Felt ok last night.  I ran after work in the cold and windy dark. 
It turns out that running with my knees up and taking full strides will take some time  - my other, shuffling stride, is such a habit. However, I'll need to put forth the effort and figure this out if I want to progress.  At least that is what my coach says.  :)

Got out between the heavier rains.  I am feeling pretty good today.  Maybe my attitude is turning around.  

 8 at 7:07 ave pace

 

on a side note - I am thinking about signing up for the ING Georgia Marathon that is on March 21st.  It would only be $70 total if I sign up this week.  It runs by my front door and I've skipped it the last two years, but I think maybe i need a little inspiration for the next three months.

I got out and did 8.4 around town.  it was a little windy and chilly but not bad at all.  It was nice to do a different route for once

felt good today -no foot pain at all for the past couple of days. (not that it was bad, just annoying for the first couple miles)

8.4 - 6:58 ave pace

finally over 30 miles in a week!

in a bad mood for some reason today - but I did two runs in between kids activities.  I'm off the next 2.5 weeks - with the kids. I'm not sure how I'm going to get any good training in without breaking them up into early morning and after dark...I guess I'm spoiled   :)

these kids are going to drive me crazy...

 yesterday the wind was blowing the rain sideways and I would have had to run at work.  It just didn't work out ...

felt good today but I had to split my run in half it turns out

AM   - 4.9 - 7:06 pace

PM 8 - 7:00 pace

I'm at an even 2400 miles for the year now (the miles on this board are a bit shy cause I didn't start on Jan 1 here).  I was hoping for 2500 but I'm not going to sweat it coming a little shy.  Still it is my high mileage for a year. 

 Not sure if I should do the 5 or 10 K on New years day and/or the FA 50K on the 3rd.  I guess I could always do both..

First PTO day and I had a fun day with the kids..  Went out for 6 after Chrys got home from work.  I didn't think I'd get one in today but I did - yea.  Not really any zip in me, so I took it really easy
