Happy New Year. What a beautiful day for a run. I fell like I am getting back to where I was before A got sick and had my mustle strains and all that stuff. Total time today was 49:33; I felt a little sluggish towards the end which tells me the flu bug I had last week is still lingering. All in all I felt like that I am on the right track, I also did 30 minutes of upper body training on the Boflex.

Ran my 3 mile split in 24:30 and realized that this was suppose to be a recovery run, and decided to back off on the inward half. My inward 3 mile split was 27:13 for a total of 51:43, it was another beautiful mourningfor a run. I like it when it is in the 20's makes it comfortable, but I will be glad for spring to get here in a few months.

Total time today was 51:01. I did a warm up of about mile and then just tried to keep a steady pace throughout the run. I also ran faster for about .5 mile total time on that split was 3:45, I did some strength training on my legs yesterday and I was kind of feeling today. Tomorrow I plan on running up Harry Davis hill in Salem, it is like a 7% to 8% grade and it lasts for about a mile, its brutal. Hopefully my legs will be able to cooperate.

Thursday's are Harry Davis hill days, as of the New Year anyway. Started out with the first mile split at 8:16, at the end of mile two I had droped to a 8:37 for that split which is at the base of said hill. Now, this is where the fun starts the hill is at a 8% grade and by the time you get to the top it is like a 10% grade. From the base to the top its about a mile which takes me to my third mile split which was 10:09, as you can see it is one steep mother. Once at the top I take a 1 minute walk break and start my way back down. My 4th mile split was at 7:53 as it was all down hill, mile 5 was done in 8:20 which is pretty flat and I was trying to get my legs to recover they were a little tired. Once I hit my last mile I felt a burst of energy and that split was done in 8:15, total time was 51:56

I am still trying to get over my cough and a few of my nagging injury's, but they felt pretty good today.

The roads were really snow packed and icy this mourning. May first mile split was 8:43, I was just trying to get the feel for the road and how slick it was. My second mile was 9:08 and the third mile was 9:18, which included a small hill which was very slick so I had to slow down. The forth mile split was 8:58 and the 5th mile was 8:45, I have noticed that the last few times I have ran that I seem to have a burst of energy towards my last mile and the same thing happened today. I was able to find a good stretch of road that wasn't to slick and my 6th mile split was 8:00 even. I am hoping for the roads to be a little better tomorrow, but who knows it is that time of year for snowy slick roads.

I ran a little later today so I could run when it was some what warm. Started off with my first mile split at 8:10, then the next split was 8:24 as I was in a bad stretch of road and it was snow pack and slick. 8:53 for my 3 mile split and then I started to speed back up, with my 4th mile split in 8:15. The 5th mile in 8:11 and the final mile in 7:31 for a total of 49:28.

I felt good after my hamstring was loose enough to get going but then I had to slow down for the condition of the roads.

I hope they are more clear on Monday.
