A.M. - Canal Banks - 20:09

Didn't have much time to run before breakfast, but I just wanted to get out on the fresh snow and in the sun. Couldn't run very fast, but it was great to get out.

P.M. - Leg speed/hill + run to the gym - 38:06

I did about a mile steady, then did 4 x 20-25 second hard strides with a jog back recovery. Then jogged to Aurora hill and did 4 sets of (20-25 second hill climb, jog back down to the flat and do 20-25 seconds hard). The whole thing took about 15 minutes, then I ran to the gym where I worked out for 20 minutes, doing the following: 

-Stretching

-Core: 2 x 25 crunches, 2 x 35 second planks

-Drills: 2 x butt-kicks; 2 x lunges; 2 x A-skip; 2 x high knees (all done on the basketball court)

-Weights: 2 x 15 bench press; 2 x 15 lat pulldown; 2 x 15 calf raises
