East De Pere

5.5 Miles 11:00 am) 40 degrees and very foggy
Never thought it would get this warm again after the winter
we have had so far. I actually ran in shorts and was warm.
Was not sure how the run would go since I hurt my lower back
Wednesday shoveling. It has got better and running did not seem
to aggravate it. I was going to do more than 5.5 miles but my GPS
was acting up due to low charge when I started. Plus I thought
no sense in over doing today.
I'm typing this blog on my new laptop computer. It's very nice.
Large 17" wide screen. I have it hooked up wireless so I can use
it anywhere in the house. Now I can multitask better.

Ashwaubenon

6 Miles 44:32 7:24 average.
10:00 am) upper 20's warmer light snow.
Ran with my screw shoes. It helped a lot. I still slipped
some but not as much as I would have. Some places the snow was
kind of deep and the screws would not make much contact with
the street so you would not have much grip. I think I will add
another 3 screws to each shoe to help even more. The srews held
up very good hardly any wear on them and did not loose any screws.

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.
