AM-6 mile recovery run this morning. Started out at a nice easy pace and worked up to 6:30ish pace for the last three miles. Out towards the JRT and back up to home. Kind of freakish how I experienced three different temp shifts on the way out. First it felt like 40+ then 20 or so then back to mid 40s and it's really not that much of an elevation change-200 ft total maybe.

PM1-8 miles on my lunch hour. No time but somewhere around 6:30 pace. Toweled off, changed real quick and went back to work outside. Feels good to run at this time of day as I feel re-energized going back to work. Tough to eat on the go however. PB@J with an orange and apple. Made a huge difference going into my next run instead wolfing down a convienience store burrito. Less fallout afterwards too!

PM2-6 miles on the treadmill at 7-7:30/mi. 65-70% mhr. Felt good but I was really hungry afterwards. Weighed in at 136 lbs. Yikes! and I'm 6'2! Alan Culpepper is the same height and weight to give you an idea so that may not be a bad thing.

Your doing great Steve, Definitely not slacking off for the winter. I have been trying to get back on track. The malaise has hit me...

Wow you are awesome!! You give me no reason to make excuses at all! How do you manage the time to get all these runs in? You obviously are in elite condition especially if 136. I am 166 and the same height as you and definitely not as muscular. I got a ways to go I suppose. I'm looking forward to a 10/08 shattering my 4:26 marathon PR by an hour or more. What are in your sights lately?

Steve, you have really had some awesome days running the last few weeks. Will the dark horse soon return at a race?

I may pop up somewhere local for a Jingle run 5k of some sort but no marathons until Spring though. Thanks for your comments.
