I've had bowel issues since sunday afternoon but I needed to get some miles in. I decided the best way to accomplish this would be to run on the treadmill so that if I had a problem I could just come inside. I managed 6 miles in 51 minutes.

More treadmill miles. I wanted to get up this morning and run up the canyon but I can't talk myself into getting up at 5:30 am. My plan was to get up at 6 and be running by 6:30 but my wife kept me awake until midnight so that didn't happen either. I drug myself out of bed at 7:15 and figured I only had time for quick miles so I hit the TM for 7 miles in 60 minutes. I really need to get outside, but the TM is so convenient.

Sunset trail up past the sheds about a 1/2 mile. You've got to get into and out of that canyon early because the rednecks and their guns are out in force by 10:00 am.

Not quite a 100 mile week like some people I know, but I'm getting the rhythm back. I'm going to shoot for somewhere between 45 and 50 miles next week.
