4.74 night miles in 43:33. The run streak ended in February after I slipped on ice and tweaked my knee. The year has been inconsistent but I still have a pair of half marathons and almost 1,300 miles, so. New streak is at ... 1.

Wrapped up the week with 6.06 miles in 50:30 on the indoor track. Good week overall, with 45.31 miles. Easier week in the desert up next -- no intervals, just a long run.

Forgot to log my long run yesterday: Ran 13.15 miles in 2:01:00. Not a great day, but a whole host of factors contributed. Still have 11 weeks till Carmel and plenty more long runs to build up. Streak is at 211 days.

Easy 3.15 miles in 27:55. Gotta keep the legs relatively fresh for the long run tomorrow -- the first outdoors in three weeks. I'm excited. Streak is at 210 days.

Squeezed in 5.31 towpath miles in 46:19 after work. Between the overcast sky, the mist and fog, and the sloshy trail, the run felt a little bit like a dream. Streak is at 209 days.

Snow has stopped but sidewalks are still impassable and roads aren't cleared wide enough to run safely, so ... another indoor track run. 5.09 miles in 42:39.
46.20 miles this week. Streak is at 205 days.

Squeezed in 3.14 miles in 26:08 on the indoor track. An outdoor run today would have been ... slow. Roads are still covered in fresh snow.

Squeezed in 4.5 outdoor miles in a very slow 43:46 (sidewalks were covered with snow, which eliminated any traction). No matter: The streak is at 200 days.

Indoor track long runs. 16.08 miles (and 176 laps) in 2:14:48. I'm exhausted, but hey, the calf feels pretty darn good.

Brutal cold means another day on the indoor track: 5.50 miles in 45:40, and I had it almost all to myself (I should always work out during Browns games). Streak is at 197 days.

The calf healed enough today to run a super easy 3.12 miles in 29:01. Gotta keep resting it and foam rolling. The steak is still alive at 195 days.

Tweaked my calf and cut short my workout after five 800s (had planned to run seven). Some pain still. Will have to evaluate daily. 5.50 miles on the treadmill in 42:55 (3:20, 3:18, 3:16, 3:16, 3:14). Streak is at 194 days.

5.01 miles on the indoor track (where everybody actually does need to stay in their lane!) in 42:04. Super cold weather coming, which means a few more indoor runs than normal. Streak is at 192 days.
