Tapirs Training Run

Good run and a beautiful day - we had a nice group of about nice that spilt up into three different paces - most of us ran 8 miles with some running a little less - there were lots of folks using the park and trail - it was a very nice day for the last day of the year - my knee did very well but I was wearing my support for it which is uncomfortable but does help when it is giving me trouble - we had a nice gathering after the run - I have had a real good year and part of it has been due to running and being a part of this group and the Galloway/Raleigh program - Happy New Year my runner friends.

Friday Lunch Walk

OK well not a great walk but at least I did walk - I think I could have crawled faster - knee was hurting again - called Jessica while on the walk and left her a message - she called me back and told me she did have time to see me - she said the knee and ligaments were OK it was a muscle problem which was good because it would heal faster - she work on it and everything else and so far it does feel a lot better - time will tell - I am still planning to run Saturday -

Thursday Lunch Walk

Good walk but disappointing - my knee just does not seem to be healing - I was really slow walking and could not seem to go any faster - the knee was not hurting but every once in a while I would get a little twinge out of it - no real problems or pain but it is just not right - I am wondering if this is something Jessica can help me with?

Thursday Strength Training

Good session - was was not sort just a little stiff after my last workout - when lifting today could tell i was a bit sore.

Tuesday Strength Training

Finally got my self back to the gym - good workout - I had stopped lifting when Dad died - it was just a way to may my life simpler - I have no excuse for how long it has taken me to get back to it - It went well I did upper body and arms today - I was able to do the same weights for all my lifts - I do what I cll explosive slow burn - I do one set of each lift, I explosive start each lift then complete the lift as a slow steady lift positive and negative - I also do core workouts every time I lift - I did have to reduce the weights on my core routines by 10 pounds - I was a good session -

Washington Crossing Marathon

Good run but very very hard - there was only a marathon but I just ran a half - this was my first double and I finished it well but was very tired not real sore but a bit stiff today - it was very extremely dam cold - I could just not get any speed up - I was so cold even after running the first of three loops I was still cold - I believe that the cold sapped some of my energy not sure about this I guess I was slow just because I had run the day before but ti did not seem like the problem - it was a difficult route real hilly - it was also very pretty and a nice place - again Jon, Rob, Eric and Chad run Fulls - I just do not see how they do it - good job guys - this makes 12 halves this year - it should give me 4 moons but I am just not sure to Half Fanatics will count this even - it was a Fat-Ass run self supported but there were about 25 other runners - I was disappointed with my time but pleased I completed the event - the even took place is a state park where Washington cross the Delaware river during the Revolutionary War -

Fortitude for First Descents Half Marathon

Good race - this was a small but very well done event - it was put on to allow a 50 stater to complete here 50 states but attracted a lot of runner - the route was real nice I needed 2 lap to complete the half - it was pretty come but the volunteers were great and stayed at their post inspire of the cold - I ran too fast I was supposed to run a 16:30 pace to save energy for the half on Sunday but I was feeling so good and it was so nice out there - this was a one time event or I would recommend it to other runner - I was there with Jon, Rob, Eric and Chad - a good time -
