Cold. Dark. Work. Did I mention Cold?
Rest day for me. And maybe tomorrow too if that nonsense outside keeps up!

Morning.
7.2 slow miles in 14 degrees, my legs were frozen.

Weights tonight. Hype is starting for an epic, major, horrendous storm Friday into Saturday.
Morning! I have 7 with 2 at MP tonight. I cannot wait to leave the office already, ha.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Good morning, my internet friends! Another morning, another swim done. 2000 yards with the masters group. I've got a one hour spin session to do tonight as well.
Early predictions for Boston/New York (which means Connecticut) is a foot of snow...if it hits. And if it hits, I'll be taking a DNS on my Saturday 10K.

Earlier I had sent numbers if 12-20 inches. Now I'm seeing 9-15, but may have some icy crap in there. Glad I did not register for a 5k on Sunday, if we get that much snow, it will be cancelled.
Penguin Power!
Gross. So a half marathon in NYC on Sunday morning is going to suck...
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)

On the positive side : better chance at age group or overall win!
Will it be held if there is a state of emergency?
Hmm I'm not sure. I think as long as the subways are running they'll hold the race. If the course is really snowy they might turn it into an untimed race so that people don't injure themselves by trying to run too fast? I'll have to see what Nyrr comes up with. They haven't said anything yet but this race has at least 5000 runners registered.
Super B****
Fun run if it's as bad as they say.
You know those mornings when every single thing that happens is just slapping you in the face with you should have stayed in bed? Yeah, it's one of those. My sports performance AlterG shorts seem to be leaking, since I got an error with them and was forced to use the regular ones (AKA, the ones with a crotch seam). Then one of the navigation buttons on my FR70 spontaneously decided to stop working, and MMR is being a bitch. And the windchill is negative a million degrees, so why am I not still in bed?!
Oh, yeah. AlterG 8. My leg is still stupid.

After the race yesterday someone asked me if I ran 30-40 miles a week. (My bad foot would fall off if I ran 30 miles per week.) My answer was 15-20. They wanted to know how I can be that fast on 15-20 per week.
Probably 4 miles tonight.
Personal Bests:
800M - 2:38 (5/28/13) | 1 Mile -5:54 (5/28/13) | 3K - 11:55 (12/29/12) | 2M - 13:00 (12/1/12) | 5K - 20:00 (4/12/13) | 13.1M - 1:37:24 (2/3/13)
I just realized that I hit my 4,000th mile yesterday since I started back running 4 1/2 years ago.
