Ran the Running of the Leopards 5k.  Got a PR by almost a minute...ya, not sure this course counts as a PR but I'll take it anyway. Second in my age group, not sure of overall placing.

Warmed up in the slushy stuff.  Ran a few strides.  Felt bueno.

Cooled down with White and Josh E.  Really fun race and I won an itunes gift card in the raffle..boo-ya!

+ Bouldering at the gym for 45minutes or so.  I was trashed but fun little session.  Did some planks, push-ups and core stuff too.

Easy long run with S.  Cold and sunny outside.  Legs, especially hamstrings  are really tight from yesterday so this run wasn't my finest but I got er' done.  So much for my long run ninja skills I raved about last week.  Foam roller pain session coming up.

Oui Oui Lulu. It was super fun but I'm glad to be home. Next time I go to Europe I want to go to the Mountains.

Josee-Right now I'm only planning on doing the UVM...but I'm sure that will change.

Ran easy 2 miles than 2 x 1 mile at 10k pace.  Was supposed to do 4 miles but I still don't feel totally back to normal from our trip so I didn't want to push it.  Stayed dry the first half than the rains unleashed on me.  Feeling bueno.

Easy 2 mile warm-up.  14 miles at marathon pace +10/20 sec. Easy 2 mile cool down.  Felt really good until the work out was done than the batteries died.  Was hard to keep the pace in the right range.  My pace was supposed to be 8:10-8:20...Am I aiming to low for a marathon time??
