| Now that we finally got the stress of selling our house, and moving to a new home, life is starting to calm down a little bit. I figure we can years to unpack boxes. So hopefully I can get back into a regular training routine and get ready for SGM. The past couple of weeks I have only run about 2 times counting today makes 3. Come Monday I hope to get back into normal mode, what ever normal is anymore. Todays run took me up around the golf course. Just tryed take things easy untill we get back into a regular routine. Felt ok got tired towards the end but that is to be expected after the small layoff. I did 150 crunches and hope to get back into my weight training soon also. will it's time to hang more blinds and mirrors. Yippy skippy. |

Very hot run this late afternoon, I think the hotest one yet. I will go easy the next couple of week until the old mans body gets used to the extra sun rays. I did the loop up around the golf course. Now that we have moved closer to the river bottoms it has taken a little more than a mile off from my regular route. I will have to do some adjusting to bring the milage back into my running routes. I felt pretty good through most of the run, coming back accross the river bottoms the heat started to take it's toll. My total time was 58:32 average pace was a slow 9:20. I ended with 200 crunches. My mile splits are as follows.
Mile 1. 9:16
2. 9:03
3. 9:00
4. 9:31
5. 9:28
6. 9:49 Heat Stroke, Help !!!!!

| Kind of embarrassing today, my legs are fully wacked it was all I could do to make it the 4 plus miles. I guess the two layoff affected me more than I thought it would. we will continue to work back slow. I was able to get in 200 crunches. I will use tomorrow as a rest day, and do a long run on sat. |

| Today is the Boyack Family Reuion up to Lagoon, should be a fun day with the family. So I was able to do an early morn run which fellt alot nicer than the late afternoon. I did the route up canal road to the golf course, which was a couple of miles of good wind resistance. It was blowing pretty hard, and then down power house road, back across the river bottoms to home. I was a little supprised towards the end of my run My wife wendy came running down canal road. I was kind of shocked to see her out running. She gave me one of her tee hee's and carried on with her run. she has been running a couple of miles a day. I proud that she is adding a new exercise to her routine. Well better go get cleaned up and ready to go to were fun is. LAGOON !!!!!! |

| Today was back to the afternoon running, and it was diffenitley a hot one. I figure if I keep going at this rate I should be able to run the Bad Water Ultra Marathon in death valley next month. Ha, Ha, 135 miles of running in a furnace ouch, it's only 130 degrees in the shade. Todays run I could tell a differance from last weeks hot runs. I think my body is starting to get used to the hotter weather. I did'nt feel the heat until the last 1.25 and then I started to feel a little drained. Total time was 1:1140. Won't do my mile splits becasue I kept it slow so as not to have heat stroke. Have a good one, see you tomorrow. |

The air looks alittle on the unhealthly side. I guess it's ok to run in. I also did 200 crunches. No injuries at this point, knock on wood. I will take tomorrow off and hope for a long run sat. see ya then. |

I had to go into work at 2 am this morn, arrived home about 8am put on the running garb and headed out for my long. Todays route took me to the top of harry's hill down through salem, back up power house road, around the golf course and home. It did get a little hot the last 3 or 4 miles but we gutted it out. Wendy road her back the whole way and it was nice to have her encouragement. She even road to the top of harry's hill. She is really turning into a real biker chick. It is nice to have family support in training for a marathon. I ended with 200 crunches.
June has been a weird month. It you would have told me month ago that we would sale our home and buy a new one and move, have a daughter move to Texas, and a grandson have open heart surgery, I would have told you, you are crazy. I can't believe that all that has happend this month. But things are starting to settle down now and we have been witness to alot of tender mercies from the Lord, I have diffenitley noticed His hand in the lives of my family. I testify that He does live and He is real and a part of our every day lives if we will let him in. Hope ya all have a great weekend, catch ya latter. |

| Today was a little short recovery run after sat. long run of 14 plus, I did not feel like really pushing so I took what my body would alow today. I ran up around the golf course and actually enjoyed the wind this morn. It feels like it's going to be a hot one today. I felt good I don't seem to have any real injuries at moment. I will knock on wood for that bit of luck. I will have a reduced milage week this week, I am planing on doing the Freedom Festival 10k on fri. Catch ya latter. |
