"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

Wow its Christmas Eve, time sure flys by... I was lazy and didn't get up this morning, I had to go into the office for alittle bit and then I came home and headed out about noon. It was sure nice outside, warm and comfortable and sunny I thinks its the calm before the storm. I hope its not to bad tonight so I can get in my run in the morning, I might have to run on the treadmill if it gets to bad outside. I kept a pretty steady pace for the whole run, probably to fast but it was nice out so I just went with it, my splits went as follows; 8:21(140), 8:18(149), 8:33(152), 8:18(149), 8:05(159), 8:20(157). My aveage pace was 8:20 with my heart rate average at 150, total time was 50:17. I felt really good today and now I am trying to get into the Christmas spirit, both my kids and my wifes kids are gone so its just me and my better half, kind of different but we will make do...

Have a safe and Merry Christmas to all the FRB's out there, see ya tomorrow.

No running today... I decided to take the day off because its Christmas...

Boy my legs were deads today, it was a nice morning not to cold but it was hard getting out of bed this morning, I have been having a hard time with that lately... I had to really push myself to get out the door today, I am having motivation issues to say the least but I was able to overcome those feelings today and get my lazy butt out the door. My average pace was 9:15 with my heart rate average at 133, total time was 55:50 pretty slow today but that was okay with me, I had no reason to push it, so I went nice and easy. I have decided that I might incorporate some evening runs on the teadmill a couple of times a week, just to get in a couple more miles a day, time permitting of course. Well thats about it for today, I have to get back to work, see ya tomorrow.

I really had a hard time again getting out the door this morning, after sitting by the fire for a bit I decided to get my butt out the door, but I wanted to dress right so it was comfortable. So two pairs of tights later and 3 layers up top later I headed out the door and as I discovered it was really nice, I must of had the right combination on because I was toasty.  I ran the Salem canal road to mini gu corner and then back to my house in salem and then out to the old barn and back via salem canal road. Since I was feeling all warm and fuzzy I decided to go alittle extra this morning and went for a fun filled 8 miler, my average pace was 8:43 with my heart rate at 147, total time was 1:10:18. I had 3 miles that were close to my marathon pace, about a minute off, they were; 8:34(143), 8:35(150), 8:25(154). My legs felt better today too, they had some zip in them for a change and that is about it, I'll see you tomorrow.

I ran to Payson Park via Salem Canal Road and then up the hill to the new payson Swimming pool and skate Park... I kepted the pace nice and easy around 8:50 pace with a  total time of 1:11:15, I'm at work so I am not sure what my heart rate was I will have to look when I get home. It was comfortable weather wise around 12 or so but I have a good combination going and I am staying pretty toasty out there as long as it doesn't get much colder, I should be alright... My legs were alittle tired this morning, I've went 8 miles the last few days so it might be taking its toll, it was fun running my old route out to the Payson Park it was nice to see some new scenery for a change.  I am going to try and run that route a couple of times a week if my body will let me, but we will see on that one!

See ya Tomorrow.

Today was by far the worst run I have had in along while, very brutal, and I can't blaim it on the weather either. I headed out towards gu corner and then down in the riverbottoms and stoped at my usual spot for my 5 mile turn around point, had some gu and some gatorade and wondered how I was going to make it back. But without much of a choice I headed back, it was tough but I took a couple of breaks to help get me through it, I then stopped at my house and took a pit stop and had some more Gatorade. I then head out towards the old barn via Salem canal road for a couple of more miles to round out the 13.10.  I am so glad that it is over. I hope I recover enough by Monday so I can run again, but I will have to see on that one, because right now I am one sore little bugger... My average pace was 9:11 with a total time of 2:00:29, not real fast but I got-r-done...
