Very unusual for me to run on a Sunday. This is usually a rest day for me but today I finished with a run. I met Raj and we went on a run through Chestnut park. Saw lots of deer tonight and enjoyed great views of Lake Tarpon. I enjoyed hearing about his new life as a father and husband of almost 2 years. The highs & lows. Mostly highs and mostly blessings. He's off to a good start and has a great foundation on which to build. It was a good night to run.

Temp was actually warm enough to go shirtless. It's good to live in Florida!!!

Met with Mark this morning. He's still sick from some upper respiratory thing he caught last week. We just took it slow this morning and talked of the coming year. There's a lot to do in 2011. Looking forward to it.

Today we went North on East Lake up to the hilly neighborhood. We only did two laps today but that was enough. Today marked my 8th day in a row running. I'm going to try to hit 60 this week and see how I feel. I may try to sharpen up and run a fast half in February OR if I feel good enough I may just run the Tallahassee full and try to stick another 3:30 or better. We'll see. No hurry.

Got up early but began doing work. Got out the door late and realized I had just cost myself 30 minutes of run time. I will try to get out again tonight and bang out 5 or 6 miles.
