I am in Gulf Shores, AL today.  My kids are on spring break and we are getting away for a few days.  It has been a crazy few weeks for me with business travel, vacation and family commitments.  The running has kind of taken a back burner.  I feel like I am just barely holding on to my fitness.  I am hoping that I can get back into the routine but I feel some of my spring goals slipping away.  I really need to get in a race to see where I am at and maybe I can get the consistency back.  I had a great run this morning.  It was a beautiful day and I felt good.  I have been feeling good on all of my runs lately I am mainly concerned about endurance and speed.  If I could get one solid week back I think I would feel a lot better. 

It was around 65 and very windy.

Still in Gulf Shores and boy was it a windy morning today.  Probably around 30 mph sustained.  It made for tough going into the wind but I sure got a push downwind.  I felt good today so picked up the pace for about 3 miles to around marathon pace.  It is certainly a lot more fun running in the warm weather even if I do have to put up with the wind.  These distances are just estimated while I am down here are just estimated since I have not measured them and I don't have GPS.

Still in Gulf Shores on vacation. Ran an easy 8 miles today. It was a nice day and the wind was not too bad. I felt good the whole way. I didn't run the last couple of days just been spending time with the family. I did play about 1 hour of football on the beach which had me sweating and breathing pretty hard.

Back at home and it was a great day outside (63, light wind). Felt real good today no problems just need to get into some kind of routine. I am planning a long run tomorrow which is way past due.
