I am happy with this run, even though my stomach was cramping during the last two miles. Maybe it was what i ate for breakfast...i don't know. It was slightly faster than yesterday, so I'm feeling good about that.

A rare treat during the week! A run outside! I had nothing clean, of course, so I was wearing the crappiest, oldest pants I have. Oh well. The run was uneventful and sans watch.

I am coming to loathe the high school basketball season. There is something going on every night. My boss, luckily, understands that I can't be at everything. However, I feel guilty about missing stuff. But I shouldn't.

I think I feel guilty because in this survey we gave to our parents, the two comments that bothered me most were: "Don't even know the assistant principal" and "the assistant principal never smiles." Though I shouldn't know who wrote the comments, I do. You better believe I smile whenever I see the mom who wrote the second comment. I do it out of spite.

An am run on the treadmill.  Not hard to get out of bed, but it was hard to get my legs moving.  I also did some strength training.  I really don't do that as often as I should.  But I've been better about it lately.

Not great on consistency this week.  Will be better next week.  I just have to plan around the nightly activities better.  Our girls basketball team won their sectional against the same team that our boys played the night I had to kick the old guys out of our gym.  I bet they were there, but I didn't see them.  I thought there might be trouble, but there wasn't.  If the girls win on Monday, they will play in the state final four next Friday. 

This run today ended up being a good one, even though it took me a while to warm up.  My phone lied to me when it told me it was in the upper 40s.  I knew it was lying, but I didn't look up the temp before I left.  I just guessed 30s.  It was 20.  That's why it took me 3.5 miles to really get into the run.  Last two miles felt really good.

Average pace was 9:05.
