Todays run took me back up around the golf course route, strange thing I noticed on todays run, all the dead grasshoppers. What was weird was the live ones were eateing the dead one, soooo gross. I did not know that grasshoppers were carnavors. Well any way I took it easy on the run today, on sat the last few miles I think I hit the wall a little bit. But my legs did feel pretty good today, and not as hot which made it even a greater run. I finished with 200 crunches. See ya latter.

My sleep this week has not been the best, and I think it took it's toal today. Today the legs are real wack, energy levels are pretty low. But someow we gutted out the run. It was near 100 temp wise so I thing that kind of kick my butt a little bit. But it was still a great run and good to get out. I finished with 200 crunches and put up two more blinds for Wendy. I think were done with that part of the move.

Today the legs were wack from the get go, I think the lack of zzzzzzzz's this week have begun to set in. Infact I did one of Tom's sleep work days. It was awesome, I think I need those days more often, ha,ha. Tom is an awesome example. I did the golf course route today, the heat was a factor as the sun was really pouring out the rays today. I'm just happy I was able to stick through the run today. Tomorrow is a rest in getting ready for sat. long run. Finished with 200 crunches and we will catch ya latter.

I did'nt have to go into work today, so I took in an early morn sat run for a change. It felt good to be out in the cool morn air. I did the usual sat morn long run route out ovr harry's hill, down slaem height's road, back to gu corner. I refuled ther and took a  trip around the golf course to home. I kept the milage a little lower today, I have been increasing the past three weeks and I have a half marathon next sat. A fellow runner gave me some good advice this morn. It is better to come across the finish line a little under trained than come across injured. I guess you have to pick your poisen and live with it. It was last year at this time I became injured, and was out for six months. Don't want to do that again. I did see my little Bro. Clay out this morn. stopped to talk for a few. It was good to see him, I hope he is on the oher side of his injury. Been a good week of training, so far no real injuries, I will keep knocking on wood. It's a crap shoot. See ya mon.
