AM: 4 miles.  Somehow I slept through both my alarms this morning.  I'm blaming the kids that kept me awake from 2 to 3 this morning.  What was that all about?

PM: 6 miles after work.  Chilly out tonight.

9 miles after work.  I ran to Staples, then through town and up to the first freeway exit, then home.  I also busted out a new pair of Saucony Kinvara's and I love them.  I'm kicking myself for waiting this long to try them out.  I can tell why everyone loves them so much.  Here's to seeing if I can get 1000 miles out of them as well.

Coldest morning of the year so far.  20 degrees when I started out and 23 by the time I finished.  I ran to the west of town, then around the middle school and home.

6 miles for a warm up.  It was 24 degrees and I didn't love the idea of racing with it this cold.  I ran the course and by the 5th mile it warmed up to 26-27 degrees and felt pretty good.

Goal was to run a 10k race at a faster pace than Paul runs the marathon trials in Houston today.  I probably missed the goal because Paul is a BEAST and gonna tear it up this morning.  Anyway, race started and I took the lead from the gun.  The first mile was slight downhill (5:10), second mile was flat (5:16) and third mile was slight uphill (5:20).  I hit the turn around (forgot to look at my watch) and tried to stay somewhat consistent on the reverse course.  Missed mile 4 but fifth mile was (flat again in 5:24) and mile 6 (slight uphill in 5:15).  Final .2 in 37 seconds so the course was off somehow.  In fact, I think the course was long but who know.  Don't really care.  Just wanted a solid tempo-type workout and that's what I got.  Very pleased with the time given the time of year and the weather.  Hopefully I can put together a few more solid months before Pear Blossom and a spring marathon.

 2 mile cool down and then a large chocolate milk for a post-race refreshment.
