This morning it was 42 degrees and I wore some thin insulated gloves (the dollars gloves you get at the store).  I'm really not looking follow to winter.  Before I started running in the morning now over two years ago,   I used to love winter and hate the heat.   Now I'm thinking that running in the winter isn't fun, and the heat I still  hate but isn't that bad.  Oh well you can't have a box of donuts at your door step every day that's just life

This morning I ran 9.20 miles at an overall 7:17 pace in 1:07.   I did a major hill climb today of over 2 miles from my house all the way to the top of Hospital Way Rd.  On the downhill I did some faster miles, but still taking it easy to keep the recovery going (6:21, 6:57).  This will be the only run again. When you go over Hospital Way Rd.  it will drop you down in the upper campus area of Idaho State University. 

 Our football team got destroyed this weekend by Boise State,  49 - 7.

(Saucony Tangent 3 -  269 miles)

Lunch

I did 300 situps and 100 pushups.   3 one minute stomach tighting technique. 

I tripled my situp and pushup toning exercises to prepare for the Pocatello Marathon, and they seemed to help.  My own theory was you needed a strong upper core to prepare for 10 miles of downhill running (That's really all Pocatello has is only 10 mile downhill not 13).  This really seemed to help in the marathon.

OK, I'll trade you the 42 degree morning for a GA 80-85 degree 99% humidity morning. :-)

Good job on such a fast run this morning.

Okay you win you have it worst. Actually, I love the 40 - 30 degree weather and even 20's. I'm just not ready to see the 10 and 0 degree temperatures yet.

ISU did better than UI which lost to Arizona State 70-0! The coach was quoted as saying the only good thing about that game is that it is over! Here comes UI as the last place team in Division 1-A!

I was expecting to see 3 recovery miles and you went and did a hard mile. You are a beast!

Adam RW - My legs feel really good. Trust me I was trying to keep it slow on the downhill. I really want to recover and be fresh for next week. I'm not trying to push anything this week. I've really believe in recovery and tapering, because your body has to have a break sometime. If I want to do STG than this is the only week I'll really have to recover.

This downhill I took nice and steady. The quads did feel it a little bit on the way down so I still have some deep soreness. But it wasn't anything that was bad or hurt.

I still need to call the race director back and pay for STG. If they will still let me in now.

Looks like you are recovering great from the marathon. This is probably a result of the great shape you are in. I have started the situp/pushup routine as well but I am not up to 300/100 a day. I guess now I have something to shoot for.
