First run of December.  How did that happen?  I have been going to the gym and walked 6,000 miles in Disneyland so that should count for something.  I've been using every excuse that I used to ignore (too cold, bad air, etc.) so apparently I am getting soft in my old age.  Convinced myself at the last minute to pack clothes so I could run on the treadmill at the gym at work.  Started at 7:30/mile and gradually sped up to low 7's.  Felt pretty good during the run although my legs have felt a little off the rest of the day.  Not sure if it is from shock of actually running or getting used to the treadmill.

I have been so sick the last 2 weeks.  Finally had enough energy to go out for a run.  Felt like an elephant was standing on my chest but was happy that I was able to get out.

Just a quick little run with Becky in between Christmas activities.

Five miles on the treadmill at work.  First 2 miles at 8:00/mile, next 2 at 7:30/mile and last mile at 6:40 with 1.5% grade the entire time.  Last mile was tougher than it should have been but understandable considering how little I have run this month.

It took until 1 pm before I could convince myself to head out for a run. Kept the pace super slow and just plugged away. Trying to build back up slowly.

Treadmill run at work.  Really had to fight the boredom today.  Becky and I are running the beat the new year 5k at Sugarhouse tonight so I convinced myself 4 miles was fine for today.  Anxious to finish the run so I bumped the speed up to 9 mph, then 10 mph and finished at 11 mph.

PM

Finished off my lowest mileage year by running the beat the new year 5k at Sugarhouse park with Becky.  We at too much before the run so we took it super easy.  I felt fine but Becky felt like she had to puke the entire time.
