We ran in the dark from our hotel in West Covina.  It was a fun little run and felt good after a long bus ride to Cali.

Ran from the hotel over the hill to Mount SAC.  I didn't realize that 3 miles of it is uphill, I thought it was more even.  It seemed like I was going up that hill forever!  Run felt good though.  Some of my kids did very well.

I did not feel like running today at all.  I had a long bus ride on Sunday back from Cali and two late nights with seminars and basketball.  I went out and did a loop around Rosecrest and Emeline and felt sluggish the whole time, but I am glad I went out.  7:29 pace

Ran on the treadmill today at school.  All was going well and I was running decent until the end.  I turned it up the speed and was going 12.5 miles per hour for the last .3 miles.  The treadmill wasn't turning down so I jumped off to the sides the slow it down.  It said it was cooling down so I stepped back on it thinking it was going slow and it was still at 12.5 miles per hour.  It knocked me to my knees and I could instantly feel my skin go by by.  I felt myself getting pulled toward my face, and not wanting to eat the treadmill I put my left hand down to flip myself to my back.  It worked and I flipped to my back and shot off the treadmill, but not before I got my hand jacked too.  The whole thing probably took just over a second, but I didn't end up too well.  I have two melted skin blisters about the size of a nickle on my hand, and both knees have two abrasions each about the size of silver dollars.  My shin got melted a little bit.  It was totally my fault, but another reason I have never been a big fan of the treadmill.  The knees will be messed up for some time I am afraid, they are still oozing.  The worst was when I took soap and scrubbed out my wounds, ouch!  6 miles in 41:11

My knees are jacked up so it will be a couple of days before I can do much.

After two weeks I was able to run again. I still have some huge scabs on my knees, but they don't hurt anymore.  I jumped back on the horse so to speak and did 4 miles on the tread mill @ 8 miles an hour.  Felt fat, but fine!

Got out this morning for a run to Butterfield Park.  It was 16 degrees when I left.  It was a pretty tough go for me since I am completely fat and out of shape.

Did a loop up around Emeline and and Rosecrest this morning.  I hate starting from scratch and feeling like garbage for about 4 times out until you feel like you can breath again.  I hope it is only 4 times this time!  7:15 pace

Did the Rosecrest 13400 S loop from my house.  I was dragging today, especially at the end when I was running uphill into that wind!  7:23 pace.  My whole body is sore right now.
