6 TM miles. This is starting to be a bit too routine, just like the boring Deja Vu Bowl coming up in two weeks. I had to run to get rid of the angst from Romney losing South Carolina and both the Ravens and 49ers losing, plus my 13 yr old losing his game Saturday. What's up with all these losses in my life? :)

After a warmup of 1/2 mile I kept it nice and steady at 6.7 and 2% incline. I've got to get my groin muscle checked out. It hurts when I cough and there are lots of Google results for "groin hurts when I cough". Who knew? It could be a few different things but really all I want are some exercises to build up this muscle/tendon/whatever and get the pain to stop. It doesn't hurt once I warm up, but lately it's been hurting just sitting down. Annoying.

Just like my morning cup of Joe, I ran 6 TM miles today. Except I don't drink coffee and I don't drink anything in the morning. But other than that, it's kind of enjoyable. Ran a bit faster today as I needed to make it to the Elementary Geography Bee where my 5th grader was a finalist. After a 1/2 mile warmup ran at 6.9 and 2%. After 4 miles bumped up to a 7.6, then an 8.1 at 5 miles and progressive on up until I ran the last 0.15 at 5:49 pace. That's fun.

My son made it to the final four (he answered one of two questions right, which six kids didn't do) but missed his third question so he sat down and my wife and I left to go to our jobs. A good morning.

Total running time 51:35, AP 8:35. 1X60 plank, bicycle, toe touches. 3X10 curls, squats.

My son's BBall practice was pushed to 7:30 start so I got up early for a run at home, something I haven't done in the morning for a few weeks. 27 degrees with 10 mph or so wind. Dressed fairly well for it - wore the windbreaker which is a cheap one so it doesn't breathe too much, but it does break wind (and so do I - frequently). Felt pretty good, nice to be on roads although treadmill is a bit easier. No undulation on the TM, just nice and steady. Heading out this afternoon for the Boy Scout Klondike Derby. It's always a good time. Planning on getting in 10 miles before lunch.

AP: 8:25
