ONE 1 - 7 (37.4) Calhoun's New Year's Day 5k

Sunday 1

1 up. LMLS. 22:59 on a slightly long course. 1 down.

Justin beat me for the first time on the road and second time overall. He ran a great race with a 6:45 third mile. I wasn't disappointed in my place; I was 66 overall, 55 male, and 3 in my age group. I was disappointed in my time, especially my third mile.

Turkey Trot 5k Splits: 7:09.3, 7:02.6, 7:04.9

I didn't do a good job last night with recovery. When I got home I watched TV and did a little laundry. I also stayed up past my bedtime and didn't sleep well. On a positive note I added vitamin D to my supplement regimen.

This morning we have snow and very cold temps. My morning run is cancelled. ON another note, my left shoulder is wrecked and I don't know why. It was fine when I went to bed, but now I have issues lifting my arm over head.
