Srew Shoes


Just finished putting the screws in the shoes. I will try
them out tomorrow. Should be a good test with all the
snow on the ground.

Treadmill Gold's Gym

7 Miles 51:15
5:45 pm
Again too cold outside to run so I hit the treadmill.
I did not feel so good tonight. I really ran out of gas
the last 10 minutes or so. I had to slow it way down to
catch my breath. Still not a big fan of the treadmill but
it's nice when it's this cold out.

Stanley Bottle




My nickname is Stanley given to me by my nephew. Here is
a bottle I recently acquired from my dad. It's from Stanley
Wisconsin. I'm not even sure where that is? Must be a small
town. Bottle is from the year 1948.

Broadway

10 Miles 1:13:23 7:20 average
157 HR average
9:00 am) 15 degrees cloudy
First run outside in two weeks. I felt sluggish today.
Not sure if it was the cold air, slippery roads or
just tired. Probably all of the above. HR was high as
well.

Spin Class Gold's Gym

45 Minute spin class
5:15 p.m.
Was able to get a bike tonight. They only have 10 bikes
plus the instructor. The instructor was very nice and
helped me make adjustments to the bike so it would fit me
correctly. I was not the only first timer there was one
other so that made me feel more comfortable. I really
enjoyed the class. I will do it again for sure. It was
very hard but a good hard. I got in a very good workout.
I think this will be great cross training for my running.
I could feel myself using different muscles. On Wednesday's
they have a more extreme spin class but I think I will wait
a while before I consider trying that. This was tough enough.

Treadmill Gold's Gym

7 Miles 50:25
Hard run tonight decided I would push the pace some. I ran
5 minutes faster than Monday for the same distance. I want
to get faster on the treadmill and found out that running
faster makes you faster. What a concept!
Looks like another snow storm is headed our way. I'm not
happy. I'm ready for spring already!
Got my new shoes today finally. These are the ones I won at
the 50K back in October. They have the Boa system so no laces.
I have never tried these before so it will be interesting to
see how they are. I probably will just put them away till I
can run outside on some trails. They are made for road and
trail but I'm going to just use them on the trails. They are
called ARNUVA. Picture below.
