Today's run was interesting  from the start, as I entered the river bottoms and headed up canal road to the golf course. As I was running through the grove of trees that hang over the road, I noticed something running ahead of me about 20 yards it looked like a dog bur as I got closer it had some silver and light red on it's coat of fur and the tail was very long a bushy. I think it was a fox it ran off the side of the road into the trees, I stopped and looked at it for a while, and it started to do this barking thing at me. Did not sound like an ordinary dog bark, a higher, more like a yipe. Kind of cool anyway, you never know what you will run into when your in the river bottoms.

I did do a full golf course loop today, legs did real good lots of energy. Nice weather agian, overcast but pleasant. I did 25 min on the bowflex, upper body, then finished with 200 crunches.

For my training today I headed out to the base of Harry's Hill and back. Rain at the begining and the sun broke out towards the end. I did try and push a few miles and I did feel okay. It has been a great week of training and I think I am on track so for  what I would like to accomplish in my world of running for the year. I just hope that the running God's will co-operate and not let any major injuries happen, I want to accomplish the Grand Slam this year and hope my body will handle the training, the four marathons. Have a great weekend.

It was nice to see some people on the golf course today. Still a little snow in the areas were sunshine has not taken it's toll. Looks like people were having fun though.

 So needless to say I did the golf course loop today did ok, just kind of tired this week for some reason. I did 25 min on the bowflex and finished with 200 crunches.

Today's run took me on the Golf Course loop, nice weather today low fifties. I did okay, just feel a bit on the tired side today due to less sleep, and longer hours at work the last few weeks. I finished today's workout with 200 crunches.

Nice long run today with pretty decent weather. I went out over Harry's Hill into Salem, down to the Canal Road. Over to little Bro. House, then made my way back to GU Corner. I did a Golf Cousre loop, seen Dad  in the parking lot said hello, but I know he did'nt recognise me. For the most part a very enjoyable run, the wind blew pretty hard for most of the run by the time I was finished I was wore out. Been a great week of training.
