We lost our basketball game by 3 points today. I was actually happy with the results. We were actually ahead by 6 the first half. I had numerous steals and jumpballs, and made over half of my three point shots. I had a lot of fun. At one point a guy on the other team said "that guy is everywhere". I like getting in their heads. If I were taller I could have played college ball. Actually that's not a very good reason. I probably would have played regardless, but I ended up in art school. I'm glad it worked out that way. I love art and it has given me many opportunites and opened my eyes to things in the world I wouldn't have noticed.

 So the game was fun although we lost. After that I went on the treadmill for 6 miles at a normal pace. Not really pushing, just a steady state run to get some miles in for today. This week will start the guys workouts at track. I think I've got them doing 1200's tuesday, and 400's thursday. Not real sure I'm about to check over the schedule in a minute. Tommorow is an easy day, I'll probably run with the guys, then head off on my own.

My goal this week is to run everyday. For me that means putting up 8 a day since that is where I feel like I've worked out. I hope to push that up past 10 as often as possible. Also in that respect I hope to get in some doubles. That means waking up early. I'm not an early riser. I enjoy getting up early, but normally it results in lack of sleep since I'm a light sleeper and have trouble falling to sleep. Hopefully I'll get into a groove. I'm working now on just getting to bed at a consistent time, then once a routine begins I'll work in running.

Good luck on the early runs. I just started trying to do that at least once a week.....I hate running early in the morning, but feel great once I'm done and realize I already have half my days workout done.
