Clyde's Comeback!

Good day. Woke up in Torrey and had Christmas morning with my family then at 10am we drove the 3 hours back to STG and had Christmas with Mik'L's family at around 2pm. Went home around 5pm with our mega stash and I got in a quick 3 miles on the treadmill before we went back to the in-laws house to play games.

I did my water tank loop around 11am and hope to get some more in this afternoon.

My wife gave me a Garmin for Christmas and I've been dieing to run with one. I was really pleased with how close my loop was just from using Google Earth to measure the distance. After my run my "Tool" said I had run 7.08. So I'm looking forward to measuring all my little runs around my house to see how close they are.

6.5 more miles tonight up around Green Spring golf course.

Ride p.m.

This run on the treadmill was only 7 miles but if felt like 17 outside. 49:58

The last half mile was at 2% grade.

To cold and rainy all day to talk myself into going out, although I wanted to go use my new toy.

I did a version of my old "Big loop." Up to the powerline trail. Then over to where the trail meets the Millcreek road- From there I ran up and back to the water house and then down to Green Spring golf course. Then made my way back home.

I wore some trail shoes that are not as light as other shoes, and they picked up alot of mud off the trail that made them even more taxing to lift. I'm starting to love the garmin. Just being able to take off any direction with no worries is nice. I wore the heart rate part today.

Ave heart rate was 164

Yes I'm out of shape.

Took my car in to get some things done so I left from the dealership. Ran from Blackridge up the hill and down into Bloomington and around the loop. Then I went under the freeway and into Bloomington Hills around Webb Hill. I went back up the bike trail over to river road and then took the other trail back down the river to the Dixie Center and then over to Blackridge.

HR 163

Good run this morning with the STG Running Club. First half was pretty slow. It was real cold and was hard to get going. Picked up the pace the last couple miles to see if I could even run any more.

I put two and two together and came up with- Cold mornings= Slow hard runs.

Glad to put together a pretty good week.

HR- 148 (a lot lower than last couple of days?)
