1 hour on the elliptical followed by 30 minutes of light weights.

Apparently it doesn't matter how fast or slow you run down a really steep hill for 26 miles, it still hurts the next day.

I've decided I want to get back in shape and go back to where I left off, I want to set some PR's.  I'm kind of bored with jogging around everywhere, I just need to somehow be smarter this go around and not get myself hurt again.  I don't think it's going to happen this week though, I can barely walk up stairs.

This is what gym memberships are for.  Planned on riding my bike today but I can't even not crash when the roads are dry.

1 hour on the elliptical, about 5 actual minutes of weights cause I just wasn't really into it.

7.5 miles on still sore legs today in 1 hour.  Followed by 20 minutes of weights, followed by sitting in the hot tub.

I added a fat picture, I need to do it every once in a while to remind me why I started running.  I'm not the guy who was on the high school track team, or wrestling team and then just let myself go after I got married.  I was always on the chubby side, I was a fat kid, fat all through high school, never played any team sports although I did bike and snowboard.   So I think the fact that I didn't get into shape until my 30's is almost more amazing.  I'm pretty upset that I have let myself go this year, I'm still nowhere near where I used to be, but I really need to get motivated again.

Same run as yesterday, followed by core stuff.  No hot tub.

Has anyone ran in Barcelona before?  I mean besides the Olympians,  I'm going there on Sunday for 2 weeks and am wondering how the running is.

Well now I'm excited, I went online and it makes it sound like Barcelona is the greatest place on earth to go running.  Perfect weather, trails along the beach and trail running in the mountains.

Took the day off since I have to fly out of the country this weekend and work for the next 2 weeks.  Went on a very nice bike ride up American Fork canyon to "see the leaves"  it was very beautiful, and very cold, especially when I started coming back down the canyon at 40Mph. 

My right knee is bothering me since I got my new bike, I probably just need someone who knows what they're doing help me adjust some things.

13 miles with Ryan this morning for his 1 week out from St. George run.  Did I mention I'm glad I'm not going?
