The large bucket of popcorn I ate last night, 

while watching "The Wrestler", had surprisingly little effect

on my 10.01 mile run this am.  Felt pretty good.

More snow is coming.

Ran 10.82 this am.

Very cold (7 degrees F), but roads are mainly dry and free of ice.

Looking forward to Spring and losing the layers.

10.77 today.

felt slow.

Note to self: "garbage in, garbage out".

Ran 10.1 miles this am in the snow.

Didn't mind the icy roads, but frustrated

by foggy sun glasses.

Decent run this morning.

Ran 10.89 miles in the cold (5 degrees F).

Key to running in frigid temperatures is 

maintaining core body temp. balance.

Ran 10.97 miles this am.

Felt good.  Ice starting to melt off the roads.

Peanut-butter and Fluff sandwich last night

may have helped.

Ran 3.87 yesterday, and 7.5 today.

Felt fast today.

Better run today, despite the frigid temperatures.

Starting to adjust diet and stretching to accommodate.

First week's total milage:  45.05 miles

Good first week.

Third Run

Third run today (10.76 miles).

Felt slightly better, but still needs improvement.

Ran first race of the winter Boston Build-Up Series this morning. 

Good local event, 10K (6.21 miles) around town.

Results not posted yet, but I think I finished 27th at 39:20.

Feel fat and old, need to improve.  I will.

Next run is Tuesday am.

First Run for RUNFORITP

First run for the RUNFORITP campaign was this morning, Friday, 1/2/09.  

I ran 11.05 miles, as recorded by my newly purchased GARMIN Forerunner 305 (GPS-enabled training system). It was a hard run due to holiday diet, lack of exercise, icy conditions and strong head winds.  I ran my usual course, which is from my house in Rowayton to the turn-around gate at the end of Long Neck Road in Darien, and back.  Good start.
