Bah.

Just drove all the way across town to go for a swim and the gym was closing as I got there. 7 hours earlier than normal closing.

Thanks for posting the change to your hours on your website.

Went for a hike with the dogs instead. That doesn't get to go in the workout log though.

The sweet spot

It used to be that the difference between running too slow and too fast was pretty obvious, and the spread was about a minute per mile. Lately the sweet spot is really tightly confined. It's between about 9:20 and 9:40. What's up with that?

COLD

OK, cold for the Bay Area. Still. Muddy trail was frozen in places. Barely cracked the zipper on the windbreaker.

Not one other person on the trail tonight. Just the dog, the snow, an LED headlamp and This American Life on the iPod.

Beer o'clock soon.

Still running

Not spending much time on the world's least popular blog here though.

First time I've logged in in almost a month. Still getting used to how my regular computer tasks work on a Mac.

Ran tonight instead of bicycling because the weather was threatening. It is easier to cope with on foot than on a bike, given the terrain around here. It did rain, so it looked like the right choice was made. Plus the dog got to go along so he was happy.
