Well, according to Mr. Garmin, the loop I usually run is 2.95 miles. It's nice to know that GoogleEarth is accurate up to the hundredth of a mile. I have to trust that Garmin is completely and one hundred percent accurate up to twelve decimal places. I have to. | |

This was the first time I got to work faster than I got home. I haven't rode in forever. I'm not used to it now, and I was exhausted when I got home. | |

Oh my gosh I'm getting so fat. Don't tell Marion.
Tonight's run was horrible. I was pushing as hard as I could, but my pace was way off. I think because my legs were so sore from all the biking I did yesterday. I'm sure it also has to do with not running forever and my horrible diet.
Time: 25:30 (avg. pace 8:39) | |

30 minutes on the stationary bike.
This morning my wife made her famous sausage and biscuits. That was the last meal before the start of my New Year's diet. | |

I felt oh so much better than I did two nights ago. My legs felt fresh for the first mile and a half. The only thing that was lacking was my wind. But when that comes back, I should be running better than ever seeings how this is tied for my second fastest pace on this loop. | |

I'm not sure why it was four degrees cooler at 9:30 in the morning than it was at 10:30 last night, but it was definitely noticeable. I'm trying to simulate a Ragnar race by running on a Friday night, Sat. morning, and Sat. evening. We'll see how it goes this week with just running 3 miles each time. Next weekend I'll increase the mileage.
