5.38 outside... but then it got a bit too dark, and I needed to potty so I headed back to the gym. Did 2 more miles of the treadmill. I did the last .50 barefoot. The temp gadge in my car said 42 when I parked at the gym but I had a very hard time getting warm, my hands hurt for the first 2 miles, then I finally felt pretty good. Anyway pretty good run.

AP 8:56

I got just a bit earlier start tonight then last night so I was able to get 6.32 in before I headed back to the gym. One more mile on the treadmill. Alot more people on the parkway tonight then last night. I was pretty much alone last night, until the end when I say one of my regulars. (guy in wheelchair w/wife) Tonight I didn't see any regulars. Got off the parkway just as the moon was rising. I only saw it for a bit before it was covered with clouds. Then I circled the temple block twice to get a bit more mileage in. Started to have tummy trouble again so headed to the gym.

I have had to flex some time at work and stay a bit later then normal... so I was on the treadmill tonight. Had one brief stop to adjust my ponytail... I hate when my hair is bugging me. Then I had a major stop at mile 4 to go potty. I think I kept my AP to about 9:00 tried to keep it easy.

I think I have figured out what might have been the contibutor to my PF trouble. I think the new shoes I bought are what is causing my problems. I'm not going to wear them for at least a week and see how my feet feel. I also hope I can take them back and exchange them for some that don't make me want to cut my feet off.

Had a horrible night trying to sleep, I don't really know what the problem was. I'm sure I will crash pretty early tonight.

I skipped out at lunch and got my run in... it was very nice. Just down the parkway path by my work. I took it easy AP 9:03.

Sue called and wants to run trails tomorrow... It will be fun and we are getting snow next week so it might be the last run in the trails this season. I'm sure we will snowshoe them later.

Ran trails with Sue this morning it was very nice, there were some icy patches on the north facing slopes and on the way back I slipped and fell. I landed on my big bottom cushion, and slammed my left elbow. Neither were really hurting too much but after about 1/4 a mile my lower back was hurting so I must have hit harder then I thought. Someone had hiked a bunch of Christmas decorations up and decorated a little pine tree, about 6 feet tall, that is just off the path. It was so fun to come running down the trail and see it. Our AP was very slow and got even slower after my fall... oh well it was still great to be up on the trails.
Busy day with the gradkids, a Christmas walk later tonight with my Mom etc.... crazy!!!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
