peaceful run in the snow as the sun came up.

Looks like snow for the next 4 days.

I need to rest today, so lets see if I make it...

in 26:30 includes 5 min w/u then 20 min @ 8.3 mph(7:13p) & 2% grade plus a little cool down to make it 3.5M total. Then jumped on a stationary recumbent bike for 20 min.: 1 min EZ @ level 14 of 20; then 2 min. hard @ level 19; 2min.EZ; 2 min hard for a total of 5 x 2min. hard. My heart rate settled at 141 on the EZ and 158 on the hard. It's amazing how 17 pbm can feel so different. Coach said this was a quad-buster workout, but I felt it more in the butt after the bike.

Stay tuned to Stairs tomorrow!

Keep running!

Is that the resistance? I'm WAY out of shape, I keep my bike on 1 and it still kicks my butt! LOL

Great workout, Steve...you rock!

with Bozo and Karen. I was only supposed to run 50 min., and really it probably didn't amount to much more than 5 miles. We ran easy and it was darn nice! Bozo's a great runner.

Nice and easy. Crunches and pushups are done, and I can bike (at Level 1 LOL) while DeLaney takes her second nap since I am caught up on all my homework. :)

Did some weights and squats pre-run. We are hill deprived in these parts so have to go looking for ups & downs. The bridges along the river downtown do quite nicely and I enjoyed the run with Gary.

Nice workout, Steve. Wonder if you'll feel those quads tomorrow.

Life is good.

Plus....I mailed out my Flattop 5K pre-reg. I want to snag one of those hats! :)

plus the equivalent of many burpees while my Dad and I tile my bathroom. As the "first assistant in charge of monkey work", I end up schlepping the boxes of tile, adding yet another dimension to the workout.

lurvey spring road out onto echo lake and back. Not very fast, but great fun. Ran with Scott F. He didn't like that one much.

three run/three row... both pretty easy. I heard a spot for Medtronic today on the radio. The focus of the short ad was Medtronic's effort to recruit runners who have benefited from their products (pacemakers?) to run the Twin Cities Marathon in October.

wedding pic of Evan in the paper today!

slow on the mill. The only thing significant about this run is I did it. Two weeks ago I would have skipped it.

thanks SHANNON
for getting the Ellsworth Ameriacn reporter to call me !!!!!!
just for that if you do run the s/s run i will let you wear my 100 year old pair that are wooden and when they get wet, gain weight faster than i do in the winter ( wait scratch that this was suppose to be funny and that was not)

another lesson learned !!!!!!!

NEVER talk to a reporter while you have GINGER on a three way call on speaker phone @##$%^^&
during the interview I get a calll from GGGG
well HERE IS is a QUOTE from Ginger about snowshoe running that will not be in the paper I hope.

Ginger said "tell her that snowshoe running is a lot like sex.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE GOOD AT IT TO ENJOY IT "

GINGER
I AM SURE THAT IS NOT WHAT SHE IS LOOKING FOR!!!!!

GINGER STOP TRYING TO HELP

HAVING GINGER ON YOUR SIDE IS LIKE GETTING BACKING FROM FROM TED KENNEDY IN YOUR BID FOR THE WHITE HOUSE( YOU WONDER WHAT YOU DID WRONG TO DESERVE THIS)

I can do this interview all by myself

NOW THIS IS A SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION
THE INTERVEIW IS GOING TO BE IN THE LIFE STYLE SECTION OF THE 2/14 ISSUE WITH PHOTO'S OF THE RUN ON SAT.
NOW ON TO REAL ISSUES
AYLIE
STOP FUSSING ABOUT THE CHEM. STUFF IF WE GET HILLARY CARE I AM SURE THERE WILL BE NO CHEMISTRY ( AND EVEN LESS MEDICINE )

WITH ALL THE DEMS. FLOCKING TO BANGOR AND ORONO THIS WEEKEND I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO GET TO HERMON MNT AFTER THE RACE.

AND BACK TO GINGER I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE " YOU SAID THAT TO HER " HA/HA NOW I KNOW WHY THERE IS AN IGNORE SLASH- BUTTON ON THE PHONE SCREEN

NEXT TIME I WILL JUST CALL HER BACK AND NOT GET IN THESE MESSES
