I'll be honest: I was really not looking forward to running today. It's very grey, rainy and cold.

But as always; after the run I feel great. Did a short run, my usual early morning run but now at 5.00 pm, and was faster than usual. Ran until just around that corner, the first pole. 33 minutes. It was 37 degrees, raining and dark. Feel great. Soaking wet but my phone is fine.

The first time I went for a run in Somerset on Saturday morning. I did Pierce Street, to fields, back over Elizabeth. Maybe 30 minutes? Haven't run in 4 days, stiff legs. Little bit of a headache -- it's been a long week. But run felt good.

Thursday I went for a run around 5.00 pm. From the office to the wheat field, back over Cedar Grove and Pierce St. Felt great. Back to work after that.

Went for a run Sunday morning in Secaucus. To the Junction and back, along the nice path in Harmond Cove. 50 minutes I think.

Went for a run at work, the first time in the NJ office. Use a course Brian recommended, worked out well.

Had a dinner appointment at 7.00 pm, managed to get a 30 minutes run in between that and work. Was great.

Not sure how long I ran, probably 30 minutes maybe 60, but I definitely went for a run 2 weeks ago on Saturday.

Good run.

Ran with NCRC tonight. Fun group. Did 4 miles on a greenway in Raleigh. Felt good.

Did my favorite course in Umstead for the first time after coming back from vacation. It went well.

45 minutes before the finish it started raining -- pouring with rain. There was no thunder or lightning so it wasn't dangerous, and I really enjoyed it. My shoes got quite heavy after 15 or 20 minutes but there's something great about running in the rain.
