Comments THUNDERSNOW!

Why isn't thundersnow an option for weather on RP? This is the first time I've witnessed it, and it's AWESOME! Most of the sidewalks were slush, but nothing I haven't run in in Rochester. The best part of this run was helping push DC drivers who got themselves stuck - somehow - in 2 inches of snow. One lady even asked me to un-stick her $100k sportscar, which was so hopelessly stuck by that point that the best I could do was back it up onto the sidewalk and let the police deal with it, and that was with three people pushing.

Eventful run, needless to say.

Comments Easy run through Rock Creek Park. A few quick sections, the fastest of which was a period where I had to drop some chump around mile 8. Some parts were a little snowy/icy. I felt pretty good, and while I'm out of shape, I'm not too far out of shape. I'll be back in it in less than a month, and I should definitely be ready come April.

Comments USATF Club XC Nationals at McAlpine Park, Charlotte, North Carolina.

I pulled out of the race a week or so ago due to lack of fitness, but I went to cheer on the guys at natties, and I'm glad I did. They had a great race, finishing 14th overall. I took a bunch of pictures, which can be found here: http://www5.snapfish.com/snapfish/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=2771736027/a=4597686027_4597686027/otsc=SHR/otsi=SALBlink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/

My run for the day consisted of a mix of warming up, running around during the four races, and cooling down with the guys after their race.

Comments 4 miles on the indoor track at the YMCA, 2 miles on the treadmill.

I joined a new gym yesterday, and I went to test out the indoor track after work today. It's banked, but it's only 100m, so it gets a little repetitive. Still better than a treadmill, though. I'm slightly concerned that all the turning will cause a muscle imbalance, so I'm going to keep track of how many laps I've done in each direction.

Comments This is the first time I've logged on RP with my phone. Its not that bad, but I'd prefer an app, Joe.

Good, fast tempo after work. Did about a 1.5 mile warm up, then a six mile tempo up Mass Ave and along the Ms Sharon loop. Some guy on a bike who was trying to keep up with me in the big hill on Massachusetts said I was going "bloody fast."

Finished slower, since my legs were a little tired from the tempo.
