Notes	OBJECTIVE 8 mi. Back in Houston and reacquainted myself with a bayou path from the Cypress Creek YMCA. It was a decent run in comfortable temperatures (although occasion light mist). Bad news as later in the afternoon I injured my left knee playing basketball with the Martinson's. Not certain of the severity but it's not good.

Notes	OBJECTIVE 5 mi.@ 8:00-9:00/mi. It wasn't as cold as I thought it was going to be this morning. I felt pretty good and think I attribute some of that to yesterday's stretching and stengthening routine. While running, reviewed this afternoon's presentation to the Board.

Notes	OBJECTIVE 6 mi. easy 18 weeks until Boston. Thought about that a lot during this morning's run in cool winds off the lake. Classic winter running situation - underdressed for the first 1.5 miles; overdressed for the rest .... As a cooldown, my automatic garage door didn't open with the keypad so I played cat bugular, scaled a fence and broke into my building. No sirens yet ... so far so good. Or should that be a general warning about the safety and security of my building ... ???
