Comments: My goal starting the week was to get three regular runs in and then a longer one this weekend. To get the first half of that, I had to double up and get one in today. I wasn't feeling particularly fresh this morning so an afternoon run it is.

This one wasn't a hell of a lot of fun but it was a damn sight better than yesterday -- as low of a bar as that is to clear. I felt like I was halfway running rather than just staggering to get finished. The good news was I didn't ache nearly as much as I did yesterday. But that might be a passing fancy.

Comments: Skipped two days but I was determined to get this one in today. Not the best idea for a number of reasons. My legs are stiff as the bejesus following my run on Monday. It's uncomfortably warm for a December day and unpleasantly windy as well. There are more hills in my new route which is slightly longer than my old usual one.

Anyhow. Got it done.

I was slow and lacking the smallest fraction of grace in my form. It's not fun being back in the suck-it-up-and-finish-however-you-can phase but here we are.

Comments: Three full months without a run. Ugh. getting back into this is going to suck so hard. Lotta reasons for the layoff, most notably moving, but the time for excuses needs to be at an end. 

It was my first time running this route. A portion of it is similar to my old one but I wasn't sure the exact distance. Now I have an idea I'll play around with it to get it to four miles.

The weather is great (so great there are tons of other runners out) which helped. The hills still suck though.

Comments: My ability to get back into a reasonable running routine has been woeful the last month or so. My intention was to get at least three or four runs in last week but that didn't happen. I got one in today. I'm just gonna try and get one in tomorrow and we'll see how that goes.

No big issues with this one. I focused on cadence and keeping everything business-as-usual. Not too many folks out to compete with so that really helped my head space quite a bit. It's a bit cooler, and that helped too. But, yeah, fall can't get here soon enough.
