| New Year Run with Josh, Matt, Mike, Karl, Zak, Collin, Jon and Chase. Started on the JRP in Riverton but looped back on the streets because I am afraid of the ice. Great way to start the year.

| 30 minutes of intervals on the stationary bike to give my achilles another day of rest. After the last interval my heart rate was around 190. These short/hard workouts hurt but they are an efficient use of time :)

| Fun run with ice, hills, tunnels, turnsand wind along the Murdock trail with Matt, Jake, Mike, Zak, Reed and Scott. We warmed up a few then did an 8 mile out and back tempo. I didn't reset my watch so my 5 to 11 splits were 5:24, 5:29, 5:27, 5:33, 5:44, 5:32, 5:36. Afterwards Matt's wife treated us for breakfast where our cold hand coordination was tested while unpeeling hard boiled eggs. I need more practice.

| Casual run from Highland through Millcreek and Holladay with Jake, Adam, Nate, Josh and Collin. Clear skies! Hope it lasts longer than a day or two.

| Ran north on 15th east, up to 9th south, south to the grocery store for a loaf of bread and back home. It is difficult/awkward to run with a grocery bag.

| stairmaster interval workout, It's possible, I promise. 9 x 2 mins off, 3 on with the 3 maxed out not touching bars.
Yesterday was an unusual day in that my alarm didn't go off or I just failed to set it. That happens about two times a year so it's a bit concerning that I already used one of them only 9 days into the year. My internal alarm clock did wake me up just in time to get to work on time. The internal clock must be broken too.

| Nice run through Millcreek and Holladay with Jake, Rob, Josh, Nate, James and Collin, Finished with a couple of faster miles around Sugar House. Still have a lingering achilles problem but at least it's not getting worse.

| Ran with Josh and Adam down 13th/South Temple to 9th west, south to 17th south then wound our way back. Lots of flat running which was nice for a change and we got to cross train tracks.
PM: active yoga at about 95 degrees for 75 minutes. I probably lost about 5 lbs of water.

| 6,6,5,3,3,3 minute intervals on the stairmaster. Hoping a few days off from running will fix the achilles.

| Long/hilly (~1,450 ft) run with Josh from somewhere in Cottonwood Heights, up to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, south along Wasatch, up some more hills and back. We ran into Justin after 6.5 so he joined us for 11 of it. 24 miles of running from Sunday to Friday then 20.5 on Saturday. Maybe I should spread them out some more. Averaged about 6:35.

| Fun run with Nate and Adam on the Millcreek Canyon Pipeline trail. We did the 9.5 out and back then finished with a few on the road and past the gate. Sad that this was my frist run on that trail in about 4 years. It's a good one.

| 60 minute SPIN class and 30 mins of rowing and elliptical. We did intervals and sprints that kicked by butt.

| Intervals on the stairmaster. 3,5,6,6,3,3 with a couple of minutes off in between each.
The gym's air was pretty clear today. I think my lungs are thanking my nagging achilles.
PM: bootcamp class. impossible (for me) hip flexor exercises, push ups, about 10 minutes of planks, stairs, and lunges. after the class all of us just sat on the floor not knowing what hit us.

| It was tempting but I decided not to run the winter series 5k today. I could have raced but I figured I had a lot more to lose than I had to gain. Last year I hobbled from race to race during the winter months only to end up being sidelined from april through june. Instead of the race I did a one hour interval workout on the recumbent bike at the gym. Intervals were 3,3,16 (~5k effort),3,5,3,3,3,3 with a couple of minutes rest in between each. Totaled 42 minutes on and 18 off. Pretty good effort AND the achilles was spared.

| Ran west from Liberty Park with Allie, James, Josh and Collin to the JRP then back. We saw lots of geese and graffiti. One marking looked like F.V. (my initials) but at second glance I think it stood for something else.

| SPIN class (5,4,5,4,5 power intervals), a few miles on the elliptical and rowing machine, and calf exercises for the achilles. Despite the achilles, I feel like my hip strength imbalances are about 90% corrected.

PM: bootcamp class. I don't really know what we did or what you call it but it was hard.
