The Dude abides...

Broken record time, shin sore again so I ran 3 miles on the TM at 1% incline.  Why does that suck so bad?  Watched a little bit of Spaceballs while running.

Cooold run this morning, probably as cold as it's been since January/February.  15 Degrees, dressed warm and hit it.  Just took it easy again today, I need to get some mileage in but I don't want to make my shin any worse.

Good run just slow today.

Ran my Washington Terrace loop in reverse today in the frigid cold.  15 Degrees again this morning with a pretty stiff wind on top of the hill felt really cold.  Good to get 3 days in a row without much pain in my shin.  Weather man said we haven't been this cold since the end of January and it doesn't look like it's going to warm up for about a week.

The only good thing about this cold is my Powerade gets slushy, gotta love slushy powerade after a good run.

Wimped out and ran on the treadmill today and watched an american cinematic classic, Smokey and the Bandit.  Not a critically good movie but an entertaining movie.  Started to get a little bit of a blister on my left foot and have a little bit of nipple chafe.  I just LOVE the treadmill.

Ran 5 miles straight and then added the extra 2 miles in 1 mile increments.  It's completely mental on my part, I just couldn't run 2 more miles watching the time tick off but 2 X 1 miles was okay.  Weird but I got it done.

6" of snow and still snowing plus pretty windy outside equals treadmill run.  5.11 uneventful treadmill miles this morning.  Not much more to say.

Well, again stuck on the TM.  11 Degrees out and light snow so no outside run today.  Watched Rat Race today, funny movie if you haven't seen it.

Just another TM run not very exciting.  Good news is that my shin is feeling pretty good this week.

3 degrees this morning and the roads are still snow packed and icy since the high has only been 20 all week the snow won't melt.  No running outside so back on the TM.  Again just a TM run nothing special I got it done.  Watched Batman, The Dark Knight this morning.

On the TM once again, looking forward to the 'warm' up this weekend into the 30's.  Watched WALL-E today.  Played the mental game again, ran 4 miles without looking down at the time and then ran 1 mile to finish it up.  It seems easier that way even though I know it's all in my head.

Vacationing all week in So. Cal at Disneyland.  Great time weather was great in the 70's.  Needless to say I couldn't get up in the morning to go for a run.  Thats alright though it is vacation.

Came back to about a foot of snow but the temps had warmed up and it was actually not bad this morning at 34.  Just a nice easy run outside today for a change.  Good to get off the TM.

Feeling lazy watching football so decided to watch a little from the TM.  How about those Raiders, nice win over the HATED Donkeys(Broncos).  Anytime we can beat the Donkeys makes it nice.

The run was good, felt better to do something.  Cured my laziness.  2 miles at 2.5% elevation the other 1 mile slowly decreaseing from 2.5% to 1%.

Okay, really bad attitude this morning.  Really, really, really didn't want to run.  24 degrees and foggy out.  Made myself get up and run and glad I did.  The cold and fog made my eyelashes stick together but otherwise good run.

Kind of in a running funk right now, need to get out of it.

TM run today, yahoo.  Roads looked pretty bad after last nights snow.  I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop this morning.  It was a good thing I was getting something out of my time by running because that movie was a complete waste and thankfully I didn't finish it.

Good times this morning for Christmas.  After the presents were all opened had some time while everybody else was getting ready so I hit the TM for 4 miles at 1% incline.

Decided not to wuss out today so I ran outside this morning.  2 of the 3 temp signs that I pass said 11 so that's what I'm going with.  That way I get to complain a little more about the cold.  Got a little cold with about 2.5 miles to go.

Good run otherwise, I should run outside more and get over this mental thing about the cold weather.  It's not as bad once you get out in it and start running.

How about this, 2 days in a row I ran out in the cold.  Good run this morning although I was very tired getting up this morning and had some stomach issues.  On top of that 5:35 am comes early on a 15 degree morning.

We had about 4 inches of snow this morning and still snowing pretty hard.  Roads were a mess so no run outside.  Had the hit the TM, boring.  Watched the original Vertigo this morning.  Good movie, they don't make them like that anymore.

Alarm went off and I turned it off, laid there for a minute and fell back asleep.  Next thing I know it's 7:30 and I've got to get ready to go to work.  No run today.
