AM - 4.0 easy untimed miles before church.  Got a solid night of sleep after returning late yesterday afternoon from Japan.   Was extremely fatigued and sleepy by the afternoon and did not get a second run in.

AM - a poor night of sleep had me up at 4:30 am unable to return to sleep due to jet-lag issues and problems with my sleep cycle - and so I was really not in the mood to run, but decided to go out around 6 am to get some air.  Actually had a pretty decent untimed 4.5 miles of running before work.  I am hoping to run later in the day if my schedule permits.

PM - was able to go out for a late lunch and did 6 quick miles on the treadmill, mostly at 8.5 mph with the last mile at marathon pace.  Felt oddly, good.

PM - 8.0 miles around Feathersound and Carillon at lunchtime.  Weather was nice and although the run was decent, I was not really mentally motivated to run today - still probably adjusting to the timezone.

PM - on a day that I was not particularly motivated to run, I had a pretty good workout on the treadmill.  I started out very easy but within less then a mile I was running 7:15 pace and found myself running marathon pace to better the last 3-4 miles and feeling pretty solid doing so.  Covered just under 9 miles in an hour.

PM - had to go a dentist appointment nearer to my home than to my office around lunchtime, so I went home after the cleaning and then did my run from there before heading back to the office.  Very pleasant run.  Was using the iPhone Runkeeper app - which had some features I should have known about when I was traveling the last couple of months.  It has an integrated camera with google maps and an auto pause feature.  So you can stop, take a picture and then continue to run.  When you get finished with the run and post it to the Runkeeper site, it shows the google map of your route and places the photos on the map where you took them.  In this case it was a photo from my home and the old Chimp farm (officially called the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary) along the Pinellas Trail.  http://runkeeper.com/user/bjardine/activity/62961780

AM - finally got what I consider a full night of sleep, post jet lag/time zone adjustment.  Woke too late to get much a run in - so I just went out to stretch my legs a bit for 3 untimed miles.  Have my department's Christmas party this afternoon - so unlikely to get another run in today.
