My original plan had been to try for 4.0 miles today but the wind and hills took it out of me quickly. My right hip is still aching nearly 45 minutes after finishing the run.
Today's splits ---

I really need to focus some effort on dropping some weight. There is about 10lbs that I need to get rid of before I can run much harder.
With 4 days left in Nike+ Spring Training Challenge, I am in the 30th slot today. If I can finish in the top 40 I will be on the Chicago Cubs running team all summer as fans collect miles for their favorite teams.

The run was a bit easier today as the wind was not so fierce. I felt a little bit like I was running on dead legs today so there were a few more stops than usual.

That last 0.60 mi was actually done in 3x0.20 mile intervals before I got frustrated and stopped for the day.

| | Since the wind was blowing so hard from the south I had to stay on an east-west path to cover the miles today. I went up to the high school and ran on Gore Blvd until Kristoffer's choir returned from their competition.

Refuge for today's run. This marks the longest run I have accomplished
since coming back from the ITB problem.

Sadly this guarantees I will spend part of the weekend in front of the laptop.
Oh, I officially made the Chicago Cubs Nike+ running team. I and the
other 39 Chicago Cubs runners will now be accumulating miles towards
beating out the other clubs representing the National League Central
teams. Go Cubbies!

| | Scheduled rest day so no miles to report.
Did walk quite a bit as Kristoffer and I had a busy day. Tomorrow will be a walk-filled day as I traverse the airports during my trip to Orlando.
See you in Florida!
