Seeking a better country...

7:00 a.m.  4 miles, 38 minutes.  Soooo sluggish.  Maybe I should have eaten before running.  Crocs make holes in my socks faster than my shoes.  I think it's because crocs have so many teeth for tearing through the flesh of their prey.

8:00 p.m.  I felt I needed to redeem the morning run, so I hopped on the TM again for 4 miles.  This time I came at 34 minutes...still slow.

9 p.m.  Treadmill 10k.  54 minutes, maybe 53.  I don't know.  One of the kids came home from school and turned on the gas fireplace, so it was a balmy 73 degrees in the normally cooler basement.  I was wayyyy too hot.  (That's what she said)  I had to say that since I watched The Office.

7 am.  TM 10k.  50 minutes.  7-8-7-9-7.5, or something like that.  That one 9 mph mile felt speedy.  Jack kept trying to get on with me, the little scalawag.

Last weeks Saturday run on Legacy was so nice, I thought I'd do it again.  7:30, Pages Lane Trailhead, 10-14 miles, easy pace.  Come one, come all.

8pm.  I knew I didn't want to get up in the morning on Friday so I went for a while tonight.  1.5 on the TM.  It was way too hot, so I finished outside, hoping to run through the enchanted Christmas light forest.  But it wasn't foggy, and lots of homes are sans lights.  Headwind out, which was quite cold, then a pleasant return.  I had a chocolate shake when I got home, which made me so cold I had to chase it with hot chocolate.  Then I fell asleep on the couch, and slept there until 5 a.m.  

7:30 am  Another good run with Andy.  I love how spare the views are along Legacy.  We avoided much wind and kept dry, aside from perspiration.  My first couple miles were anything but;  things improved once I got warmed up.  I noticed the hard ride with the Kinvaras again, but my other shoes still haven't turned up.  It's vexing, because they are at that perfect stage for shoes where they are perfectly formed to my feet, but still have cushioning.
