Cheesey bottom crust

Greensprings then up to Middleton powerlines trail. Nice evening run. Saw a truck rollover in BuenaVista. Ouch. Knees got tender towards the end of the run.

Up to Highland and then up the Parkway. Quite the hill run tonight. Felt good and even dipped into the mid 5's for a while just for fun. How anyone can run a whole marathon at that pace is just amazing to me.

Meet up with Bill, Dave and Steve and ran over Formaster and back along Mall Dr. Steve tried to kill a couple kids when he jumped into the pile of leaves that -unknown to him - they had buried themselves in. Good stuff. Then did another mile with Dave. Not to bad a run but my knees are still getting tender after about 5 miles.

Parkway out to Millcreek trail. Wasnt really feeling much like running and it was hard to get out and get going. Just poked along and tried to not think to hard about anything but just having a fun jog. Started to feel better about mile five and for the rest of the run it was enjoyable.

Ran out to the St. George industrial park and back. Ended up doing the second 5 almost a minute per mile faster than the first 5.Tried to take it easy cause im starting to feel burnt out and its getting hard to get out and run.

Club run around Washington.

Grapvine with Kings Row extension.

For some reason I thought I would run out to towards Little Black Rock and back today. Took some gloves cause it was supposed to be getting cold today. By the time I got out 6 miles I was down to just shorts. In the middle of Dec and no shirt. I was getting some crazy looks from people driving by. Weird. Had fun and felt really good until about mile 13. I think I was getting dehydrated cause I didnt take any water. Stupid I know. Had to walk for half a mile then was able to crawl home.

Eight wonderfully uneventful treadmill miles. A bit to cold to be outside with the snow.

Greensprings. Got a little sprinkle and some wind about halfway through the run but thankfully it stopped after a few minutes. Good run with several sub seven miles.

Treadmill miles with some speed thrown in. Decided against running outside tonight for some reason. I should have cause running to and from the rec center was kind of wet and chilly but fun.

Club run down onto the river trail. Went a couple extra miles at the end with Ruth.

Great run out to Quail Creek with Dave. Had fun talking about everything and enjoying the brisk morning. Havent gone this far in a while and I was a bit nervous about how Id hold up but I felt really good and didnt hold Dave back too much I dont think. I was feeling really good about myself  until I got home and Emily made fun of my skinny legs that dont even fill out the running tights.

Was planning on a little more milage but I was at the rec center and had my son with me and someone complained that he was on the machine by me so I just left. That place is a joke.

Greensprings. Man i dont think Ive been that cold in quite awhile. My hands are freeking frozen even with gloves. Had a fun run dispite the cold. Bodys feeling really good. The knees are finally adjusting to the increasing mileage.

Middleton. Nice pre Christmas eve party run. Started to snow on the way back so that was fun.

Millcreek. Yesterdays rains made the dirt and sand easy to run in but the wind was blowing pretty good on the way out so that made it kind of a tough jog. Coming back was nice with no wind.

Ran on old highway 91 out to Harrisburg and back. Started out thinking I shouldnt have worn a longsleeve shirt but was glad I did after several miles. For some reason it got colder the further I went. Legs got pretty tired towards the end and the right knee started hurting pretty good. I was able to finish pretty strong even with all that.

Around Formaster to St. George and home. Took it easy and tried not to worry about how fast or slow I was going. Just enjoyed the jog.

Greensprings reverse. Good to get out while the sun is still up and its warmer. Knees are feeling sore again.

Fields. Ran two miles of warm up and then five miles at 6:30 then the rest a little over 7. It felt good to get some faster pace miles in.
