Week 11

10/21/12 - High 60's today!  Jess & I rearranged the basement (again) to fit in the beverage fridge, cabinent, and wine cooler.  Wine cooler won't fit and countertop is too small :(  Jess = unhappy.  Hopefully we'll get this fixed by the Halloween par-tay this Sat!  Ran 1.0

10/22/12 - Added a mile to my route.  9.36m total.  Tired at the end, but not terrible.  However my foot hurts so much now I can hardly walk and my knee is sore and doesn't want to work right, but doesn't exactly hurt.  Both on my right side.  Great!

10/24/12 - 4 x 1600, total 7.5m

10/25/12 - First ultrasound!! Ran 2.0 + lift

10/15/12 - Took the day off with Jess to rest.  Worst run I've had since I started this.  Simply could not make my body work right, I think the 22 hours of sitting in the car over the weekend are the cause.  Ran 6.25
