Personal:

Married, living in LA - great running weather most of the time, lots of racing options.  Tried to BQ in October, 2011 but failed miserably (DNF) in the 80 degree heat and with a head cold..I'll give it another shot at some point, but not for a while.  In May my baby son will be old enough to join me for a run with his jogging stroller, can't wait!

After a few days in the cold weather, back to sunny LA!  Right?  What, it's been pouring rain for the last week?  Hmm.  

It finally slowed to a drizzle a little after I got home from work so I hit the road...it got nice and heavy for a couple of miles but pretty much stopped during the second half of the run.  With temps in the mid to high 50's it wasn't uncomfortable so I took advantage of getting a workout in while everyone else was inside.  Didn't go particularly fast, with a 7:41 pace but it was good to get the miles in.  Next three days are vital to meet my yearly goal...

7:13 overall pace - felt much better than yesterday, when my lower legs were tight and my stomach didn't feel too good.  Both were fixed today, so I added a .54 mile stretch of speedwork (3:24) in the middle of the run.  Finished strong with a 6:48 final mile.

Annual Christmas Eve run around the neighborhood with my wife..she's a runner too, but we're in different categories.  Paced around 11 minutes/mile, which is my first run slower than 8 minutes/mile since last Christmas Eve.  Not every run is about speed :)

Slogged through a Christmas morning run, just had no energy at all.  Probably a combination of last night's wine and running for the fourth straight day, whatever it was made it a very difficult outing.  Somehow stayed at a consistent 7:30/mile pace, but I was mostly just happy when it was over.
