Nothing else better to do than run.

Nothing much going on today. Church, helping the kids with homework etc…. I did have a chance to swim for about 40 minutes. Great workout!

For some strange reason I was all full of pep and energy at 5:30 this morning and went for a run in the freshly fallen snow. It was so fun and I really tried to push it. I have heard from a lot of people (including Kelli) that the only way I am going to get faster is to actually run faster! So I decided to put it to use. Every part of my started to hurt but it was a good satisfactory hurt that bring progress.

 I really want good things to happen this year and I must be willing to put in the effort. Can't wait to do some of those track repeats. Bring on the Marquis De Sade!

 This afternoon I ran to the office of one of my clients and it was fantastic. Steep uphill heading out and very fast downhill on the way back. Oh, and did I mention that the air is finally clear!? What a difference a couple of storms make.

Too darn lazy to get up this morning. Still trying to shake this sinus headache that has been going off and on for weeks. I have been popping Sudafed like candy but to my surprise, running seems to loosen things up.

 Waited till 9:00pm to go for a run. It was cold dark and windy, but hey, a runs a run. 

Wow! Do I feel crappy! I woke up this morning feeling so sore and hungover (sinus infection induced) that I rolled over and went back to bed. I felt really bad because I have not seen my friends from running group in over a week. I wish things would improve, but the weather probably needs to warm up.

I went ice skating with the Young Men on Tuesday evening and it was a ton of fun but it obviously working some muscles that have not been used in quite a while. If I got in the habit of skating my core would get really strong pretty quick. Not a bad idea, I might start taking my kids. But the next couple of days I have been really sore and it will take a while for it to wear off.

 I am going to Indiana this weekend to see my niece be blessed so I will miss out on the weekend workout but will hopefully get a run in with my brother.

This afternoon I did go out for a run up the canyon. Loaded up on sudafed and Diet Coke I was feeling no pain and ready to go. It was a really slow work-out but felt good to ease back into things.

My trip to Indiana was a welcome break from the normal routine. It was very cold and they had an unusual amount of snow but the air was absolutely clean!

It was great to see my brother's family and meet my new neice. She is a keeper! We had a great time and crammed as much stuff into three days as possible.

 This morning I woke up and it was -8 outside. I called my brother and asked if he wanted to wait a little while for it to warm up. When the temperature rose to a balmy 10 degrees we headed out for a run. We can through the country passing barns, farm houses and little narrow country roads. Simple beautiful. The BBK's would love training out on the hills because there were plenty of them.

I am getting excited to come back in December and run the Tecumseh Trail Marathon in December and experience it all over again.
