I ran at 6.15 am this morning. 33 minutes.

Cold, as always, but felt good. 19 degrees Fahrenheit, but I had my new cap.

75 minutes

It was bitter cold today, with a strong wind. I went out in my summer clothes (these same as I used in Aruba); I realized I had brought the wrong undershirt from NC -- it's Sasha's, not mine so it clearly doesn't fit me.

After 2 minutes I turned around and went back home. Those 4 minutes made me thoroughly cold so I put on a jacket and long pants. Then the run went nicely. Ran 31 minutes.

I ran three times on Aruba. It was even hotter than North Carolina in the summer, which is saying a lot. Once 60 minutes, once 30 minutes and one 40 minutes.

Treadmill again, actually with intervals it really isn't that bad! 30 minutes, 2 minutes each of roughly 13 miles/hour to 8 miles/hour.

3.00 miles on the treadmill! Exactly 30 minutes. 2 min 13, 2 min 8, etc (last 14 minutes not 8 but 10).

For the second time this week we went to the gym together. First treadmill, then Pilates exercices.

I ran for only 18 minutes today. Really too short.

It was too dark, and I didn't know a nice course to run in Somerset.

It had been more than two months since my previous long run, so I was curious how it would go. It went very well! The temperature surely helped; 54 degrees. About 25 minutes before the end another runner came onto the trail a few minutes in front of me. I felt strong so I started chasing him and after 10 minutes I overtook him. Never let go of the speed and made it in a pretty good time: 2 hours, 17 minutes and change.

10.9 minutes/mile. A personal record for this course, beating my previous PR from October 2008 by 4 minutes.

Wonderful short run. Left at 1.45 pm, hungry. Came back half hour later, happy.
