Moderate run, 6:55 am, 50° F, 29% humidity, wind 5 S. I woke up naturally at about 5:00 this morning and I should have gotten up and run then, but I stayed in bed and went back to sleep. I finally got up and got dressed to run an hour later, but then I got sucked into the kids' needs vortex. When I finally made it out the door I was really pressed for time, so I did a short run and pushed the pace the whole way. I had to stop at one point to tie my shoe lace. I paused my watch and realized about a1/10 of a mile after I started running again that I hadn't. So my stats are a little off. I estimated up the distance by 1/10, but the paces are based on the shorter distance. AP: 9:03. Splits: 9:43, 8:58, 0.81 @ 8:18. P.S. I saw Barbie out walking.

| Easy run with unpremeditated progression. 5:35 am, 45° F, 38% humidity, wind 6 SW. I thought I'd take advantage of the recent "fall back" and try to make the switch to early morning running. I smelled the bacon cooking at IHOP and the coffee from Starbucks. I expected the donuts from Lamar's, but I must not have been there at the right time. AP: 9:34. Splits: 10:02, 9:43, 9:24, 9:05.

| Easy run with slight progression. 5:37 am, 30° F, 85% humidity, winds calm, light mist. This was a relatively pleasant run. After the run I rode to seminary. That is to say, Thing 2 was the driver and I was the passenger giving instructions. This was his second time driving (the first was yesterday) and the first time to go out of the neighborhood. But he didn't have to spend much time on the busy streets. It struck me yesterday how when my kids were little I had to potty train each one in succession, and now that they're old, it appears that I need to teach each one to drive in succession. I actually sent Thing 2 to a $500 drivers ed class, and they will take him driving, but I need to get him comfortable with the car first and I have to drive with him for 50 hours, besides the driving he does with the instructor, in order for him to get his license. On the whole, I would say that potty training is more frustrating. But the stakes are little higher with driving, particularly in terms of the cost of accidents. AP: 9:40. Splits: 9:53, 9:44, 9:38, 9:23.

Easy run. 6:06 am, 23°F, 80% humidity, winds calm. We were having such a lovely warm autumn, and then all of a sudden it got cold. But hey, I made it out four days this week already and it's just Friday. Maybe I'll get out tomorrow at make it five for the week. At least I've got two weeks in a row of 4 days/week. That's better than I've done in a long time. I figure if I can get back to being consistent, then I'll start increasing mileage. Right now I'm content with keeping it short if that's what it takes to get me out the door. Oh, and I ran with Lindsay today. Because it's Friday. And Thing 3 ran three miles on his own yesterday afternoon. But now his knee is hurting him, so I don't know what to make of that.
AP: 9:29. Splits: 9:38, 9:23, 9:37, 9:26, 0.5 @ 9:16.
