For my run today I went out to GU CORNER, then back to Canal Road. From there down Canal Road to the old Bishops Storehouse, and back up Canal Road to home. My legs are finally starting to feel good again after a few months of injuries. I did 25 min on the Bowflex (upper body) then finished with 200 crunches.

I quess colder weather tomorrow as a cold front is coming through tonight, it I have been spoiled the past month with the awesome weather.

I ran the golf course route today, the legs felt surprisingly well and I am pretty confident that they are healed from injuries from a couple of months ago. Cold weather has returned and the weather man is saying snow for the weekend. I finished today's workout with 200 crunches. Sat long run should be fun in the snow, hope it holds off until Sun.

Winter came back and slammed us today. Lots of snow cold temp with wind, the roads are very snowy in the river bottoms which made for a difficult run. But we slugged through it and made it a great run. I did 25 min on the Bowflex and another 200 crunches. More snow tonight and tomorrow.

I decided to work on my tan this morning, put on my running shorts and headed out the door. The temp was a nice and balmy 25 degrees. Today's run took me me to the top of Harry's Hill and back, have not been to the top in a few weeks. It was god to get in a longer run for a change. For the most part my legs did well and it was an enjoyable morning run.

I was able to leave work early today so the temp was in the low thirties, snowing and I threw on my running shorts and a couple of layers headed out the door. Got a lot of strange looks running in shorts and the snow, it was fun and my legs never did get cold. I did the Bishop Storehouse route today the roads were really snowy and slick. It was a great run.
