Decide to try a small run today, my plan is to build back easy. the calf did good today, legs are still a little whack from sat 14 miler. I went out to GU Corner and back it was a little windy and on the cool side. Just a taste of what is to come for the next 7 months. I did 25 min on the Bowflex upper body and finished with 200 crunches.

This morn got to help out a Scout on his Eagle Scout Project down at the baseball park painting dugouts. Good turn out lots of help from the ward, I did a run down to the ballpark a 6 plus miler round trip. So I was able to kill to birds with one stone sort of speak. Nice morn morn for a run, fall temps are here and it feels good. The training this week has been ok despite the injuriesIi have had in the past month or so. My calf was not an issue again today so I think I will pronounce myself healed. It has been good to have back to back runs this week even though it is only three days we will try full a full week next week. Have a great weekend .

Nice run with great weather, it will go down hill and tomorrow but should be good the rest of week. My leg did good today and I enjoyed the run. It is starting to be fun again now that the injuries have subsided. I did 25 min on my upper body with the Bowflex. and finished with 200 crunches. I wonder if I can lose 15 or twenty before spring? We'll see.

It was a colder day today but it was still a great run. It is always good to be outside. I did a little bit more today and the old body did okay. I did some strength training on my upper body and did about 200 crunches.

The run was a little bit warmer today, although the wind made it feel cold. But it was still a great run. I did full golf course loop today have not done that since before the marathon. it felt good to go a little longer today.

Nice run today probably the last warm one for awhile as the weather is going to go to winter tomorrow. I did feel good today through the whole run I guess it was a runner's high, I have not felt that good for awhile. I will take those days when I can get them. I did do 25 min on my Bowflex upper body, and finished with 200 crunches.

Wow I had to get out the winter running gear for my afternoon run. It was snowing blowing and cold, I do not like winter very much but it is here and now we have to deal with it. My run took me on a golf course loop today kind of had tired legs but it was still a great run. I did 25 min of Bowflex on my upper body and finished with 200 crunches.

Another nice run today I did the golf course loop it was cold again and with the north wind if went right to the bone. You gotta love the fours seasons in Utah or else move. I think I would like San Diego a lot.

Had a little bit of spark in the old legs today, it felt good to take a day off yesterday and to let them recharge for a little longer run today. I went out to the base of Harry's Hill and back over dressed the weather was nice this morn. Could of done without the bennie and gloves. It was a great run and very enjoyable. Been a pretty good week of training. See what next week brings.
