| Warmer day, close to 50. I missed yesterday - no details, but I am hoping that as April has broken through that I can get back in the groove and set some PR's this year. Legs and Back & Ab Ripper X- P90x 8 miles, felt good. That actually makes me happy since 2 days ago it felt good too. After the blah running I had before it is most welcome. |

| Kenpo X in the am for an hour. 8 miles in the afternoon, and once again it felt good. This routine is an experiment by me, but I think I will be using it for a little while if it is going to keep my running feeling good even if my miles may be down for a few weeks. Had missionary friends in from Kenya, Jordan and South America - was nice to see and talk to them all. |

| From 70 to 38! is that good or bad? eh no worries. No watch, but a good run, felt good despite my sore throat and cough (allergies... at least I think so... I have not been sick in almost 3 years... maybe I am catching something). Cardio X + 8 miles |

| Its official, its not just allergies, I am sick. Got my run in early and then realized I had a small fever. I worked only a short time and came home early - first time in over two years that I missed any work for me being sick - or just flat out being sick for that matter - (not the kids ha!) Wanted to do my workout as well, but the body aches were too much. Hope I can get some strength and energy back for tomorrow. |

| Good to get out. The last several days of my runs were 72, 60, 38, 36, 52, 84 and today a 56 with a cool rain. No real complaints since I am really starting feel better despite that lingering cough - it just can be tough dressing right! Anyway, nice run, saw 3 deer and some other things of interest :) |

| Nice sunny, 55 degrees. A bit of a tempo run - Started at a nice easy pace, middle of the run was the fastest then slowed down the last 1.75. I would give you splits, but no Garmin - ran totally on what I felt, but I can tell you the ave pace 8:05 for the whole run. So nothing impressive. PM workout (which included taking apart a bunk bed and then re-assembling it...kids) |

| Pleasant weather to run in. Shoulders and Arms +Ab Ripper X + 8 mile run. Feel pretty good... work was a little long today, but tomorrow should be better - I would like to get up and work out elsewhere in the am, but that is not going to work out - so I have to go to plan B. |

| Mid 60's run. Still no Garmin which is a blessing and a curse - either way my mind wandered during the entire run. A little sore today so I opted to skip the P90 for a change because I wanted to keep my run. |

| 51 today with a steady rain and headwind (with some strong gusts). Today was a good run. Although it was not blazing fast or anything special, it is the first long run in quite some time that actually felt good. The last several I felt like I was sick, or struggling or just did not have it. It was nice to feel good during the run. 8:01 avg pace - I have no splits and ran by feel (no garmin, just stopwatch) which I was happy with considering the conditions outside. |

| So at the hotel, north of Detroit. Its 67 back home and I am in a winter weather advisory. Ok nice. So off to the treadmill. I looked at it and said eh- I will do an easy few miles and then use one of these preset runs. The 60 minute one looks fine, I mean I am looking for an easy run so that would be fine. Its starts off like expected, 4.5 mph for a minute and then 5.0 for a minute, the 5.5 for a minute raising the grade to 2%. I am thinking, okay I wanted easy, but this is too easy... but I wait a few and then it jumps to 7.5 mph... okay now I am moving and the 2% grade made it not so easy. Then every minute the grade changes. 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 3%, 4% - you get the idea. Well after 20 minutes it got pretty darn challenging for that easy run I thought I was having as it went 5%, 6%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 6%, 7%... you get the idea again... it finally got down to the 4% and less in the last 7 minutes. So it was a pretty good run since it kept me on my toes (while I tried to watch the game show network). |

| Rainy run... my legs always feel weird after running on a treadmill for a few days and then back to the roads. Wonder why that is. I'm tired from travels. |

| Took a new route today, liked the benefit that came with that. The run was pretty progressive until a side pain, not sure what that was all about. It was not a side stitch, just a pain higher up, almost under the arm. Faded after a bit. Light rain felt good. |

| Took the last 2 days off running and did mainly core workouts. My groin muscle is giving me trouble again and even was walking with a bit of a limp yesterday. I am not sure what to try next. I will continue to do exercises, use ice and rest when possible, but it is very annoying. Wonderful day to run. AM 8 and PM 4 - great weather as the storms held up for the day. I am trying not to complain, I am thankful for everything, just hard when I want to take things to the next level but get held up by my own body. |

| AM 8 - good run, peaceful morning, a few degrees cooler than yesterday but all dry... PM 4 - got a break just before sunset and ran just after the rain and ran with a very bright rainbow! It was vibrant and just made the evening run go very well. |
