Well, this was my attempt to slow my run down,  I just don't feel comfortable running much slower than 7:00 pace on the treadmill,  and I figure if my HR stays below 150 it's in the General Aerobic range.  Threw in some 1/4's at the end for a little speed work.

 I took my 8 year old snowboard for his first time today, Perfect day wish I could have gotten of the Chickidee lift.

New version of my rolling hills simulation,  I set the treadmill to 8.5 mph and never changed the speed again, 3 sets of progressive hill climbs for 3 miles and then a 1 mile rest at 0% incline in between each set,   2% = comfortable  3%= feels like I'm working  4% = hurts.

Woke up way to early this morning and didn't even try to get back to sleep, was at the gym on the treadmill at 4:30.  Felt really good from the start this morning, one of those days where I just kind of felt like I was floating the whole run.  Ran my last mile very fast just cause I could.  Went and lifted weights for about 30 minutes and then sat in the hottub for another 15.  Great way to start off a busy busy work day,  actually busy busy work month.

Yesterday in an attempt to eat healthier I went to the grocery store before work and stocked up on a bunch of fruit to snack on through the day instead of eating a bad lunch.  Well that turned out to be a bad mistake and made this mornings run pretty miserable.  Guess it's back to Peanut butter and Honey sandwiches for breakfast and hamburgers for lunch.

Other than the stomach issues I felt good this morning,  once again pushed a little harder than I should have, threw in a 3 mile MP Tempo run, started out intending to go 4 but my stomach said no.

Talk to Riverton Paul at the gym today, he is looking good and walking fairly normal.  Hopefully he will be back at it soon.

Such a busy work day I didn't even get a chance to get online all day, which is weird cause that's kind of what I do.  Long story short, I was configuring switches/routers/ and access points all day long for 3 large conferences coming up so I didn't have a chance to get on.

Just a normal 10 mile run on the treadmill with a fast last mile for fun.

I feel bad, I was suppose to go run with Sasha again this morning and was looking forward to it.  Even verified that we were still on last night but when I woke and this morning and saw a 2' snowdrift in my driveway I decided it probably wasn't that great and idea even if Sasha was still up to it.  I'll probably read about every ones great long runs in the snow this morning while I was wimping it out at the gym.  Oh Well.

I'll probably pay for this run a bit tomorrow but I had fun pushing the pace, my right hip started bothering me a little bit, which is strange I've never had hip issues.
