No miles today but got a nice workout at Boot Camp. The headband was soaked afterwards, so it was a good one. Lots of running, some weights, some core, some pushups. A little bit of it all.

6 tough miles this morning. Boot Camp yesterday worked a lot of leg and butt muscles and I sure felt it today. Gorgeous morning, not too cold.

Boot camp. It were a tough one today boys and girls. Some new girl decided to raise her hand and she designed all the workouts. Lots of stability ball things (hate them) and other sorts of craziness. Not as sore as the Monday one, but still lots of lower body stuff. Will probably be sore tomorrow. Good workout, but the girl is nuts.

5 miles in a skiff of snow and 23 degrees. Wore a jacket for the first time this year and it was nice to be warm but not nice to be super sweaty (3 layers on top). My rear was cold - do they make a nice fleece running underwear to make my bum warm? That would be nice.

There was just a light dusting of snow on the country road and it was interesting to see all the animal tracks going side to side & all around, zig zagging up the road. Was it a cat, a skunk, a raccoon or all three? I also saw some dog tracks and as I rarely see dogs wandering about I'm guessing it was a coyote or two. Fun stuff that leads to wondering what it would like like if I were out all night, and makes me want to get a trail cam so I can get a better idea of what exactly wanders around in my backyard canyon. Last year a mountain lion killed a deer down there - we didn't see the lion, but the marks on the neck and the meat that was precisely taken was confirmed by Fish & Game to be a lion kill. And we get black bears also. There's never a dull moment at my house.

Anyhow, my average pace on today's jaunt was 8:45. And now back to my regularly scheduled work.

Too busy of a morning to get out for a run then later on I could have but I was exhausted. I think I'm getting sick again. I still have residual effects - snot, chest congestion, etc. so I thougth it was just the after effects but it started increasing today then I felt wiped out. Glad I didn't go for the long run that I was thinking about all day. I think it would've made me feel much worse. Hopefully I'll kick this soon. Guess I should start taking vitamins....
