had to get one longer one in before Phoenix and also was humbled by velveeta's 11 and nick's  treadmill 10. Very cold start at 15 degrees, warmed up to a balmy 18 by the end of the stumbling bumbling frostbitten run.  sore and slow, but not to shabby for a fuzzy hairlip like myself. avg 8:45 with a lot of it downhill.  Had a serious "hot lamb" moment at mile 7 when I almost ran off the cliff while dizzy and delirious.  I had anne drop me off on the Parley's canyon lookout park lot and then ran along wasatch blvd to 60th south around old mill and then back home.  See you in Phoenix bros.

Cottonwood mall loop.  Painful knee, groin and tailbone.  I'm not sure I want to run longer than this.  However some hot chicka runnner pulled out in front of me for a mile at approx 5 and for some reason pain went away during that distraction.  Maybe there is a lesson in there somewhere.

Fun time with the brothers in Arizona.  Four of us ran the half with 21990 other runners.  Party time all around.  I, of course, was soundly beat by my younger, stronger siblings, but they are studs, so it is ok.  The race was painful for me because I was obviously under trained.  avg 8:29   Only managed to run twice a week for that last months of time.  Just not enough to get rid of the pain of long distances I guess,  but proud non the less.  I just couldn't pick up the pace.  Legs felt heavy and the tactical error of not wearing ipod was not helping my sometimes weak mind.  the music helps me disconnect.  The race was well organized, and went off without a hitch.  The course is quite honestly boring city block running but entertaining with lots of spectators.

Had a great time overall.

From jun on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 17:07:45

As an avid rock climber I find that my body and related energy and strength cycles. Understanding when I am peaking helps me know when to attempt projects. On the other hand, when I am having a weak spell I know to work other areas, such as climbing endurance or finger strength.

I think as a runner we experience similar peaks and valleys. Coordinating our running schedule, workouts, and races around that knowledge can help us be more production and more successful, long term.

Really, what do I know though. I suck at running and only get by on the fact that I have been enjoying it so much.

Maybe you have mono. In any case, I hope you feel better.

BTW, I'm a Holladay local myself. I hope to see you out on the streets.

From nfroerer on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 19:22:01

Brothra a sad tale I do agree. Mono yes mono, maybe it has returned. You are a star. I think we just need to pound a Monster (low carb of course) and forget about your problems. Cut back on the Dexter thoughts and focus on the leg turn over... Ay there's the rub. You sure you're out for Friday - should be snowing. excuse me is that your finger.

Great day in Ogden Valley.  Ran the race with my two bros and watched the other two bros run the marathon.  Had a great race.  Felt good overall.  Pushed as well as I could, but couldnt beat last year's PR.  Garmin died as soon as I turned it on this am, so no splits to report, but was nice to run unencumbered.  Water tasted like pee for some reason this year, I guess Pine View needed some extra water out before spring run off.  I also like to be passed by all the people 20 years older than me.  Especially the ones that are running with some impossibly deformed gait.  It is awesome.  Be back next year.  Maybe even the marathon if I can get enough duct tape to keep them on.

Nice post work run. A bit fatigued after the half in Ogden, but surprisingly not that sore.  It was my most enjoyable run yet.  Maybe that means I didn't push it hard enough to achieve a PR etc.  Anyway, my garmin is dead, I will have to try to find it some Viagra.  Or maybe get a new one.  Is the 400 series now the one to get?

I'm recording this as a run, but it was really a run/power walk.  Decided I need to conquer Granduer peak by millcreek once and for all.  I have started up twice before.  This by the way is the straight up trail by parleys not the wimpy but longer switch back trail from millcreek.  2.5 miles or so up took me 1 hour 25 minutes.  8 minutes at top to survey the awesome view then ran the 2.5 or so back to the car in 30 minutes.  the up hill is a lung bursting 3299 foot climb to 8299 feet ,the down was killing my quads to the point I didnt know if I could keep standing by the finish.  anyway there it is. I am a star.  a star with dimming light but a star none the less.

Wellllll, I haven't been on FRB for awhile but i picked a good time to come back based off that update, I think if you end with the last one the first 2 can pretty much be anything, unfortuntely we have to add really cool things to the first 2 because the last one is usually the missing piece to the Trifecta!!

First of all, the first 2 miles and 1800 feet of elevation sucked rocks.  Run and powerwalk was the name of the game.  I was questioning why I was even interested in the marathon anymore and or the 21k trail we are thinking of doing in California,  however the scenery was beautiful, the downhill was dangerous and fun and the finish sweet.  I am not sure I was first in the over 40 division but I think so since it was just me and one or two other guys that I know finished after.  Small crowd but fun in the trailrun circuit.  Down hill miles 4 and 5 were in the 6:34 to 6:48 range for me, which is a record for this duffer.

avg 8:30  Fun and Giggles in the snow.  Nice to be out as usual.  I sometimes feel I am stealing something when I am outside and not in the hospital.  I want to live a life of crime.

Wings fritters 'o my. Needing a little diversion. Maybe a little Skin or Megan - that's not so bad is it?

Can't believe it.  I just ran on the treadmill for the first time in a year.  Too much snow for this whining boy.  Treadmill still stinks as I remember it.  Not sure it is healthy.  but... still... nice to get some miles in.

You need to create a bond with your tM. pound it, step on it, jump on it, slap it, kick it, curse at it ( one of my favorites ), respect it, incline it, speed it up, fan it, sweat on it, beat it, tame it, know it....

You'll get there my brother man...

Thanks for the encouragement. I used most of those things yesterday. Even blew my nose on it. Lovely.
