Got in a long run today to make sure I had a good workout. Felt OK, but weather was rather brisk this morning. My hands were frozen, but survived. Around 12'F. Thanks God for beanie head covers, and that nice warm jacket the wife got me for Christmas to run in. That kept me semi-warm.

Got a good long run this morning, and felt OK. This cold weather stuff is just killing me. But making it through. Got the run in so that I could feel good, just in case this week goes in hand-basket.

Felt OK, and cold, but survived it.

Just quick updated. Logging my training on paper. Just wanted to say all is good, but working super long hours everyday till Thursday when I fly home.

Washington DC is very cold, but all things are slowly moving forward and doing OK so far. Inaugurations plans are doing well, and just pray that everything goes smoothly!! Got to go, its 12:20 am for me right now. Got lots to do tomorow.

5min before and 10min after to loosen legs. Felt good.

Happy Hump day folks, and keep up the workouts.  Good luck to those racing R&R Arizona this weekend, I'm sure the weather will be very nice. Cheers!

Very busy day for me, well, might as well say a very busy week. Will be working straight through for the next 7 days, no weekend time.

You all have a great day.
