Nov 10 Sun 13.00 1:44:34 0:08:03 Beach strand long run was tough, I'm nowhere near the "running shape" I used to be in.  Last night's pizza probably didn't help!  I didn't stop my Garmin watch during the run.

Nov 17 Sun 9.02 1:10:35 0:07:50 Morning long run in asics Piranha:  I cut the run short because of digestion issues during 2nd half of the run.  Probably because I didn't allow enough time between my pre-run meal and starting time.

Dec 08 Sun 10.00 1:20:25 0:08:02 Running is always a fun way to learn the area but can be dangerous too - I had a nasty ankle twist at mile 4, but shook it out and continued on. I'm sure it'll be sore tomorrow. I ran out to the LB Airport and back.
