We have been having a streak of really nice weather and today was another one.  I felt good this morning and enjoyed the great day.  Nothing special just getting in the miles and glad to get back into more of a routine.

Another great morning with low temps and no wind.  I felt pretty good today.  Started off and ran the first two miles easy then did the last 3 miles picking up the pace as I went.  Ran the last 3 miles in 7:55, 7:40 and 7:19.  Nothing too exciting but I need to slowly get back to faster paces.

Another great cool morning for running. After such a hot summer it has been really nice the last couple of weeks.  I felt good this morning but just took it easy.  Just working on staying consistent and getting the miles back up.  Feeling better to get into a routine.

My daughters have been sick the last couple of days and last night I started coming down with it.  Slept bad and woke up feeling rough (head cold).  I started feeling a little better later in the day so went out for a few miles.  It was hot (86) and didn't feel the best so was glad to just get something on the board today.  I will call it a moral victory even though it was only 4 miles.  Hope to feel better tomorrow.

Still feeling sick.  Slept horrible again last night so waited to run until lunch.  I felt good running but head still stopped up.  Kept a pretty good pace considering not feeling good and the it was pretty warm (85).

Felt better this morning but still not totally kicked this cold.  It was a nice morning but starting to warm up.  Since I didn't feel the best just took it easy and was glad to get in another full week of running.  Starting to feel like I am getting back in the groove.
