A Weeks worth of Blog Posts= I've carved out enough niches in my schedule for Running but not necessarily Blogging...
Monday, Jan 3
~5 miles
Un-GPS
Rap Tunes in Lamar
Easily done for the first run in a week in a half. It was the first day to run in my new electric cobalt Nike Lunarglides--good stability and I no longer can feel each individual rock I step on. It was very much time for new kicks.

Gym Work- Weight Training and Cycling
After a potentially painful run and Massage 1, I needed to give the muscles a break. Used "The Stick" (I call it the Ugly Stick) to work the lactic acid out of my old, tired muscles. AWESOME! Next day, no soreness.

5.15 miles
Rap Tunes in Rockport
Really rough run. Difficult to get back into the rhythm. Quads were burning in Mile 1. Possibly resulting in the afternoon timing---better runs in the morning.
Thursday, Jan 6
~3 miles
Alternative in Rockport Beach Park
The first run in my new Nike Free shoes. Due to the no-stability, little-cushion, totally-new-running-feel nature of these shoes, I will only be wearing them on short interval runs or recovery runs. They allow the runner a more "natural" barefoot-esque running feel. What I remember most: serious calf workout. When you are used to running heel-toe and suddenly transition to the ball-of-the-foot, barefoot running, prepare for screaming calves. A Strong Positive: at the end of my Nike+ workout, Lance Armstrong congratulated me on my fastest mile. NEW PR!

Alternative Tunes down Water Street
Long, easy run. I love an early morning, long run that feels like you could keep going forever. It's also always nice to see the early sun peak through the clouds.

SO SLOW & LAME
Alternative Tunes in Lamar
Off tempo this day. Very sore quads. Desparately needed to use the Ugly Stick after my 7 mi run. LESSON LEARNED.
