1 Mile:

 On the treadmill:
 0.25 10min/mi
 0.25 8:30min/mi
 0.25 6:40min/mi
 0.25 6:00min/mi

Ran in barefoot just to try it. Also had my cold gear on: sweat pants, 3 shirts, rain gear jacket. Again, just to try it. Tomorrow's going to be the start of the 5K every Sunday with the Ops Lab Team! w00t! Let's see how long we can keep THAT streak! :)

 Did a double today:

 12:30PM Lunch Time run: 5 miles 

 Trail JPL typical lunch time run, but was really hungry at the last mile. This was because I only had a bag of chips and a coke for snack. OK, maybe that's not the best, wisest, or even healthiest thing to do, but man, was I hungry! To finish the afternoon had a huge cafeteria roast beef sandwich.

 8:00AM Morning run to work: 5 miles

12:00PM Lunch Time run: 5 miles 

 I was running in the new year and it hit me after reading this post on reddit /r/running it was time to man up and get serious about my running goals, which directly correlates with my life goals. Without running, I don't know what I would do. It's in my blood. It was written by someone who qualified for the Olympic trials after persevering 1 year of running. Heck if she can do it, I can certainly do a sub 3:30 by the end of 2012.. Yeah. sub-3:30 baby.
