    This morning it was 19 deg. but no wind so not to bad. I ran 10 miles up around the reservoir. It was nice with the sun coming up and shining on all the cottenwood leaves that are turning yellow and  the steam coming off the lake and nobody else around. I ran the first 5 at 8:24 pace and the last 5 at 7:33 pace [last mile was 7:06]. 7:58 pace overall.

    I'm feeling pretty recovered from SGM. I could still feel some very slight soreness in my calves the second half but I didn't even feel a hint of anything from my hamstring. There are still certain moves that cause pain in my hammy but hopfully it won't be an issue while running anymore.

    Went for a 20 mile mt. bike ride this morning. Temps in the 20s. A few miles of my route were just graded which makes for slow going with the loose gravel.

    Ran 10 miles at 8:09 pace. I didn't run until 9 o'clock and the temp was up to 34 and sunny with no wind. Ideal running weather. Wore shorts and had to lose the sweatshirt after a couple miles. There's probably not to many of these mornings left before winter.

    20 miles on the mt. bike this morning. 29 deg. at start with no wind and a few snowflakes. About 6 miles of my route got graded yesterday and the lose gravel makes for a lot more effort. There's not much traffic so it takes a while to pack it back down. One advantage in the cold is cold water in the water bottle. When it's over 80 degrees even a frozen waterbottle gets so hot it's almost nasty after an hour or two.

    I feel pretty recovered from the marathon but I still want to be carefull at least for another week. I think I'll keep running every other day [like I did recovering from my injury] for just a bit longer to be safe.

     I went for a 15 mile bike ride with my wife. Nice weather. I've got a pain in my right hip that started Wednesday night that hopfully is nothing but it reminds me of a pain I had in my left hip 2 years ago that I had to battle for months. I really hate skipping a run but I decided the possible risk outweighed the benefit of even a short run. I may end up skipping tomorrow also but I'm going hunting and will be doing a lot of hiking. Hopfully by monday this will be nipped in the bud. I guess I jumped the gun in thinking I was completely recovered from the marathon.

     No running again.  My son and I went deer hunting in the morning and did 3 1/2 hours of hiking. Then our pheasasnt hunt opened at noon and we did another 2 1/2 hours. I'm guessing we covered less than 10 miles but I felt much more worn out than running 10. My hip seems to be slightly better [all the hiking probably wasn't the greatest for it but it didn't make it worse].
