Everything felt pretty good this morning. No lingering soreness from last week and no PF in my right foot. Left the house about 6:00 a.m. It was a little hard waking up this morning as we went to bed a little bit late and just talked for a while. It was probably close to midnight before I got to sleep, but then I had a nice nap during the afternoon. The temperature this morning was 37 degrees, RH 40 and no wind.There was a gibbous moon in the southwest that provided just enough illumination to avoid falling through an open manhole (not enough to avoid small rocks though). My average pace for the run was 9:11 (a little improvement over last week). My weight is currently at 156.7 (ugh).

Always glad to hear your legs/feet are feeling well. Looks like your due for a good stretch of quality training in the coming weeks/months.

Glad you didn't fall in the manhole :)

Wow 37 degrees...it should be 73 degrees here today! This time of year always reminds me why i don't live up there anymore. Nice job in the cold!

PF is a pain in more than just the foot! Glad to here there wasn't any pain today.

I live in AF now and was actually running around your area today. I was wondering if you knew where that paved trail that is by the mouth of the canyon goes?

Thanks everybody, good to hear from you! I'm looking forward to some quality training this spring (even if it stays on the cool side :)

James, that's cool you're living in AF now. There are a lot of nice places to run around here. The paved trail at the mouth of American Fork Canyon heads southwest through the golf course and continues on the other side of 48th west just north of Lone Peak HS. It continues behind the HS and loops around the pond in Highland Glen Park. There's a branch of the trail that even heads into American Fork east of the Tri-City Golf course. There's also paved trail leading from the mouth of American Fork Canyon south along Canyon Road. I think it's eventually supposed to continue along the shoulder of the mountain into Provo, but right now it just ends a little past the top of the hill. Let me know when you're in the area and I'll show you around.
