Splish Splash!

Not taking a bath, but I should now...

It's 41°F here today! Beautiful weather, but tough to run in as the sidewalks are mostly puddles and the ice is covered with a VERY slick coating of water. Got to be careful to avoid falling on my keister. :-)

Today was another day of base training before my trainer starts to hammer on me for real. Went out for a 30 minute run through my local cemetery where I can run on blacktop without having to worry very much about cars. It's a beautiful place too and you can run over 3 miles without re-tracing your steps. I think you could actually run more like 6 or 7 miles, but I haven't mapped it out yet.

I started off chugging along and slowly getting my heart rate up to the aerobic zone and kept it there just to work on building the base as John Ellis talks about all the time. If you haven't heard him, check out episode 126 of Phedippidations. You can find it on iTunes.

That's it for today, make sure to check out the next episode of Another Runner where you just might hear an audio comment from a certain pokey runner from Iowa. :o)

See you on the roads folks!
