Personal:

I am a 37 year old Male.  I have been married now for over 15 years.  I have three kids, all boys.  My boys ages are 14, 11 and 7.  I have always enjoyed running and my wife is slowly being converted.   While I was going through college I didn't do much running so I am having to teach my leg how to run fast again.

Ran on the treadmill again.  Ran for about an hour, I don't know exactly how far or long I ran because about 48 minutes into it I hit the emergency stop on acident.  After running I do some core lifting then ran another hour on the treadmill this time I did run for an hour counting the cool down I ran a little more than 8 miles.

 Kitchen Is finished monday we will move all the applicance in.  We sealed the grout after the kids went to bed.  I still need to put the moding on, which I will do next saturday then it is all done.  Now I just hope I don't get laided off the first of Febuary

Ran for about 20 minutes 2.5 miles on the treadmill, the blister on the bottom of my foot started to get hot and hurt.  I went of and used the Eliptical for 60 minutes I kept my heart rate at 150 to 155 for the hollow time.  The eliptical is alot better for a foot that is more blister then foot then the treadmill is.

I made it through the layoffs again.   So I still have a job.

Went running after work.  The weather felt pretty good when I left, about 40 degrees.  I didn't bring cloves.  I started out the run and the first took a road I should not of.  A dirt road.  The road was muddy.  Ran the first 5 mile at about 7:45 pace.  Then my hands start to kill me.  The temp is dropping very quickly.  By the time I get home the water on the roads are now ice and my hands are bright red.  I am was not prepared of the drop in Temp I should know better.  Ran ten miles in 1:25:?? a 8:30 average My last few miles got slower and slower.   It is amazing how much your hands being cold afects how fast you can run.
