Hi All,

Sunday, January 6th to Saturday, January 12th: 23.75 miles

I ran third times this week keeping to an every other day schedule. I am keeping my pace somewhat constant while I slightly up my mileage.

Monday: about 7.5 miles, 56F, calm winds, no stops.
Wednesday: 7.25 miles, 50F, 20 to 40 mph west wind (which knocked me around), 8:58 pace.
Friday, 9 miles, 40F, light wind, no stops, 8:30 pace.

I have been scrapping off the wallpaper in David's room. It was a slow process which took five days of steady effort. I know how to peel wallpaper. Now it's just another room. It's just a matter of spackling, priming, painting and pulling the rug ... then this room will be done.

On the job front, I have an interview with Cornell University down in Ithaca on Monday.

I used my $5 Dunking Donuts gift certificate that I won at the Newark Turkey Day 5 Mile Race to buy a dozen donuts for Michael and myself. Yum!

Keep running, Doug
