This felt really good for a Monday run. I was glad that I didn't gain any weight after a long Thanksgiving weekend of eating a lot of junk.  AP:  6:53.

Due to having to go into work early and my baby girl keeping me up at nights, I missed 3 days in a row.  I'm feeling fat.

I thought I would feel good and fresh this morning after the 3 day break, but I didn't have much energy.  It took a couple of fast miles at the end to get my average down below 7 pace.  AP:  6:56.

Pushed Payson in the stroller on an out-and-back run on the Syracuse Trail. He slept from 45 minutes into the run until we got home. Then, when we get home he says to me, "That was a hard run Daddy, I need to rest."  AP:  7:20

Real fun run at midnight on Christmas Eve with Ben, John, Riley, Ken, and Taylor.  Was glad to have been invited to join Ben and John in their tradition and would now like to make it one of my traditions.  It was good to run with the guys again.  AP: 6:56.

On vacation out in Colorado.  Didn't come well prepared for the super cold weather.  This run wasn't too bad.  Ran from my in-laws house in Severance to Windsor Lake and did two laps around the lake.  AP:  6:45

Went with my Brother-in-law to play pick-up basketball at a church.  There were way too many guys.  So we played two short games then sat out two games.  When I was sitting out for a couple of games I was running the hall ways trying to get a decent workout in.  I'm guessing I got at least 3 miles in, but I didn't actually measure it.

Still out in Colorado ran the same route as Saturday, but only did one lap instead of two.  It was really cold.  Tuesday the temperatures were below zero so I didn't run at all.  AP:  6:48.
