| I decided to run today to allow myself to sleep in on Tuesday, meaning that I will get up at around 5:30am instead of 4:00am. It was dry outside, but it was the coldest day that we have had thus far. It was in the upper 30's and of course, my nose ran the whole time. I had to slow down every mile to a walk so that I could blow my nose. I have no idea as to my time and I am approximating the distance since I did not have my garmin with me. It turns out that I forgot to plug it in last night after letting it dry. I did feel good, which these days is very important to me. |

This run was not what I would call pleasant. It was nice and cool outside, but my legs felt very heavy. Of course, I had to stop and blow my nose every mile. It took me a while to get going. I ran after work, which I haven't done in quite a while. I don't know if I was just tired in general or if my legs were tired from standing on them all day. I am going to run on Wednesday after work and see how that goes. My time was terrible. I was just happy to get through the miles before the sun went down.

| This was a very good run. I felt good and the weather was nice. I was able to get the first 8 miles in at a time of 1:20:14, which I was very happy about. This includes the fact that I still had to stop and blow my nose almost every mile. I did have a Diet Coke this afternoon, so I do not know if the caffeine had an impact or not. My weight of 112 pounds was post-run.

I ran 7 miles at the gym today. It was my typical run. I warmed up for the first mile, ran the next 5 miles at a 10:00 minute/mile pace. I finished the last mile at at about 9:50 pace, although I took it up a bit every couple of tenths of a mile.

I was disappointed that I had to run 6 miles versus 7 or 8, but I had to be at work by 7:30am for a parent/ conference meeting. I felt good throughout my run, warming up for the first mile, running 4 at a 10:00 minute/mile pace and finishing the last mile at a 9:50 pace.

| I ran today in Florida. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit friends and run with them. I was able to get my planned 14 miler in. The weather was a tad warm as it was in the 70's. I have no clue what my time was since I left my Garmin at home, but I have to admit that it felt good not to run by myself and to run on flat land. I felt good the whole way. The only issue that I had was that I still had to blow my nose fairly often. I must have some type of head cold or something. |
