Wasn't feeling that great today (but the times are okay) so cut the run to 7. Went to a pro roper's yesterday for a full day of roping instruction so I think I was just tired.

| Same run as yesterday but hotter. A little more effort to bring the pace down a couple of seconds per mile. Temps drop tonight and we'll have 30's & 40's for my morning runs for the next few days! (But also supposed to be wet.)
72 degrees (in December!), 87% Humidity, Dew Point 68, Wt Beginning 155 - Ending 152.

| Just another 7.25 but with an 8:30 target and low HR run. Feeling a bit tired and not confident to jump up to some double diget miles after my 16 mile fail the other day. Finally got some cool weather but it was aweful windy! 57 Degrees, 90% Humidity, Dew Point 54, 25 MPH wind.

| Ran the small loop today. I sent my Garmin in to have a new battery and the buzzer fixed so I'll be running naked for a few days. Best I could tell it was about an 8 minute place. Weather was great at 43 degrees, 60% humidity and 30 degree dewpoint. |

| In Abilene Texas doing some business. Don't have my Garmin so I'm running by time. Ran 1 hour. At the pace and effort this equates to at least 7 miles. Ran a consistent hard effort on the entire run. Great weather at 40 degree, 53% humidity, and 24 degree dewpoint. |

| Got bit by a dog today!!! Running my normal 10 mile route this morning and a big bulldog runs out from a house chasing me. I scream at him but he keeps coming! I try to dodge him but he jumps, catches and bites me on my thigh through my tights bringing blood. I turn, punch and kick at him and he finally backs off growling but I finally get away! What should I do? (I have a gun and I'm not afraid to use it!) 10 @ 8 minute pace, 50 degrees. |

| I know the distance but have no clue about the pace. Still running without my Garmin. I do know I ran fast a little and slow a lot. It was very cold (32 degrees) when I started. The dog bite is a litrle sore and is bruised all on the side of my thigh. |

| 4 Miles again, out and back. Medium pace. Still running naked without my Garmin. 6 weeks into my marathon training, 43 miles this week. Need to decide which marathon to run (Ft Worth Cowtown or the Woodlands).

| Ran the small loop 2X to make 14 miles. Still don't have my Garmin back from repairs but overall this run was a sub 8:00 average pace. 48 Degrees, 99% Humidity/Foggy, 46 Degree Dew Point.
I really wasn't motivated to get out and do this run but after finishing I was happy with the results. This is the longest run for the coming week and I'm glad it's done.

| Wrenched my back yesterday and had to skip my run. Today it is still very tight but I ran anyway. Only did 7 easy (8:40 pace). Was suppose to do 14. Ahhhh... hope this back thing goes away quickly! |

Took a day off yesterday since my back was so sore, but it's a little better today so I forced myself to do the long run. As I warmed up the back loosened up. Missed my 10 mile run last week so was a little behind on total miles. This run was fair but on the scale an 8 when it should be a 6. Got to get my confindence up for these longer runs. Funny how it seems so impossible to run 26 at even a faster pace while in training at this point. :-)
My weight keeps going down, now it's at 151. This was a comfortable weatherwise running day for me at 62-67 degrees.

| Callie is home for a couple of weeks so I got .to run with her. I really enjoy runnning with someone (especially her) as I never run with anyone else. It reminds me why I started and like to run. She got me to start running 7 years ago. I told her today she probably added 10 years to my life! I'm greatful to her for that. Wer're working on our ultimate "Bucket List" thing to do and that is to run Boston together. Hopefully we both will qualify in '18 and run it in '19 together!
This was an easy low HR recovery run for me. Nice cool, foggy, drizzling, 46 degree weather.

Blustery day of running with a wind chill of 32 degrees. 18 MPH wind and 40 Degrees, 87% Humidity, 34 Degree Dewpoint. You guys from the north are probably laughing at us but we were COLD!!! 7.7 miles with Callie to make her 1100 miles for the year. Not so many for me. :-(
