Back from the family roadtrip to Chicago. 8 pounds heavier, and a little bit slower...but all the Chicago food indulgences were worth it! Great time with family and friends.

Ran at lunch alone. 2 miles out and 2 miles back.

5 fast miles before work with Darin and Dave. Brisk - 20 MPH N wind, 38 F.

Darin led, then Dave, then me. Still feeling a little sluggish from all my eating last week, but managed 7:04/mi for the 5 miles.

White Rock Half Marathon on Sunday (12/5). I have no expectations (anything under 1:40 would be great)

AP: 7:04

Ran before work w/ Darin and Dave. Decided to run a fast run (call it tempo, or threshold, or 5Kish pace). Ran out into the wind and uphill, coming back was faster but felt good to have the wind at our backs.

Darin and Dave want to run about 7:00 pace at White Rock Half Marathon on Sunday, and have this crazy idea that I might try to hang w/ them. I might be able to carry 7:00s for a 10K..not real confident about 13.1 miles.
