Nice long run today, however it did feel like the middle of Jan not the first part of april this mron. It was 26 degrees as I headed out the door, once I got going it was fine but it was a bit nippy at the begining. I ran with my Brother Clay for a while it was nice to have someone to push me a little harder than I'm used to. Been a great week of training things ae coming along. I have been having some problems with my lower abdominales for about six or seven months. They just get really sore during my longer runs, I double over when I cough because it kind of smarts a little. Not sure what is going on. I did have it checked a few months ago for hernia, Doc said that was not the prob, maybe a strained muscel. Other than that things are feeling good.

Nice workout today, ran with my Son Bryan and we did the extended golf course loop. We had to fight the wind throughout the run with some scatter rain here and thier, but the the temps were very comfy. We also did 6 hill repeats, it was brutal but made for a great run.

Good workout today, ran out to mini gu corner today and back to the hill in the river bottoms. I did 8 hill repeats, push uphill for about 200 meters at 70 to 80% max HR, then jog back down and repeat. My legs are feeling whack at the moment. I also did 25 min on the bowflex, upper body.

Nice recoveru run today after yesterdays hill repeats. My legs did feel better today than I thought they would. I want to top out on this weeks mileage around 45 or 46 miles, I am planning on a 20 miler for sat long run. Did not want to over do things and increas miles to much over a weeks time. I did do the bowflex on my lower body also to work on developing greater leg strength.

I ran out to min gu corner and to the hill coming up out of the river bottoms by my house. I did nine 200 meter hill repeats, pushed hard today and was felling very whack after todays workout. It did feel good to give it a good go today. I did my best.

Very whack legs today after yesterdays hard workout with the hill repeats. Plus the wind was blowing hard and no matter which way I was faceing it was a head wind. With every stride it stripped me of energy. But I hung in there and was able to finish the run. I will take tomorrow off and shoot for a long run on sat.
