A watch can be a blessing or a curse. Sometimes its great for motivation, but I've gone through phases where I discovered I'd become a slave to worrying about the numbers too much.

Got in a short walk along the river this morning. It rained all day yesterday so I decided not to dare the mountain trails which are so to be a mess.

No workouts this weekend, but I have been getting my diet under control. Lots more fruit the past few days, and I haven't had a beer since Wednesday. Although its still February the weather is looking decent in the week ahead so I'm hoping to get back on track with the mileage.

I did get in a short walk to the local waterfall this morning between recording my latest video and waiting for the start of the Nascar Cup Series race!

That looks amazing, love places like that.

Its about 3 miles from my house. Two small parks, one town owned, the other state, connected by trails. Enough to run for a couple of hours.

Nice. Well I'm just back from a 6.2km run around boring residential streets. I should start to drive to places and run somewhere that's actually nice!

Just 5.6km off 100km for February, I'll knock that off with a run on Wednesday as I don't work Wednesdays.

3 miles this morning.

Yeah, running the streets is hell. I grew up out in the countryside. When we moved to town and I began running again I started off on the streets. Had to play a lot of mental games with myself to make it tolerable after awhile. Later on I got into trail running and the only time I would willingly go road running was as part the local running group.

Beautiful weather today. Got 4 miles in. Unfortunately rain coming tomorrow, and with the warmth all that mud on the trails will be thawing out. But it looks like it may remain warmer for the next two weeks. Time for me to get serious about this again!
