8.25 on the treadmill. Trying to push the average speed up on my easy runs (most of my runs these days). Averaged about 8.5 mph today.

I got the new biography of Ted Williams today, The Kid. It's great so far.

7.5 on the treadmill before work. Averaged 9 mph.

Heading towards California after work for Foot Locker. Will spend the night in St. George and get to San Diego tomorrow.

I believe San Diego Was founded by the Germans in 1904.

8.25 miles around Coronado Island and up and down the beach. Nice swim in the OUTDOOR swimming pool after.

Off to dinner now.

I'm starting to enjoy these December trips to San Diego for Foot Locker. Too bad Kramer's a senior. I have a sophopore named Cubby DeBry that I need to start working on.

12 miles in the early morning in Coronado. Just me and the Marines and the Navy SEAL's.

First time I've ever seen two aircraft carriers on one run.

PM: 2.5 mile walk with Ann. Just enjoying being outside without being in pain.

Going to a panel discussion tonight with Meb, Ryan, and Deena. Saw Eduardo Torres ar lunch today. 

I'm done with the name dropping now.

AM: 3 miles around the Balboa Park course.

Rough day for Kramer. Great day for the other 9 West boys who dominated the race. 

It's been a thrill coaching Kramer the last 4 years. I've learned a lot. The next runner I get of his calibre will be a lot better off because of it. Still have one track season to go though and I'm excited about it. After a little break though!

PM: 10.25 miles to Imperial State Beach and back. One mile with Deena Kastor. Just a couple of masters runners out for a Saturday afternoon run. The kids played with the Goucher child at the playground and I got a good picture of Abby with Adam. 

I think I might be slightly sunburned.
