Went for just a short 4 mile easy jog today.  I was hoping that we might actually get through this winter for once without having the usual inversion soup.

PM-6 mile easy jog. 1 with Aaron and the rest on my own. Light rain finally moved in today and flushed a lot of the gunk out of the air. In addition it felt rather balmy being in the low 40s as compared to our temps recently.  All in all it just made for a nice trip outside.

AM-5 miles t-mill (35:52) 1% incline.  Fitness is progressing slowly but steadily with the training heart rate coming down over time.

Working on some PHP programming lately also which is coming along fairly well. Still a ton to learn but if I can self educate myself to restore antique radio and TV I can do this also. The goal is to get proficient enough to be able to land a programming job sometime down the road.

PM-5 miles easy 7-7:30/mi at lunch time.

AM-7 miles easy. No watch. Shorts again today!

PM-5 miles lunchtime. 7-7:14/mi pace. I think I have finally figured out what is going on with my second run of the day..  I'm simply not taking in enough carbs. Simple but sometimes overlooked. 

One more thing I thought i should add.. My best days running are perhaps over. That I realise.. However, this is the first time in a few years I've been able to run continously injury/pain free in some time. That being said I'm going to take advantage of it allbeit hopefully with more wisdom this time. IE-Building up a strong base first and then and only then incorporating vo2 type workouts etc. Studying Lydiard, John Kellogg etc for guidance.
