Found a much flatter route today and got a much better run in today.

Longer than I wanted but probably a good thing. All in all a pretty good wee except for the couple days off.

Nice easy run on a bit of snow. Felt good but my legs were definitely tired from the past few days.

A few quick miles before the cross country banquet. Probably too fast on the pace but I wanted to get in something.

My legs were quite tired today and it was cold so my motivation ran out after 8.

Outside freeway loop with extension. California is really a pretty nice in terms of weather! This was just about as miserable as it gets (without rain) and I was comfortable the whole way through.

Set out to run 11 or 12 but felt terrible. My stomach hurt right from the start and I was happy to make it home in 8.

Managed to get it in today. My legs are feeling pretty good and finally things are loosening up getting used to more running.

Managed to get in a few. I had to run to a Christmas party and home to find the time but what else can you do?

Long loop with Ozzie. A pretty good run even though it rained a bit toward the end.

Out in the rain with Ozzie. Probably wasn't 13 but I'm going to count that.

Only a little bit of time today so I decided to turn it into a tempo.

Long loop and also around the sports park. Probably a little too fast but it was a glorious day so I felt quite good. Legs were a bit low on energy after a tempo yesterday but all in all a pretty good end to the year.
