Canals + BK Track - 29:22
Snow day today! Only the 2nd or 3rd in my 11 year education career.
Today I ran mostly on the BK track, which had been semi-plowed. I did 8-10 100m pickups during the run. |

South loop - 49+
Did a progression run this afternoon. The roads were somewhat clear so running was a little easier than it's been the past week. Miles were 7:35, 7:12, 7:02, 6:37, 6:34 and 6:11. Last mile was a cool down. I did not feel fit, that is for sure. It was super to get outside, though, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
After an average of 22 mpw the last 8 weeks, I am ready to get back into some better running here soon. |

Treadmill at Gold's - 42:50
Did a fartlek on the treadmill. 5-4-3-2-2-1 minutes on with the recovery = next workload. Started at 6:15/mile pace and worked down to 5:35/mile pace. Recoveries at about 7:45-50/mile pace. Felt ok - pretty easy workout. |

Canal banks + BK track - 47+
Great to be outside. Muddy, slushy, snowy on the canals but the BK track was fine. Overall pace in the 7:20s. |

Shuffled along 10 minutes with Leo then finished with 13 minutes with Emily and Nica (stroller). To call it jogging would be a disservice to joggers everywhere. |

Run to St. Als - 20+
Ran to pick up my car. Nice to be outside this evening.
The rest of the month will consist of 20-30 minute runs as many times a week as I can. Then we'll see what January holds. |

Mission Bay Path - 40+
In San Diego. Took a walk with Emily and Nica and saw so many runners I just felt like going back and running there. Ran pretty hard for my fitness level. Started out along the bay and came back by the ocean.
Sea World in the afternoon. |

Morning jog with Nica and Emily. What a way to start the day. Post run hit the Starbucks and then back to the hotel for some breakfast.
Also some weights and exercise bike in the fitness room.
All afternoon at San Diego Zoo. |

Mission Bay Path - 1:00
Did 15 minutes on the treadmill waiting for Emily and Nica. Then we hit the hot tub and I followed that with 45 minutes on the ocean front path and the beach. Misty and rainy but a fabulous run.

With Emily and Nica. Ran really slowly except for a bunch of pickups (20 seconds - 1 minute) interspersed in the run. Cold out. |

Run to the airport+ - 38+
Did 12 minutes with Nica and Emily, then ran to the airport to pick up mom and dad's car. Felt really, really out of shape this morning, but it was nice to move around Christmas morning before the eating and relaxing all day. |

Greenbelt - NT
Memorial run for Jeremy. We had the whole crew: Mat, Spencer, Horse, Dan, Brad, Matt Steuart, Rebecca, Travis, Rocco and Chanda.
Pouring rain and chilly. Lots of stops to talk and tell stories. It was a special run and I'm glad we were able to put it together. |

From Mat's house with his running group. Ran with Spencer and Rebecca the whole way. Averaged in the 8:30's. Nice to spend time with both of them. |
