A clydesdale no more!

Feeling a little better.  I am pretty comfortable at 8:00/mile pace but once I go under that I can start to feel it in my lungs.  I'm going to take it easy until I'm feeling 100%.

A little better each day.  Not quite there yet but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was tempted to run by the site of last night's refinery explosion because all of the news crews were there and I wanted to show off my "new guns" (I hope you all realize that I'm joking when I talk about my bulging biceps).

I thought that snow on the LPT would be melted so I thought I would give it a shot for a change in scenery.  The section that I ran on was not cleared and had some very slippery sections.  I jumped off the trail and ran on the road for a few miles but was wearing dark clothing so it probably wasn't much safer.  I'm just about over the cold and am feeling a lot better.

Felt a little sluggish this morning.  I ran the same mileage as yesterday, it took 1 second longer and my average heart rate was exactly the same.  How's that for consistency?

Repeat performance of the past 2 days.  It felt faster than yesterday so I was surprised to see that the overall time was only 30 seconds faster.  I'm taking the kids to San Diego tomorrow morning.  The weather will be perfect for running but I doubt that I will have the opportunity to run.  I guess I will just enjoy the down time and hope that the few days off will take care of my lingering aches and pains.
