36 laps in the pool, 20 minutes on the stair stepper, 20 minutes of weights.

This has been a good week, I feel like I've been getting some good workouts in.

Wow, what a nice morning.  I woke up at my normal gym time but decided I'd rather run outside so I went back and laid in bed for 45 minutes.  5 miles with Nellie on the dirt trail, dogs are so weird, somehow she knows the difference between me going to the gym and not, while I was getting ready she was going crazy at the door so I can't really not take her with me, anyone that excited to go on a run deserves to go.

I'm in LA this week, but I'm staying at the LAX Hilton and don't have a car so it's not really great at all.  Leg felt good this morning so I hit the hotel treadmill for 5.  It was really hot and suffy and made me feel pretty sick.  But the actual running felt good.

Good run this morning, a constant progressive run on the treadmill before heading up to Calgary.  I'm pretty excited about today's run, if I can start running like this consistantly I'll be back in shape in no time.

6 miles on the hotel treadmill in Calgary.  I got on expecting the treadmill to be in km, I quickly learned that it was an American treadmill when I started off at 10.0.

Another good run, my hip really is only sore for about 1/2 a mile and then everything starts funtioning pretty normal.  It's nice to feel good running again.

Decided to not run today and get a nice out side run in tomorrow.  Stuck in Calgary for the day, I tried to get an early flight but all were sold out.

6 miles on the dirt trail trying to recruit pacers for the upcoming Running of the Tigers 5K.  I got 1 recruit but I wasn't able to catch up to the faster girls cause my dog and their dog didn't want to get along.

Ran the Traverse Mountain 5K route today marking and clearing the course, it's going to be really hot for those kids today.

I don't think I every want to plan a race again.  I used Race Splitter on the iPad for timing last year and it was a mess, this year I built my own timing program, I hope it works better.

6 miles on the dirt trail.

5K went really well yesterday, by timing system was slightly better than race splitter.  RFID for sure next year.

I think it's amazing to show kids they can actually run a 5K, so many kids and so many parents said "I cant run that far" or "my kid can't run that far" but guess what, they can and now they will never again say they can't again.

I'm staying at the famous Banff Springs Hotel in Banff Alberta, I really wish I was in 20 miles shape for places like this but I had a really great run this morning anyway.  I just followed the river trail downtown, found a little single track path into the woods and followed it.  Pretty much just aimlessly ran around looking for cool places to run.  A little bit cool this morning, but a light jacket was perfect.  This is the kind of place you think "I could retire here"

It was cold and rainy so I wimped out and went to the hotel gym. What a waste, o'well.

I told myself I'd go running outside rain or shine this morning, well it turned out being sleet, I went out anyway.  Headed out on the Banff Springs Golf Course maintenance road, after about 1 mile I passed the club house and just headed off into the forest without another person anywhere to be seen.  At first I was thinking about bears, then I realized Wolves were probably a real possibility here too.  I really started psyching myself out and turned back around, I don't have the confidence that I have the speed to outrun animals like I used to.

Anyway, it was a nice run.  I saw lots of Elk and Deer, no Bears or Wolves.
