Decide--Commit--Succeed

Very wacked out legs today, I guess the training and the increased mileage of the past few weeks are starting to take there toll. What is with the wind every afternoon, that is starting to get old. Hopefully tomorrow the legs will co-operate a little better. i also did 30 min. of the upper body weight training, And 300 crunches. Catch ya later.

No legs again today, they felt like they have never ran before. Just totally very little energy. So not a very eventfull run. I think I starting to like this wind every afternoon, not!!!!!!  I had to go to the Dentist after work so I got out a little latter tonight. I don't have enough time to do the weight's today. We will hit them again tomorrow. See ya then.

Things you see while out running are interesting. Beacause of the wind again today I tryed to run as much with it to my back. So I run down senic then up canal road from the Bishops Storehouse. I seen a couple of dead cats, a dead water snake, can't believe there out already. Then up from the storehouse somebody dumped a bunch of dead rabbit's off the side of the road which were really giving off a lovely riverbottoms aroma. Yesterday I ran out towards Harry's Hill and on the Power House Road there is a wonderful dead Deer carcus, that one sent me into the dry heaves. The river bottoms are a lovely place this time of year. Anyone would like a tour, it usually starts each day around 4 pm. Brochures are forth coming. Be sure to book your reservation early.

My legs felt a little better today, but they are still in the wack mode. I hope tomorrow they will do better. They did feel better running uphill than down or on the flat. Kind of weird. I won't post my times today as they are rather on the slow side. Average pace was 9:33. All in all I feel like the training is coming along. We will just keep building slowley. I also did 30 min. of upper body weight training, and 300 crunches. See ya tomorrow.

Today tthe old legs felt the best they have all week. But I decided to keep it on the recovery side because I have been pushing pretty good for me the last few weeks. I plan on taking tomorrow as a rest day, and doing a long run sat. I hope to increase the miles a little this week but not more than the 10% rule. I did feel good most of the run today, I did the 8 mile loop up around the golf course again, but in reverse. This time I went across river bottoms then up power house road and down canal road home . It was a pretty brisk run with the wind blowing again. I finshed my workout with 30 min of core weight strengthening and 300 crucnches. Catch ya on sat morn.

No running today, so I just did my upper body weight training, and 300 crunches. Tomorrow I paln on a long run. Don't know how many hopefully at least 10. See ya then.

Went to work at 2 am again this morn. got off at 9:30 am and helped the big boss with some of the house work. I was able to get out on the road for my run about 10:45. I don't know what I'm going to do when the warmer weather gets here. I don't want to be running my long runs that late in the morn. It will be much to warm by then. I may have to try and get the extra work hours in during the week to have the sat. morn. off for the early run.

Todays run was one of more enjoyable off the past week. Both legs felt good and strong today, the weather was fairly enjoyable, just the normal north west wind blowing pretty good. I did the route out to the base of Harry's Hill and back. I did not feel like conqering the big hill today. But I will start soon to add this to my training. I have'nt ran the big hill since last fall. I just took it on the easy side today kept the pace comfy so as not to induce any injuries. I plan on next week to have aleast one speed day. Just have to see how things feel. Been a good week of training, added a couple of more miles to the base. Have a great weekend all.
