Nice easy fun run outside in the sun! The day was great and I felt great. The road was dry, the temp was around 45. It looks like the weather is calming down and warming up. Good thing, since all the rivers are above flood stage again and we don't want a repeat of last spring next spring. The weather guy said it was the third wettest October on record. Also lifted weights. My legs definately feel better when I do weights.

Treadmill today. Got new shoes yesterday. I had a gift cert. and the sales guy talked me into trying Brooks. I don't know, I still really like my Sauconys.

The weather has finally improved! October was a long, dreary depressing month. The sun was bright and the wind was blowing, but I didn't mind, it is drying things out. My legs felt great and Bayly was in dog heaven with all the sights and smells of fall. Glorious sunset! Also lifted weights  Quote for the day: "We all have dreams.

Opening weekend so I stayed in town. Ran the truck route a few times and a mile on the track. Dog chased me so I had to alter my route. Roughly 5.50 miles. Took the dogs for a walk (or they walked me) later in the day. To nice to be inside.

Four miles on the treadmill. Three miles on the bike and lifted weights. Took Sunday and Monday off. Not feeling 100% this week. And of course the weather is gorgeous! Staying close to town since hunting season started. With the warm weather there are alot more people out and about. Bayly is not happy. She is ready for long run.

Ran around truck route with Ron. Gotta love this weather!

Treadmill. Leg weights. First day of official training! Can't waite for hunting season to end.

Tempo Run

3x around the truck route. Yawn. Hunting is over and Bayly and I are ready to get out to our regular route. Now I suppose the good weather will head south for the winter. Signed up for the Jingle Bell run. Running the Red Kettle Run on Thursday. Ah! what a day. Run and then spend the rest of the day eating!

5K Treadhills

Tempo run. 8.37 pace. I have a long way to go in the next 25 weeks. Ron says that's why they call it training. :) Bayly ran her usual 4 minute mile pace. Oh, to be a dog with long legs.

Quote for the day: "If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run." --John Bingham

Red Kettle Run. The entry fee was a food item for the Salvation Army, no timing just a nice run. Ron and Kaylie went 3 miles. Sun was out, temp about 20. No snow yet, yea! It was nice to run on pavement for a change. Ran it in about 41 minutes. Felt great!

Nice sunny day. Temp in the low 40's. Just an easy long run with Bayly and Ron. Can't believe this weather for the last of November.

Got home late. Treadmill at 7.0-7.5
