Just took it easy! Not wanting to be injured at all this season. Looking to do the 7k in a sub-7 fashion, but knowing me and Time Machine (Chad), it will be closer to 6:30’s…I’m not sure I’m ready for that.
Workout:
I love that it is staying lighter out into the evenings. Now I can get some good running (outside) in after a ong day of work. This run was tough for multiple reasons:
1) trails around lake were full of slush, ice and snow
2) it was windy near the south and east ends of the lake (blowing snow effect)
3) lack of good nutrition and hydration throughout my day at work.
4) a few nice pices of ’scenary’ that kept me off pace, yes even in the cold and dark of winter, cute MN girls get out and run too…in tights!!!!
All in all, a great run, a beautiful night and my achilles hate me!

Workout:
New Nike Pegasus clima 07’s! It is 20 degrees here, or so, and my feet were plenty warm in these babies. Thank you Running Room for the shoes.
tough run with the ice, snow and slush. Cars don’t see runners???!!!! So be VERY careful out there!

Workout:
Ran, with purpose. Ran, in the icey snow and cold of the already known cedar lake trail in Mpls. horrible trail conditions leaves me wanting spring, but enjoying every step pain free on my way to the season of glory. tried out the new trail shoes…not the right fit yet got me through.

Workout:
Cold, dark run through Albertville! My friend, Brian, lent me a headlamp gizmo that flashes red i the front and back along with a small spotlight. Worked wonders and I will need to own one now. Thanks Brian for keeping me safe…I saw 5 cars and they all saw me for sure. Wish i would have had more time to soak up the glories of the run, but life is quick…even on Monday nights.
Back in it the best I can for now. Loving the new motivation and energy levels. if I could hug “triathlon” I most certainly would.
Workout:
My personal best so far!!!!

Workout:
Kids were with their Mom when I got home! I wanted to ride the bike, but didn’t have the time to put on any decent mileage. So, I strapped on the new Asics DS Trainer 14’s and went fora run up to the local grocery store which also has a video store attached. My goal was to run slow…Haha! Plan #1…shot. Plan #2 was to pick up the ‘Gran Torino’ movie…Plan #2, in full affect! Got plenty of funny looks as I cme into the store beat red faced and panting like a rabid dog, but I got over it, and so did they. Bought my movie and hit the pavement for 2.8 miles (which would be the long way home). Felt good, but was going way too fast for a training run. I need to slow my pace for training or its gonna be an awful end of the season, riddled with pointless injury. last time I checked, I still have 8 races to go!! More on that later.
Remember…soon to come, Buffalo Sprint TRI race report!!
GK…out!

it was cold and windy at race start…38 degrees and gusts of up to 20+ MPH. Garmin was out of juice, didn’t pack racing tights, wrong running gloves, and didn’t eat enough pre-race breakfast. No HRM, opted out of the fuel belt route at the last minute…didn’t seem like this was gonna be my day. Expectations out the window, results, for me, nothing shy of spectacular. i ran MY race, heart of a lion all the way through. running with a vengeance and running with purpose.
my thought of the week:
If in your efforts of helping ONE causes pain for many…what have you really accomplished?
have a good training/racing week everyone! Its good to be here…strive for excellence!
Greenking….out!
