AM run with Kim in the chilly but thankfully not windy morning air. Actually was a nice morning as far as January mornings go. We met up with some of the SF/Scenic gang and ran with them for a bit. I plan on doing some more at work later. Tried some of Brent's suggested hamstring ball exercises. Felt pretty uncoordinated but I do think it could be helpful for the tendon-bumitis so I might do these a few times a week. Thanks for the suggestion Brent. Actually the hamstrings were feeling pretty good today so that made me happy.

Late AM workout at the gym. Treadmill and circuit/weights workout.

Finally we made it to Jan 31. To January all I can say is goodbye and good riddance! Looking forward to a (hopefully) more sunny and slightly warmer February.

It's been a long month, I hate to wish time away but I echo you - roll on February!

Hey Tom,

Getting out this morning was a great way to bid farewell to a less than greatest January! It was quite enjoyable in the still, crisp morning. Stars and moon are fun SOMETIMES! (Maybe they will be fun ALL the time come hot summertime temps!)
