I headed out the door this morn at 12:00 noon and the temp was a balmy 13 degrees. It was the coldest running day for me this year, at least the sun was out and it did feel good to get some vitamin D the good old fashion way. I ran out over Harry's Hill into Salem today, then came out by the Stk Center on Canal Rd. The roads were really snow packed but was able to get some good trackion. I then headed back to Gu Corner to Home, all in all it was still a great run evne though we are in the very deep part of winter. The view from top of Harry's  looking over the valley was awesome, we really do live in a beautiful place. It has been a good week of training.

Happy New Year !!!!

Another very cold run this morn. I dressed in full winter running gear today tight's and all. The temp was another balmy 16 degrees a slight warm up from sat 13 degrees. There was also a good breeze coming out of the canyon so I opted not to do a golf course loop today as I new the wind would be blowing harder up that way. So I headed out to harry's hill and back, My legs had good energy today seemed to recover well after sat longer run. I did experiance ice build up my eye lashes today which I have not had before. But for the most part I was warm enough and was still a great run, after the run I did my crunches and hit the big blue foam roller. I have the Painters Half  Marathon coming up on the 22nd of Jan. Should be a good time.

Nice run around the golf course today, warmer temps which helps make it a bit more injoyable. Kind of feeling on the tired side today so we kept things kind of easy. I did 25 min on the bowflex upper body and finished with 200 crunches.

Nice long run this morn, I headed out over Harry's Hill into Salem and came out by the Stk Cntr. on Canal Rd. Then back to Gu Corner recharged with some sports drink and did a Golf Course loop. My legs hung in there good did get kind of tired the last mile but ground it out. Be a great week of training and another great run.

It was about 10 degrees colder for todays run around 13 which made for a very brisk run. I ran out to Harry's Hill, stopped about a mile short and turned back. My face was frozen and I just felt cold all over, Pushed hard coming back so was able to mix some speed work in. I did 25 min on the bowflex again and finished with 200 crunches. Starting to do some leg lifts for the lower tummy and it is a bit on the sore side.

Nice long run today, I headed out to little Bros. house in Salem hopping to run into him along the way. He was at gu corner, so I ran to his house and back. It was good to have the company today. Made for a very injoyable run, I did feel pretty good most of the way and hope that I am ready for Painter's Half next week. We shall see.
