Very cold today about 18 degrees with a very cold wind coming out of the north east . I ran the bishop storehouse loop today, It was good to get out and get it done even though it was cold. I did 25 min on the bowflex and 200 crunches.

Another very bold run today about 18 degrees and enough wind to make it even seem colder. I did a golf course loop it was still a great run with the cold and I was able to see about 12 head of deer next to the road, kind of made it interesting.

Warmer today than has been for a few, in the med to upper 20's which means it's a shorts day. I ran out past little Bro's mini gu corner and back. I am feeling good and hope to do a long run on sat if the weather holds. I did 25 min on the bowflex and worked the upper body then ended with 200 crunches.

Nice long run today it was good to get out and run for a while. I went out over harrys hill, then into salem and came down by the stk center on canal road. My legs did good today and I think they have healed up nicely from the half marathon of a few weeks ago.

As I arrived home from work this afternoon I could tell the weather was going to change fast as a very fast moving cold front was getting ready to come through. So I went ahead anyway and made the run work. It was very windy by the time I made the turn at the golf course it was begining to rain hard and then it turned to hail. It was stinging my face hard as I made my way down power house road. It was still a fun run and I did mt best to just embrace the elements. It was actually fun. I did 150 crunches after the run and then hit the blue roller.

Beautiful day with some very nice afternoon temps, I did an exended golf course loop today took the little trail that is above the course was some snow in a spot or two, but for the most part it was clear. It did have some good sized rocks on it so you kind of had to watch your footing. I came home did 25 min on the bowflex and finished with some crunches.

Another nice day for a run, well every day is a nice day for a run. But todays weather was very nice again, ran in shorts and short sleeve shirt it was great. I ran out past mini gu corner to my 3.5 mile marker and then back. I did feel like pushing the tempo a bit today and was able to hang in. Sorry no pace times those are for my eyes only because a snail has been known to run faster than I can. I did another 25 min on bowflex with some upper body core work. Then I hit the blue roller for a bit.

Holy Hurricane Batman, how can anyone run in this wind? Well I hung in there and was able to make a golf course loop. The wind was at my back for about half the run and then the other half was running into it. Was slow go for the most part but still a great run.

My legs are feeling real whack today so I kept things on the easy side today. I did the Old Bishop Storehouse route with some graduale to flat downhill and uphill. Nice weather for a run the best this week, sounds like things will go downhill weather wise for the rest of the week. We will just try and hang tuff.

Today my legs were feeling good the foirst few miles so I made the decision to try and get in a good long run today. I went up over harrys hill into salem and came out by the stk center. Headed back to gu cornoer and did the golf course loop to home. Nice morning even though I had to put up with a few snow showeres here and there. I would rather run in snow than rain. It has been a good week of training, feeling good at this point.
