| Yuck, I got a bad cold and couldn't breathe. I think it was the only way to keep me off my injured foot. My foot has healed and I was able to run an easy five miles tonight. |

| My wife and I did 2.5 miles up Perry Canyon. Beautiful run. It felt so good to be on single track trails again. |

My third annual running of the First Dam Run 5k in Logan, Utah. Two years ago it was my first race. My wife and daughter, Emily, ran with me. I'm just getting over a bad cold and couldn't quite get the lungs full of air. I still had a good race, coming in 3rd in AG. My wife set a new 5k PR by over a minute (her third 5k). In two years of running I've logged 2478 miles and completed 38 races (never came in first overall, but I've come in last overall twice). I've made many good friends and enjoyed dramatically improved health. Best yet is my wife started running with me a couple of months ago and is quickly becoming a 5k addict. Thanks to all on this blog that have supported and encouraged me. 'Just Keep Running!'

| Ran on the canal road at 5:30 pm with my wife. Really cold headwind as we ran south. It was still cold, but not as bitter on the return trip. Time to break out the winter gear. |

| Canal road. Easy miles after a cold followed by a sinus and bronchial infection. I missed running so much, which makes me grumpy, but I could not breathe. |

| Canal road. Trying to get back in the swing of things. Thankful for the ATV's that mash down the snow on the canal road and trails. |

| 700 runners in full Santa suits. First race back from being sick for the last two weeks. It makes me appreciate the simple act of breathing a full breath without coughing and gagging. I didn't push the pace, but it still felt great to kick it in to the finish line. My wife and daughter worked the finish line. Fun race. | | Add Comment |

| 5 miles combination of the canal road and neighborhood roads. It was dark by the time I got home from work and dressed for winter running. Lots of 'critter tracks' on the canal road. I got tired of high stepping through the snow on the canal road. I thought the surface streets would be better. They weren't. I got to gingerly run on the slippery ice, so back up to the canal road. I wore my new 'ninja' hood, it worked well, it is thin enough to breathe through and not be annoying. |

| 5 miles on the canal road. Started running at dusk, saw 22 deer enroute, 21 alive and one in the dry canal that had fallen prey to a mountain lion. I saw big cat tracks on my run yesterday, but today when heading south on the way back after my turn-around point I saw mountain lion tracks on top of my northbound shoe prints. It was a bit unnerving. I was on heightened awareness the rest of the way home. It was a great workout running in the snow. |
