Between work, CMSAA and the HS swim championship this past weekend I haven't had much time to breathe let alone run. But I did manage to shoehorn in some good ones. And a spin workout or two.
Last Friday I did my 7 mile loop around Sunken Meadow, complete with boardwalk, golf course and toll booth. On Saturday, I did a rare afternoon run at Eisenhower. I dropped off James for his meet and found myself with a nice chunk of time. I managed to squeeze in three 5k loops before doing my superman impression and getting changed in my car and heading in to catch the first race. The Eisenhower paths were clearing up nicely...there were just a few areas where snow and ice were a challenge. Alas, this was probably my last run in Eisenhower for awhile as I no longer have to drive to Chaminade on Saturday mornings. Still, I'm glad to have had a second option to Sunken Meadow to protect my sanity.
Yesterday I took a shot on the roads around town and did a Cow Harbor loop. It was a bit dicey in spots, mostly with the search to find a safe perch when cars would approach, but overall quite runnable. Barring no more snow I'll work that back into rotation.
This week I will be doing one of my all time favorite runs - The Strand in Los Angeles, from Redondo Beach to Manhattan Beach and back. It's my first 13 mile+ run of training and one that, given the horrible running conditions around here, I've been looking forward to. The weather forecast? Cold and rainy. I just can't win...
