Campus loop - 10 miles, no watch. Pace was probably 8:15-8:25. Ran with Brandon and Jim did a few miles with us. Very icy in spots. Good to get in a run in the morning for the first time in a while.

Vinton Woods - 9 miles, averaged 7:26. Did some faster miles (3, 5, 7). Got a bit too proud and blew the start of a baby builder and just kind of resigned myself to the fact that I am overweight and out of shape, but that running a few faster miles even with super long recoveries would be okay for now. Mile 3=6:41, Mile 5=6:36, Mile 7=6:17 (about 76 feet of drop). Did a few strides in the last mile.

Evening: 30 minutes of core and stretching. The giant blood blister on the right ball of my foot feels like it has a headache.

Late: Pre-LOST rewatch, post-cookbook perusal: 30 minutes of core and stretching. Impending cold me thinks. I made it about 375 days.

After reading about Scott Wietecha's diet today I was happy to find this on my door step. I need some low-sodium meals after ODing on smoked salmon the last few days...some other "dietary" stuff to work out as well.

Newtone - 5.6 miles.

The cold has hit me. Combine that with sub-1500 calories yesterday and you aren't worth a hoot. Felt pretty awful yesterday after walking home in the cold without my hat so my appetite was 0.

This one is for Rob and others who like insane core workouts. That is an amazing mid-section:

Still a bit sick, so a day off.

Scott W. to Newton? I confess I spent some time looking at his gear recently and saw some Distance and MV3 and kind of had an idea. I think the flats are tough to beat. Newton spilled the beans on FB.

AM: final day of the week weigh in. A sensible 1.75 lbs from last Saturday. Weighed Oliver as well. He's running a bit high at 12.6. If he is ever to fight in the 12 lb alley cat division we need to work on his diet and get him some outside experience (highly supervised of course).

If folks are having trouble with runner tracking search for Houston, log out and then log back in and you should get the search function to work. Otherwise it will tell you a runner is not found when the spelling is correct.

I am sure there are plenty of people I am missing but I tracked Cabada, Wietecha, Jake, Riley, and Joe. Happy to pretend to do work tomorrow morning and track others.

PM: Newtone - 9.15 miles.

Got a pair of Mushas for a decent price. Haven't found anything suitable for the treadmill other than my A5s and I don't run in the same shoe two runs in a row. On first test, this is a GREAT shoe. Much higher heel than I am used to, but I barely noticed it.
