Went out for an easy 4 miles in 32:00. My toe felt a bit better. I think it was due to the very soft surface I was running on. I taped it to prevent it from bending back too much. I will rest a couple of days until the Frozen Feat on Saturday. It sound like the temps will be about 0F for the race.

The ice storm is over. I went out for a run after work. The roads were a bit muddy but I did find solid footing for most of the run. I went 4.5 miles in 32:40. My big toe started to hurt as I pushed off of it at the end of the run. I hope that does not last too long. Maybe one more run before the race on Saturday.

I went on a 4.2 mile run today in about 31 min. Not really feeling that great yet. The effects of the stomach bug are hanging around. Still a bit of an unsettled stomach. The weather was quite nice today about 30 F and sunny. It looks like we are in for an ice storm or winter storm this week. Hopefully I can get in another couple of runs before the Frozen Feat 5k.

Feeling a bit better today. I went on a 4 mile run. Ran in about 30 min The weather was great about 25F and no wind to speak of which is rare around here. I felt pretty good although a little weak. I lost about 5 lbs from the flu. Probably a lot of water weight.

Yuck, the stomach flu has got me down. Came down with it Tuesday night but it is not over yet.
I may have to wait until Saturday to run. My two sons also have it. There is nothing like taking care of someone with the stomach flu when you have it yourself.

Great Super Bowl game, great food, great company. Now to burn off all of that good food. Went on a 4 mile run after work. Temp was about -5 but not much wind so it went pretty well. My time was 29:30. Less than 2 weeks until the Frozen Feat 5k run. I hope the temperatures rebound a bit for the run. It would be nice to have a large turn out in Grand Forks.

Went out for a 4 mile run. It was quite nice running east 2 miles in 14:45. Running west was a different story wind directly from the west at 25mph gusting to 35 according to the weather service. Those 2 miles were in about 17:00. Luckily for me the temp was about 25F so I did not get too cold just a bit winded on the way back. I felt like my legs were running at about the same 7:30/mile pace but my body was moving about 8:30/mile.
