Slept in a bit and got out around 7:15. Wind was pretty potent at our house but ended up not being so bad during the run. Felt pretty clunky at first but felt pretty good by the end. Also did 5 min plank last night and plan on doing some pushups later today.

Another nice morning run 35 degrees and very little wind. We've really been spoiled this month with the warmer temps even while getting lots of storms. Hope we're done with the single digit mornings until the end of the year. Also got to the gym for 30 min XT.

Warmed up a mile with Kimi then headed over to do some hill repeats. Not so fun with the steep headwind on the uphills but I was able to zone out a bit and was done before I knew it. No blazing speed involved today but always good to get in some hills.

Nice morning easy 6 mile run, some with Kimi and some solo. Later got to the gym for 30 min XT. Planning on some core/plank tonight.

Nice 4-miler in the early morning with Kimi-loo. Also did 4 min plank last night (didn't have it in me to try for 5 min this time) and maybe I'll do some pushups later today.

Nice 16 miler with the gang. Legs got a little tired the last couple of miles.
