Pretty Little Hill extended. Leg turnover was just okay. Not great. My average pace was 9:28 with a total time of 57:58. I'm glad I got out. Snowy at times but overall pretty good.

See you tomorrow.

Just an easy out and back on canal road. I'm trying to get a run streak going. I hopefully I can stay with it through the whole month. My average pace was 9:16 with a total time of 31:09. My legs were a little loser today and the first mile they wwre a lot better than the have been so that was  a nice surprise.

See you tomorrow.

Out to the river bottoms and then back to the house. I felt pretty good but a little tired on the last one. My average pace was 9:30 with a total time of 1:36:32, upper and lower body weights to finish up. It was a decent week for me mileage wise.

See you Monday.

I felt horrible this morning. legs would not go and the pace sucked. Oh well. I got her done. My average pace was 10:07 with a total time of 1:12:07. I wish I could get my legs to turnover faster but they just don't want to copperate. I guess this is what being old is all about.

See you tomorrow.

This pretty much sucked. Slow and labored and not very fun at all. I stayed with it and did the best i could but the old legs were super slow and tired. My average pace was 9:48 with a total time of 1:49:27, I finished up with some upper and lower body weights and then some pushups. It was still a decent week as far as mileage goes so I'll take it.

See you Monday.
