HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I slept in because of the late night of celebrations and then I waited for it to warm up in the teens and then I headed out...I ran the mini gu corner out and back, when I was headed to mini gu corner I ran into a herd of Elk, Ah the joys of running... There were some nice bulls in that herd and it was cool to just watch them for a minute, I wish my son Ethan was hear he would have went wild, I will have to take him tomorrow after school and see if they are still there.

Now back to my run, it was just another easy day although I was alittle faster today than yesterday (I wasn't planning on that) but I just went with what felt comfortable... My average pace 8:43 with my heart rate average at 141, total time was 52:28. My leg felt really good, I don't know whats up with that but maybe I just over done it on Saturday and my calf muscle was alittle strained, becuase I felt great and I have no pain as I am writing this so thats a good sign. I was planning on doing some strength training today but I think I will take it easy the rest of the week, and then resume the strength training next week...

See ya tomorrow.

Glad to hear the legs/shins are feeling good. Also fun to see the elk herd. I think I know just where you saw them, I remember seeing them from a distance last year but I haven't noticed them for a while. I'll have to make sure I keep my eyes open next time I head over that way.
