| Went to SHS for a midnight fish, only to find the gates locked (probably a good idea in retrospect). So I drove home, put the car up and went to run three laps around the mall. Incredibly boring (and ridiculously windy), but the first five miles of 2012 are in the book. Took nearly an hour to do them, thanks to very stiff legs from Saturday morning's 20-miler, but they're done. |

| 106 laps at MAFC after work. Actually managed to keep the HR down pretty well; I let it drift up to AHR 122 in the final mile. Pace was around 10:00 once I settled in. With 41 hours since the last run, I'd had decent recovery time, even though that run was yesterday. Now the trick will be to have an OK run at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Hopefully this didn't take much out of me and I can knock out another 8 or 9 miles. If I can run 5/6 of the time (305 runs) and average something over 8, that'll get me to my 2012 mileage goal -- and hopefully to a PR or two along the way. |

| Balmy 24 degrees this morning, so broke out the tights. Tried to push the pace a little more, and succeeded (last few miles were down around 9:10 pace), but ther AHR was still only 128. |

| Legs pretty heavy this morning, so kept it slow. Even with that, AHR virtually identical to yesterday's much-quicker run. Really felt it on the hills, like coming up Rogers from Creekmore Park, or up Duncan toward the Casa. Temp was about 34 at the start, and I felt fine in shorts. Actually, probably a little overdressed with long-sleeved tech shirt, fleece headband and gloves. Also probably would have helped if I'd had something other than coffee for breakfast. Hoping work is less hectic than yesterday. After a slow start, it got really crazy around 4:00 and stayed that way until 9:30. |

| Took the morning off, ran after work instead at MAFC. Just kept slogging, wound up with 133 laps in 99 minutes plus. Haven't downloaded the Garmin yet, but I'm pretty sure I kept the AHR to 125 or so. I'm also pretty sure I've lost my lap clicker, which irritates me. I know where to get another one, but it still irritates me. I used the Garmin tonight to help me keep track, on the basis that four laps at the pace I was going roughly equaled three minutes (I was very slightly quicker than that, but never got more than a minute ahead of that pattern). Figured out what I need to average per month to get to my mileage goal. The 31-day months, I need 221 miles; 214 in the 30-day months; and 207 in February. Of course, any months I can exceed that will be banked against the inevitable niggles/illness/schedule conflicts that seem to take me out of a run at least one day a week on average. It's gonna take consistency, some luck with my health, and pure-dee OCD to get there. Let's see if I can pull it off. It's 12:07 a.m., I've been home from work for less than 15 minutes, and it's time for bed. Night. |

| Seven this morning after 10 last night. Took probably 2.5 miles to get loose, but as I did, the HR came down and so did the pace. Still wound up with a 10:05 average, but that's OK. Not a bad run coming less than 10 hours after the last one. Cotton Bowl tonight, which will probably keep me up late, so I may wait to do 10+ until Sunday morning. Six-plus will get me over 50, which is a decent mileage for a work week. |
