| My computer said it was 25 degrees outside. It wasn't..... It was 50 degrees up on the bench where I live! I wasn't sure how to dress. I dressed for about 40 and was OK for most of the way. I hit cold air when I dropped off the bench but it wamed up as soon as I went back up the hill. It was weird. I ran 11.65 miles. |

| It was in the low 40's an was drizzling earlier in the morning, but luckily it stopped and the sun even came out for a little bit. It was windy, mostly headwinds, and it got cold the last couple miles. I ran this race for fun so I did not push much at all. I had a good time seeing everyone and this year the race had 200 entries compared to last year's 49. Jeff won, as I knew he would, and Dan Bruner ran a 1:20 PR getting ready for a marathon in Alabama next month. |

| Forgot to enter this on Saturday. It was snowing, blowing and temps were in the high 20's. In other words, it was NASTY. I ran 10.46 miles slow. Spent the rest of the day painting our family room and then going to the ISU football game....they actually WON! |

| It was 12 degrees this morning with light winds towards the end of my run. I had to wear all the normal winter gear and when I got home I had ice build-up on my neck warmer. Yep....it's looking like winter running already. I ran 8.53 miles slow but only had a few icy spots left over from Saturday's snow. |

| It was 17 degrees this morning but it felt warmer than that except when the wind was in your face. I ran 8.56 miles easy. I saw Kory this morning and he looked like he was going too fast for me so I did not turn and run with him, I just said hi. When I was finishing my run I scared up 6-7 pheasants in the field by my house. |

| It was 23 degrees and foggy this morning. I ran 6.52 miles easy to try to get back in the swing of things. Last week I took an overdue break..... The truth of the matter is I have been running in pain for months now. I have had several nagging injuries and pain that just won't go away. I tried running less miles with less intensity but that wasn't enough. I needed to just stop for a few days and just heal. I should have listened to my body more and done this earlier. My performances in the Pocatello and St. George marathons were due to the fact that any time I tried to run fast, it just plain hurt. When I ran the Just Cuz 1/2 marathon a few weeks ago I tried to take it easy and that hurt too. I need to get back to pain-free, enjoyable running. Today was better.
