1:00 pm: Since I don’t have official practice with my team on Sundays and the runs are normally pretty short (comparatively), I usually don’t plan where I’m going to go and just turn down random streets. I figured I would decide how long the run would be once I gauged how my legs felt after a pretty heavy workload this previous week but I felt very fresh from beginning to end. I ran to Montana, Washington, Georgina (ok, take out two letters and its a state), and Idaho, about a mile and a half from the ocean. I wanted a nice recovery run so I kept the pace slow. Gorgeous sunny 70-degree day with a little breeze and, while I hardly ever listen to an ipod while I run, “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” podcast keeps passerby’s curious as to why I’m laughing when I’m running. Great afternoon 6 mile run in 40:53 (6:48 per mile). Did some relaxed leg swings and high knee drills after I returned. Will run 3 miles later this afternoon with a 4th grader that I run with. He’s a 22:30 minute 5k runner. Pretty impressive stuff for a 10 year old.

Hope everyone’s workout was great and ready for some goal setting as we head into the holiday season. Enjoy the NFL games tonight. Not a crazy Patriots fan or anything but it would be nice to have them beat the Jets. Yeah…I said it but remember, We Are One 365.
