| Today my little girl is sick, and my wife took my other daughter to dance. I felt like I should stay home and keep an eye on my sick daughter. So my run was in doors on the eliptical today. I don't like that thing, I am an out door runner. I did do 30 min worth that is about all I could stand. I also did 30 min of upper body weight training and 200 crunches. Hopefully tomorrow my daughter will feel much better and I can get back out doors. Catch ya latter. |

It looks like winter is here for a while, it was a cold run today. I did the golf course loop and the course looked pretty sad as there was at least an inch or so of snow. No green grass anywhere, the parking area was empty. It will be a few month's before they start playing again I think. I am a warm weather person, I think San Diego sounds nice about now. I stll enjoyed the run, It was great. I finished the workout today with 30 min of upper body weight training, and 200 crunches. It has been a great day. |

| Todays run was a litle on the sloppy side down the river bottoms, parts of the road where covered with slush and the driver's are very rude. I splushed a few times. My legs are still tired and I don't know what the deal is the colder weather, extra running gear I don't know. I did the golf course route and the shoveled snow, ended my workout with 30 min of upper body weight training and 200 crunches. It was still a great run and a great day. |

I did not have to go into work his morn so I got a great night's sleep the first in a very long time. It felt good and I almost feel like normal again.
My long run today took me out to the base of harry's hill, and then back up power house road around the golf course. My legs and good energy this morn and wanted to run, the roads were a little on the snow packed side in alot of places', It is hard to get good trackion and felt like at times it was really wearing on my legs. I just had to go slow and easy. I was cold for the first mile but quickley warmed up and it was nice and toasty for the rest of the run.
I feel like this has been a great week of training, I'm starting to get excited for the Spectrum 10k in March and the Hurricaine Half in May. Those are my goals for the coming spring.
Time for some last min. Christmas shopping and will be glad to wrap that up hopefully today. Have a great weekend. Catch ya latter duds and dudets. |

I was able to sneak out of work at 11 am today, arrived home put on the winter running garb and headed out the door. I did the route up around the golf course today, the roads ae still snow packed and slussy in places which made for difficult trackion. The weather was actually pretty warm and the sun did peak out from behind the clouds every now and then. I seen the same two Elk that was down in the river bottoms yesterday, they are big animals. The run was a great run and it has been a great Christmas eve.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas, it's hard to believe it is time for another one. Should be a great day. See ya soon. |

Couple of days ago my family and I were on way home from Grandma's and Grandpa's houses and it was snowing hard, my Daughter Kimberlin said look Dad Another runner as dorky as you. I said why is the runner dorky? Kimberlin said because there out running in a snow storm, that's somthing you would do, so your dorky. I said don't knock it until you try it. I love running in the snow. And todays run the roads were really snow packed and difficult to run on so it was slow going. I had to go slow and easy it was very hard to have very good footing. I did the golf course route today. About 2 feet of snow seems to be the average right now. It still fun to run and it has been a great day. After the run I did 30 min of upper weight training and finsihed with 200 crunches. |

| Another great night of Zzzzzz'z and it did feel good to sleep in this morn. I made my mind up last night that I will not run until the sun is up. It was still cold but after about a mile I was warmed up and it was a great run. I went out over harry's hill today and down Woodland Hill road back to home. I hav'nt been up over harry's since before the SGM. There was lots of snow at the top, my guess 3 ft plus. But a very beautiful view of the snow covered valley. I prefere the view during the summer. Will have a great weekend. |

| Nice run today although it was windy going up canal road to the east. The wind was coming really hard out of the canyon, when I made the turn at the golf course to head east down power house road the wind was at my back which was a relieve. The wind was blowing hard enough to make the flags stand straight out. That's at least 13 mile hr plus wind. My legs were a little on the whack side from sat long run and also doing harry's hill. It's time to do more hill work and I will incorporate that into my training schedule each week as I begin to get ready for my spring races. I did 30 min of upper body weight training and finished with the usual 200 crunches. |
