Pretty easy run on the canals - quite a bit of rain earlier in the day, but pretty good conditions on the canals. Average pace of about 7:40-45/mile.

Great run from the Alder Creek Bridge upstream and back. Cool morning (high 30s) with quite a bit of fog hanging in the canyon. Felt really good, like maybe this is the turning point in my running right now. Went out at about 7:45/mile pace and came back at about 7:00/mile pace, including a 0.7 mile pickup at the end at 6:25/mile pace.

Ran at 7:30 a.m. I have trainings off campus all week and don't have to be there until 9 a.m., so I was able to run in the light. Easy pace of about 7:55/mile. Sub 8 is fine for me when it's early, cold and I'm out of shape.

Later ran a mile with Nica while she biked at the Borah track.

Snow day today! Took a mid morning run around the neighborhoods and really enjoyed just getting out. It was coming down hard this morning.

| Walked the Valley High loop - took the day off, and it was too slick to run up there anyway.
Good core workout in p.m.

Super cold this week (7 degrees this evening) and I'm definitely getting sick. Took an easy jog on the treadmill and called it good.

Slow treadmill run at 9:30 p.m. Throat still hurts and cold and ice streak continues outside. Treadmill runs for the near future.

Still super icy and at least 8" of snow, but I needed to get outside. Just ran slow and made sure I stayed on my feet. Average pace of about 8:25/mile.

| A.M. - Rock Creek loop - 52+
Early morning run with Roger, Mark E. and some other folks in Twin Falls. Started in the pouring rain, ended up a decent day. Admire this group for their dedication and always getting out and making running fun.
P.M. - CSI indoor track - 32+
Ran mostly with Emily and some with Karl and Jacob. 14 laps to the mile would get tedious on a regular basis but it was actually a lot of fun for today.
Weights and core - 20 minutes post run at CSI

Bad sore throat again, so I just talked myself into going out and jogging for a little bit. The plus is that the roads are mostly clear of snow and ice now. Average pace of 8:03/mile.

Ran from the Garden City access on the way back from the cabin. Gorgeous run at twilight on one of my favorite sections of trail. Average pace of about 7:50/mile - much quicker than yesterday.
