might just be closer

Ran four miles north on parkway, I was still tired from the flight home from Hawaii so my legs felt 100 pounds each. I did my bootcamp upper body exercices three sets of each. at least by next week I shoud be recovered.

Run with Brent and Sammy, Sammy was super running dog today, happy and fast. 

Being this is my day off I work a lot harder and have less time for a run. So this beautiful fall afternoon I'll have to do with six miles. It was warmer than any day last week wish we had more fall days like this.

Three miles with my running partner Sammy thou she was slowing me down today, minus 10 commado points for her. Finally I ran two and half out on the MPW[Murray Parkway]. Beautiful day, wish this perfect weather would stick around all winter. Counted 14 runners out on the trail and twice that on bikes must be the weather. Three sets of upper body exercises and yoga stretches along the way. 

Ran with Brent and Sammy three miles felt great beautiful day, then took Sammy home and Ran four with Brent. Brent got a kick out of passing other runners I find it gives me motivation to run better and faster and I do like to chic those men. 

It was a beautiful day just the right temp no wind to speak of, the sun streaming through the golden leaves is uplifting but feable. Sammy was not really fun to run with today so we turned around at one mile, then Brent and I ran five with some pick ups.  Brent usually doesn't really like to stop and wait while I do my boot camp exercises; three sets each; I also do some yoga stretches. Probably because he didn't feel well today he didn't even say a word about it.

We ran two with Sammy droped her off and ran four more.

I think this is the best fall weather in years it makes me glad I'm a runner so I have an excuse to be out in the day.

Today was a beautiful day we ran the Sandy Turkey Trot Brent ran a good race and I did not, probable because of some extra weight I gained in Hawaii. Tomarrow I will start a better diet.

When I got up this morning and looked out my windows I saw fog not much else. We live practacally on the Jordan Parkway I think the mist off the river came up to haunt us weeks late for Halloween. Thankfully it disapeared by the time we ran our Veterans Day run, thats fitting because Brents' a veteran. Sammy went three today and was a real trooper, droped her of and ran seven more north on the parkway lovely to see all the regular people and dogs out on a beautiful fall day.

On the beautiful Murray-Jordan Parkway I ran three miles with Sammy and then I ran four more by myself. Tryed to catch a stray cat don't know what I'd do with it if I did, it really looks skinny. I ran OK did a few pick ups on hills.

Actually it was a warm beautiful day on the Murray-Jordan Parkway Sammy, Brent, and I ran three miles then we droped Sammy off then Brent and I ran five more. I do enjoy suprising Brent with pickups It really makes the run go by much faster. Now its time to Suprise Brent with the chore of putting up the Christmas Decorations at least its sunny.

It could have been Sept. it was so warm ran  six miles north on parkway it was really windy though.

It was to cold to run fast! Three with Sammy three north into the wind burrrrr.

One mile with Brent and Sammy, five more with some pickups on the hills. Brent was tired from yesterday so I ran ahead some. It was cold so I had a chance to run in my new ten year club for St. George jacket.

Another Beautiful run on my parkway at least it feels that way when I'm practicaly the only person on it! Two miles with Sammy she was slow today then five more north with pickups on the hills.  I also did my upper body excersies along the way.

What a beautiful chilly day I decided to take my camera glad I did 53 pictures later including a Bald Eagle! Again I felt like it was my parkway very few people only two runner one took my picture for me.

Wow we got alot of snow at least eight inches and we ran in it it was great! Sammy ran three with us she about pulled my arm off talk about a snow dog if we had some more dogs like her they could run in the Iderod. I think she wanted to run farther but its hard to hold your arm out like that. It was a real good workout.

Again I was all alone on my parkway not to cold but slushy wet feet. Sammy didn't want to go today so ran all alone it was peaceful.

Two miles with Sammy south then three more north. Again hardly a soul out must be the season.

Six HARD! miles in deep snow, three with the snow dog and three with my intreped hubby although he may have lost a few comando points, he complained quite a bit. I love him anyway.

Wow what a cold day three miles with Sammy three miles alone. I picked it up on the hills as per rules, sometimes I feel like following rules sometimes I don't.  Anyway the parkway was almost empty and I did't mind.

Good run, cold, cold, Sammy had fun, hubby was hubby, felt good on the repeat surges. 

Three with Sammy south then two north on the parkway. It was a pretty nice run not too cold. I actually did a couple pickups and felt good.

When I started my run it was sunny windy and 48 degrees, as Sammy and I ran south a stray basset hound puppy almost grown came from behind and goosed Sammy.  She lit out and nearly pulled my arm off the basset hound then kept running around us, I thought we would have to bare the harrasment the rest of the run but just then a man with two dogs going the other direction caught the interest of the basset hound, he happily followed them.

We ran on with only the wind harrasing us. Almost to the turn aound point at 7100 so. we saw Olaf, an old running friend, stopped and talked to him about the Disney World Marathon three weeks from Sunday.  He is taking his family on vacation and running the marathon.  We have run it twice, nice to see a old friend.  The weather turned from good to terrible, I had run into the wind the whole way south and now going north the wind pelted me with first rain, then miserable sleet! So Sammy and I raced home just barly missing the hale.  Sammy was so proud of herself when we got home, she loves running in crummy weather.

Oh what a beautiful morning sun shining with not so beautiful ice and lots of snow. We ran south on plowed parkway yea! Lots of ducks and Canadian Geese honking and quacking and the rest of the birds sitting on the tree branches all puffed up against the cold about 22 degrees. Droped Sammy off and we were off north on the parkway there were lots of runners from team in training we were slightly tempted to drink their power aid of course we didn't.

I was unnaturaly tired after our run so took a quick nap. all the extra work and worry from Christmas must be tacking it's toll.

I felt like a slug so after some thought I put on my new trail running shoes and new tights and ran two miles north on my parkway. Trecherous as it was beautiful and the sunset was no slouch eaither. My new gear was just the ticket.

Our waterheater is being replaced today so we had to hurry and run before the plumber came (our son-in-law). I was so cold my legs were numb but Sammy the snow dog had a grand old time, she needs a harness so when she drags me its an even pull. I did a few pickups but its pretty hard on snow and ice.

Happy New Year!!...almost. Great run today for Sammy the snow dog, I might have pulled something slipping and sliding on the parkway had some fun anyway at least they plowed the trail.
