I've been lazy for the past month and haven't really done much running.  I had that nasty cold in mid-December and then Christmas break got the best of me.  I just need to bundle up and go for a run.

Short run from the car to the testing center.  More miles to follow...

It was my first official run of the new year. I felt pretty good, but I could definitely feel that I hadn't run much for over a month. The pace was decent at 7:45/mile.

Played basketball for an hour on the church basketball team.  It was fun even though we lost, and I couldn't shoot worth a darn.

I haven't run since playing basketball last Thursday.  I was sore for a few days afterwards because I hadn't played in a year, and I messed up the big toe on my right foot.  The nail is all purple and red and sore.  I'm guessing that I will lose it eventually which will be a first for my big toe.  I've lost other toenails from running, but never one from basketball.  Now I remember why I never played basketball in college.  I always get all beat up and can't run.
