Today I set out to do what I couldn't accomplish yesterday, run seven miles, and I did and at a faster pace than usual too. It was a cold run, couldn't feel my ears or fingers, still felt awesome though.

Ran two slow miles after work on the treadmill and then ran another two slow miles on the treadmill after eating dinner and watching the Biggest Loser. I was into my after dinner run, right after work run not so much. Not feeling stressed like I was last week and during the weekend but feeling down, fighting to snap out of it.

This morning I felt the need to run. Wished I could have gone trail running but had to work. On my lunch break I ran 3 miles on the treadmill at work. Got rid of some of the muscle tension I had in my shoulders and neck.  Processed a ton of pages at work today, totally slammed at work, that brought back some tension. After work I ran another 5 miles on the treadmill. All tension went away.

Was planning to get up early and run with a group this morning but since I went to bed at midnight decided it would be a bad idea to run a long distance with only 5 hours of sleep, my body tends to hate me when I do that. Woke up later in the morning ate breakfast and went running at a local mile and half nature trail. Saw geese in the pond when I got there, aren't they suppose to be somewhere south and warm for the winter? Half mile in I thought why am I doing this, it is cold and I can't feel my fingers but another half mile later I had warmed up and was enjoying the scenery. Got done with the first loop and decided to go around again. After completing three miles I walked another loop to take pictures.
