Runnin Bubbas

Been a fun winter so far.  I got back in the gym in October.  Felt like I needed to work on my core again.  I have been skiing quite a few times this winter as well.  I figure if my core is good then I should feel physically and mentally stronger.  I haven't really kept track of mileage in quite awhile.  Just needed a break I guess.  I look forward to some consistency again.  

AM:  Comfortable run from my house around DSL at lunch.  Very nice temp with some winds.  8:43AP.      

PM:  Gym workout: 1/2 mile up and down on TM easy pace.  Back(row, press, pull downs, and rev delts) Abs(ext. obl and ball planks).

very low energy today.  Lathargic in fact.  easy miles around DSL.  no watch...

easy miles out and back from house before heading to nyc this morning.  nice morning...

AM:  easy miles around Harrison and Newark.  Lots of garbage on the streets.  Really makes me thankful for where I live.  Very cold and windy.  8:30AP

AM:  Really cold morning again here in NYC.  Was able to get out and do a small run.  Stiff and cold the entire way.  Big artic blast through the city the past two day.  Didn't pack enough running clothes.  Was 2 degrees yesterday.  Felt a little tight but overall easy miles through Central Park.  Always enjoy seeing everyone out and about in Central Park. 8:30AP

AM:  Cool out and back and back and out on High Line Park trail in Chelsea(NYC).  The rain was nice.  Felt good.  Headed home to slc today...

sick and sick...

PM:  Been sick with a very bad cold for a week.  Decided to test myself at the gym.  The cough I have had has been horrible.  No energy all week and it took forever to recover.  Did a few on the TM very easy.  Circuit workout with Randy afterword.  Felt good again.  

Noon:  Lunch run with my buddy Ben M.  Out and Back on Canal trail here in Draper from his house.  Longest run in about a year.  Fun to talk with Ben and run with someone.  Haven't done this in awhile.  Did some core at the gym later.  Someone stole my swimshorts in the locker.  Guess they needed them more than me.  8:59AP

no watch just a jaunt on canal.  looking forward to getting back to training.

Out and Back along Canal again from my house.  Temp was awesome but a little windy.  Ran a little early for me this morning because I am traveling to nyc and florida this week.  It was fun to run in the dark though.  Have not done that in awhile.  Running is fun again.  Did a progessive run.  First mile was really just trying to wake up.  9:06, 8:12, 8:02, 7:52, 7:47,  :32 (7:15AP). 8:12AP

In NYC on business.  My hotel is near Chelsea Piers.  So I headed out and back on West Street and ran to Pier A in Battery Park to see the Statue of Liberty, Freedom Tower, Finacial District.  Really pretty day here in the city.  So many cool things to see.  I saw a nyc traffic cop pull a lady over just before West St/Murray St. intersection.  I don't think I have ever seen a cop pull someone over in the City so I guess it happens.  I am sure she got off with a warning right? Very easy miles the whole time.  8:30AP

Quick jaunt along West St. bike/running pathway again this morning. Man yeste Day was a long day. All I had time for today was a short run. Not what wanted but is what it is. Headed to Florida tonight for more meetings. 

Woke up very sick.  No run.

Thought about running this morning but still felt like my energy level was supsect.  Going to get one more night of good sleep and run tomorrow.  The flu bug sucks.  MIH

Another Saturday in the books.  Major winds this morning.  Other than the wind, it was a very nice morning.  Saw my buddy Ben M. out on Canal while I was out.  He ran a 1/2 mile during my route and then moved on.  Easy miles the whole time.  Good miles logged.  Felt like I kept it at 8 minute pace the whole time but the wind definitely hindered that.  8:19AP

Walked 2 miles with my mom after my run.  Fun to have her here and talk to her about life. MIH

Out and back again on Canal from my house. Had a good window with the weather this morning. Patches of strong head and cross winds but overall decent.  Always love no shirt days.  Pretty amazing this late in November.  I had several people laugh when I ran by and just looked at me as if I am crazy. Legs were very responsive and stamina is coming back just fine.  8:09AP

easy miles along Canal.  Shingles sucks.  One eyed pirate today.  8:25AP

Had a fun date night with Ang at the Jazz game last night. Are some cupbop and a peanut butter cup shake from Iceberg. Not the right food to eat for sure but we had a very enjoyable date and that was fun. Hung with my parents for a little bit and then went to bed. Got plenty of sleep though. So I woke up feeling pretty refreshed. 

Dad decided not to run with me today so did a solo effort. Canal and back to PR into Draper Park down Fort up 132nd to13th East which takes me back to PR and then turned off onto Boulter which leads back to Canal and the street next to my house. Splits were decent. Last 3 miles the wind was brutal. It was brutal the whole run. My dad met me at just past 6 miles to give me a sip of water and take my shirt. It was hot today even with the 25 mph winds. Glad to log some more miles again today. Enjoying the journey
