Ran 5 miles on a less-than-ideal treadmill as part of a work trip. Would have rather run outside but it’s dark before we start and after we finish for the day, plus there’s not much in the way of places to run outside where the conference center is located. Ah well.

Ran the Jingle All The Way 5K, the first time in a while that I’ve done any sort of jingle bell type run. It was the same course as last year’s Thanksgiving 5K, and in the end I ended up finishing a whopping 1 second slower than that. I’d pooped out a bit about a third of the mile from the end, which is frustrating since that’s normally when I get a nice adrenaline kick. Ah well!
After it was over, I ran another 5 miles with Armand and Steve (both of whom also ran the race), which was perfectly pleasant.

I consider it a good run if the second segment is under 10:00 min/mile. Sometimes I just hit it. Other times I just miss it.

Accidentally left my running shoes in the other room, but fortunately had my old shoes still on hand. Which is why, if you’re looking carefully, you will see the lack of an update to the “current shoes” total.

Skipped Wednesday’s run on account of needing sleep and the Monday morning issues. Decided I’d run on Thursday, but in the back of my head was the worry about needing to not stray too far from the car. Ended up making bad selections on running clothes — a little colder and damper than I’d planned for — so scratched the outside run and regretfully continued on to the gym. Managed five miles on the hated treadmill before I had to call it quits on account of overheating.
