Llama Loop Semi-Long
Llama loop, sans llamas. I almost died several times. I think the hillbillies and rednecks around here had already started dipping into their corn liquor. It was cold, and still a bit windy, but not like this morning. Again, my legs feel good but my head is full of snot. If I get the full-blown flu, this run is the reason.

Windy, Cold Easy
Yeah, those high winds we were promised have arrived. I was going to go semi-long this morning, but with winds gusting up to 30mph, I bagged it. The wind is supposed to drop big time around 6pm, so I’ll go out then. It’s not as if we do anything on New Year’s Eve, considering it’s basically amateur night.
Surprisingly, I had good legs this morning.

Mucousy Easy
Three Scotts loops. Another beautiful day, but I’m sick. I’ve got a cold and it sucks. Also, my achilles still hurts. I have nothing positive to say about anything.

Soggy Easy
Two Scotts loops with an extra loop of the back campus. My achilles hurts and I feel terrible. I’m getting a cold. Also, it was muy soggy. At least the weather was beautiful. The thing is, though, weather like this is forever getting your hopes up.

Easy; Nagging Pain
The usual. I felt raggedy and tired. I’m blaming the 3 hours of sleep I got last night. It was, of course, windy. I feel stupid even saying it was windy, since it’s windy every single day. Today was really windy, though. I’m not going to make it; it’s not even January and I’m already tired of winter.
I’ve got something going on in my right achilles. It doesn’t feel like the tendonitis I’ve had previously. I usually get it to one side or the other, but this is right on the back of the ankle. It’s time for the ice/Advil injury prevention fandango.

Long
The usual Plain City-Georgesville Road loop with full Forrestwood extension and a loop in Prairie Oaks. The Prairie Oaks loop was probably a mistake. It was, of course, all mush and puddles. I even had to ford a stream. I should have known better; those trails are soggy even if it just rains for an hour.
Okay, so it felt like Spring today. It was 60 degrees when I finished. But windy; oh, so windy. I hate the wind. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pain, or pity, or remorse, and it will not stop . . . EVER! Until you are dead. I honestly would rather not have days like today. Days like today are forever getting your hopes up that Spring is right around the corner.
Oh, and my legs felt tired.

Easy
Tempo loop plus Haymarket and Forrestwood extensions. Windy today; it was all in my grill for the first 6 miles or so. I beat the rain, though, so that was a plus. I wanted to get out again in the evening, but we were buying furniture all day, and by the time we got home I was so hungry I thought I was going to pass out. But, hey, we’re now the proud owners of two new couches, two new chairs, two coffee tables, two end tables and this tall shelf thing. I almost feel like a real adult.

Just easy. I was full of ham, potatoes, pasta, chips and roast beast, so I felt a little heavy.

Christmas Day Semi-Long
Llama loop plus Haymarket and Forrestwood extensions. Nice, calm morning, but cold. The llamas were in full effect, and there was no traffic.
I usually do tempo on Thursdays. I just couldn’t face it. My legs felt heavy, and I wasn’t about to have a third straight lousy tempo workout.
