Day 245

• 3.68 miles
• 8:09/mile pace
• 0700
• Mobile, AL
• Another "recovery run," as this is supposed to be a "recovery week."   Yes, I realize I took it easy last week too, but since the McMillan plan says this week is to be easier I decided to start following the plan again :).  Anyway, the streak goes on.
• Poverty is easily seen in the neighborhoods around downtown Mobile, AL.

Day 244

• 6.31 miles
• 7:50/mile pace
• 0730
• Mobile, AL
• This felt like a much harder effort than the results would indicate -- felt like I was pushing for the first 5+ miles, though I didn't feel I was going fast, which I wasn't.   The 20 seconds sprints that followed (7 of them) were uninspired as well.  

Day 208

• 1.7 miles
• Slow
• 0720
• To/From Gran and Gramps house -- Mobile, AL
• Another streak extender...need to actually get a run in sometime as it has been about a week straight of streak extension runs only.   Perhaps tomorrow, though it will require me to feel a bit better -- think the late nights/early mornings have caught up to me.

Day 149

• 3.48 miles
• 7:20/mile pace
• 0510
• From/To Home
• Strange right hip tightness/discomfort that I'm blaming on the guy that bent my ear for the entire CLT/PHX flight last night as I felt I had to angle my body towards him or he would be insulted...nice guy though and may give the company I work for some business, but whatever, not worth it if the discomfort lasts more than just another few hours.   Felt pretty good running, didn't push, but wasn't totally lazy about it either, pace was good.   Becca and Finn are on their way to Mobile/New Orleans for her marathon on Sunday, which is very cool, but also means I have to figure out some way to get my runs in for the next three days....options are:   Treadmill at the club, pending that I show up when day care is available.   Ask Laura to hang with Case while I go for a run, ideally with Craig.   Ask Catie to watch her two girls and Case while Chad and I go for a run.   Convince Case that he wants to sit in the jogging stroller for a while.   Each may require bribery, but I'm in no way opposed to that.

Day 79

• 1.5 miles (estimate)
• Super slow
• 0650
• From/To Gran and Gramps house
• When not feeling well, or not wanting to run even 1 mile can be miserable.   Legs were a bit tight still, so didn't run fast at all, didn't run far either -- woke up with puffy right eye and general fatigue...feel like crap actually, but could have something to do with Cindy's dog Abby...or I could have Shingles like Becca thought she saw on the back of my neck the other day.  Whatever, Streak continues...
