I ran the 1-hour course today (home to Whole Foods, back over campus). 1:03. Felt wonderful. I love this distance. I felt some discomfort in my left hip during the run, and half-way for a minute or so in my right foot. Clearly I'm still getting back in the rhythm.

If I continue training like this I should be in good shape for the Raleigh Rocks Half Marathon in March.

A great time tonight -- 32:09. And 0 weird feeling in either of my knees (previous two runs I felt a tiny bit). Dare I say it... I'm getting back in shape.

It was very cold, 23 degrees and a chilly wind. Glad I now have a long-sleeve undershirt. 29 something until the traffic light.

Did the usual course; 33:56. Not bad! Made it again to the traffic light in under 30 minutes; I'm happy with that. Going up the stairs after the run I felt my knee a tiny bit weird, this time my left. It was really tiny, maybe it's the cold. Didn't feel anything during the run. Should sign up for Raleigh Rocks.

We run our usual course; it was pretty cold. 40 minutes and 3 seconds.

Oh, it's definitely getting colder. Tonight I ran from 7 pm to 8 pm, and the temperature was in the mid 40's. Still, I could go in my regular outfit. I should consider wearing a cap or a thicker T-shirt when it gets colder.

I did my 1 hour course, without the scary part near the ring place (it was really dark). I was at the traffic light after 54:30 minutes.

This is great! I ran 2:21 hours, 12.6 miles in Umstead. It was 56 degrees. So much easier now it's not so hot. Two weeks ago I did 2:30 when it was in the 70's.

Wow it was really though to run on Wednesday after a break of 10 days. But we managed.

Tonight I ran my usual course, in 34:32. The run felt great but I was completely wiped out the whole evening.

I ran for about 50 minutes. I started way to fast, I was at the traffic light in front of Duke University in little over 7 minutes. Since I ran during the day there was a lot of traffic and it took forever to cross the street. I had planned to go for my 1 hour course but I felt too tired early on (guess what, I started to quickly ;)). Feels good. Now ready for a long flight to BG.

I did the short campus course today, 32:26 minutes for 3.5 miles (maybe really 3.3 miles) so a little under 10 minutes a mile. Maybe 3.2 because I took the late-night short cut so I didn't have to run over the (dark) Erwin road part so long.

We ran the 5 mile course today. It was nice to run a distance like this together. The first time for Sasha that she run more than 4 miles. 58 minutes.
