Had a lovely run this morning. Finally, shorts and a t-shirt on a morning when you’re supposed to be able to do so. The regular buddies were all otherwise engaged, so my running partner this morning was Ira Glass on the iPod. Life was good.

Finally, a Monday morning run once more. Ran with Ben and Steve, through a very very thick fog that covered the National Mall. Lovely temperature, though.

I really do not understand this bizarre warm winter we’re having. Other than it bodes ill for this summer and beyond. Anyway, the run was just me and Steve; left hamstring still a little sore (I think I’m going to skip Wednesday’s spinning class) but not bad at all.

Last group run for a few weeks… although the group was just me and Steve. I’m out for part of next week, and then once I’m back they’ll be in Jackson, Mississippi for their marathon. We had a nice pace this morning, and hopefuilly I’ll get one or two more runs in before the end of the year. Looking at the weather forecast for where we’re going, though, that might not be an option. We shall see! If not, though, I did at least break 2010’s 635-mile total, as predicted, so that’s good.

Was running late on Monday for our Christmas Eve morning run, and blowing up my Garmin did not help matters. By the time I figured out the answer to the “how do you fix a blank screen after you’ve performed a hard reset?” question (you let it just sit for a day or two for the power to drain, then put it back in the charger and it’ll revive itself) I didn’t have time to hunt for an alternative. So, ran sans any sort of recording device. Which is nice to do on occasion.
