10 miler

Knocked off a late night 10 miler on the treadmill watching The Biggest Loser. Sounds like the weather is going to get windy, wet and white.
Tomorrow is hump day and it's looking more and more like I'll have the last 2 weeks off in Dec. I can really log some good miles and get my lifting back on track.

Long run on the treadmill

I did my long run of 20 miles on the treadmill. I was hoping for 25 but my legs were still tired from my 10 yesterday. My total this week equaled last weeks 50.

I got a late start today due to a stiff back. I cleaned out my basement yesterday and carried a hot water tank up the stairs. I'm 100% sure that that was the culprit.

The best part about running on the treadmill is I could watch football thru the 20 miles. I'm hoping to bump it up next week.

84 days till The Beast of Burden

I did a total of 10 miles today. This morning on the snow and ice I did a 5 miler and tonight I whimped out and finished on the treadmill. I'm hoping to catch a 25 miler tomorrow to finish out the week.

Another 10 miler in the garage

Wow! I finally figured out how to keep my treadmill from bogging down. I found that sweet spot where I can run as fast as I want. I haven't done 7's in a while. The garage temps must have been in the high 30's so it took a while to sweat. I did a good 10 tonight. I might shoot for mid 50's this week.
The Bills are on right now taking on the Jets.

Easy hump day

Easy day of work and a easy day of lifting and stretching. I ordered a couple of magazines from http://sites.google.com/site/thewinter100/home . UltraRunning and TrailRunner for a early xmas present to myself.
Weather right now is raining hard and is suppose to get cold overnight. I'll probably do tomorrow's run on the treadmill.

Tired Tuesday

I've been out of it all day. Staying up and watching the Saints kick the hoodies butt was worth it.
The snow didn't stay to long but more is on the way!
I ran in the garage tonight doing a slow to fast 10 miler. My treadmill is on the brink of being wheeled out front for the garbage men. It kept on stalling when I would increase the speed and then I would back it down and sneak it back up until it stalled. I finally found a sweet spot on the right side of the running deck that wouldn't effect it. My 10 milers are getting easier and easier.
I have to figure my running schedule for the rest of week and plan on doing it on some snow.

Calling for snow tonight!

I might be running in some snow tomorrow. They are calling for 2-4 inches of wet slushy snow.

I did some abs, chest and legs tonight. I'm trying to get a grasp on my zone diet. Pretzel sticks and pie are sitting there and so far my will power has held up.

Good game between the Saints and Patriots especially with Brady throwing a early interception.
