Just spent about 12 days in Arizona bowhunting for Coues Whitetail deer. Was hoping to get in a few runs while down there but it didn't happen. Only got in 1 lousy 4 mile run this week but did play basketball on Wednesday and felt like I got in a good workout there.

5 miles today. Hoping to do better this week. My Garmin went dead halfway through this slow run.

4 miles at 8:18 pace. Last mile was 7:47.  Pretty sad when a sub 8 mile is noteworthy.

6 miles today at 8:29 pace. Last mile a little faster in 7:52. It was 42 deg when I ran. Thats the first time the temp has been above freezing in a while.

Ran 5 miles easy today. Did a couple of short strides then ran the last 200 meters at 6:00 pace. Overall pace was 8:47.  Played an hour of basketball last night.

Ran 5 miles with 3 or 4 strides thrown in. Last mile in 7:29. It's amazing how much harder that pace feels when i'm not real fit. Hard to imagine running a full marathon at 40 second faster pace just a couple of years ago.  Overall pace was 8:13.

6 miles after dark. Lots of snow on the road and a lot of snow coming down. My Garmin battery went dead and I just took the whole run slow and enjoyed.

Got more workout than usual tonight. We played man to man defense and I spent most of the time guarding a kid that was around 18 most of the time that was very active about running all over the court. I just took it as an opportunity to get in a better workout.

Only had time for 4 miles today when I got out. When I started my legs felt like they had a little more pop than they have had lately so I decided to pick up the pace for this run which is something I haven't done in a while. I ran 8:10, 7:46, 7:18, and 6:48. Overall pace was 7:31.

Still very warm for February. 51 deg on todays run. That temp is hard to beat for running anytime of the year. Ran up the reservoir road again. It's mostly dry now with just a few muddy spots next to melting snow drifts. Just ran an easy 7 miles at 8:46 AP.

Left for San Diego later in the day.

1 hour of basketball. This was the semi final game in the tournament and we only had 6 guys so ended up playing almost all of the game and playing hard. We won so we'll be playing for the stake championship next Wednesday.

Ran 8 miles mostly slow with a 7:46 last mile. Ran up to the reservoir and the ice was all gone for the first time this year.

25 miles for the week is my best yet this year.
