Happy New Year to all, I hope 2009 is a great year for everyone. For me 2008 was a great year, had some exciting things and not so exciting things happen. All in all it was a great year.

For my run today I went up around the golf course it was warm and a little on the windy side up around the canyon. As I came across the treeline road the elk were in closer, 4 nice bull elk. I could see the horns on all 4. Well gotta goin spend some time with the family, it should be a great day.

Still not feeling very well with my cold, but I needed to get outside for a run today. Very slow and easy just tryed to get it in and enjoy. I did see a big herd of elk in the riverbottoms. My guess about 50 to 75 head and a big bull. It was kind of cool to see. I did get in some core strenghtening also, and finished with 200 crunches. I hope tomorrow My cold is feeling better.

My cold is still hanging on, all though it is no worse. My run today took me up around the golf cours, the roads were alot better today a few snowed packed areas but for the mosr part snow free. The sun was out nice and brite and I only needed one layer and a vest. I ran in shorts today, kind if weird with a couple of feet of snow on the ground. It was nice and comfy run today. I did see the herd elk again they werefurther east and just west of the golf course today. I should be pulling out of this cold in the next day or two,cross my fingers.

Not as warm as yeaterday but still nice weather for a run. I did the bishop storehouse route today kind of felt a little on the sliggish side, but a very enjoyable run non the less. The elk are still in the river bottoms, not as many though. My cold is still hanging on just more of a hassel than anything. I am on the 7th day of having it so hopefully in the next couple I should notice a great improvement. It has been a great day and another great run.

I did not see any elk or deer which kind of stinks I don't no were they all went there is still lots of snow so I know that they did'nt go back up into the hills. I guess they are hideing somewhere. I finished todays workout with 200 crunches.

Nice run today up around the golf course and the nice part about it I was able to run in shorts again. The snow is melting although it is real slow at going away. After all it is only the middle of January. I finished todays workout with 200 crunches.

Nice run today a little on the cold side, I don't like this time of the year much you get the inversions and it makes the air kind of on the yuckkie side. It has been bad this week. I did the golf course route today, and the elk were back again just below the golf course on the RR ranch. Not as many as a week ago but still way cool to see. My legs felt good today and had lots of energy. Felt like pushing it the last few miles. I finished the workout today with 200 crunches. I would like to get a long run in tomorrow, we well see how it goes. Have a good one.

The inversion and the fog are getting very old quick. I want spring in a real bad way, I don't know if running in this bad air is good for me but I can't stand to do the eliptical. I did the golf course route today, thought that if I stayed up by the mouth of the canyon the air would be better, it's not as bad but still pretty murky. I did see the elk again today, they were a little closer to the road. They are sure neat to look at. There were also some deer running around today. That's why I like running in the river bottoms ya never know what you will see. I finished todays workout with 25 min of core strengthining, and ended with 200 crucnhes. It was a great run and another great day. Just livin the dream.

I decided to forgo outside running today due to the really bad air. They say we have the worst air in the country right now. Excercing out doors for an hour is the eqivelant of smoking two packs of smokes a day. I can feel it in my throat today. So I did the eliptical and finished with 25 min of core training, folowed by 200 crunches.

I think the air might of been a little better today, besides I could'nt stand it any longer I need to go for a ouside run. I did the the golf course loop again today and the temp was real comfy. I ran in shorts, and a long sleeve top with a vest, perfect running conditions temp wise anyway. I did see the elk again just west of the golf course, looked like they have moved in for a while. Finished todays workout with 25 min of core training, and 200 crunches. No injuries at this point I hope that the injury bug will stay away. I have a 10k coming up in march, so we want to stay injury free.

Todays I did the bishops store house in reverse, the first 2.66 mile mostly down hill. The rest were slight uphill the legs did feel a little whack today. I think the skiing from the other day starting to take it's toll. It was a little bit warmer today which helped make it enjoyable. it was a great run and a great day. I did 25 min of core training and finished with 200 crunches.
