Mon 3/13/17
AM Workout: 5.8 recovery miles
PM Workout: 5 x 600 w 200 jog
Notes: morning weigh-in: 172.4 / Easy recovery miles AM. PM: 2 mi up, 5 x 600 @ 5k w 200 jog (2:08 - 2:10), 1.5 down. Decided to move up the track workout a day due to snow storm scheduled to reach DC tomorrow. Started snowing once I got up to the track, and was rather windy, but good to get it in. First track session of the year.

Tue 3/14/17
Workout: 5.8 recovery miles
Notes: Cold. Windy. Had to wait until 5pm due to STELLA. Easy miles, but now is 4th run in a little over 48 hours. Not a fan of this weather.

Wed 3/15/17
Workout: 11 MLR
Notes: Brutaly cold. Windy. Awful. Had a bad run to boot. Felt sluggish, couldn't get much going. TWO bathroom stops. Don't exactly feel ready for this half on Sunday. Today marks day 30 of the current run streak. One more tomorrow then finally a rest day on Friday. Feeling like I may have over extended myself? Hope not and this cut back week on mileage and intensity will help. Need to bear down these last 4.5 weeks!

Thu 3/16/17
Workout: 6.7 recovery miles
Notes: Easy recovery miles

Fri 3/17/17
Workout: Rest day
Notes: Travel day to NYC. Planned rest and recovery day. End of 31 day runstreak.

Sat 3/18/17
Workout: 4 mile shakeout
Notes: Birthday run! Birthday run in central park! With wife! And a Des flyby! And snow! Perfect.

Sun 3/19/17
Workout: NYC Half marathon
Notes: 1:26:38 - PB! Will write up a race recap.
