Things you see while out running are interesting. Beacause of the wind again today I tryed to run as much with it to my back. So I run down senic then up canal road from the Bishops Storehouse. I seen a couple of dead cats, a dead water snake, can't believe there out already. Then up from the storehouse somebody dumped a bunch of dead rabbit's off the side of the road which were really giving off a lovely riverbottoms aroma. Yesterday I ran out towards Harry's Hill and on the Power House Road there is a wonderful dead Deer carcus, that one sent me into the dry heaves. The river bottoms are a lovely place this time of year. Anyone would like a tour, it usually starts each day around 4 pm. Brochures are forth coming. Be sure to book your reservation early.

My legs felt a little better today, but they are still in the wack mode. I hope tomorrow they will do better. They did feel better running uphill than down or on the flat. Kind of weird. I won't post my times today as they are rather on the slow side. Average pace was 9:33. All in all I feel like the training is coming along. We will just keep building slowley. I also did 30 min. of upper body weight training, and 300 crunches. See ya tomorrow.

Yeah I'm glad I mostly run these roads in the dark. Guess I should be happy I've never tripped over anything dead.
