| Easy run with David from Creekmore. Cold, getting colder, and very windy -- into our faces on the return leg. Averaged slightly under 10:00 pace. Very sore after weekend of moving.

| Twelve on the mill at work with 8 at MP or faster. Felt pretty comfortable. Too many interruptions from the pager, but otherwise a very good run which kicked in some endorphins.

| Slow 8 on the mill, as steady as my pager would allow :(

| Ten on the mill, amazingly interruption-free (or limited interruptions anyway). Cranked out the last half mile at MP+, and threw in a mile of two of gradual uphill in the middle. Felt pretty good actually.

| Progression run on the mill while Liza took care of the hyperactive pager. Cranked it up to MP plus for the last 11 minutes or so.
Did a lot of thinking as I ran too, as I have been for the last couple of days. It's not going to work with Jen, largely because she doesn't want it to work. I still care about her but I need to move on. Fortunately, I'm connecting with Dianne, who is available and, more importantly, interested. I'm excited about that, and so is Dianne. So I'm looking forward to a rapid transition to the next phase of my social life. I've been trying to get with Jennifer for weeks to talk about where we are (or aren't) and can't even do that. If I have to cut it off by text, that's what I'll do, but I'd rather not.

| The marathon pace mileage is a guess. I got interrupted so often during the treadmill run that I'm not sure. Not even certain of total mileage because the mill somehow reset itself without stopping at somewhere around 3.3 miles. So I did another hour, with much beeping and associated expletives, after that reset.Legs felt good after two days off but the rest of me was very sleepy. Still am. After work went down for the marathon start and wound up getting interviewed on Channel 5. I'll check the website later to see if its up there. Got to see a lot of friends this morning. I almost wished I were running. Almost. |

| Morning run of uncertain pace and speed since the Garmin died after mile 3 (hadn't been charged in a week). I know it was sub-10, but not how much sub-10. I was trying to push it a little. Clock time (about 2:04) not real helpful because of several waits to cross Rogers, Zero, Phoenix, etc. But it felt like a decent effort.
Shower and sleep now, then up for Fayetteville for women's hoops and first date with Dianne. She's been funny about it, acting like a goofy teen instead of a 49-year-old grandma. But I guess in some ways she's that 13-year-old kid who had a crush on me way back when. Fortunately I'm a little more self assured than the 17-year-old oblivious subject of that crush.

| Quite a week. Got dizzy Sunday afternoon, which we finally decided was due to Cialis. Then I got sick. Coughing up brown/green stuff, felt miserable, probably triggered by the asthma attack last week. Finally felt like running last night, and got in 15K on the mill after work this morning with some hard stuff at the end. Pretty good level of fitness for taking a week off; hard stuff wasn't bad. Now I'm in a hard nine-weeks mode again. Just like 2009. Hope it works out the same. I'm a lot happier now though. Things are going very, very well with Dianne. We both care a lot about each other, and the relationship is deepening. Which is a good place to be for running and for life.

| After a day off for ice, snow (and sleep), back at it this afternoon for an easy 8. Still around freezing but the sunshine had just about melted everything. No ice to negotiate at all

| After a day off for a pity party after Dianne decided she's not ready for a relationship right now, back on the mill at the hospital to hammer 10+ with 10K at 7.6 mph. Went pretty well, I thought; held 7:53 without much difficulty. Wish I could say the same about my love life, where there is nothing but difficulty.

| More snow at the Casa and didn't want to risk running on the streets, so I drove to SHS and did 36 laps on the track in the screw shoes. Not a slip to be had. Snowed the whole time, but lightly. I kept a fairly constant 10:15ish pace; still kinda sore from last night's tempo run on the mill. Driving home was kind of interesting, even though I avoided Cliff Drive in favor of Old Greenwood, Rogers and Burnham, Still lots of slippage. I really need to get chains for the old Bimmer.
