Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

6 ft tall, nation wide

"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

From allie on Sun, Jan 21, 2018 at 14:44:13 from 172.4.198.186

i don't even know the 2009 version of myself. up at 4am to enthusiastically run up hills in ice with no breakfast or coffee? nah. no. not me. never again.

that was the year you could go to pretty much any blog and find a long/insightful/fun/ridiculous conversation. times, how they change.

glad you enjoyed a walk. hope you are enjoying all that snow as well. :)

From JD on Sun, Jan 21, 2018 at 15:14:54 from 75.169.44.222

thanks you guys!

ha yes there was a lot of activity here on the blog for a few years it seems. maybe the rise in all the multitudes of social media took everyone away. i know that i have spent less time on the blog as i've cut way back on running the last several years but this year is looking like a "run year" for me finally as i'm feeling like building some mileage into my life again. i'll try to spice up my posts as i document my old man, midpack journey into the mileage base abyss. look out! fifty mile weeks ahead! lol

allie - hoping to enjoy sliding down a snowy mountain soon!

From JD on Sun, Jan 21, 2018 at 15:49:58 from 75.169.44.222

AND i should also mention that i've been following your blogs most of the time and am inspired by your continued commitment and dedication to the run - and to life in general

From Tracy on Sat, Jan 27, 2018 at 14:42:25 from 50.103.111.71

Hey all! I am another old timer who was a little more of a lurker than a participant, but I miss the frequent and regular commentators, too.

From Tom K on Sat, Jan 27, 2018 at 19:11:07 from 66.87.148.191

I've been reading old blog notes lately, too. I don't have to go all the way back to 2009 to find a faster version of me, though. That guy did well as recently as 2014!

Like you, I've been laying low for a while, and logging noncommittal miles. I've done nothing too long, fast, or interesting. I'm going to try to make that different this year. Good luck this year to you!

From JD on Sat, Jan 27, 2018 at 19:34:05 from 75.169.57.147

ugh. that was rough. my first mile took 10 minutes. towards the end of mile 3 i did 3 x 30 sec hill reps on golden ave to try and shake the lethargy that was gripping my entire being. it helped, i felt better and mile 4 was an 8:51. really hate those kind of runs but they can't all be winners. what fun would that be?

"try and shake the lethargy that was gripping my entire being"

i was suffering from this malady yesterday. i dealt with it by taking an off day, and you dealt with it by running hill repeats.

"it helped, i felt better"

i will remember this next time whine and laze try to take over my body. good work on the golden.

Hey, I went back and read the last few weeks of your blog. You've been doing good! Good steady miles, AND it's important that you're listening to your body!

On a side note, I feel ya on your comment about reading your blog from 2009. My best year was 2010, I think...and I don't even know that person anymore!

But life is still good, just different! I try not to get too down about not really caring that much about running. It's freeing in a way that I can't quite explain!

From JD on Sat, Jan 27, 2018 at 15:33:13 from 75.169.59.173

thanks Tracy - yeah it's easier to listen to your body when you're in your 50's, it speaks LOUDER.

actually i'm still reading my past blog, i'm about half way through 2011...i kept running more and more, and then i ran everyday in 2012 and sort of blew up after that. i have since truly embraced that freeing feeling of not caring about running that you mention. but now after several years of "faux" running i feel ready to get after it again, adjusting and accepting that running will be a little different because of my rapidly advancing decrepitude.

(the word "running" was used 4 times in that last paragraph, for those keeping track at home)

anyway, happy days, thanks for your comment it's good to hear from you

thanks Tom - no plans for organized events. just rehabing the knee and base building.

From Tom Slick on Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 20:07:10 from 66.87.127.15

Just another day on the run! Keep me up to date on your knees rehab. There a bitch and I know cause I’m still living that old movie. Did you have s problem with your knee because of Running or some other activity?

From JD on Thu, Mar 01, 2018 at 11:19:46 from 75.169.73.9

yeah i think just overuse and age, the meniscus is breaking down. no complaints i've been really lucky to have run so many miles in my 40's and into my 50's this will just keep me from going overboard in the future as i try to balance strengthening the muscles around my joints without aggravating the cartilage too much!

From Tom Slick on Thu, Mar 01, 2018 at 14:42:46 from 66.87.127.222

Have or do you use Glucosamine & Chondroitin! I’ve used it for years and believe that it really works!

10 miles - 9:10 avg (2:27 negative split!) - bluff trail from jensen park north out and back. was nice to run here again, it's been awhile. so i went out the first 5 miles pretty slow since this is the longest i've run in several months and i had intended to run a negative split for the last 5 if i felt up to it. with two and a half miles to go i was on pace to maybe get a 1 minute or so negative split when a runner coming towards me turned around before we crossed and was now heading the same direction as me. a very fit looking woman, pushing a stroller...well, i couldn't catch her! i got close a couple of times but then she would pull away. finally with about a mile left i was able to pass her and i thanked her for kicking my butt. my last mile was the fastest at 8:13.

the knee bugged a little throughout the run but i've developed a stride which seems to alleviate some of the impact of the left knee.

Great Monday run! I love the stroller story! When I run the Nestle 5k, which is a super competitive family fun run in Springville, my main goal is to not be passed by all the ladies and men pushing kids in strollers. It’s amazing how fast they can get those strollers going and maintain it through the race !

noon - i cut my run short because i had accidentally packed the altra torins which is a zero drop shoe and the shoe i was wearing when my knee injury occured and i haven't used them since. so i don't know if it was the shoe or not but my knee was getting pretty sore within the first mile and i decided to just run three today and hopefully any pain from todays run is just my knee getting stronger

noon. a combination of work responsibilities and a desire to keep strengthening my knee without injury has netted three treadmill runs in a row. March is going well for me running wise (ie; consistency, no injury), but April will be the real test as i'll be increasing my mileage and doing a much higher percentage of my runs on the road.

Be careful, it’ s always best to error in your favor. These knee injuries are tricky and do take lots of T L C to make you as whole as you can be again! Run , train and recover wisely!

Wow JD, that was a big run ! You are getting your stuff together! Looks to me like you will be entering a big goal race soon and getting a Boston qualification.....Keep up the great training and attitude!!! The Nestle 5k is coming up on June 2nd, have you got any interest in running it? I t’s a great small town race with a super family friendly attitude and it’s pretty competitive . probably the best value in racing in Utah. Under $10. to sign up!

From JD on Mon, May 21, 2018 at 10:04:10 from 73.20.104.180

hey thanks Tom!

no racing for me - all my miles have been slow as i work on whipping this neglected body back into shape. i may make a race goal for 2019 if things keep on keepin' on this year.

but good luck to you in the upcoming 5k - it's great to hear that races for ten bucks still exist out there!

13.1 miles - Chandra and i decided to run the Heber Valley Half Marathon the day AFTER the race, which was great because the port-o-potties were still out on the course and oh man what a beautiful place for a run! the start is around 8900 ft and drops to around 5700 ft at the finish. giant downhill for the first half of the run then rolls and flat to the finish. so i got to strengthen my downhill legs today. even though the first miles were downhill we kept it pretty slow around 9:20 + per mile then sped up the last half around 8:40's. ended up with an 8:56 avg for the run. good times! 

note: kudos to the race organizers for cleaning up the course so well after yesterdays race, i didn't see even one gel pack, cup or litter of any kind.

From JD on Sat, Jul 14, 2018 at 10:31:31 from 73.20.104.180

i keep a running tally of the miles i've run the previous 7 days at the bottom of each of my posts here on FRB. the "WT" stands for "Week Total". so i know my weekly miles on any given day, rather than on saturday only. it's been a helpful tool.

From Tom Slick on Sun, Jul 15, 2018 at 17:12:18 from 66.87.126.152

Besides my FRB calendar I keep a paper (Year) calendar that tracks each running day; time of day, time Running, miles completed, projected miles and type of training, the weather, which shoes I’m wearing, and calories burned on each run. Etc...

5 miles - lobstacrestview - poor sleep maybe from being sick. slept in a little and ran in the heat.

periodic bum knee report: so the left knee that i injured last october still presents a little pain at the beginning of most runs but goes away after warmed up except on longer runs where it will start to hurt a bit but not a sharp pain. mostly the knee is talking to me when i'm not running, sometimes it's loudest when i'm not moving at all. which suggests to me that the more i move the better off i'll be.

I get the same stuff going on in my left knee once in a while. It helps to get a fairly decent warm up and stretching routine completed before hitting the road especially warming up he knees. I also carry some "ABSORBINE LINIMENT" with me so if the knee starts to ache a bit I just roll on a little of this topical analgesic liquid and I get muscle and joint relief....check it out!

From JD on Sat, Jul 14, 2018 at 10:25:59 from 73.20.104.180

hmmm...i will check out the absorbine liniment.

between all the stairs in my house, and playing with the dogs, and weed pulling in the yard, i feel like my knee are always warmed up, limber, and ready to go! lol

Nice mileage accumulating for the week. Is Craig going to be a running buddy?

From JD on Thu, Jul 19, 2018 at 11:58:41 from 73.20.104.180

i've run with Craig several times now and it seems to be a good running match in that i tend to run slightly faster when we run together and the conversation is great.

i've run the last 10 days in a row and didn't sleep well last night so decided to take today off and ended up doing a couple hours of yard work.

last month i had a nine day streak towards the end of the month and i ran 49 miles in that 9 days, an average of 5.4 miles a day. this month i streaked 10 days with a total of 64 miles for an average of 6.4 miles per day. so i am improving slowly but steadily.

still enjoying a break from miles (like, for the last three years - lol!) but seriously, i've wrapped up a couple of minor projects for this summer and now have no excuse to not run consistently until ski season starts. i did go kayaking again last night which compelled me to run this morning as my legs get pretty cramped stuffed into a tiny whitewater kayak. still, i'll probably just run for fitness until i find some motivation for something more.

not funny

WT - 3 miles

a couple of funny stats for 2018:

- i ran 890 miles in the first 7 months of the year (127 miles per month avg)

- i ran 168 miles in the last 5 months of the year (33 miles per month avg)

- longest run was 13.1 miles at the beginning of july

- longest week was 47 miles towards the end of july

- longest month was 151 miles in july

- then it was all downhill from there! lol

still ran more miles this year than last (which was my lowest mileage year in 9 years!). but i have been skiing more the last couple of years and also got back into some kayaking last summer. this last summer i also spent quite a bit more time than usual improving the landscaping  and other house projects, which involved a lot of physical work and was also very rewarding! so i guess i'm achieving some semblance of balance physically and mentally which seems important. i do miss being really fit and able to knock out 12 milers on a whim - maybe i'll get back to that in the next year or two - 

in any event there's a lot to be grateful for as i peer over the precipice of 2019 - happy new year to one and all - it's sure to be a good one!
