.25 mile walk warm-up, .25 mile walk cool-down, 3.75 miles running on the TM while watching some lovely trashy tv (aka gossip girl).  Starting feeling it below the knee around 3, maybe that's good that it seems to keep pushing farther out when it starts to hurt.  Chiro again today, more torture.

1 mile walking, 1 mile running with speed-ups, 1 mile walking, leg stuff after the mile running.  I was just going to walk 1 since I didn't get on the TM until almost 10pm (yes, I cannot WAIT until this quarter is over...) but then I saw that it was the Biggest Loser marathon week and it was on from 9-11 instead of 8-10 so I ended up doing 3.15 while I watched.  :-)  Go Ada!  Less sleep because of it though!

Loops around the neighborhood at night in the dark with Cooper.  It started raining hard at one point and I started to question my decision to not run on the TM!  Did some nice tours of the neighborhood Christmas lights.  Pain didn't start until 3, it is slowly seeming to creep up!  I hope that means that chiro is working, went again today!

3 miles with LEANDREA in ATLANTA!  Took the red eye and surprised her for her 30th birthday. :-)  Went after Brian got home and the girls went to bed so we needed headlamps.

4 miles with LEANDREA in ATLANTA!  Hip hip hooray.  Why can't they move to Oregon or Washington?  If I thought Leandrea would actually blog or read this I would write more persuasive paragraphs about how wonderful it would be! :-)

Leg started hurting at 3.  It probably doesn't like 3 days of running in a row. I'll take tomorrow off.
