I ran the 1-hour course today (home to Whole Foods, back over campus). 1:03. Felt wonderful. I love this distance. I felt some discomfort in my left hip during the run, and half-way for a minute or so in my right foot. Clearly I'm still getting back in the rhythm.

If I continue training like this I should be in good shape for the Raleigh Rocks Half Marathon in March.

A new desk.We added a new desk to the study room tonight.

I brought the box up the stairs: 67 lbs, or 30 kg in a big clunky box.

A great time tonight -- 32:09. And 0 weird feeling in either of my knees (previous two runs I felt a tiny bit). Dare I say it... I'm getting back in shape.

It was very cold, 23 degrees and a chilly wind. Glad I now have a long-sleeve undershirt. 29 something until the traffic light.

Did the usual course; 33:56. Not bad! Made it again to the traffic light in under 30 minutes; I'm happy with that. Going up the stairs after the run I felt my knee a tiny bit weird, this time my left. It was really tiny, maybe it's the cold. Didn't feel anything during the run. Should sign up for Raleigh Rocks.

Shiitake mushrooms.Tonight we made shiitake mushrooms with angel hair pasta.

The mushrooms are sauteed in onion, garlic and olive oil, and then made into a nice sauce with wine, chicken stock and some cream.

It's served with a very thin pasta, and topped with Parmesan cheese and some parsley.

I was pleasantly surprised this morning, when I ran our usual course in 33:19 minutes, pretty fast. After Bulgaria our run took me 34:32.

All the way at the end of the run I felt my right knee a little bit weak, and when I felt it when I took a step on our stairs also. Nothing painful, but I felt it. I'm glad I decided against increasing my distance. Let's get some more 3 mile runs behind me before we increase mileage again.
