Easy run by myself. Mark is in Texas for the week so my Monday morning run was just boring and a little demotivating. No big deal.

All I remember is that this was a lot warmer than the last couple of days and it felt really nice.

Trying to stay disciplined and ramp the volume and keep the pace slow. I'm not in a hurry. I just need to get the miles back and stay healthy.

Today makes my 5th 8 miler for the week. Good come back from the last two weeks. I've still got a ways to go but I'm on my way back.

More importantly, today I got to run with Mia. It was a beautiful run and we just took our time and enjoyed the morning. I don't get much daddy-daughter time these days so it was such a great way to start the day. Mia & her sister are leaving today for a college student conference in Atlanta. Mia is traveling back to school after the conference so I won't get to see her until spring break. Man, I already miss her. I'm glad we got some time together.

What a great way to start a new year. I got to sleep in till after 6:00 am and then met Keith B. at Starkey Park. We went out on the trails and just kept running. It was a beautiful day, perfect temp, and great company. I've forgotten how much I enjoyed running off road. What a pleasure. So much to see. So much harder in some ways and so much easier in others.

Happy New Year.
