| Finally able to run. Made 5 miles in 46:05, or 9:13 pace at 3:00 p.m.. Sore ribs are still bothering me, but I'm finally able to breathe in deeper without as much pain. More annoying than anything else. But, it felt good to get out and run. Not as smoggy here at 5,000 plus feet. Clear and sunny but the inversion is getting close to us out here. Next race is in 2 months at the Moab Canyonlands Half Marathon. Hope I'm back in good form by then. | | Comments(1) |

| 5 miler this morning at 500 a.m. My ribs still bothering but not as bad. I was paranoid about black ice when I saw anything unusual on the roadway in the dark. The headlamp helps. Can't wait for spring and the Canyonlands Half Marathon is next on the schedule in March before the Ogden Half marathon in May. | | Comments(1) |

| 5 miler on the treadmill in 43:50. 9:00's going up and 8:00's or better coming back. Tried to avoid the bad air this morning, although I don't think we have it as bad out here as in SLC. Good to be running again. Still feeling sore ribs, but at least I can get the air in without too much pain. | | Comments(1) |

| 12 miles in just under 1:43, about 8:34 pace. Felt fairly good. Still feeling it in the ribs, but is more tolerable by quite a bit from what I felt a week ago. The weather was a bit strange today. I went at 11:00 a.m. and it was almost 55 degrees out and some sunshine. By the time I got up the hill and turned around at 6 miles, I came back down into the valley in fog and then light rain with temperatures dropping to 40 degrees. I saw a lot of walkers out this morning, but no runners. They must have gone earlier. 11 o'clock is a bit late for me, but I wanted to sleep in and have some breakfast before heading out. Monday morning is supposed to be a mess, I may hit the treadmill. | | Add Comment |
