Felt really good during this run. Was able to run at a decent pace and felt very comfortable. Knee soreness is gone and everything seems to have recovered well. The only bad thing was that every time that I started to get in a good groove I would get interrupted by a car, a traffic light or something else.

I've been thinking about my plans for 2008 and am considering the San Diego Rock and Roll marathon.  Has anybody run this or any of the other RNR marathons?

Didn't feel all that great today.  I think this is typical with my marathon recovery.  One day I feel great and the next I'm wiped out.  Will probably continue with general aerobic runs for a couple of weeks then start throwing in some workouts.

I am now officially old.  I just happened to be running by Viewmont High while the kids were driving to school.  I couldn't believe the way these kids drive.  I never thought that I would say something like that.  Next thing you know I will be yelling at kids to stay off my lawn.

Started out as a prefect day for a run.  Temperatures were cool and the air was clean from the evening's storms.  I decided to run up to Davis Blvd. because I love the smell of the canyon after it rains.  Things quickly turned ugly about 6 miles into the run.  The wind picked up, it started to rain then turned to hail.  Once the lightening started I was getting worried.  I couldn't decide if I should head for cover or get home as quickly as possible.  The wind propelled hail hitting my face was painful and my feet were soaking wet from sloshing through the puddles. Finally made it home soaking wet, freezing and I loved every minute of it.

Felt alright.  I'm a little worn out because work is a little hectic right now but nothing major.  Waited to go out until the heavy rain stopped.  I had enough of that yesterday.  Temperatures felt good and it was a nice fall run.

What a lousy run.  My knee was bothering me this morning and I was short on time so I didn't plan on running very many miles this morning.  I thought that I would be able to run at a decent pace.  I just couldn't get going this morning.  It could have been the wind or the fact that I was overdressed because it was warmer than expected.  For whatever reason, I had no energy.

I actually slept in this morning.  I can't remember the last time that I slept past 7:00 a.m.  It would have been much better if I would have gotten out the door early because it started raining very hard as I was heading out the door.  Ran in a steady cold rain for the entire run.  I felt alright physically once I warmed up but my pace was slower than the perceived effort.  Didn't run as many miles this week as I had planned so I will probably go for a short run tomorrow.

Total Time: 1:27:00 (7:46/mile) - Guessed on the time because my Garmin died towards the end of the run.
