Waterloo 8k
Post Workout Blog:
Ran the Re-fridgee-eighter 8k in Waterloo this morning to get in a solid race / workout effort in. Nice event, great volunteers, local race. Roads were better than I anticipated, and the police escort cars allowed me to race in the driving lane at parts of the course opposed to the bike lanes which were a little sloppy. It started to freezing rain during my cool down so besides being cold, the weather cooperated well

Went back to Guelph lake trails for the run today. It's been snowing for about 2 days straight here in Guelph. Those trails seem to have better footing than the bike lanes and sidewalks, so it was a good call on my part to drive back out there - really nice run

Really nice run through Guelph lake trails. Still getting a ton of snow, and footing is not ideal at all, but it made for a really pretty run

8 x 800 on 1' rest in flats @ indoor track (field house)
Post Workout Blog:
Was going to do 10 x 800, but felt really flat today. Felt tired, and I think that's just from lifting still, and the snowy winter runs. It's been snowing a lot. A lot, a lot. Need to try to get into a better mentality for the rest of this build.

Run on the treadmill... it snowed a lot yesterday and over night, so outside was not the smart choice. As much as I hate treadmills, just had to do it
