his weeks weather will be perfect for running. Today was real nice back to the shorts and sleeveless shirt. It felt good to just enjoy the golf course loop today. I ran into  a few deer just off the side of the road it's cool to be able to run in the river bottoms and see the wildlife. I did 25 min on the Bowflex, then finished with 200 crunches/

Nice run around the golf course legs did feel good after three days of rest. I would like to try and get in five days this week, may be difficult as this will be a busy week. I did 25 min on the bowflex to try and keep the upper body strong, then finished with 200 crunches and 15 min on the eliptical.

Winter has finally arrived here in the Rocky Mts. I woke up to a snow storm and cold temps. went back to bed thought I was having a real bad nightmare. when I awoke the sun was out still cold and a little bit windy, I put on the winter running garb and headed out the door. I went to the top of Harry's Hill and back today, round trip is a little over ten miles. Legs did good most of the way kind of got tired the last mile, but all in all it was a great run. I arrived home just in time to beat another squall line of snow and wind.

Today I did the Bishop storehouse route, nice day a little bit warmer which made for a nice run. As soon as the sun sets it turns cold fast. My legs did not have as much zip to them today so I went easy and enjoyed the run. Also did 25 min on my Bowflex again then finished with 200 crunches.

Nice morn for a run, the snow storm they talked about yesterday was a no show for this morn. It was actually a very pleasant warm morn. I went out to the base of Harry's Hill and back did okay for the most part. It has been a good week of training, I hope I can keep it up and things will stay healthy physically. Have a great weekend.

I did another golf course loop today, still running in shorts although it is a it on the cold side by the time I finish my run. That's okay my legs an handle the cold as long as my hands and ears are warm. Did 25 min on bowflex, upper body and 200 crunches. No injuries at this time knock on wood, hopefully sty that way through the winter.
