Legs finally felt good today. I have been nursing a pain right above my right ankle. Ever since Thanksgiving I have not done any running. Been doing some cross training, but nothing too serious. Anyways felt good to get back out there today. Lincoln Marathon Registration opened yesterday and I was not going to register until I could run on the leg again. So I registered tonight and have decided that this is finally the marathon I am going to qualify for Boston!!!

Another 3 tonight. It was sub zero if I was going to run before school, so I decided second day back to not do that... Did not feel the pain above the ankle at all so cut loose on the last 2 miles and ran them both in 6minutes. Needless to say pretty happy that I can still get down that low after taking a few weeks off.

4 easy today. Only 20-25 mph winds with gusts of 30 today out here, nothing compared to what I heard others went through today!

Eight today, a bunch of positives from this run. I had no specific goal for today but to enjoy the fact that it was 40s in December, and I did! Before I realized it an hour had past and I was still feeling great, great confidence boost after the injury. I made it through a whole week of training with no ankle injury, which makes me feel that I can start the marathon training tomorrow. Trying for an increase of mileage gradually til beginning of February and then marathon specific. I really think that if I actually train correctly for a marathon that I can break 3! I really hope this winter early spring is good weather because I am feeling that this is the race! Oh reading that 20+ people were going for a group run today was a major motivator getting me out there today, so thanks!

8 today. A bunch of different types of runs mixed in, I did a faster 5k (roughly 19:30-20:00) then hopped on the treadmill and did two miles at grade 7-8 and a fast mile at 10mph (grade was now at 1.5). Rest were easy mileage in between.

6 miles on treadmill with 10 1 minute fast and 1 minute slow was hoping for more, but finally felt some fatigue, not sure if it was from running or school, but overall not bad.

Wintry snowy mix winds at 30mph so yep I was outside running! I decided to do laps around football field and then some sprints into the wind. Cold, wet, and windy but an enjoyable run!
