Well, folks, I'm BAAAACK!  

Hopefully for good.  Went on a short "easy" run today along the BST from Green Canyon to First Dam and back.  I put "easy" in quotations because 4 miles at 8:45 pace *should* feel easy.  But, I am out of shape!  I was sucking wind like I was running an all-out 10k.  I guess that's what 6 weeks of not running plus another 2-3 of almost not running will do to you, I suppose.  Hopefully I can get back to feeling normal sooner rather than later, but I will continue to take it easy for a little while.  The best news is there was no pain at all in the IT band area, and I'm writing this the next morning so that includes after the run.  I guess there are no guarantees just yet, but early indications are hopeful.  Here's hoping for a great 2012.  Happy New Year everyone!

Easy run today.  Felt a lot more natural and not as painful as yesterday.  Still no pain in the IT band, though there was a lot of general soreness all over.  To be expected.

Quick loop around campus.  Beautiful day for a run.  45 degrees and sunny.  This feels more like a Southern Utah winter than a Cache Valley one.  I can't say I'm complaining, especially after last winter's polar adventure.

Didn't feel so good today.  Felt sore and out of shape so I just went out for a few minutes.

Fantastic run today.  Hit Green Canyon for a somewhat icy but very enjoyable run.  Today is the first day I have really felt much like myself since getting back in the saddle.  Green was surprisingly runnable, though I did take one good spill and have a nice scrape on my thigh and a sore wrist to show for it.  Totally worth it though.  Time was very slow, but the ice and me still taking it very cautiously are to blame for that.  No pain still, and I'm beginning to become a little more confident.

Felt good again today.  Went out with a nice soft blanket of snow.  Still a beautiful day, but it actually looked like winter is supposed to look here.  Update on my "sore wrist" from last night:  Turns out I think I sprained it or at least just jammed it really good.  I don't think it's too bad but it started killing me late last night so I wrapped it up good and rubbed it down with some icy hot. Well, I'd rather mess up my wrist than my leg.  You don't need wrists to run.  haha.
