After staying up late the night before to watch my Jazz defeat the Bulls in a Thanksgiving night doubleheader (the game started at 10:30 pm and ended just after 1:00 pm EST), I went out for a mid-morning run. This workout consisted of two laps around Lake Montebello then up 33rd Street to Johns Hopkins University. At the University, I completed one lap around the school’s Homewood Field before heading back to Yolando Road by way of the Giant to pick up some groceries for breakfast. In total, I ran 6.8 miles at an easy, but a faster pace than previous days.

In addition, today was just another standard non-running workout in that I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

A very nice week of running on the east coast. Baltimore is a nice place to run.

Nice runs lately! Sorry I haven't been reading as much.. crunch time with master's degree! Student teaching ends on Dec. 11th. Aghhh! Last two weeks though. I can do it!

Any thoughts on winter training? I just want to run easy and build a base. is 4 x 6 mile days too ambitious? or do you still do long runs in a base building phase? Not sure what I should do!

I have Paul Milsap and Andre Kirilenko on my fantasy basketball team this year. Neither one of them are worth a hoot.

Jeff--Thanks and Baltimore is a great city to run in, especially the Inner Harbor and Fort McHenry areas. Plus, it's still pretty warm on the East coast; that is, much colder here and even colder up in Idaho Falls. Run on!

Benn--No worries; that is, before I really got back into running four years ago, I was going through the entire master's degree deal; therefore, I completely know how difficult it is to stay on top of everything this time of year (however, it's all worth it in the end). Anyways, during the winter months, I just maintain my base, but slow down the pace; that is, I do fewer interval workouts, plus it's difficult to pick up the pace with all the ice and snow. I think 4 x 6 mile days are not too ambitious, especially if you do them at a slow pace. Plus, if you are like me, you have to love running on snow-covered trails! Best of luck with the student teaching!!!

Burt--AK is always inconsistent; that is, he'll have a couple of big weeks then completely disappear. Plus, he seems to have the injury bug (i.e., he missed the game the other night against the Grizzlies). I'm a huge Millsap fan and he has the potential to really breakout depending if Boozer remains on the team throughout the season. Millsap is the Jazz future and Boozer is finally playing well again; therefore, they might be shopping Boozer so Millsap can finally get the minutes he deserves. In short, it should be an interesting season for the Jazz.

Keep up the running guys!
