Thank Heavenly Father for global warming, or we would still be in the ice age. What a nice day, I got home from work and the old thermometer said 46 degrees. So I told myself, self your running in shorts today. It was perfect conditions. I was in shorts and long sleeve shirt and my vest , it was the warmest day so far this year. I also felt like letting the dogs out, felt really good today. My total time today was 1:02:44, I wanted to try and brake 60 min. for a 7 miler, But the last mile and two tenth's was all up hill. it was all gruntation from there. My calories burnt was 1238, I also did 25 min. of upper body weight training.

Irt was another nice day for a run, I thought that I might run in my speedo, but after I thought about it for a half second I thought it would be best to spare the normal human beings eyes the horriable sight. My legs were wack from yesterdays fast run, well fast for me. I did mostly uphill work today. The first 1.25 miles are down hill and used it's avantage to lossen up. As I entered the river bottoms around 1.5 miles It begins a windy uphill battle untill about mile 3.25. By now my legs are ptretty tired but my lungs feel good, just tired legs. Around mile 4 there is a 400 meter uphill battle at a 6% grade. Between mile 6 and 7 coming up out of the river bottoms another 400 meter hill at an 8% grade. My legs were screaming like newborn spanked twins by this time. My total time today was alot slower because of my tired legs and the uphill workout, my time 1:10:33.

I also did about 30 min. of upper and lower body weight training. Hopefully tomorrow I will recover to do a faster run.

Today I wanted to try and push the envelope a little bit more. I tryed to focus more on my breathing and keeping a more even tempo. I was suprised at how good my legs felt today after yesterdays uphill workout. Yesterday I did'nt  feel good at all. My breathing felt real good today also. My goal is to try and get 7 miles down to one hour, I'm getting closer, but still have some work to do. My total time today is 1:01:29. Calories burned 1219. Today I won't do any weight's, wed. is my break day from that. All in all I did feel really good through my whole run, the last 1.2 of a mile is all uphill and I pushed it as hard as I  could, I think that is were I gave some back today.

Today I did a recovery run after yesterdays hard workout. Most of the running was uphill workout . I did feel pretty good until the last 1.5 miles, then my legs started to feel pretty wack. I also did 25 min. of upper body weight training. Tomorrow I will take a rest day, and hopefully the weather will be good enough on sat. to do a long run. So far this week I feel as though I have a pretty good week. My total time today was 1:11:00, calories burned 1206.

I would like to start off by thanking my little Bro. for going slow today. I ran into him about have way through my run today. We ran together for a couple of miles and that was my fast miles for the run. It was enjoyable to share a few miles with him, he is a great Brother. I was able to do 10 miles today, I took it easy for most of the workout, I feel as though I have had a a good week of training. The last 1.5 miles I did start to feel pretty wack, but I was able to endure it. coming up out of the river bottoms there is a good steep hill, I felt as if I was hardly moving.  My total time today was 1:35:53, and I burned 1745 calories. My mile splits were as follows.

Today I also did 25 min. of lower body weight training, I have been trying for the last couple of month's to see if I can strengthen my core.
