Good run on the lifetime treadmill. Felt really smooth actually. On my way to Florida now, probably more treadmill runs cause I hate alligators, and humidity.

The time change made me sleep in too long so I just had time for a quick workout on the gym elliptical, then a quick jog on a boardwalk through the everglades.  No Alligators.

Nice run around the hotel property, out a long walking path and back and then around to the boat docks and back along the wooden boardwalk.  It's pretty cool in the morning and the humidity reminds me of when I lived in Mississippi, I can see why people would retire here.

Flew home yesterday woke up on East Coast time so I went to the gym.  8 really good miles, longest run I've had since Novemeber of last year.  I promised an old High School friend I would get him to Boston next year, so we are signed up to run Big Cottonwood this fall.  I think the hardest thing about this promise will be getting myself back into BQ shape over the next 4 months.  the one thing I have going for me is mentally I know I can do it, he still has to get over that hurdle.

7 miles on the treadmill.  I think I need to try and get in at least 3 good treadmill runs in per week.  I just can't push myself outside as hard as I can on the treadmill.

6 miles on the gym treadmill, now I'm at the Airport on my way to SanJose to my corporate offices for training.  Should be a good week, I get to meet all the people I work with but never actaully see.

I am so pissed off at Nike for taking the best running shoe ever and turning it into this

That I decided to follow allie's lead and went and got some Sketcher GoRuns.  I'll say right off I don't like them as much as the original free's, my feet feel kind of claustrophobic but I like the price and I'm willing to give them a shot.

Hip was hurting this morning so I went to the hotel gym, it was a really aweful gym and the elliptical went "clank, clank, clank" so after it got light out I went running anyway.  Found a canal trail and followed it for 3 miles and then back.  Glad I did, it was perfect running weather.

8 miles on the Lifetime treadmill before heading to the Airport.  I did 5 x intervals the last mile at sub 6:00 pace.  Which felt good.

Now I'm off to my favorite place to run, San Francisco I'm planning on haveing a real good week of running, hopefully the body holds up.

Really nice run in San Francisco this morning, the only problem was I started too late, it was already light at 5:30 and to many people were out, and when I say people, I mean crazy people.

For some reason it is just easier to run here than any other place, sea level, nice cool breeze and lots of people to try and catch up too.  I really want to make it all the way to the Golden Gate bridge this week, maybe I'll try and get a 4:30 start tomorrow and see what happens.  It's about a 14 mile round trip which is kind of far for me right now but I really love doing it.

I think I'm really going to pay for this one tomorrow.  got out early as planned, ran out to the GoldenGate bridge as planned but by the time I got there I realized I was going to be lucky to make it back, hip was hurting, legs were just sore so instead of climbing the hill to the bridge I turned around and came back.  Good run but I think jumping from 8 miles as my long run to 12 was too much.

I remember when this used to be my daily run and would only take me about 1:20 to complete.  Today it just about killed me and took almost 2 hours.  With a site seeing break and bathroom break.

I got on the early flight home yesterday, but my bag didn't.  It came home on my original flight last night so this morning I went to the gym and then to the Airport to get my bag.

Started my progressive run .2 mph faster than normal, increase .1 mph every 1/2 mile.  I't slowly starting to come around.

The Ol' 10 mile loop around Smiths on Murdock trail,  it really bothers me that I just can't physically make my legs move me faster but I should stop complaining and just be glad I'm running.

Today is the BigHorn 50, the race that destoryed me but somehow I was wishing I could be at the start line this morning.

After flying into LA yesterday morning I went straight to a best ball golf tournament, I'm not a very good golfer any more but I'd have to say I held our group together nicely.   Anyway, the point is it was very hot and I think I was a bit heat exhausted, then we had a party to go to, (with camels, and belly dancers)  so this morning I just wasn't really feeling it.  30 minutes on the elliptical, 3 miles on the treadmill.

First Bike ride of the year.  I've just been so busy and lazy I forgot to get my bike down.  Went with my old work buddies up SouthFork.  I can still beat them to the top but my legs were pretty Jelloy twards the end.
