| I picked up Barry Smith at 6:15 and we drove to the start of the marathon course. The temperature was OK (32) but we had pretty strong headwinds the first 13 miles which made it feel colder and slowed our pace. We ran 16.28 miles. |

| It was about 40 degrees, which was good; but the winds were very strong out of the South-East at 25-30mph. I ran 10.53 miles, slow against the wind, fast with the wind :) | |

| It was 27 degrees with light winds this morning. Barry and I had hitched a ride to the top of Buckskin to run part of the marathon course with several other runners. As we started, we realized we would be waiting for almost an hour at the drop car for the others to get there. And...it wasn't our car anyway. So we decided after 6 miles to turn around, run back up Buckskin, and then run down the Pocatello side back home. We ran 17.26 miles, fast downhill, slow uphill. |

| Barry sent me a text yesterday and asked me if I wanted to run 11 miles today with him and Dallin. I said OK, not thinking who Dallin is. When I ran over to Barry's house and saw it was Dallin Farnsworth, I knew it was going to be a long morning. I have not been feeling great and speed has not been with me lately. For those of you who don't live around here, Dallin Farnsworth is a Junior in high school and one of the best cross-country and track runners in the country. He raced last Friday in New York City in the New Balance Indoor Championships and finished 4th in the nation behind 3 seniors and missed the all-time record for a junior by 1.5 seconds. He is racing again next week at another national meet at Stanford. The kid is fast.... When we started, Barry told him we would start slow and then run some tempo miles later on. We ran up to Satterfield, down the hill, and back up to Monte Vista. Then Barry said we would tempo the next 2 miles just past Syringa Elementary school. We started picking up the pace and I could not keep up with them. I ran a 6:30 mile and was lagging way behind. Dallin didn't even break a sweat. We even had him run an extra mile loop on the ISU campus while we headed back North, but he caught us before we got to Alameda Park. Overall, this was actually one of my better paced runs this year, but I felt like a slug next to this great runner. It's actually pretty cool that he only lives a few blocks from me. There must be some genetic thing going on in his family because all the state/course records that Dallin is breaking were held by his older brother Taylor, who runs for BYU now. I feel old and tired...

The plan was to run over to Kory's house this morning, run 5-6 miles with him, and then run home.....that was the plan..... When I got up this morning we were in a blizzard. There was 4+ inches of heavy wet snow with 30+mph winds. I decided to just drive over to Kory's instead because the roads were so bad and it is always better by his house because he lives more on the valley floor. Kory, Barry, and I ran 6 miles in the slop, slush and heavy winds but it wasn't too bad because we spent the whole time talking and catching up since it has been a long time since I have talked to either of them. It was good to see Kory running again....
I am not too worried about the mileage today as I am going to spend all day outside loading a construction dumpster with stuff from my yard....it is such a lovely day (not) for it.

| I was way too wiped-out this morning after all the outside work I did yesterday. My back and shoulders are killing me, but at least I completed all the destruction and hauling away I wanted to finish! | | Add Comment |

| It was 27 degrees this morning with some cold breezes on the back side of Buckskin. Barry and I ran the marathon course all the way to Century High School without the out and back at mile 7. We ran 20.21 miles and kept a good pace the whole way. My pain level was lower than it has been in quite a while. |

| It was 31 degrees and snowing this morning. Luckily, the winds were fairly mild. I did my Tuesday run today because I have to be in Rexburg fairly early tomorrow and will not have as much time. I ran a couple miles before I met up with a newer running group Barry Smith started on M-W-F. I ran 3.5 with them with a couple faster miles thrown in. I then ran another 6.7 on my own to finish with 12.23 for the morning. It snowed the whole time. | |
