I had a sandwich at 4.30 pm and ran at 6.00 pm... not a bright move. Still made about 3.5 miles or so.

I really like this route... and why not run 6 miles? I felt good.

My previous two runs were 6 miles each, more than I usually do. So I took two days off after my last run. Tonight's run went well, but I could feel my body was still tired. No pain or discomfort though, which is great.

I ran with new socks! The last time I bought socks was when I started running seriously, in 2008. So the old socks have served well for four years.

Today I ran in my lunch break; I am working from home.

I ran a celebratory 6 mile course since I met my 2012 target!

Went for the nice 6 miles course again today, such a great run. This distance is becoming routine again, which is good.

I haven't run on a Friday evening in a while. Usually I time it so I run on Tuesday and Thursday. But yesterday was the anniversary of Nadia and Milan and we had a special dinner together.

I was tired tonight but the run went well.

Nora has been sleeping well but we woke up at 6.15 am which is a little early for us. So I was pretty tired during this run, although it went well.

I want to run at least the same amount of miles this year as I did in 2010. That means that after yesterday's run there are 26 more miles to go -- a marathon. Shouldn't be a problem in a normal month but December is always very difficult, mileage wise.

I didn't really feel like running today. It is cold and I'd have preferred to stay inside. But after Thanksgiving it is important to maintain momentum, and my target goal of running 358 miles this year is a great motivator (34 more miles to go as of before this run).

So I put on my jacket and went anyway and allowed myself a simple run -- 4 miles, no more. It felt sluggish the first half, and never really felt fast, but when I was done I saw I ran a nice time.
