Another Christmas come and gone. Man do we over eat or what? So much good food. I have next to no discipline when it comes to saying no until my belly hurts.
I got the entire Star Trek Next Generation TV series on DVD. There is 176 episodes. I figure that is 176 morning runs on the tread mill. How perfect is that? What a great way to start each and every day. The first day (today) is the 2 hour pilot. Long run today. I hope everyone gets outside tody for a little excercise. Get your body started and moving so it can burn off the excess Christmas food. Happy boxing day:)

Back from chicago and great town I say. They have some food that kicks butt. I had some smoked ribs at this small hole in the wall bar smoke Daddy’s. WOW!!! they rocked. I never thought i could eat that much. The runing there was great too. The hotel had these treadmills with TV;s on the consoles. Very neat. did some running in and around town too. Nice place to run. What a clean city. We here in hamilton and Toronto could learn a thing or too from them with regards to that. Also they had like NO advertising. You know how when you drive on the garner it looks like the junk mail you get delivered to your house daily? There hiways were practically advertising free. In and around downtown too…next to none. Very refreshing site I tell ya. Well my main point here….if your visiting a new town or city? There is no beter way to get to know the city then go for a run.
run well my friends

Today was a day off run training. so what did I do? Went for a run. But I didn’t take and ipod, or heartrate monitor, gps. Just me and the dogs hitting the trails. No destination, no limits. I like to do that every once and a while to remind me that running is fun. Once the dogs realized that i wasn’t stopping when they wanted to they fell into stride. As Cesar Milan put it, we were exploring. Every once and a while they would stop to sniff something and pee or poo….then sprint like crazy with tonges flapping trying to catch up. It was beautiful. Light rain/snow/sleet, 3 degrees, light layer of snow. My shoes would dig into the snow tossing little snow peices off the back of my shoes. When we hit a big hill I would dig in and try to tear up the hill. a dog on either side, looking at me with those eyes that said…come on… faster…..beat the hill….. race me… Nothing quite like the site of 2 dogs in they’re element loving life. Working.
run well
Another week down and another week beginning. Always the best opportunity to look at how you did and how your going to do. Last week, none too good. In my defence, it was the flu that got me down. I did manage to fight it off and get in some good miles by the weekend. But no where near the 80 km i had planned. It is amazing how the phlem in the throat makes it hard to breath while running.
So it’s monday and i’m going to get off to a great start. Swim, bike and weights at the Y.
Congratulations to the Calgary Stampeders and they’re Grey Cup win.
Run for your life
Oh yes, Here it is upon us again. Another Season of Santa Claus parades. looking outside at the first one here it appears to be raining. how perfect. I’m sick, have not trained in 2 days and now must dance down a street with my drum in the rain for an hour or so. Sounds like fun. I’m off
