Back to running again- 6 miles at lunch.  Felt like you would expect after 2 full weeks off (my longest break since Christmas 2008).  Gotta clean out the cobwebs from the legs.

Lunch- 2x IITWI obstacle course, hopefully winning both coed and male divisions.  Tiring, especially since this one was longer than recent ones.

PM- PM with Justin and Barry on a perfect night for running- clear skies, bright moon, low 50's.  Good times.  Felt much better than yesterday.  Normal route, 11.5 miles in just over 2 hrs. 

Looks like I'm already over my highest annual mileage ever from 2012.  Might get a few more runs in this year, too.

Nada.  Stayed home with my 4 year old after she had a tooth pulled and got 2 crowns.

Lunch- 7 with Fedor on a cool, windy day.  Cold front moving in.
