Hilly lunch 9 with the guys. Actually wore tights- below freezing with 25 deg wind chill. My whole family is sick right now, and all I can think of is Star Wars characters. |

It's 15 deg right now in Greenville (before windchill), and 32 deg in Logan. Something just doesn't seem right. No run today- dentist during lunch, then at work too late to run. I haven't signed up or even spent any time looking for upcoming races. I think it is because I am slowly, very sadly coming to the realization that my competitive running career is likely over. Between my work hours and extreme lack of access to good trails, my trail running certainly will only go downhill. And for road running, it is difficult to run enough miles to be competitive even under ideal circumstances. The less-than-ideal conditions here (i.e. no running trails/bike paths, very unsafe to run on many roads, particularly when dark) make it that much more difficult. I know I can certainly run recreationally and even somewhat competitively and enjoy that, but it's hard to accept that my fastest days are probably behind me. I just can't see 100 mile weeks happening. I'm pretty sad about this. I'm not seeking sympathy or pep-talks, just venting to myself. It's a bitter pill to swallow.

| Lunch 8. Todd took us on a new route that included a little nice grass and dirt running. Nice to break out of the standard 3 routes, and real nice to be off pavement. |

Lunch run 8. It was 32 deg and rainy, which is about as miserable as conditions get. But it actually wasn't that bad- a couple of us were even wearing shorts. There was a bit of ice on the roads this morning so they cancelled the schools, which the definitely would not have done in Utah. Evening update- according to weather.com, it is now 46 deg in Greenville (and increasing!), 7 deg in Logan, and 9 deg in Idaho Falls. Life is good again.

AM- Woke up early to run with Todd. The 9 laps on the GE track seemed to go real fast thanks to steady conversation. About freezing temps, which felt pleasant. PM- First trail run in over a month! Maybe that's why I've been so depressed. Parked at Barry's house, 1 mile from Paris Mtn. 7 miles in about 70 min (that's what happens when the whole run is on leaf-covered trails and it's night). Didn't see a single person the whole time, and there was a nice stillness all around, a good Christmas peaceful feeling. I could actually see the lights of Greenville from the mtn, since the leaves are gone. 1200 ft climbing.

| AM- Headed back to Paris Mtn. Temp was 35 deg and it stopped raining just as I started, so I was not cold. Only saw 5 runners and 1 hiker the whole time on the trail. Felt pretty good and pushed the pace a bit, esp. at the start and finish. My longest run since my race on Nov 6, and my first time over 40 mpw in 6 weeks or so. Kinda sad, I know. But it's nice to be on the dirt again. 10.5 miles in 1:37:30 with 1900 ft climbing. | |
