Week 1

Total Miles: 31

Monday, 12/15: Ran down Sunset to Capri and back, 10 miles round trip. I haven't ran along sunset for a while but I liked it more than I remember. It was a more flat course than i remember... thats a good thing.

Tuesday, 12/16: Drove to the Santa Monica Mountains and did a run along a fire road to an old cold war era radar tower, 8 miles round trip. Didn't feel bad, earned a great view of all of LA.

Wednesday, 12/17: Ran UCLA perimeter (5 miles) in the rain. Wore my 3.0's and felt good. Went a little hard for the last 1.5 miles or so.

Thursday, 12/18: Ran 70 minutes with Mark, Dennis, and K-way. Mark pushed the pace.

Nth revival

After a weekend of fun and drunkenness and running in Pasadena, I realized that it is in fact the aspect of a team thats really prevented me from getting the same pleasure out of running. Knowing that I feel able to at least maybe get around whats missing or give an attempt at fixing it. Either way I've been running these past few days and it feels great. After doing a nice 10 on Saturday with Ian, Mark, Goose and Dennis I did an easy 5 on sunday followed by a medium 10 today (just out and back on Sunset blvd.). After running in the arroyo saturday morning I also feel a need to find some new places to run out here. I really only have about three runs I do with any regularity (UCLA perimiter, laps at a nearby park, and Bel Aire Hills) and two more (Beach and Back, and San Vicente) I do less frequently. Thus I'm going to try venturing into the santa monica mountains to find some good trails to tread.
