Monday 1/26: Meeting after school + preparation for blizzard kept me from getting out today.
Tuesday 1/27: 1.5 on snowshoes around my woods. So far, we haven't gotten too much snow. I know it's worse in other parts of New England.
Wednesday - Saturday: 0. Lazy and slightly injured. Right hip is bothering me.
Sunday 2/1: 9 w/athlete. Nice sunny morning. Felt pretty good.
Weekly total: 10.5

January 19th - 25th
Monday 1/19: 0. I'm in a rut time wise and energy wise. The achilles is ready. Time to get on the horse.
Tuesday 1/20: 0. My pep talk entry didn't work.
Wednesday 1/21: 2.5 around school. Blech. At least I ran.
Thursday 1/22: 0. My rut continues.
Friday 1/23: 2.5 around school. I didn't feel great, but I'm glad I got out there. Nice and warm - 35 degrees.
Saturday 1/24: 4 miles. I lifted weights - 2x upper body then I warmed up with a mile on the treadmill. I hit the snowy roads for three more miles. I don't know how people can run for more than ten minutes on a treadmill. It's torture.
Sunday 1/25: 6 w/athletes around town. We tried heading out on the rail trail, but it was too darn slippery. The pace was easy, but the effort wasn't. Tough slogging for some reason for all. Beautiful weather - maybe a tad too windy. I felt hot when the wind was at my back and cold when it was in my face. I definitely felt like February is almost here.
Weekly total: 15. Getting back into things.

January 12th - 18th
Monday 1/12: 0. I stayed home today to get the furnace serviced. It's been a little janky to use the vernacular of Seth. I would have loved to run today, but my left achilles is a tad tender. I better be cautious. Probably a result of running so long yesterday on slippery roads.
Tuesday 1/13: 0. My achilles is still an issue. I really feel it going up and down stairs. I didn't have time to run anyway today, but I'm hoping tomorrow the achilles feels better.
Wednesday 1/14: 0. Again the achilles is an issue, and again I was swamped with things to do which included getting ready for my first day tomorrow as the substitute vice principal.
Thursday 1/15: 0. Four straight goose eggs. My day was hectic and rewarding. The good news is my achilles gave me no complaints today. I even jogged from my car to test it out. Things are looking up for this weekend.
Friday and Saturday 1/16 & 1/17: 0.
Sunday 1/18: 1.5. I tested out the achilles today. It seemed decent. Felt like I hadn't run in a month.
Weekly total: 1.5 - Big week! I think the rest was well spent as my achilles felt ok on Sunday.

January 5th - January 11th
Monday 1/5: 0. Getting my energy and appetite back. I had a lot of chores today.
Tuesday 1/6: 0. Chores and meetings.
Wednesday 1/7: 2.5 around town. It was cold and windy. Tonight and tomorrow are supposed to be brutal. These are the nights I worry about the furnace. I guess I inherited that trait from Pard.
Thursday 1/8: 7 w/athletes after school. We ran an old 7 miler that I hadn't run since 2013. The rail trail had decent traction thanks to snowmobile tread. It wasn't easy to take the steep goat path out of the rail bed at the end of the run. It made for some pretty hilarious moments as we all slid backwards down the slope. We eventually got out by crawling up on our hands and knees and using any trees we could to claw our way up. Cramp-ons and an ice axe would have been helpful.
Friday 1/9: 0. No time after school.
Saturday 1/10: 5.5 around town. Cold morning. My right hip is a little sore.
Sunday 1/11: 11 w/athlete on roads of Hinsdale. Brrrr! Zero degrees when we headed out at 8am. Felt decent.

Bring on 2015 - Last week of December/First week of Jan.
Monday 12/29: 5 to the Vin Gormley Bridge. Nice morning for a run. I felt stiff from all the travel and sleeping on strange mattresses.
Tuesday 12/30: 3 on the Yellow Dot. I ran this as a tempo run before we packed the car and headed back home. I tried not to hammer too hard in order to save something in my legs for Thursday. Fun little trip to MA and RI.
Wednesday 12/31: 4 w/Greg on 4H in Pisgah. Last run of 2014. It was nice and cold. I had a hard time getting motivated to run today. Greg was willing to run a double today which helped me get off the couch. I'm not racing the Millennium Mile tomorrow, but I will attempt another mile time trial at Brattleboro. It's going to be cold with a windchill around 10 degrees. Definitely not ideal conditions, but I'll give a big effort tomorrow regardless.
Thursday 1/1: 6.5 w/Greg and 2 athletes around Brattleboro track. We ran the mile (6:37), a 200 (40), a 400 (93), and an 800 (3:01) all in 12 degrees temps. Fun way to celebrate the new year.
Friday - Sunday. Sick with the flu. I had to get two liters of IV on Friday morning after scaring Gina by fainting and smacking my noggin on the door. No worse for the wear now, but it wasn't my top choice for ending Xmas vacation.
18.5 miles for the week.

December 22nd - 28th
Monday 12/22: 3 solo on the HRT. Felt a little sluggish after yesterday's long run. Nice evening to run. I finished right before it got dark.
Tuesday 12/23: 0.
Wednesday 12/24: 4 around Brattleboro. I was planning on running a one mile time trial with some athletes. We did a nice warm-up with drills and strides then got ready to race. The track was nice and clear until we hit the far turn at 200 meters. There was a 15 meter section of ice that covered every lane. We almost wiped out on it. We decided to pull the plug. Kind of bummed. I decided to grab a couple more miles around town.
Thursday 12/25: 3 miles around school. 48 degrees - nice GW! I overdressed today. I also felt incredibly crooked today. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.
Friday 12/26: 8 in Pisgah. I hammered on this run. A few of my splits were parking area to 1st gate 14:50, gate to gate up Spirit Breaker - 6:08, and gate to parking area back - 11:40. Felt a lot better than yesterday. Trails were in great shape - just muddy with puddles, but no snow or ice.
Saturday 12/27: 0. We drove down to Massachusetts for a Christmas party with Gina's family.
Sunday 12/28: 0. We headed down to Rhody to celebrate with my side of the family. Fun seeing everyone. I didn't get to sneak out for a run.
Weekly Total: 18

December 15th - 21st
Monday 12/15: 0. Too much going on today.
Tuesday 12/16: 0. See above.
Wednesday 12/17: 6 w/athletes. 3 mile warm-up. 2,2,4 x 3. 45 avg. for the 200s. 1:35 for the 400s. Time was running out, so we ditched the last 400. Felt ok.
Thursday 12/18: 0. Another day where I had to hustle home as I had baby duty all night. Uncle Greg came over for the second night in a row. He was a big help.
Friday 12/19: 7 solo on miscellaneous Hinsdale roads. It was a cold, blustery day. I had an hour to run, so I tried to grab as many miles as possible. Peppy pace.
Saturday 12/20: 3.5 from Boat Landing. Nice morning. I thought I might go farther, but my legs were a little sore from yesterday.
Sunday 12/21: 10 w/athlete. The back roads were a little nasty, so we ran out and back on 119. Snowy morning. I saw a guy hoist a nice bass out of the setbacks. I can't believe they are on the ice - it hasn't been frozen very long. Feeling pooped.
