Day 13

  • 3.1 miles
    • Slow
    • 5:50am
    • From/To Home (roundtrip to walking bridge over 101)
  • Feeling better today though still a bit congested -- when hearing that my teeth hurt yesterday a friend diagnosed that I may have a sinus infection, since that moment it has seemed as such.  That stated, I did feel much better today and had no difficulty extending "The Streak" today.  (Unassociated but noteworthy, Finn slept in his own room for the first time last night, which may be another reason why I feel better today.   Somewhat associated, I believe my new shoes, ordered on-line, a first for me, should arrive today...man, I think that sentence just confirmed that I'm leaning towards runner dork tendancies....have to keep an eye on that to see how it plays out)

Day 7

  • 5 miles
    • 8:59/mile pace
    • 6am
    • From/To Home
  • Felt pretty tired last night, legs exhausted to the point of reminding me of Ironman Training...this is not very encouraging since I barely eclipsed 20 miles over the past 7 days, but whatever, hopefully I'll start feeling better.   The slight chaffing (underwear too small?  Man, I am fat) noticed only yesterday was not noticed today.   Right knee felt a little old until maybe half a mile...sped up as I went, finishing final mile in around 8 minute pace, marking the first sub 9 pace I've felt like doing (not counting treadmill runs) since beginning "The Streak."  
  • 100 Push-ups (20 of which were with Case on my back), 125 sit-ups
