6 AM: Ran a little over 4 miles with Kim on a peaceful morning. Temps in the high 20's.

9:12/131

11 AM: Ran 3 more at work, my short relaxing run. Temps in the 30's with a little sunshine, felt good. I was very pleased to see my HR stay mostly in the 140's while running pace was in the 7's. This doesn't happen very often for me and I hope it's a sign of good things to come.

Definitely a good sign!

Are you both running the half this weekend?

From Tom on Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 15:26:55 from 137.65.56.16

Actually neither of us is running the half. Kim is running the 5K and I'm spectating.

I SEE, well, then, enjoy spectating and good luck to Kim on the 5k. That is my least favorite distance.

Thanks Kelli. Good luck to you too!
