Gorgeous, gorgeous morning… 67 degrees! (Alas, we haven’t had our first sighting of a 6am shirtless runner yet.) Also, after years of running in the Brooks Addiction (and 14 years of Brooks in general) I’ve tried out a new pair of shoes: the Saucony Omni 12. So far, so good.

Took two weeks off after my race to let my left Achilles tendon (which was bothering me a bit) rest up and heal. Monday’s run was on a treadmill in case I needed to bail, but no real problems. Wednesday’s was back with Steve and Ben, and I was definitely feeling a tiny bit out of shape but overall not too bad. I appreciated the 46 degree weather if nothing else! So much better than 26 degrees…

Back for a morning run w/ Ben and Steve! There were a couple of slicks of ice on the sidewalk where some melting snow had refrozen, but not too bad in terms of conditions. Hopefully the warm weather of the next few days will wipe out most of the rest of it.

I’d hoped to get an outdoor run on the weekend while in LA, but events conspired against me. Ah well. For treadmill runs, at least, not too bad.

If all goes well, heading to a slightly warmer climate later this week for a few days. Which will be nice, because boy was this morning cold once you factored in the wind chill…

Have you ever felt like a month is going to be a lot of treadmills? That’s this month. (Although in this case it was partially for convenience so that I could work in a run between work and seeing Richard III last night.)
