Great run today.  Pretty comfortable pace.  I went a little bit faster than normal because there were a few people that I was trying to stay with.  I didn't end up doing very well at that goal, but it did help my pace to try.  Pace was hanging at around 8:17/mile.  Not bad for me.

Nice quick run around the Fieldhouse followed by some flexibility training and some weights.  I really need to improve my flexibility if I expect my times to improve.  My muscles are always in a state of tension.

Nice run today on the Dreadmill.  I covered the screen with a magazine and then just tried to stay focused on how my breathing felt and how my fit hit the ground.  Set the timer for 32 minutes and then went at it.  It was one of the better runs I've had lately.  I felt great.

Quick run today.  I wanted to go further, but time was the limiting factor.  I ran that amount in 22 minutes.  Not bad.

Nice quick run on the Treadmill again today.  It was a little bit too cold for my taste outside.  It was a little warmer than I wanted in the gym though.

Today I needed a run.  I had a flat tire on Thursday afternoon and got it fixed yesterday.  Well today, it decided to get unfixed and our tire shop is closed until Monday.  I needed to de-stress pretty badly, so I hit one of my favorite courses.  I felt much better when I was done, but I was pretty cold throughout the run.  It was worth it though.

So today was running with the baby stroller day 2.  That thing is pretty nice except going down hills.  It really gets some momentum, a lot more than I am comfortable with.  I really had to work to slow us down because it doesn't do well at high speeds.

Nice run today with my little running buddy in the jogging stroller.  That thing is a pain up steep hills.  Great run today though.  Only planned on doing 1.8 miles, but it was beautiful and I couldn't seem to stop.  Took a completely new route that I really enjoyed.
