Comments: Still on the mend from this weekend's illness. Coldest run of the year, to-date. Felt fine in double-layers and gloves. Feeling my way through keeping my back straight while running. After about 15-20 minutes, I start to hit my stride, keeping my core stabilized. Back felt fine when I finished, no problems. I did something wrong, tonight, though, because after 25-30 minutes, my right shoulder and right elbow felt tight and mildly sore. Slowing down relieved the soreness. Passed another runner near Mira Loma High School, otherwise the streets were empty of pedestrians. Granted, 8:15-9:00 p.m. is not prime-time for suburban walking, especially in the cold. Weight down to 77.0 kg again; I have lost weight while sick due to lack of appetite. Running in the semi-dark is almost perfect--cool weather, minimal distractions, and minimal visibility (enough to navigate by but not enough to see how far is left to go). Running without water, lately, and so far, no problems. Noticed I ran the ~4.0 miles in ~41 minutes, or 10:15/mile pace. The schedule calls for 30-45 minutes of running. Will think about whether or not to extend the run. The moon is waxing, again. Last night it seemed like just the slightest sliver. Tonight, a cat's eye partially opened.
