Progression run tonight, after work and before the Christmas party. Quite chilly and very windy, which encouraged me to go faster, so it became a progression run. Probably ran the last mile at MP and the last 0.11 at about 10K pace. It was four laps around the Ben Geren trail.
Since my last run, the divorce is now final. Surprised at my response to the news -- none. Pam might as well have told me she went to the grocery for a loaf of bread. The limbo is over, and I can get on with my life, and with looking for someone to share it with in some form or fashion (not necessarily marriage). |

| Struggle today. Leg started hurting immediately when I started. Tried stretching, which didn't help much. Finally gave up and walked/limped until the last half mile, when it felt good enough to resume a jog. But it hurt. Bad. No clue it was goping to happen, either; the leg had not hurt all day, until I started running. Concerning, to put it mildly. |

Drove over to the stadium at Southside to try their track. First to see if it were open, second to see if it's accessible to the public, and three to test out the leg. Figured that if I had big problems, I'd be no more than 250 yards from the car.
So I get out and start running laps. Only other person out there is an SHS pole vaulter, messing around with his pole at the vaulting pit. Leg started hurting pretty quickly. Decided to keep going and see what happened. It didn't get any worse, and I decided I could tolerate that level of pain. First I was gonna run 3, then 4, then 5, finally decided to do a 10k. And somewhere between 4 and 5 miles, I realized the left leg didn't hurt any more. So then I started pushing the pace a bit. Ran the sixth mile at something approximating MP, and the last lap at about 10K pace. Then I jogged three laps of cooldown to complete 7 miles. All in all, not a bad run; glad I decided to HTFU and push through it.
Time for the 10K, by the way, was about 55 minutes. Not super speedy, but considering I limped through the first 4.5 miles, not too bad. |

| Three days off with a chest cold. Breathing better today, but run cut short by the leg pain. Very frustrating -- just keeps coming and going. Today was a bad day. Shut it down after one lap at Ben Geren. Good thing I didn't do the whole golf course loop. Maybe it will be better tomorrow. |
