5.75, hard, no pain. Very nice development after a whole lot of limping around. Pushed the pace all the way to MP -- still no sciatica. The right butt twinge was there, and the abs were a little sore from the core work, but no burning pain on the left side. Very pleased with that, also pleased I was able to do such a good run after missing 13 days of running so far this month.

Four laps around the mall in the mist after work. Didn't quite make it a Christmas run, as I finished at 11:35ish. Calf twinged just a bit in the first mile, nothing after that. Butt niggle still there, but less bothersome than last night, much less last summer. Had only planned three laps, but felt good enough to stretch it out to four. All in all, very pleased with the resumption of my training. Hope I can stay healthy enough to get plenty of it done. Also took my new BQ shirt for its first run.

Pam and T came by for brunch this AM at IHOP, since that was about the only thing open. Then they came by the house so she could get a Max fix. Surprised he didn't become an issue in the divorce; might just be because her landlord won't allow pets, or she just doesn't want to mess with cat care, litter boxes, etc. I'm glad the old stupid gato is here with me, though. I need the companionship.
