8 miles with the dog this morning.  Ramped up another mile per day this week.  8 felt like 7, so I guess it's time to make the leap. 

Did push and sit ups, weights and heavy bag.

Vomero miles 29.

8 mile run with the dog.  I think I about killed the dog this morning.  Its getting warmer and he's got a long coat.  He laid down in the middle of the road with about 1 1/2 miles to go.  I felt bad for the guy.  I guess it's time to shave the winter coat.  With a little encouragement he was able to finish the run.

Push and sit ups, weights, and heavy bag. 

Played basketball for two hours last night as well.

8 miles on the treadmill!!  Such a beautiful and scenic run through the endless rotations of the belt, that echoed the sounds of birds chirping and wind blowing through leaves of trees. 

That's what I try to imagine anyway when I'm on the treadmill.

8 miles with the dog.  Push and sit ups, weights and heavy bag.  My kicks on the heavy bag are really starting to look nice.  I can now deliver a pretty mean kick to the bag above my head.  Maybe running isn't for me.  I think I'll try the UFC!!!

45  miles Vomero.

8 miles outside today.  I decided to stay away from the treadmill this morning.  4 outside 3 on the treadmill this week.  My legs are getting stronger.  Hopefully I can't eliminate the treadmill all together soon. 

A very fast run this morning.  I was pushing so hard towards the end I just about threw up.  My last half mile was all sub 5 minute!!  My training program actually doesn't have me doing any speed until the first of April.  I'm just building miles right now.  I tend to forget every now and again.

Another good week.  Very consistent.  Didn't feel like too much. 

52 miles Vomero.
