I'm working from home today since I'll leave to DC in the late afternoon. Went for a run over lunch, nice and warm and humid. 38:38 standard course

I went for my 6 mile run today. My abdomen started hurting within a few minutes, and the pain didn't disappear until 60 minutes later. The last 5 minutes or so where fine. I ate a banana before the run, perhaps that did it? Good run nevertheless.

Went for a ride on Saturday. I was pretty nervous for the World Cup final and it helped relax me. Saw a kid in an orange T-shirt on his bike, participating in the Durham bike ride that passed me.

Sasha still has my watch.

Yesterday I ran for the first time in a week. In an effort to keep up, and since I probably won't run Tuesday and Wednesday, I ran my standard course again today. It's pretty rare that I run two days in a row.

Sasha has my watch, so no time, and that is fine. It'll be a week or two before I'm back into shape for running in this weather.

The heat didn't bother me today (even though it's very hot), but the hills still do. Crazy, really need to get back into it.

My first ran after I returned to Durham on Wednesday. All this traveling has not been good for my running rhythm so a few minutes after I started I decided to do my 3.5 mile course instead of the 6 miles I had planned when leaving the house. That was probably a smart decision although I don't feel totally worn out (a good thing). I can tell that hills are harder for me now than they were 6 months ago; the heat doesn't bother me as much. A nice opportunity to get back into shape.

Ouch -- a whole week since my previous run! Traveling does my training no good. Next week I'll be back in North Carolina; hopefully things will get more normal there.

Went for a run at 5.30 pm PT, felt like 8.30 pm EST :) Had a big lunch, didn't eat very well yesterday either. Was good to be running. Ran with Jim, a colleague.

After a long day in a noisy lab, it was great to go for a run in Umstead Park. Jim and I ran the Loblolly trail; turned around after 16 minutes. Great run.

Had a nice run on the towpath, the same place where Sasha and I walked a few days ago. Ran for 30 minutes one way, then on the way back I had to take several breaks. I'm out of shape! Can't even run for an hour! Oh well.
