Just a quick run around the golf course loop. Seen lots of deer close by the road, stopped and watched a few jump a fence. They made it seem so effortless, I have to much fudge pack to jump that high. I did 25 min on the bowflex and 200 crunches. Then ended up on the big blue roller.

I did another loop around the golf course his afternoon, the old legs still seem to keep hangong in there. I hope I will stll be running in my golden years that is my long term goal. Seen a few deer running around the river bottoms during my run, it sure has been a nice Dec I could handlw winter if it was like this until Feb then warm up. Ha, Ha. I spent 25 min on the bowflex doing my usual upper body strength training and finished up with 200 crunches. I also spent some time afterwards on the blue foam roller. I sure like that part of my workout. See ya tomorrow.

For some reason my legs today did not have much zip to them. It was a whack run altoghter, colder today and winter will probably set in for real now. Exspecially being so close to Christmas. I did the customary 25 min on my bowflex ending with 200 crunches.

Holy snow bank Batman, I can't believe all the snow welcome to a white Christmas. I was able to do a loop around the golf course today, still was able to run in shorts and a couple of layers on the old core. I was very comfy, I am not a big snow fan. The only thing that gives me hope is that after today the days start to get longer. Come on back sun, I need you.

Today I did an out and back to Harry's Hill, still mild temps and running in shorts and enjoying it. I have been tired this week working extra hours at work and very little sleep. I do have the next four days off and will try and catch up. I love to sleep in, it just does not happen very often. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve it is hard to believe, for some reason I am having a hard time getting into the spirit of it all this year. Oh well, catch ya latter.

Nice run today out to Harry's Hill and back. Alot colder this morn, took a couple of miles to get warmed up. Hopefully this weeks training will be better than last weeks. That is my goal.

My legs had good energy today and I did push things a bit, anyway a bit for me. I did a golf course loop today and you know it's cold when the frost has'nt melted off the trees yet and it's 4 pm in the afternoon. So a cold run to start out but I warmed up quickly. After my run I did 25 min on the bowflex, upper body and finished with 200 crunches.

Burrrrrrr, a very cold run today with icey roads and very windy. Five miles was about al I could take today. I did spend 25 min on the bowflex, upper body and finished with 200 crunches. It is going to be colder sat morn for a long run 0 degrees for a low, so I don't know if I have it for kind of weather. We shall see.
