Rest and Day 23

Ugh, so I didn't really "rest" on Monday. It's hard to do that when a long run is blown off, but I lifted and ran a little over 3 miles. The lift went well I did 8x185, 6x205, and 2x225 with a 14x165 burnout on bench. I've also begun to strap a 25lb weight to myself for bar dips and pull ups. I'd noticed a lot of stagnation in my pull ups and figure it's probably better to up the weight than to just try and do more (which as been the problem). Overall the lift was not my best but it shows I'm sort of maintaining. I just ran at around goal pace on the dreadmill for a few miles.

Tuesday was supposed to be 6, it was in the 20's and the sidewalks are a mess, I ended up running a little over 4 miles and then hit the trainer while watching TV. I'm really growing impatient with the weather around here, I want it to either snow enough so that I can just XC ski or get warm and dry up, we're in sort of a slushy ice limbo world. I'm really considering heading to the gym tonight and just trying to knock out my run there. I've had a hard time doing any good speed work outdoors so far and I have a 1/2 marathon in 3 weeks, I'm really looking forward to spring.
