Alot colder today than has been for a few days, I'll bet the runners in the early morn about froze to death. Hopefully we will get a few days of nicer weather. Today I did my 7 mile route out across the river bottoms, then west from GU Corner on power house road to the log house and back. The first miles I used to warm up. I wanted to see how the legs would respond from sat. 10 miler. For the most part they felt pretty good. Alot more energy in them than last week. I had a 9:37 pace nothing to speedy, the last mile thougth I wanted to see what I could do, so I pushed the pace alittle bit and was able to gut out a 8:04 mile have'nt done that since last summer. I was almost at threshold so I still have alot of work to do to be able to hold 9:00 min pace for SGM. Oh by the way we get to send in our apllications tomorrow. I can't believe it's here already. I finished off todays workout with 30 min of upper body weight strenghtening, and 300 crunches. Good luck to all on the lottery. I have a sure spot because I pulled out due to injury last year. So let the training begin. See you tomorrow.

Did the 8 mile up around the golf course. Most of it is alot of graduale uphill which was a good workout for this old guy. My legs seem to recover from yesterday pretty well, and they felt good through the whole run today. I did'nt do anything speedy, did have 1 mile at marathon pace of 9:00. finished up with some more weights to keep the core strong about 30 min worth, and ended with 300 crunches. See ya tomorrow.

Today we did the 7 mile loop out to the log house on power house road  and back. Just kind of did an easy tempo run, nothing flashy or spectactular. It was good weather for a change and not much wind. The old timer's legs were a little on the wack, but it was still a good run. I did 30 min of core weight training and 300 crucnhes. Catch ya tomorrow.

Kind of had wack legs today, but not as wack as yesterdays. Oh and guess what? That darn wind was back this afternoon just in time for my run. I did the same route I did yesterday, but picked the pace up a little more than yesterdays. Average pace was 9:27, with 1 mile at marathon pace for me of 9:04. I know pretty slow little Bro. but remember I'm an old man. Total time was 1:06:47. Mile splits are as follows.

Mile 1. 9:37

        2. 9:18

        3. 9:29

        4. 9:20

        5. 9:27

        6. 9:56  The steep hill out of river bottoms. Kicks my butt.

        7. 9:04

I also did 30 min. of upper body weight training for the core, and 300 crunches. I will use tomorrow as a recovery day. The weather is going to go sour on sat. morn, Maybe do my long run tomorrow? I don't know we will see.
