6 evening miles.  Based on the run Saturday morning, maybe I should have stayed off.

Cold run with Andy and Tara.  Early start in the dark, out to Farmington State street, then home on Legacy.  I backtracked to meet them, so all my mile markers were off.  None of us were really feeling it; I think the cold was sapping us.

8 on the TM, 65 minutes.  I went to the chiro afterward...hopefully it helps.

Spent the day at home with the little boys.  Careful what you wish for, but I wish I didn't have a job.

tm, 57 minutes.  Working out works.  I couldn't do this run 2-3 weeks ago.

6 on the mill followed by 1.5 hrs of church brawl. 

Apparently there's a lot of drama on this blog.  Huh.  I never really noticed, unless drama is synonomous with boredom.

7 miles to watch an NFL game, with 30 second skips between plays.  "Yes, I love technology..."

7 is the new treadmill 10k.  Need to turn it into 8, as well as flesh out a marathon training plan.  The base is reasonable, now it's time to start building and working a wee bit harder.

Sometimes I don't do a very good job of color coordinating my running shoes and shorts and shirt.

8 more on the mill, alternating between 8 mph for .75 and 7 mph for .5.  Average pace ended up just under 8 mm.  

Treadmill running leads to a lot of extra tv watching.

10 more on the mill.  That's a few too many to stay interested in anything.

Driving down from Bntfl. Blvd this morning I saw a band of smog; it didn't come up that high.  In the afternoon, I returned to elevation to run out and back in clean air and sunshine.  The car indicated a temp of 46 degrees, but there was little if any melting, so...

I was mostly comfortable in long sleeves and shorts, with gloves and no hat.  I made 6.25 miles out, before the road became BST into City Creek Canyon.  I turned around, and limped home, thirsty and out of fuel.  Overall pace 8:15.

7 mph treadmill miles, after an uneventful MLK day.

Could be 8, could be 7 so I split the difference.  Good groove, mostly.

Gotta get new shoes.  I keep saying that but not doing anything.  The advert changed from solar panes to renewable biomass energy gassification boilers...is my search history that obvious?

Before work...first time this year.  I overate at the Mandarin, and stayed up too late arguing  discussing church and politics, so I had to push the run.

For this run I wore a black hat, black mismatched gloves, bright green jacket, grey pants and orange shoes.  What I lack in color coordination I make up for in bs propensity.  Tara and I out and backed bntfl blvd, with lots of ups and downs.  It was cold. 

After 10 miles, my 72 degree powerade was so cold it was hard to drink.  That's proof of either how slow I was going, or how cold it was.

It was a good effort for the end of the week.  As a reward for finishing, I drank 5 mtn dews and had a really big turkey cheddar and spinach sandwich.

1 hour.  We were watching amazing race, but then the maternal unit came and made the girls go to bed.

Climbed to the BST, Freedom Hills, home on Main.  It was colder than I thought; a long hot shower was necessary to stop the shivering.  Clean aire!  party hat + superfluous e

Ran home from the Clean Air Rally via City Creek and BST.  The trail had only a few muddy spots.  Good climbs that I couldn't manage.  It was a bit windy from the north, and I ran myself into a cold.  I thought I was out of the mucky air, but not quite.
