No "running" other than a couple of 100m "strides" while snowshoeing in Park City. Beautiful day but cold! 

 I resolve to try to be a better blogger this year! Even if that means just logging my miles more faithfully.  I ran a fair amount in December (all things considered) but I just lazily never entered it into the blog.

I ran north up to the neighborhood of my youth.  Did some strides in the snow.  Surprised I covered almost nine miles.

No running today, I did a core workout at home, as has been my semi-routine the last few Wednesdays. Heather ran on the treadmill.

Running on the high east bench, but not high enough to be out of the thick grey air.  It was o full of substance, however, that I didn't have to eat breakfast after the run.

An out and back where I basically ran east, turned around, and ran west. It was perhaps a little bit more detailed than that, but only slightly.

Couldn't run in the morning, couldn't run in the evening. Thus, no running.

In Los Angeles.  Beautiful morning. Staying in the Larchmont neighborhood with an old friend. I weaved around the neighborhood, ran up to Melrose and south to Rossmore, and through Hancock Park.  Fancy houses, let me tell you, very fancy.  In fact, much much too fancy.

In Ojai, CA.  Drove up on Sunday and stayed the night. I ran through an equestrian park and hundreds of acres of orange groves.  The last couple of miles of the run were along the walking path that borders the town. It was 65 degrees. Top notch.

It was pretty wet this morning, nice mix of rain and snow.  Quite

different from running in Ojai, and not necessarily better.  I ran a

neighborhood loop; it was ok, but I feel like I'm sort of missing having

the U/City Creek/Memory Grove nearby.  Those big, car-free landmarks

help keep the runs interesting.

I finally ran a route I've been thinking about for a while. I headed east up to Parleys Way, crossed Foothill Blvd, and headed south to the footbridges that would take me across the mouth of Parley's canyon and into Tanner Park.  If it were not for the 20 minutes of traffic noise in the middle of this run, it would be a real winner.  The nice descent back home after Tanner Park was great.

I ran north to the 'hood of my youth. I did 8 x 150m strides on the Beacon Heights field. In a couple of weeks I hope to be able to return to doing some workouts with the Black Sheep. The hamstring has been pretty resilient lately. The plantar fascia is not so good, but I feel like I can manage that, at least until it pops.

Six miles in the 'hood, including about 1.5 miles in the local cemetery.  I did a short core workout after the run.

Four miles on the treadmill. I was flying solo with the boys this weekend.  This is all I could scrape together during their afternoon nap.

Hey, anyone want a cold? I can share. It's not too bad yet. But it's my experience that the slower it comes on the slower it goes away.  So, I pulled back a bit on the miles and slept a little more this morning.
