Thanksgiving run - 6 miles

5.8 miles, Bull Mountain, unknown time, Vomero shoes

The last song I listed to on my run...

I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Psalm 40:1-3

Thank you, Lord, for setting my feet upon The Rock.

Treadmill - 4 miles in 35:00 + 2 x .5 mile speed work in 6:30

Drove down to Snap in the middle of our late fall snow storm. Slush bomb. Would have made for a wild OSU/WSU football game yesterday if the system had come in 24 hours earlier. Beavs won and so did the Ducks, setting up the first Civil War in history where the winner goes to the Rose Bowl. Too bad it's at Autzen.

Needed to mix up the workout just a little bit. I always remember how much speed work helped, so I tried one today...modest though it might be.

Listened to this week's episode of twig while on the tread. Cloud computing and the future of computers/media/tech fascinate me, especially since I said yes to the Operations role I'm transitioning into next year. Obvious, but Google is doing some incredibly innovative stuff. I've started using the Chrome browser - simple and speedy as advertised. I'm beginning to comprehend a future where the browser is pretty much all we need. Thus, the Chrome OS.

But back to running...I need to get back outdoors and get a long run in. We'll see if that can be made a reality later this week.

Treadmill - 4 miles in 34:30

I've got to get outside for a longer run soon. Treadmill just isn't doing it for me. Good news is that the cold (or two?) of the last two and a half weeks is just about 100% gone.

Time to do mix it up as to avoid the "Postman's Body Syndrome".

Treadmill - 4 miles in 35:00

Still battling a cold. Hopefully I'm on the tail end so I can get back to a routine. Last three weeks have all been out of the normal with stuff on the work schedule, too.

Listened to a random mix that had a couple of Snow Patrol songs come on. I love their new greatest hits album cover. I had an idea that was similar to it (though not so elegantly executed) for a work project a few years ago that never came to fruition. Maybe it's time to resurrect that project and borrow from this one...

Treadmill - 4 miles in 34:30

Was able to get a run in today after almost a week off due to sickness and a busy schedule at a conference. Lost a little momentum and need to work extra hard to build some back-to-back days up again. Still feeling the effects of a cold.
