It ain't Chinese algebra!

5 miles on the hotel treadmill, with 25 push-ups between each mile.

Best run in a LONG TIME.  I ran in some pretty crummy parts of Eugene, but I felt amazing and would have ran for hours if it wasn't for other commitments.  The only problem was the light rain that caused my shirt to rub against my chest.  Had to ditch the shirt the final 3 miles and run shirtless.  Not bad for an early December run in the rain.  Lots of strange stares, I'm sure.

Morning run in Eugene.  Around the campus and then to South Hillyard Clinic to see what time they opened.  Couldn't remember so glad I ran there.

I ran around Tanner Dental and then went to All Sports Park and ran three laps on the wood chip, then returned home via the hospital.

11 miles in Grants Pass. I ran through town to Savage St, then the back way to Anderson Dental, then back home via 6th st.  Coldest run of the year--26 degrees.  And to think, three days ago I was running shirtless in Eugene.  I can't complain though; its been pretty outstanding up to this point.

6.5 miles for a warm up to Walmart and then to the HS.  I then tried my hand at speed work for the first time in what feels like years.  5x1600m with 400m rest between each.  1. 5:49 (1:57), 2. 5:51 (1:56), 3. 5:34 (1:58), 4. 5:28 (2:07), 5. 5:16. Felt okay throughout but my lungs weren't loving life on the 3rd and 4th laps with each interval.  Pretty pleased with how I was able to finish out the workout. 800m cool down and then 4 miles back home.  Good start back into the next training cycle.
