8 mile trail run this morning. Once again I made the mistake of wearing too many layers of clothes. Running in cold weather is new to me. Started out with a group but 1.5 mile out couldn't stand to keep the pace anymore. Running alone in the leafless lifeless woods was kind of creepy with the winter wind whistling through. Thought about turning back a few times. Is deer hunting season. Have silly thoughts about what if there is a hunter that wants to shoot people for fun. (I have seen too many movies). Some of the trails are surrounded by high hills. I find that I go into alert mode looking all around. Heard movement in the leaves. Sound got closer and it was just squirrel. Once I got back on the main trail had decided to head back to my car but changed my mind when I met up with someone and decided to run with her. I really pushed myself to keep up with her. My right leg hurts. Perhaps if I push myself to run at a faster pace every week it will become easier and will become a faster runner and actually keep up with the group. Get kind off annoyed that I am so slow (average pace 13:52 min) and can't stand to run at a faster pace for long. Would think by now I would be able to. Probably doesn't help that I don't hardly get any sleep. Probably wouldn't hurt to clean up my diet a bit and give up the caffeine so I wouldn't be as anxious and sleep better.

| Ran around the neighborhood. Felt good. No pain. Sometimes I was fighting the wind. Enjoyed the wind when it was behind me. Was shooting for three miles but my little old neighbor called me on my cell needing to be rescued from a flooding toilet. |

After
work I ran 5 miles on the treadmill and then did some weight lifting.
Now I am eating baked tilapia and green beans, I think that makes up for
the mocha frape, cappuccino, cookie and mini twix bars I had today.

Ran two miles on the treadmill. Did some push ups and lifted weights. Love how I feel when I am exercising and afterwords.

| After work I went to the gym. I biked 11 miles, ran 3 miles on the treadmill, and then lifted weights. I still have energy!

| Ran 7.57 miles on the trial. Wasn't cold to my surprise. Everything was wet. Few spots were slick, almost wiped out a few times. Kind of enjoy the challenge of running the hills that are covered in leaves hiding the rocks, creates a fun challenge. Ran at a faster pace and set a PR for running through my Saturday trail routine. On the way home was thinking about how I should clean up my diet, that could help my running performance, so would getting more sleep which would require drinking less caffeine. Next week is a new week to start. Thinking calves exercises would be good todo throughout the week too, they sure do hate me on the trail. Wish it didn't get so dark so soon in the fall and winter so I could go on trail runs throughout the week too. Treadmill runs aren't as challenging as trail running.

Finally felt well enough to run. Last week I came down with a cold, drove me nuts not being able to run. Running effects my mood, in a better mood if I get my daily run. Ran two miles on the treadmill in my new shoes that came in the mail last week. I also did a mini yoga workout.

| After work I ran two miles on the treadmill. Yesterday I started eating healthy again. Need to make up for all that holiday feasting I did. Today only bad thing I ate was a snickerdoodle and at least that was after I ran two miles. |

Ran 5 miles on the treadmill. Once I started running this evening I just wanted to keep running. I felt good today. Had a lot of energy.
