It's a winter running land today, the roads are very icy and the wind was brutal today. This is why I don't like running in the winter. But we will get through it. I cut the run about a half mile short the wind was just brutal this eve. I did stay warm though. I finished the workout with 30 min of upper body weight training, and 200 crucnhes.

Nice run today I did the bishop storehouse route. The legs did feel a little on the whack side today, but it was still a great run and a great day.

Todays run was a litle on the sloppy side down the river bottoms, parts of the road where covered with slush and the driver's are very rude. I splushed a few times. My legs are still tired and I don't know what the deal is the colder weather, extra running gear I don't know. I did the golf course route and the shoveled snow, ended my workout with 30 min of upper body weight training and 200 crunches. It was still a great run and a great day.

I did not have to go into work his morn so I got a great night's sleep the first in a very long time. It felt good and I almost feel like normal again.

My long run today took me out to the base of harry's hill, and then back up power house road around the golf course. My legs and good energy this morn and wanted to run, the roads were a little on the snow packed side in alot of places', It is hard to get good trackion and felt like at times it was really wearing on my legs. I just had to go slow and easy. I was cold for the first mile but quickley warmed up and it was nice and toasty for the rest of the run.

I feel like this has been a great week of training, I'm starting to get excited for the Spectrum 10k in March and the Hurricaine Half in May. Those are my goals for the coming spring.

Time for some last min. Christmas shopping and will be glad to wrap that up hopefully today. Have a great weekend. Catch ya latter duds and dudets.
