Ok first day back after my Sunday day of rest.  Felt good to get back out pounding the pavement.  Although I could feel the tightness in my legs for most of the run.  I split my 6 miles up today, 3 miles in the morning...woke up late :-(  and 3 miles at the gym during lunch.  The weather has started to act normal as it has began to actually get cold.. imagine that in December?  When I have my gloves on, skull cap and enough layers the temperature does not bother me, although I do feel like a penguin or something waddling!!  I am NOT complaining however, I have read some other blogs and up north they are running in snow... so we are no where near that! :-)

The morning run was ok but the lunch run felt great.  About what I expected after taking a day off!

Other notes:

Gym: Did upper body - 2 set of 10 with 225lbs, 1 set of 7 with 245lbs, 1 set of 3 with 265lbs... then a host of other chest exercises.

Food: Breakfast - Oatmeal, Coffee, Grapefruit  Mid-morning Protein shake, Lunch protein bar, mid day protein shake, lunch rice/sausage combo, cake, cookies, ice-cream.
