AM:  10 easy out-and-back miles from my home (ran by Thanksgiving Point) with Mike and Reed. Was bitterly cold. Wind chill was insane. I'm officially sick of snow and ice in the valley (I'm great with the mountains continuing to get dumped with moisture though).

PM:  Hamstring and upper body weights.

AM:  20 mile loop from my home with Jake, Brandon, Mike, Toni, Dan, and Chad.  Snowy and icy at times so we kept the pace leisurely. What a wonderful way to begin the New Year.  Thanks to everyone for coming this morning. The miles flew by and the company was fantastic.  Big results for FRB-ers coming in 2013!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

AM:  10 easy out and back miles from my home with Reed and Dan.  Very cold (-2 degrees), but do-able with the right amount of layers.

AM:  Easy 10 mile loop from Scott's house with Dan, Reed, and Scott. Was great to have Scott back in the mix again. Very cold again, but not a big deal if dressed appropriately.

AM:  Awesome 17 mile run from Jake's and Andrea's place with Scott, Mike, Fritz, Chad, Jake, and Andrea. Cold out (single digits) but we definitely warmed up during the run. Warmed up 4 miles. Then did 10 mile tempo run in 53:42 (I think I'll copy Jakes' idea of bolding important workouts). I stayed right with Jake for 8.5 miles and then he sped up while I maintained. I felt very strong. There were times I wondered if I could make it the entire 10 miles, and I took it mile-by-mile at times, but I felt strong the entire time and I finished feeling like I could keep going. Splits (these are slightly different than what Jake posted, but this is what my Garmin said):  5:16, 5:20, 5:18, 5:25, 5:18, 5:22, 5:25, 5:21, 5:27, 5:24 (5:22 average). Confidence-building and a lot of fun.

Jake was a total animal as usual. Fritz looked great and wisely backed off after a few miles because of his hamstring. Mike looked great also and even helped Jake and me out by jumping in and doing some mile repeats near the end of our tempo run. Was great to have Scott there with us! He looked great and wisely mostly ran easy. Chad did great. And Andrea certainly didn't look like she has been struggling with injuries -- she's got running in her genes.

We then capped it off with an excellent breakfast prepared by Andrea! It was so tasty and really hit the spot! Thanks Andrea!

Thanks guys for an amazing and fun run!

 PM:  Upper body weights.
