Other than a little lingering congestion, I feel good.  Ran the Davis Blvd loop with a good amount of climbing during the first 3 miles.  I was able to hold a little faster pace than I normally do on this route.  It was warmer than I expected so I was a little over dressed.

After reading the blog this morning and realizing how many people ran yesterday, I really felt like a slacker. After the kids opened their presents yesterday, I looked out the window and it was really beautiful with all of the fresh snow. I was really itching to go running but couldn't pull myself away from Guitar Hero III.

Today, I felt really good after I got warmed up. I was lazy through the first 3 miles but then was able to push a little harder the last 6. Averaged 7:05/mile for the last six mile and the pace felt very comfortable. I guess the decreased mileage over the past couple of weeks has made running a quicker pace easier.

I just realized that I put yesterday's run on the wrong day (oops).  My stress level was way too high today to get in a decent run.  Planned on 9 miles but knew very early on that it would only be 7.  Physically, I am experiencing a little knee pain which I think is due to a combination of old shoes and the cold weather.

It was cold and I could never really get going.  My hamstrings were tight and my stride did not feel very smooth.  The good news is that I finally found a pair of gloves that keep my fingers warm.

Missed the club run this morning because I decided to sleep an extra hour since we went to a movie last night and stayed out until midnight.  I originally planned to go 14 or 15 miles this morning but I really wasn't feeling well.  I felt hypoglycemic from the start of the run.  I never could get into a groove and felt sloppy most of the run.  To top things off, my shoes are worn out and I can feel it in my knees and ITB.  During the run a dog that looked just like the dogs in I Am Legend (the movie I saw last night) started charging after me pretty aggressively.  I stopped and turned towards it and it backed off but it freaked me out at first.
