With the holiday today I was able to have the day off from work, plus my birthday is today so it's one of those bonus days. It was fun to go for a run this morn. It was a little brisk, but after the first mile ya warmed up and it was a pretty sweet run. My legs felt pretty good and no real issues there. I don't think I am ready to do any speed work yet. Just keep trying to build my base back. My goal for this week is to do at least 5 milers all week. For my B-Day my son Bryan took me skiing for half a day up to Sundance. The weather was awesome and the snow was great. So all in all this has been a pretty sweet day. See ya tomorrow.

Today my legs were pretty wacked from yesterdays ski adventure. It took alot of determination to finish the run today. I think a turtle could of passed me today. My legs were not sore, just tired from using different muscels I guess. After being on top of the mt. yesterday and looking down into the valley I was'nt sure that I wanted to run in this cruddy air. But no brain no pain so I did my out to GU corner and back 5 miler. Temp was nice just wacked out legs. Hopefully tomorrow they will be more recovered. I finished my workout today with 30 min. of upper body strength training, and 200 crunches.

Catch ya tomorrow.

Ya know there are some smells that make me dry heave. I'll esplain later. I decided to go a different route today. Out to GU corner 5 miler is getting old. It was time to see some scenery that I have'nt seen sense last fall. I did the river bottoms road were it come out by the Bishops Storehouse, and then up Scenic Drive to home. A little over 5 miles. Anyway back to the smells part. There is a cow yard just before you come out of the river bottoms, and with the warm temps of the past few days the snow has been melting with the winter cow poop and the smell made me do the dry heaves for a few moments. Was'nt very pleasent. In just a few more weeks the temps will be rising which really should get the smelly juices going. For most of the run my legs felt better than yesterday, until I hit the Senic Drive hill. But I was able to keep it going. All in all I felt good about the run. Finished with 30 min. of upper weight training, and 200 crunches. See ya later.

Decided to do the smelly run of yesrerday, but in reverse. The first mile is a down hill the last 4 are a graduale up hill workout. My legs felt good and strong today, for some reason I ran this run about 4 min. faster than I did yesterday. Only todays was mostly uphill and yesterdays was mostly down. Go figure. I did'nt have the dry heaves like yestrdays which was nice, but the smell was still there. Ya got love spring time in the river bottoms. I don't know if I dare post mile splits yet. There still pretty slow.  Kim and Lybi are leaving me in the dust, I'll wait until I can run in there circle of dust. Oh what the heck. My total time for the 5.2 was 50:19.

Mile 1. 9:49

        2. 9:46

        3. 10:07

        4. 10:10

        5. 8:57

I finished my workout today with 30 min of upper body strength training, and another 200 crunches. I feel pretty good about todays workout, and at how things sare progressing.

Hopefully see ya out on the road.

Got home from work around 10 am and 10:30 straped on the old running attire and headed down the road. Todays run was all about the longer run and getting the old bod used to the pounding of the longer run. Felt good most of the run did get a little tired towards the end. The weather nice an comfy, kind of over dressed, it did get warm towards the end. Training this week as gone well. Starting to get the base miles back up. looking forward to a good week next week. No injuries which is a good sign.

have a great weekend ya all.
