Well the holidays are over and now I guess it's time to start getting consistent again.  I've gained a few pounds and been super lazy.  Felt good to be up early again and getting after it.  Nothing spectacular, just happy to be out.

Did a couple extra this morning because I had time and needed the extra miles. Kept it all easy in hopes of not coming back too fast and trying to make up for missed training in preparation for Painter's. Time: 1:07:21 8:25/mile

Another slow paced longer than usual run today.  Got an early start so got a few extra in.  Feeling it a little more in the legs due to the extra weight and lack of movement for the last month.  Should be better by next week.

Super slow and easy miles today. Ran with Meg and took it really easy which is always a good thing every once in a while.  Unfortunately, no long run tomorrow as I will be with the youth in Mesquite for planning and leadership training.

Youth retreat to Mesquite.  Nice get-away but no long run, bummer.

Finally did make it out for a nice long run.  Weather was nice only needed long sleeve shirt and gloves.  At least I know I can finish Painter's now.  No real goals for the upcoming race due to my lack of dedicated training of late.

Looks like rain is in the forcast for most of this week but today was great.  It was 51 degrees at the start and a light breeze.

Well it was clear and dry this morning after a very wet and rainy day yesterday.  It's supposed to get coudy and rainy for the rest of the week.  Hopefully it doesn't spoil Painter's.

Interesting run in the fog this morning.  I don't think I have ever run in the fog in Vegas, or ever for that matter.  We only see fog on very very rare occasions here so it was a bit of a treat.  Legs are tired, feet hurt, just feel crudy all around.....shouldn't have slacked off in December.

Went pretty much as expected.  Overweight, out of shape, and unmotivated.  Figured I could maintain an 8:00/mile pace and that is pretty much what happened.  Hung out with Chad and Mark for a little while and then my lack of training kicked in and kicked my butt.  It was good to see a few of you up there.

Man running just hurts lately.  These little six mile runs are just killing me.  I don't know what it is, everything aches.

Worst run in a long time.  Actually thought I might try to do 20 today.....obviously didn't happen cause I felt like crap the entire way and finally packed it in after a little over 5 miles.
