Six miles at work, also 25 min XT + core.  Felt horrible today and my HR was through the roof.  Not sure what is wrong with me, maybe I'm coming down with something.

Got in 6 miles in the late afternoon. Thankfully it felt better than Monday's run although my stomach was a little queasy. Felt good enough to do 4 20s strides and was joined by 2 very cute and playful beagle puppies.

I wimped out with the rainy weather and hit the gym for 30 min XT + core and 4 miles on the lovely treadmill. HR is still way higher than it should be hope that resolves itself soon.

Got in 6 miles outside at work just before lunch. Wintery day but no rain/snow was falling and not much wind and mid-30's so I thought it was just dandy for a run, much better than the treadmill. Nice to have a little more oomph today than the last few days.

Also did 30 min XT + core.

Four easy miles around lunch time.  A bit on the nippy side (mid-30's) but I was dressed for it and the sunshine was dandy.

Slept in and waited until the sunshine came out then went out with Kim on a nippy but nice & sunny morning. Very enjoyable run.  Did 6 20s strides during the last half of the run as we try to wake up some sleeping fast-twitch muscles as we look toward running some 5Ks early next year.
