I did not think this was a good idea; asking to get injured. Never needed to drink much water either. Thought with all of the food would gain weight; think again still 120. slept a lot last night hoping to get up early and run just slept into to catch up on sleep. Monday is massage day. |

| Rented a canoe to see the manatees close up. At times sprinting hard to try and catch some. Normally they move slow and at times can take off. With 87 in the areas saw plenty of them. They are very large and gently bump the canoe as they swim under. |

| |
| Ran early in the morning. Running along roads decided to go into the Disney World sanctuary. I was all alone for about 2-3 mins when off in the distance I could see a truck flying towards me. It was Disney and they were not happy I was running on their property. He was rather nasty and then I pointed out to him no signs whatsover are posted that this is private property or no trespassing signs. I did not even know I was on Disney property!! Then he shut up. I ran back out and finished my run on the roads. The weather was in the low 50's with about 80% humidity. Legs felt better after a good nights rest. Will probably use the jacuzzi this eve. |
Monday Dec 22 |
| Running 47:00 [1]6.0 mi (7:49 / mi) | |

| Ran on the trail starting from Seneca creek. Had to run out and back. Ran 47:30 out able to maintain same speed on the way back despite having to fight the wind that was lower because I was in the valley. ran first mile in 7:45 so slowed down a bit; ended up running the last mile in 7:49. Did not feel like I was trying that hard. Only saw a couple of dog walkers for the whole run. |
| Weightlifting 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Lifted mostly for my legs; able to do some upper body lifting; tough to grip the weights with my left hand because of the finger. Did more abs also vs other times. |
Friday Dec 19 |
| Running 50:00 [1]6.0 mi (8:20 / mi) | |
| |
| Trail run. Trail was wet, icy and muddy but still lots of fun to run on. Back on the steroids after my finger filled with fluid yet again. Not sure what I am coming into contact that only one finger fills with so much fluid that it will rupture with clear fluid and blood. Looks like scalding syndrome. But at least when it ruptures it stops the pain, but not the itch that goes to the bone. ran easy and never wiped out. |
Thursday Dec 18 |
| Running 32:00 [1]4.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |

Sunday Dec 14 |
| Running 40:00 [3]5.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Set the treadmill on the gym at 7.5 mph and went. At times just to make it interesting added grade between 0.5 and 1.0. Thought it might be a good idea to get used of being on the treadmill as more of my runs might end this way. Planned to run the MCRRC race it was cancelled due to the weather. |
| Cross training 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Shoveled snow that was water logged. This was heavy even for me. Snowplow came by so had to bail out to move the car plus the drains were clogged so had to dig those out so the street would not be flooded. Went to the bowling alley afterwards this seemed to be the place to go it was mobbed with adults and kids just trying to get out of the house. I just threw at pins; it keeps everyone guessing. |

Sunday Dec 7 |
| Running 1:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Ran around in the woods. Snow in places about one foot deep so made the running a little tougher. Never could warm up even with my ski jacket on. Cold and miserable the whole time! No idea how much distance I covered. |
| Hiking 45:00 [1] | |
| |
| After bailing out of the woods just walked in the road. Talking with some other people that were out for a walk so opted not to run. Not sure how far I walked just happy to be back to a warm car and dry socks. When I woke up this morning did not really want to go, went anyways; wished I stayed home and went for a long run around the house. |

Bowled last night after missing a week for the holiday. I started with a 135, almost a disaster, and then started to bowl like I knew what I was doing. Made one of my goals which was to bowl over 200 within one year from starting. Finished with a 193 and a 203. Bowled all strikes and 9/. HIt the pocket everytime. Legs feel real good even with the cold weather. |
