6-Miles at Work

Fair run today.
I spend a lot of time looking over my running log. With that said, wanta know what I'm excited about today? Those 10:00++ minute miles are slowly fading away. In their place are the occasional high eight minute mile(s). These are the things that make me happy. Oh yeah, the wife and kid make me happy too!

I made another proactive measure to better my running route at work. Today I ran a larger loop, which involves going around the Arson Investigators Office and the Humble Crime Lab. The new route is seven loops for 2 miles rather than the old 10 loops for the same distance (that's 12 less turns per 2-miles). I continue to change directions at the half way point.

My knees are sore, but everything else is fine.

I'm looking forward to Friday, the off-day. Not only will my wife and I celebrate out wedding anniversary, but I have promised her I won't take my food scale, nutritional log book, and caloric value book into the restaurant. No calorie counting, so I'll try to make wise choices and watch the binge eating.
