Nice run out past minnie gu corner to my 4 mile mark which is just short of harry's hill. Nice temps should be a great week of training. I signed up for the Painter's Half  Marathon in Jan. 2011. One of two that I need to do for the runner's series. I did 25 min on the bowflex, upper body and finished with 200 crunches. Then I spent some time on the bog blue roller.

Nicer day today although it is cold, I don't like going off of daylight savings time. Just leave it alone already. I did the golf couse loop and as I was coming up the last hil out of the river bottoms the sun was down, welcome to winter.

Today I did a full Bishop Storehouse loop, ran down Senic Drive and then ran up the Canal Rd. The forst few miles were cold and into the wind which was coming from the northwest. Kind of on the cold side for a few miles. Once in the river bottoms no wind and was ver nice. I did feel like pushing it a little bit. I'm still feeling good , I did another 25 min on the Bowflex and finished with 200crunches.

So I cut it short and was really worn out from trying to fight the windy day. Oh well it was still a great run and has been a good week of training. See ya next week.

Another nice around the golg course this morn, It was 15 degrees. I threw on the shorts and a couple of layers on the core and headed out. Kind of chilly for a few min, but I warmed up quickly. I did the loop in reverse mode today, I only seen one other runner out today. The roads were a bit on the slick side but not bad.

So much for the blizzard of 2010, I been in and seen alot worse snow storms, The weather men in this state crack me up on how excided they get over these little storms. I don't think the blizzard lived up to all there hipe. Oh well, see you tomorrow.

I tryed to do another golf course loop this mron, it was very cold and windy when I was begining the loop around the top, for some reason I just did not have it today. I felt tired worn out just not all thier.

My Brother Shane passed away yesterday at 12:41, it was hard to see him take his last breaths in this life. He has had alot of health struggles for alot of years, it is a blessing in a way that he is free from the pains and challenges his health gave him. He endured them well and left this life on the path of the Savior. His courage and never complaing attitude has been a great example for me. Until we meet again Little Bro. We are Brother's forever.

Todays run took me around the Bishop Storehouse loop. Nice run and feeling good today, although my heart is still feeling heavy for my Little Bro. Shane. His viewing is tomorrow, and is still hard to believe that this is happening. Just dos'nt seem real. My emotions seems to come in waves as I and My Family deal with his passing. I know that this will take time, I will put my trust in the Savior.

I also spent 25min n the boeflex and finished up with 200 crunches. Aftere the workout I hit the big blue roller and rolled my legs. See ya tomorrow?
