Greenbelt - 1:24
Had a pretty nice longer run out on the greenbelt today. Started at the Doubletree and went upstream. I made it a few minutes on the dirt section (more accurately an ice section) before turning around. Overall it was still icy, slushy and hard going, but that's ok. Did 6 x 30 second pickups on a relatively safe stretch of path at mile 6.

A.M. - Greenbelt - 14:36
Dropped Emily off at work, then ran with Leo down to the river and back. He was struggling today and we ended up walking the last bit. Warm and windy out today.
P.M. - Run from Gold's - 53:43
Steady run from the gym around Capital High School, then did 8 x 20 second strides in the Fairmont parking lot. The roads and sidewalks are pretty much clear, and I was able to run in shorts. What a great feeling.
Weights, core & stretching - 25 minutes

PMI: 1.5 mile wo, 4 mile tempo, 1 mile wd
Ran around the neighborhoods for this run. It was a bit harder than I hoped for and I didn't feel that great. Splits were 6:06, 6:01, 5:51 and 5:51 for a 23:48 (5:57/mile) total. Next time I'll add another mile on the tempo and start just a few seconds slower.
PMII: Run to Golds - 14+
Ran to the gym and did the steamroom/hot tub workout. An easier way to work up a sweat than running a tempo run!

A.M. - Run to Camelsback + back - 39:08
Ran with Mat from his new house to Camelsback Park and back. We wanted to run the trails there, but they were as icy as I've ever seen any surface (maybe a slight exaggeration, but not much). We almost fell just walking on them. It's just as well because my shin is really starting to become an issue, even though I've been trying to ignore it.
P.M. - Canal Banks - 17:24
Really easy jog with Leo. Last run of 2008 and it was a dandy.

Treadmill at Gold's - 40:33
Started out super easy and picked it up just a little. Shin started hurting part way in again, so I backed off the last few minutes. Other than that, not an eventful run. I did watch the Rose Bowl during the run. USC put the hurt on Penn St. Who didn't see that one coming?

Treadmill - 44:27
Ran easy on the treadmill at home. Took it very easy to protect the shin, which still ached a little but not to the point it inhibited my stride.
Weights, core & stretching - 25 minutes
Also hiked a couple of miles along the Snake River near Swan Falls with Emily and Leo.

Run home from South - 29:51
Took it easy another day. Shin is still a little sore, so I just kept it short and slow. Hopefully I'll be back at it in a day or two.
