11.5 mile loop. left at 5:51 am. got back at 7:36 and was only 10 min late to work instead of the 18 min i was late the day before :)

there is currently an ice storm overhead so running outside in the morning may be impossible. may try to do exercise bike in the morning, who knows...

when i was putting on my work boots this morning i happened to touch the top of my foot between where the bones intersect of the big toe and the next one over on my left foot. i would be more worried that it was a stress fracture but this has happened before about 6 months ago or so. A day off from running is probably a good thing though.

 just signed up for the north face endurance challenge 50 mile race in Bear Mtn, New York in May!

Im finally back updating my log. Though I don't have much to say so I keep it short. At least you can compare our training again if you want. Ive been running in the morning alone without problem so far and in a few more days jamie will be back to give me some company (the little that he provides). He is a pretty silent guy. A little like bruce denton from once a runner I guess.
