Probably one of the worst running days ever. I had planned on going to a class this morning and even called the gym to make sure the class was happening since the schedule is messed up due to the holidays. The guy assured me the class was happening. I rolled into the gym a bit early to get a few warm up miles in. There was a note on the class door indicating the class I was there for was cancelled, bummer. I decided since I was there I might as well do a long run, but my mind had already decided I wasn't supposed to be running that day. I ran an extremely slow 7 miles 8:12 AP. Things can only get better:)

I'm getting so tired of my gym. Two days in a row they have messed up my workout. I woke up and got to the gym by my usual 4:30, which is when it is supposed to open. The employee never showed up till 5:30, but thanks to Roy we were able to get into the building at 5:00. I ran a quick 3.4 miles and headed to kickboxing class, I'm thankful I was able to get my aggression out lol. 

I hope everyone has a safe and fun New Years Eve!

Paul and I decided yesterday that we should run 14 miles for 2014. We talked Jason into the adventure as well. We got up this morning and started running at a freezing 19 degrees. Our miles were fairly slow, but we were just having fun and chatting. At mile 7 we stopped to fuel up and Jason was having pain in his ankle and decided he shouldn't go further. Paul and I finished the 14 miles. It was fun to see Lily twice on the run as well. Happy New Year!

Ran 4.55 SLOW miles, there may have even been some walking in there;) My legs felt trashed from the speed work yesterday. Weights worked quads, hamstrings, inner thigh, biceps, triceps, chest, abs and obliques.
