\"\"<\/a>Last weekend’s time change made it a little easier to get up in the morning for a run.\u00a0 But by the time I get home from work… its pitch black.\u00a0 That’s no fun either. Even with the earlier sunrise I still found a lot of excuses not to run.\u00a0 Talk about temperature contrasts though… geesh.\u00a0 After last week’s race I walked around in a sleeveless shirt but after this week’s race I was looking for more dry layers to put on.<\/p>\n

I ran Monday<\/strong> 3.25 miles on my Metrodome loop. It took me a meandering 24:35 to do it, but it was warm and sunny.\u00a0 The temperature was around 50 and it felt pretty good.<\/p>\n

I stayed up pretty late Monday night writing a blog post – not a smart idea because I was really tired and slept in Tuesday <\/strong>morning. Plus I had to be at work extra early to make sure our students handled the election without any problems. Everything went smoothly and at 4:30pm when I left they were at 76% voter turnout without counting the absentee ballots.<\/p>\n

We stayed out late on Tuesday watching the election returns with friends.\u00a0 And I had another early morning with a meeting on Wednesday<\/strong>. Pretty much everyone there was exhausted – it was a school related meeting and our referendum passed!<\/p>\n

Luckily the weather held out for one more day. Thursday<\/strong> I got a nice 4 mile run in on my Park-Downtown loop.\u00a0 It was raining but in the 50’s so it felt really good actually. I ran it in 30:07.\u00a0 I’m glad I got one last run in with pretty nice weather.<\/p>\n

I skipped Friday<\/strong> so I would be well rested for Saturday’s race.\u00a0 It snowed though.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong> morning was the USATF-MN XC Championships. It was a 10k on a cold (32f) morning.\u00a0 It was snowing when I woke up but the ground was just really soggy.\u00a0 I ran the 10k in 43:09 on a pretty hilly golf course.\u00a0 More on that later though!<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong> was a nice cold 8 mile run.\u00a0 The temp was around 27 when I left and it was snowing off and on throughout the morning.\u00a0 We met at the Sibley House<\/a> and ran south along the Minnesota River for a nice, fairly easy hour.\u00a0 The final time was 64 minutes.\u00a0 This was my first time on that trail and it was fairly scenic. I was surprised at how good I felt after the 10k.\u00a0 My toe still hurt a little bit but nothing major.<\/p>\n

Total Mileage:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running – 21.5 miles<\/p>\n

Biking – 22.3 miles<\/p>\n
