45 minutes on the t-mill in the sweat box. Not feeling it at all, too many superbowl treats.

Nice liitle run on the bench tonight.  Managed to run for an hour between 27th and Rainbow and never ran over the same section of trail more than once, well, mabey a few feet or so at intersections.  Kinda a fun way to pass an hour, thinking about how to link it together with no re-tracing. All trail south of 27th in great shape, gonna be muddy when it warms up though.  Bottom part of Taylor canyon is a skating rink, clear water ice everywhere and I hear lower Malan's is glazed bad.

Ghost sighting, yes.

6 miles or so, guessing 800 vert.

Nice little 12 tonight.  Legs felt like lead for the first 5 miles or so, felt better on the way back.  Wanted to make it 14 but it was getting dark so I turned around early, but cruised down to the nature trail parking lot and back for a little extra vert.  good to see Jon out, looks like I'll have some company at the Bear.  Sweet. 

Little over 12 miles or so, 1900 vert, easy pace out, a little pick up on the back.

Easy little 20 minutes tonight.  Achilles and calf acting up.  Ran into Corey at the trail head and he was nice enough to run a gimpy, slow 20 minutes with me before heading out on his longer run.  ART tonight seems to have helped, I'll try and get in 2 more times befroe Red Hot.  Signing up for Big Horn 100 tonight. How's that for thinking positive.

7 miles cruising my boulder field loops.  Pretty easy pace for most of it, picked it up here and there a bit.  Strange conditons on the trails, super muddy in spots, super icey in others.  Calf and achilles feeling much better after some ART, that stuff  must be some kind of black magic.

Just over 7 miles, 1000 vert, 8:40 pace.

Ghost sighting: Yes!

Got out for any early one for me with some of the local stong guys. We had a great run on the usual route from 27th, north on the BST.  Kept the pace pretty easy through most of it, though Corey cranked it up pretty hard on the direct route out of Rainbow going back south.  We all hung on and punched it out though we were all pretty redlined at the top, well except Matt.  Great fun this morning, 3 guys with lots of running experience and fast, and me trying to keep up.  I think we ended up with about 12 miles, probably 1800 vert or so.

Feeling pretty beat up for some reason.  I kicked a tree root on a run earlier in the week and it was bothering me today, some pain in my big toe and up into my foot.  Achilles is better, but still not great, and I tweaked something in my hip, top of glute area slipping on some ice on yesterday's run. Didn't go down but wrenched it trying to stay upright. Cry me a river right? need some good rest tomorrow. 

Week (weak) 45 miles, 5700 vert
