Week 10 - Week of January 3rd

Snow and ice won't keep me from running!

New Year, New Shoes!  My wife got my a new pair of running shoes for Christmas - Nike LunarGlide2!  I wore them for the first time on January 4 and they're awesome!


Week 10 - All runs at John A. Phillips Park, unless otherwise noted.


January 4 - Hard Progression Run.  Total = 5 Miles (splits - 7:07, 6:52, 6:43, 6:32, 5:59.  Ave = 6:39 p/mi).  Felt real good and new shoes were awesome!
Weather = 35/28/52%; SSW11; PCl
Weight after run = 148
Shoes - Nike LunarGlide2


January 5 - Easy Run at Marlboro Retro Fitness.  Planned to run 17 miles (8 in the first hour and 9 in the second), but felt flat.  Thought about my last 17-miler and it was only 14 days ago and I also ran a hard progression run yesterday!  What was I thinking?!?  Decided to just do 10 miles and not push it.
Weight after run = 147
Shoes - Nike Air Zoom Skylon (orange)


January 7 - Easy Run - 5.25 miles (splits - 8:15, 7:47, 8:00, 7:45, 7:42, 7:51.  Ave = 7:54 p/mi).

January 9 - Easy Run - Total = 8 miles (splits - 7:52, 7:32, 7:38, 7:23, 7:38, 7:23, 7:26, 7:01. Ave = 7:29 p mi).  Ran with the removable spikes my brother-in-law gave me for Christmas with the shoes my wife gave me for Christmas!  The road going to the park was mostly clear, but the park paths were covered with snow and ice.  I had no problems running and even turned the corners, which were covered with ice, with confidence and no slipping!
