AM:

8.3 miles

It was colder than I had planned on but after a couple of miles the shivering subsided.

Felt relaxed and will not push  the pace for the next 2 months as I work on building a strong aerobic base.

Average pace 7:11

PM:

4.2 miles

No watch, nice and easy.  Feels good just enjoying the run and not worrying about pace

Fell asleep too late to wake up for the JRP trail run.  I'm a wuss. 

Managed to get out later in the day. 

Average pace 7:11, same as yesterday.

Last half mile was no fun.  Probably the slowest 2.5 miles I've ever wogged.

40 minutes stationary bike

No foot pain on the bike, why didn't I start riding earlier this week?

Went out on a wog to test my foot.  Only made it a mile before the pain started. 

Bought the Perfect Pushup after reading about Jake's exploits. Did a few and am pleased with my purchase.  A rare occurrence.

70 minutes on the stationary bike.

Just finished The Iron War by Matt Fitzgerald.  Awesome book about the 1989 ironman. Highly recommended for anyone that enjoys endurance sports.  Fitzgerald includes info on several studies pertinent to endurance athletes.

2 painless miles.  Plan is to repeat this run 4 more times this week and keep riding the bike.

Next week hopefully I'm good to go.

Feel like I'm just getting warmed up then it's time to quit.  Foot still feels good but I'm going to error on being optimistic for this week and hope it'll fully heal.

PM

Ran after work and enjoyed the cooler weather.  Nice to see some blue skies.  Happy there was no foot pain. 

A couple of girls, I'm guessing high school age saw me about a mile into my jog and decided to drive next to me for about a quarter mile and ask me random questions:

-Where do you go to school?

I don't.

-Why are you running in the cold?

I enjoy it.

-Do you run lots?

Define lots.

-Do you have a girlfriend?

I'm 27. 

They drove away at this point.

I think my inability to grow facial hair makes me look much younger than I am.

Same route as yesterday.  No excitement. 

Looking forward to some time with my family and good meals this weekend.

Felt really good today.  Was 36 degrees when I ran so I decided to forego the tights and blind the Christmas shoppers with my pasty legs.

Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas bloggers!

Another warm day.  I saw a shirtless runner, pretty crazy for December 30th.

5 easy miles, keeping the runs relatively short still.

 

Night trot 5k loop, wanted to repeat the loop but thought better of it.  Must be patient and let my foot fully heal.

Ran with my little bro. 

He was pushing the pace but I had to drop him at the end cause that's what big brothers do when they can.
