Appropriately this week is full of family time and not so much running time!<\/p>\n
Monday<\/strong> I enjoyed my day off running with my Dad’s family in Springfield, OH.<\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong> I woke for a morning run, checking the weather pleased to see that the temp was 16 with 5 above as the windchill.\u00a0 Yay for a little warmer running.\u00a0 I just did an easy 4 mile out and back from their house in about 30 minutes.\u00a0 They live on the outskirts of Springfield in an area called Forest Hills which has a lot of little hills, starting with a steep downhill from the front door to\u00a0 the road which immediately goes back up!<\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong> it had rained all night but at least the temperature was in the 40’s and melted the layer of ice that had grown on everything Tuesday evening.\u00a0 I went for a 3.4 mile run around the town I grew up in.\u00a0 It is always interesting to see how some things have changed over the years and some haven’t.\u00a0 There was some flooding of the creek by our house so I had to turn around instead of attempting to cross the swollen banks. It was a pleasant run in Frankfort OH.<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong> Merry Christmas!!<\/p>\n Friday<\/strong> an interesting run on the Lawrence Creek and Horse Trails at Fort Harrison State Park.\u00a0 It was raining off and on, with sections of ice and snow, oh and don’t forget the thunder! I saw a lot of deer and a fox while driving to the trail head, but no animals during the run. A nice easy 4.1 mile run with some hills a wet creek crossing and a potty break only passing one other runner.\u00a0 I also used the “back to start” function on my Garmin for the first time, it is a little confusing but got me headed back in the right direction. It was about 35 and a little windy.<\/p>\n Saturday<\/strong> what a difference… it was 56 when I left with 90% humidity.\u00a0 I ran 8 miles along the Frankfort Bike trail.\u00a0 I was surprised more people weren’t out enjoying the nice change in weather.\u00a0 The sun actually came out and there was a small bit of wind. I threw in a few 1\/4 mile pickups on the out and back finishing in 59:58 for a nice hard run.\u00a0 It was nice to have the chance to run on a flat trail without snow or anything. I didn’t bring any t-shirts though so I ended up taking my shirt off!<\/p>\n Sunday<\/strong> back in Indianapolis I awoke with my lower back calling out in pain.\u00a0 Sadly sleeping on air mattresses has caught up to me. I decided this time to not go for a run to loosen everything up.\u00a0 We are spending way to much time in the car and sleeping on uncomfortable pieces of floating plastic.<\/p>\n Weekly Mileage<\/strong><\/p>\n Running – 19.5 miles<\/p>\n Last Year<\/strong><\/p>\n Run: 3.0 Mi Last year I wished all of my friends a Merry Christmas<\/a> before continuing the Best of 2007 Series.\u00a0 This week it was the Best National Performances<\/a>, my top 5 most read articles<\/a>, and a Foto Friday<\/a> showing my 2007 hardware!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Appropriately this week is full of family time and not so much running time!
