Thoughts: I had a decent run. It started out a bit sore but I picked up my pace the last half a mile or so. My body is still paying me back for slacking off over the holiday weekend. Even though my runs haven't been great, I'm actually looking forward to running again. I kind of wish that tomorrow wasn't a day off. Let's see how I feel in a month or two when the weekly distance starts getting up there.

Day 036

Start: 7:07am
Weather: Clear and Cool
Time/Distance/Pace: 21:24 - 2 miles - 10:41

Thoughts: I feel bad because I missed two runs over the Thanksgiving holiday. I brought my running stuff down to Boston with me and even got dressed for a run, but still failed to get out the door. Hal Higon says it's okay to miss a run once in a while, but never miss a long run (Saturday). Luckily, at this point my long runs aren't any longer than my other runs. Now I have to make sure I don't repeat that failure.


I was pretty sore from excessive dancing Saturday night and I didn't eat very well over the holiday break. So, my pace was slow, but otherwise the run went fine.

Day 030

Start: 5:13am
Weather: Cold and Clear
Time/Distance/Pace: 30:00 - 3 miles - 10:00

Thoughts: The first half-mile of today's run was probably the most effortless I've had so far. I felt as light on my feet as deer having learned that hunting season was cut short. It made me remember when I was marathon training in 2004 and up over 20 miles a week, those first three miles of a run felt like nothing. After that the cold kicked it, it was in the 20s, and labored breathing slowed my pace. But, for a few minutes I remembered why I love to run.

Day 029

Start: 5:07am
Weather: Cool, Breezy and Clear
Time/Distance/Pace: 20:52 - 2 miles - 10:26
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/60626182

Thoughts: Probably my hardest run so far. Yesterday and this morning I had a sore right hamstring and it definitely affected my pace. On top of that the cold and wind had my lungs sounding like a early summer bog full of peepers. Here's hoping that tomorrow's 3 miler goes better.

Day 027

Start: 7:03am
Weather: Cool, Breezy and Clear
Time/Distance/Pace: 39:04 - 4 miles - 9:46
RunKeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/cadebro/activity/60395277

Thoughts: The morning was cool and very windy, but there was a nice sunrise that made the morning worth it. The combination of cold and wind always affect my breathing and therefor my pace, but I was able to bring what was a 10 minute pace after the first mile down to a decent 9:46 pace. Hunting season is in full effect, I heard four gunshots during my run. Not the most settling sound to hear while you're out running.
