12.75 miles easy in the snow with Dave and Jace. It's so much nicer to run with good company than flying solo every morning. 

I'm glad to be home from Indiana. I didn't get as much running in over the last three weeks as I would have liked. But I did the best I could given the time constraints. And hey, I only gained 2-3 pounds after three weaks of eating out for every meal. That's a score in my book; I feared the scale would be much higher. I do need to cut 4-5 pounds before USA Half though in Jan if I want any chance at a sub 1:06. So I got some work to do.

In other news, Pearl Izumi all but cut their local sponsored team. So, I've been looking for a new sponsor. After considering a few potential deals, I settled on Brooks I.D. (Inspire Daily) Elite program. So as of Jan 1st I will be running for Brooks. I'm super excited for this opportunity! Brooks is a very solid running brand with awesome shoes and apparel! 2014 is going to be awesome! So as the Brooks slogan says, "Run Happy"!

You gotta think not wearing shoes made for cyclists or trail runs is worth like 3 minutes in the half marathon, right? :-) so that's like 62-63 in Houston easily, just by switching to Brooks.

Any idea on your shoe? (I always have to ask that very important question)

2-3 lbs isn't bad at all. I can do that in a week when I am injured :) You might find that it bounces back quicker than you think. Vacations, trips, and so on can be mysterious blackholes of weight gain.
