Great trails at Sweetwater Creek Park with Timp ... this is site of our 50k Jan. 8 ... so we covered the trails that will make the 5+ mile loop ... 6 loops will be pretty brutal, hopefully we will have the 50 & sunny weather we had today!

3:30- Pick up 7 v 7soccer game for 90 minutes

Ran on shores of Lake Lanier, slow going adventurous surface ... but spectacular views on a nice sunny day.  I would like to do 50 miles of shoreline in a weekend with a friend & a kayak ... taking turns running ... this would also enable using the kayak to cross bodies of water avoid coves which are not conducive to good running (wet, steep, rocky, swampy)& also provide access to exploring islands.

There has not been a lot of desire to run lately, so I have done some exploring runs just to keep fitness up ... but they have been more adventures then running workouts.  Blew off running the last 2 days, cuz the desire was just not there.  

Almost blew off a 3rd day, but decided to go out in the rain &get something in.  As usual, I never really know what I am going to do until I start, so after glancing at my watch a couple hundred yards in, i decided on a few mile repeats, that way I could quit & get out of the rain early if I wanted.

Mile 1-Out    6:20  gradual downhill

Mile 2-Back   6:13 gradual uphill

Mile 3-Out    5:53 gradual downhill

Jumped on trail for 2 slow recovery  miles, then ran mile back in 8:00.

Planning on going to Spin class, and may do a few more on treadmill just because it is pouring out.

Power went out, so I got to Spin late.  Decided to do a few songs as a warmup, then jump on the treadmill and do a workout.  I think I decided this about midway thru the first song where we were doing long uphill climbs starting out seated, progressing to standing, finishing with 10 seconds sprinting over top of hill going into a 60 second downhill sprint ... repeats!  Yep, I pretty much decided 30 minutes of that was going to kill me, so I opted for the treadmill ... it is in the same cinema room ... so you still have the blasting music and motivation flowing out of the Hot instructors mouth.

Anyway, first mile on treadmill was progressive from 10:00 to 6:53, bumping the speed every 30 seconds.  I cranked out 4 miles at 6:53, and by this point the room was completely empty & I was watching Christmas Vacation on the Big Screen.  I opted to wrap things up, so I cranked it up to 6:39 pace for 1/2 mile, then cooled down for a half mile.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Started at Buford Dam, 3 miles on trails, 8 on shores of Lake Lanier, then to a friends house to get a ride back to my car.  Beautiful day ... shore running is slow go!
