Definitely nice enough to head outside this morning, and the daylight at 6:30 was really nice to wake up to. But I wanted to watch football highlights so I hit the YMCA treadmill for four miles. They felt great and it was good to get the week started with a run -- even if ESPN played Vikes-Packers highlights for 25 of the 31 minutes I was running. Enough already, another NFC North team won this weekend, you know?

Beautiful sunny (election) day. Since I'll be at the office until midnight, I cut out for a mid-day run. Maybe 65 outside and sunny, perfect fall day. Did the 11th/Shore Drive loop, hadn't run my home course in awhile. My legs were a little stiff and I had a sideache, but I scaled back my pace and eventually relaxed some. 36:10

Flying to  Corpus Christi, Texas for the rest of the week. So more sunny running. Anyone (any of the three of you) know a route down there?

I was in Corpus Christi, Texas for work meetings a few days this week. The one, and maybe only, good thing about Corpus Christi was the running trail downtown. Wednesday morning I spent an hour right along the Gulf of Mexico, running at a nice brisk pace while the warm morning sun came up over the sea's horizon. They have a great paved trail that runs along marinas, beaches and parks; absolutely beautiful way to start the day. I went out about three miles, then left the trail and explored back through the city to my hotel downtown. The second half of the run, nowhere near as pretty. The city center has deteriorated into nothing, it's pretty bleak in places. But that trail...  48:36

Morning Beach Drive run with Mike and Henry, weather wasn't great but could have been worse (and now, in fact, it is). Windy, but the rain held off until a little drizzle at the end. We got to talking and really pushed the pace, two miles sub-7. But everything felt fine, and it was a nice cap to my best week in awhile. Started my watch late, but around 50 minutes.
