The air was a bit on the gunggie side so I stayed indoors and did the tredmill for an hour. I'm still not feeling the greatest from my ill of the past 10 days but I am getting there. I finished off todays work out with 25 min on the bowflex working on my core.

Ok so I'm done with snow and this winter, ready to move south and become a bum. At least I will be a warm bum. So today I ran out to harrys hill and back, the roads were snowy again which made it hard to gain very good traction. My legs where done when I reached harry's. I am not ready for next weeks half marathon I will just go and do the best I can.

The first 7 miles  of this course is a gradual uphill climb, I feel good about my effort in this half. My training was not as well as I would like do to the very cold temps and air quality here at home. I have spent a lot of time on the treadmill and ran outside when things are decent. I ran this race with my son Bryan and my Brother Clay. They made a very fun a memorable experience.

I am hoping to get back into a better routine this week. Today I did golf course loop, the weather was wonderful with the new snow that feel during the night. The air was clear and clean finally. Very enjoyable run. I finished with some crunches and hit the big blue roller.
