A new record for me 11 miles on the Treadmill, I have been on marathons that seemed shorter, I hate the treadmill.

I had a good run and I hit a huge milestone, I hit 3,000 miles for the year so that is something beyond what I have ever done.  I have run a lot more miles this year and I feel better than ever physically.

Cold, Snowy, wet weather day.  My feet were wet and freezing the whole time it was a long 8 miles but I stuck it out, this is when you build your core strength.  Not looking forward to a long cold winter.

24 Degrees, my toes were really cold, I have got to buy new socks.  It was a pretty good run though.  I remember seeing 2 or 4 degrees last winter I hope I get stronger on dealing with the cold soon.

Wow, 37 degrees today, that was really nice.  It was a fun easy run today.  I am excited about the Snow canyon 1/2 tomorrow.

I felt good about my race, it is not an easy course for me and I took 4 minutes off my time from last year.  I was disappointed that while trying to get gatorade in the last water stop, (they couldn't find it) I was passed by the masters division winner and lost by less than a minute to him.  I definitely would have been excited to get that.  Overall it was good for me, actually it was a little warm at the end which definitely is hard on me.

I went out with a plan for a normal long run and when I came home to meet my running partner after 5 miles the rain started pouring and he didn't show up so I called it a day.  As usual when I did 30 minutes later the weather was perfect.
