Two Good Runs

Saturday, December 29:

St Croix Valley Runners, five miles in 46:30, pace 9:18. Slow running today because of the snow pack on the trails and road shoulders, but good company. Wayne, Gauss, Dave, Dave, Roy, and myself. Twenty degrees, tights and knee protectors, four layers up top. Nike Miler shoes. My legs felt very heavy this morning, but I suspect that has mostly to do with the things I have been doing OTHER than running. Grandson in town, parties, up late, and whatnot. In fact I could use a nap.

Friday, December 28:

North St Paul Community Center track once more, just a fairly lazy four miles at a pace of about 8:30. Slight pain in the right knee again - I hope that won’t be an ongoing and worsening problem. Not quite enough to take it to the doctor yet, but maybe soon.



Yesterday's party food: A little free-range no-antibiotic no-hormone bison, a little more organic turkey, organic carrots with onions, organic sweet potato, organic chard with pistachios and cranberries, variety long-grain rices with sage & thyme. Not shown: Beer and deserts :-)


Today's breakfast: Organic whole gluten-free oatmeal, organic lowfat milk, blueberries, Don's fruit/berry/nut mix, organic walnuts, banana, chopped cocoa beans.
