Sunday December 27

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  Although mine was great unfortunatley I was sick from Christmas eve through Saturday and couldn't train.  The good news is I caught up on some much needed rest and healing, plus I got a lap counter and bike computer that I really needed so I'm ready to get back to business. 

Distance - 80 minute run. I decided to take advantage of the first decent weather we've had and see how far I could run.  Since I'm pretty good at judging my pace I'm sure I was doing at least 9:30 miles so I know I did at least 8.   The key was running in the woods on soft wet leaves and dirt.  My knee and shin felt fine although when I got back to running in the street on the way home my knee quickly knew the difference.   I took the time to really stretch and ice after and today it feels fine.  I'm confident that I'll be able to handle January's distnces although I haven't seen my schedule yet.

Nutrition - Cheese omelet and toast two hours before.  I thought I drank enough water before i left the house so I didn't take a water bottle with me.  Mistake!
