14 miles on the Los Angeles beaches.  Perfect day to run!  5:30 mile repeats with 7 in betweens.  From Balboa through Venice beach up around the Santa Monica pier.  Every time I'm here I wish I could move here and live...

Tried to run outside, still can't get used to the cold!  So I went to Sports Acaemy and hit the treadmill for the race pace workout.  I can barely stand the stinking treadmill.  This isn't what running is about!  Best tempo run in a while though, maybe the miles are making a slow difference.  10@5:30 

P90X with Nathan evening for an hour.  Crap..

20 miles on the beaches of Orange County.  Sometimes it seems like there is nothing that a long run can't work out in your head.  What an awesome day for a run.

14 miles Fartlek/pickups Christmas morning out of the Chicago hotel to Lake Michigan, another rainy long run.  I think I'm the only loser out here and not the best neighborhoods either.  At least I got to talk to Janiel and the kids this morning!
