Ran slow with Paige for three of the miles. Along the beach was pretty crowded, so we took it easy and chatted.

Maui, HI 7:45am

Longest run in a long time. I took off down the beach path and passed a few slow runners. Glanced back and this guy I had passed a while back was still on my butt. Dang, I didn't know we were racing. So I picked up the pace and pushed it until he turned off. I went down the road almost to Big Beach and turned back.

Paige got sick last night, so she didn't run. I just did 5 on the same route I'd been running before.

I got sick in Hawaii and didn't run the rest of the time there. I'm feeling better, so I thought I would give it another shot. Bad idea.

I cut the run short and by the time I got home I felt like I had sprinted a mile. My chest was burning. I guess I'm not well yet.

Thought I'd give it another shot this morning. Only went three. Didn't feel as horrible as I did on Saturday, but didn't feel good either.

At this point, with the two injuries and then the flu, I think I'm in the worst shape I've been in over 5 years. As soon as my health is 100% I've got a lot of work to do.

Or, maybe I should just find a new hobby. Maybe something like watching tv.

GJ got lots of snow last night and I forgot to bring my Yak Traks. I took it easy and only fell once. I'm thinking about running again tonight. I need to up my mileage, but haven't felt up to running very far at once yet. Still hacking stuff up every run.

I decided to go out again, mainly because it was 18 degrees and that sounded a lot better than the 1-degree predicted for the morning. I got a little lost, but only went about a half-mile out of my way.

Left work an hour early and got a few miles in before the bitter cold set in. Same route as last night except I didn't get lost this time.

Had to finish in time to watch the Cougars put the hurt on San Diego State.

Took the usual 7-mile route in reverse direction. I thought about taking a loop around the park to get up to 7 miles, but I got tired.

Sucking wind lately. Part of it was that I ran too late without eating breakfast. Part of it is that I'm in lousy shape.

Not even the power of waffles could save me today. I ran over to Meridian Road, up through the construction. down Pine and through the park to home.
