PM - busy workday (and week) - was able to escape for a quick 8.5 miles on the treadmill - but probably won't get an opportunity for a second run this evening with work related events tonight.

AM - 5 untimed miles on a comfortably cool morning.  Had to attend a work related dinner last evening and another one today after meetings this afternoon - will try to get a run in at lunch too.  Wife asked if I was losing weight this morning - said I looked too skinny - would like me more if I was a little pudgy. Heh... 

 

PM - was able to squeeze in a little over 6 miles at lunch before heading into meetings.  First couple of miles were a bit ragged.  I still am waiting to find my training groove.  Seems that the majority of runs right now are not that comfortable or enjoyable and I just don't feel quite right - Chalking it up to a bit of a down month of training in December followed by the calf injury at the beginning of January- requiring me to essentially re-start my base training; becoming a bit too impatient to get past the first few crappy weeks of it.

PM - in offsite work meetings at the Vinoy in downtown St. Pete.  Finished up around 4:30 and Richie met me for a run along the water and into Snell Isle.  Ran about 6 miles or so, but that was his limit.  So I stopped at the gym on the way to my bible study, and did a few more miles on the treadmill before showering and heading out.  Nice afternoon/evening for a run - weather has been very nice.

AM - 3 easy miles with Riley this morning - very early.  Noticing some fatigue from the quick mileage build-up - some slight tenderness on the top of the left foot.  Will keep an eye on it.

 

PM - suprisingly good run on the treadmill - 7 miles at just under 7 min pace.  Felt very good and HR was well under control.  Go figure.

PM - got in a very easy 15 miles this afternoon.  Felt very relaxed and consciously kept the pace aerobic.  Good run.
