AM: easy 30 minutes around the neighborhood - 3.36 miles.  Very slow and easy.  Weather has gotten decent around here - about 50 degrees today.

PM: easy 2mi. w/ dog, dropped him off, and then 7.75 mi. more - still very slow - about 9 minute pace.  (9.75 miles total - 1:28:39) Legs are pretty beat up still. 

About 50 degrees, similar to this morning.

PM: run on TM at house and made it 0.3 mi. and decided it was time for a night run outside. 

2 mi. LT - 11:46, 0.5mi rec. jog,

1mi. LT - 5:40, 0.5mi. rec.,

0.5mi. LT - 2:43

Feeling good after warming up, considering the serious lack of quality training recently.  The diet is awful, as well.  Next week is going to hurt.

AM trail race in Brown County State Park.  Snowy and cold!  Started off leading for 0.5 miles - and I don't know why.  The pace felt manageable.  Turns out it was, but, 7 dudes behind me felt that it was too easy after about mile 1.

I felt like trash after about 3 miles and can really feel the bad way I've been eating and not training lately. 

GPSed a distance of 4.8x... the race course is supposedly 5.22 miles.  I'll go with that - I ran 6:50/mile and felt like puking.
