Training in Montana

3 TM miles at home this morning. Will hit Boot Camp at noon.

Noon Boot Camp. A great full body workout with copious amounts of sweat released. It was a good session which hit multiple parts of the body. My upper body is so much stronger than it used to be, but still so weak compared to most others in the class. I felt a bit emasculated at times.

6 miles outside. Took a different road for the 3rd mile and it makes this 6 miler much more difficult. I need that for my June mountain run so I'll likely start doing this route more often. The wind was in my face most of the run as it switched directions on my halfway through. Not terribly cold thank goodness, 34F and just before the mid point I pulled off the jacket as I was sweating pretty good.

AP: 8:20, total time 50:02.

4 TM miles while it was 12 degrees outside. I started late so had to go faster than normal to finish in time for family breakfast & scriptures. Watched some Forrest Gump while running. That's all I have to say about that.

Rest day. Loved sleeping in.

Super warm morning so I was overdressed but not too much. 44 at 6 am, 48 at 7 am so it got warmer on me as I ran. Decent run, didn't feel horrible but not great either. I just ran.

AP: 8:00

Daughters' 9th birthday today so I planned to get up at 5:30 and get my run in before breakfast in bed but the wind picked up last night and there were 39 mph gusts at 5 am. Slept in and hit the TM for 2.75 before the girl woke up. Wind died down so I ventured out after gifts were opened.  It wasn't quite to brutal stage but annoying and made the run difficult. Windy day, uphill, and freshly gravelled road was a tough combination.

AP: 8:20
