Another meandering run through the local neighborhoods. I'm beginning to give up on the idea of trying to settle on a fixed loop. So many endless neighborhoods; one change in direction and it ends up being a totally different run.

My first actual attempt at "speedwork" in probably six months. Along with three others, we cycled through a fartlek workout with intervals of 30 sec, 1 min, 1:30, 2:00, 1:30, 1 min; 30 sec, etc.  We ran these on the rolling hills of 15th East. I felt pretty good, but didn't push it much. I know better than to try to reach for that "other gear" on the first workout after a six month lay off. Hamstring feels good. Plantar Fascitis not so good.

For a while, I thought that the wind would be the most distinguishing feature of this run. Then I thought running alongside a raccoon would take the prize. Alas, it was slipping on a big patch of ice on the trail at Parley's Historic Nature Park that took top honors. I stayed down on the ground for a second because frankly, it hurt. Hip is kind banged up and I'm a little limpy while walking.  The irony is that the ice fall happened when it was 45 degrees out.

It was an icy morning with clear skies, fresh snow and a big moon. We ran from Diva's and did the north loop.

I was in the mood to run parts of my old pre-move routes so I drove to Steiner and ran from there. I headed north through the U campus, up to 11th Ave and then climbed up to 18th Avenue and headed out and back on the snowy meadow trail. I've missed running in that area. I somehow never really got tired of it during the nine years I lived in the Avenues.  Run ended up being a little longer than planned, but it was the right run for the day.

We ran a loop from 9th and 9th through downtown, Memory Grove, 11th Ave. and then zigzagged back from the University area back to 9th/9th.  Half the group ran 15. I ran 11 with the other half; not quite ready to push the increase in miles that much.
