Thoughts: I got home at around 12:30am from a Clutch concert and had a hard time falling asleep. I figured I'd have a crappy morning and a terrible run, but it wasn't so bad. This morning was about as cold as I can take it without putting on thicker gloves and a full winter hood. It was 22 degrees and breezy. As I descended the New Hill with the eastern sky at my disposal, I caught a shooting star rocketing toward the horizon. That is always awe inspiring to me.

Thoughts: There was about an inch of snow on the road, not quite enough for it to be my first run with STABILicers. I figured the roads would be clear of snow, but for the most part they were not. My feet slipped quite a bit which always kills my back for some reason. For the most part it was an okay run.

Thoughts: I haven't felt very energetic this week so I wasn't looking forward to this run as much as I typically do. But, once I got going I felt pretty good and kept a nice pace. The street was covered with black ice so there was a bit of slippage. A sliver of moon was rising as I got to the east end, and it was one of those mornings that was so dark that that dark side of the moon was visible. It was quite the visual treat.
I adjusted my training calendar today. I read an article that said one of the mistakes that people make when training for a marathon is not leaving ample amount of time for recovery between their big run and marathon day. Hal Higdon's training guide leaves 3 weeks between the big run week and the marathon. This article suggested 4 weeks with a mileage of 32, 24, 16 an 8 miles. So, I removed the final week of "Spring Training" (which is a clone of the first week of "Novice 1" anyway), shifted all my weeks up to gain a week after my long run, and then adjusted the miles so they taper as suggested.

Weather: Cold and Clear

Thoughts: I forgot to turn on my alarm the evening before and woke up at the time I normally return from my run. So, I had to run when I got home in the evening. I felt very light on my feet and kept a comparably fast pace. About two miles in I had to remind myself that I would be running again in less than 10 hours and slowed my pace.

Thoughts: As my pace suggests, it was another difficult run. My legs were still very sore from my kettlebell workout on Friday. I was hoping that I would have recovered by now, and now I hope that continuing to run doesn't make things worse.
