Cool Running

Winter and x-mas are here. Have had a lot of good running in the past weeks. Saturday after x-mas we have a group run. Over a 100 runner's will show up. It's the waterfalls run, we will run through the valley, past 3 waterfalls. It will be a good 17 mile's and some good hill's! With that many runners it will be fun.

A Sick & Cold Week

It's been a long week. My girls came over last weekend sick and got me sick. Had good week of running last week, but this week was poor for running. Cold temps and then sick on top of all I had to take it easy. This week I hope to make up for lost miles.

Mizuno Wave Cabrakan

The new shoe's ( Mizuno Wave Cabrakan ) are working out very well. I have been through a lot of shoe's. It is still to soon to say how thay hold up for the long haul. Some good 10mile runs on the trails and I like them! The snow is on the way and that's what I got them for. I will rack up some good miles on this long weekend. Happy Thankgiving!!!

Nice Weekend

We had a great weekend, sunny and warm. Will be all down hill, with winter coming up fast. I had some good run's, low on the over all miles but did a lot of hill's. I have been resting a lot, was sort of off season for me to be ready for all the 100 mile races of 2010. But in the coming weeks I will work on uping my mile's and speed.

Sunny Days

Some of our last sunny & warm running weekends. Nice 8 mile run, on a nice warm fall day. I got a pair of Mizuno wave cabrakan shoe's for my winter training. I use, and love my La Sportiva fire blades. I keep a few pair as backups. I have used many shoe's in the past few years, and the fire blades never let me down. But I wanted to try the mizuno wave, for the grip in the snow.

Halloween

Good 10 mile run up and down hills in the cool fall temps. Starting to work my weekly miles back up, my off season is over, time to move the miles up to be ready for spring 2010. I will start to pick my races soon. I had a good time with my girls going trick or treating, then a pizza party with friends and our kids. My girls got a lot of candy. Good times.

Cool Fall Days

The temps are falling, but I do love running in the fall. The colors the fall smells in the air. Some good 8 mile pine lane runs. My new cold weather gear is working good. I have some good runs of 8 or more miles each day this week. And lot of hills, I run all hills in training no matter how big.
