The weather men say that after today the temps are going to drop 30 degrees, so good by indian summer, hello winter. I really enjoyed the run today, nice weather a little bit windy but the sun felt good. My hamstring did'nt feel to bad today and my back did alot better. So I am hoping things might begin to mellow out. I think another week of 5 miler's and then next will start to throw in some 6 miler's. That is if my body says it's ok. My total time today was 51:36.

Cold windy run today this will take some getting used to. I put on a couple of layer's on top and opted not to use tight's. After a mile I was warm and comfy. Did wear gloves and a beannie. My back was not an issue today and my hamstring was around a 2 as far as being uncomfortable. Felt a little like pushing a bit more today and kind of felt wacked the last .25 miles. My total time was 49:42. I did some more weight and core workout also, about 25 min. worth.

Today at work I went ouside for lunch and felt the cold air and it kind of ruined my attitude for a run latter this evening.  When I got home I talked myself into it and strapped on my cold weather running gear and headed out, tight's and all. Old men as myself  look horriable in the silly things. I'm glad I had them because it was rather brisk out. I accually felt pretty good today no back problems or hamstring issues either. It has been a while sense I have felt this good and so I pushed it alittle more today. Total time was 47:13, with an average pace of 9:15. Tomorrow I have off from work and will try a morn. run if  I have recoverd from todays ok. I thought maybe I would wait until the afternoon, but by that time I will be to full of Thanksgiving meal, end up running like a stuffed turkey.

Happy Turkey Day everyone . Today was a real recovery run after pushing pretty good for me on yesterdays run. I also ran the  morn. so I did'nt have a full day recovery. I took it pretty slow today just did what my old body would alow. I felt pretty good, no back issues and the hammie was maybe a 1 or a 2. so I think we are coming along , very slowley however. My total time was 1:04:42.

I think yesterdays extra mile took the wind out of my sails today. My legs were feeling very wacked out. So I took easy, very slow miles and just tryed to enjoy the sunshine. My hammie was a little sore today also it is just taking this thng forever to heal completely. My total time was 53:28, I also did 30 min. of weight strengthening on the old core with some crunches.

WOW,  I have never ran six days in a row before . That was one of my goals  to try and make six days a week of running . I hope I can keep it up. My  legs did feel real wack today, I think tired from the six days. I do have some discomfort on my right shin. Hopefully not a shin split we will have to keep and I on it. Beautifull day for a run the sunshine feels good. My total time was 53:12.

BYU  BEATS UTAH 17 TO 10,  SWEET!!!!!!!!!
