Ran the Highland Glen loop with Laureen. Even though the temperature was in the low 20's, it felt great to be outside again. About half way through the run, the sun came up and made it seems like spring. The pond was frozen and snow covered, but there were birds singing in the trees. On some of the runs this week, I'm going to take off to the west before we round the pond and push the pace for the three or four miles. I need to build back up to at least seven miles a day and then a long run on Saturday.

Ran the six mile Kohler's loop in the dark. Temperatures were in the high 20's with no wind. I felt great from the very beginning. It's been a few weeks since I felt so good during a run.

Decided to run do long run today as we have a leadership meeting tomorrow morning at nine.  Didn't feel particularly energetic, but the first seven or eight miles went by pretty easy. Started feeling a little stiffness above my right knee with an occasional twinge of pain, but it didn't get any worse and even started to fade towards the end. I felt pretty tired by the time I finished, but my joints and muscles weren't really hurting. Average pace was 8:35.

A few miles on the treadmill just to stretch things out after yesterday's run. A little stiff starting out, but everything felt fine a mile or so into it. Had to postpone run until night time. Light rain falling outside.
