MONDAY MARCH 3, 2008
Trying to get back on track with my training. What a great evening for running. I ran to Glen's & the Gorge from my house once Jen got home from work. I was going to wear my Garmin, but it wasn't working. I thought it was broken. When I got back I placed it back on the charger and it charged up again. Maybe I left it on or something. Electronics & I don't get along very well.
The trails were awesome, nice and muddy. Most of the ice melted, the air had a cool/warm feel to it. When I would run pass some of the caves, and the river it was cool. Then once I would get into the middle of the woods it was warm. I didn't take my headlamp so I needed to get my run in before dark.
This route is about 6 miles.
I'll be back out here later in the week...If it's not to icy, we are suppose to get some freezing rain this week.

SUNDAY AM MARCH 2 2008
Some guys accomplish there business deals and meetings on the golf course. Runners perform business deal on the trail or on the road.
I met with Toby Sunday morning to review a project he's going to help PURE FUEL with. We were going to start from the Memorial parkway towpath (across the street from HPL) to the Mustill Store. When we park we thought it would be to icy to run the Towpath. We decided to drive down the street and run Riverview Rd.
We headed north towards Boston Store then turn and ran back.
8 Miles there & back. I didn't get a time. I think we were running a 10 min./mile.
Thank Toby!!!

Jim Klett Route
SAT. VR TRAINING
I haven't ran since Sunday...Trying to get back on track here.
We ran the Jim Klett route. I start out running with Nick V. He's still recovering from a back injury. His plan was to run the 12 mile course with us but turn around after 5 to get in a 10 mile run. I could up with Pete and ran the rest of the route with him.
12 miles on the dot!!! 2:06.

A Run With Zen
Messlia & I met at 8:30am(Boston Store) to run the Water Fall Route(Brandy Wine, Blue Hen and Buttermilk Falls). I wasn't sure exactly how many miles we would run but I figured about 10 miles. We started towards Brandy wine first, the towpath wasn't to bad, the snow was packed down, same with Stanford & Brandy wine trails. We had a little bit of ice to deal with, but all in all a fun run.
The Brandywine Inn we ran into a few cute kids playing in the yard.
The Brandywine water crossing was a little dangerous, very icy.
I'm secretly waiting for Melissa to fall in to the water....Heeee...
Blue Hen Falls
I spotted a really tall troll living behind ButterMilk Falls

Lovin The Hills Race Report
This will be easy....
I didn't go.....
Yes that right I was unable to go to KY for Lovin The Hills 50K. The sitter I had for the kids was sick and I didn't have a backup plan. I did think about driving down at 1:30am and running the race, but that thought only lasted a minute. I was bummed out all day Friday and Saturday. I ran with the Lock 29 VR TRAINING GROUP on Sat. All I thought about was running the hills.
I know I haven't been blogging lately but I've been busy with the kids, PURE FUEL ORGANIC ENERGY BARS & PLAYING WITH KNIVES & FIRE CATERING.
I've been working on a few new products for PURE FUEL. The first one is Black Forest Recovery Bar. This will be a post run, training, or workout bar. It has whey protein, chocolate & dried black cherries. It's really good!!!! We should have it in our product list by the end of February. The other product is our Western Reserve Trail Mix Bar. Bite size pieces of our bar (called Fuel Cells) laced with all the ingredients you would find in a trail mix: Sunflower seeds, Almonds, Dried Pineapple, Raisins, and carob chips. This one is also very good!!!
We add a few places to buy Pure Fuel; Kent Natural Foods (Downtown Kent), Human Potenal Labs (In the Valley Akron OH), Twinsburg Fitness Center (Twinsburg OH), Advanced Chiropractic & Wellness Center (Cuyahoga Falls OH)
Playing With Knives & Fire is doing well we have caterings booked into Oct. 2008. I'm working a new website for the company that should be up and running soon. We are alos working on booking more catering, cooking demo's & classes.
