8 easy miles in the morning before work. I was a fairly worn out by the end of my run. My body does not really like running in the mornings, but it really needs to learn.

6 miles with 4 x 30 seconds and 4 x 60 seconds. I was originallty planning on a more formal interval session, but I didn't feel up to it. I still have a little chest congestion from the recent cold and a little residual soreness from the race this weekend. I finished the run with a trip up  the stairs to my 19th floor apartment (1:35).

6 easy miles in the morning before work. Uneventful. I may do some more this evening.

10 easy miles today. The workout consisted of running to pick up my trophy from the recent race. It's a gargoyle pencilholder, and it's a beaury. Much better the a plastic runner. I had left the race quickly because I didn't think that I was close to being in the top 3 of my age group. They used 10 year groups which made it even less likely. Anyway, I apparently got 3rd place. The official results are still not out, but the sent me an e-mail telling me to come get my hardware. Sadly this will probably be the only trophy I get this year.

Christmas came early this year. The running store that I I run for decided to geve me some winter runnig gear. I went to the store expecting to get a couple chesp shirts. I ended up with 3 nice shirts, three jackets, and 3 pairs of running pants. All high quality stuff courtesy of my friends at Fleet Feet Chicago and Nike. (Shameless plug...I owe them). This stuff was probably worth $300-$400. I will be well stocked this winter.

As for my running, I did 10 easy miles this morning. I say easy because I ran slow. Actual, it was hard to maintian even a slow pace this morning. Cardiovascularly I was fine, but my legs were not in the mood to cooperate. I am happy to say that I was able to pull myself from the happy confines of my bed to run before work 3 times this week. Not bad.

10 miles on the treadmill in 62:45. I really had no reason not to run outside, but for some reason I just fult like going on the treadmill.  Played a lot with the controls and ended up doing a couple 2 mile stretches in under 6:00 average pace. Felt good.
