Running out of time

Finally got well enough to run again. The weather turned nice for a few days and I got sick so couldn't enjoy it. So here it a high 27 today and I 'm ready to run on the treadmill.

6 miles on a cold day but sun was shining bright and winds were light. I lifted weights before work and was sore from stretching carpet at the house over the last 3 days. Less than 2 weeks out from Bandera 100k National Championship race. Goal is for top 20.

Finally back up to full strength after the cold. I ran into Russel Allison over on the Sutton Trail, we ran another lap around the trail and then headed towards his house. Russell has done a lot of Ultrarunning before it was well attended. He competed in the race across America that lasted about 2 months at 50-60 miles a day. And he also is owner of Andy Alligator an amusement establishment. It was great talking with Russell it really made my 12 miler go by quick. 1:40:22

I jumped on the treadmill in the evening for 5 calorie roasting miles to work off some of the trash I ate on New Year's Eve.

37:17

8 miles at lunch wind was strong out of the south. 1:05:15

To stay out of the wind I ran a couple 7 mile laps on Draper mtn. bike trails. My Garmin Forerunner measured each lap right at 7.20 as I cleared and restarted after each lap. 1:06:19 and 1:04:31
