Morning:  It was 23 degrees this morning with some light winds.  My objective today was just an easy recovery run.  I was feeling pretty sluggish so I did not worry about my pace at all.  I wasn't sure if it was the downhill run on Friday, the long run on Saturday, or the high mileage the last few weeks but I was slow today.  I ran 15.21 miles nice & easy.  When I weighed myself today I realized that I lost 3 pounds this week so I am obviously not eating enough to fuel my miles.  Hopefully some better eating this week will solve the problem.  Goal this week 110+.

Morning:  It was 30 degrees this morning with light winds.  I felt much better today and had some good speed when I wanted it.  I ate much better yesterday and also hydrated more.  I ran 15.26 miles in a good pace.

Morning:  I have the day off so I waited until after the sun was up to run.  It was 37 degrees with some wind but it was nice enough for shorts.  I wore a long-sleeve tech shirt which was great when I was in to the wind but I got hot during miles 12-18 when the wind was at my back.  It also warmed up to 50 by the time I got back.  I had a great run today.  I ran 23.40 miles with several MP miles thrown in along the way.  I had my Camelback with water so no stops again and I was able to maintain a nice pace.  By my estimation I am in 2:50-2:53 shape right now.

Morning:  Welcome to spring(?) in Idaho.  It was 30 degrees with winds steady at 25mph gusting to almost 40.  The wind chill was 15 degrees and it felt nasty.  It even started snowing halfway through my run.  I ran 15.20 miles and was lucky to keep some of the miles under 8:00 due to the winds.

Morning:  It was 28 degrees, winds 10-15mph, and snowing this morning.  This is really depressing after some nicer days earlier in the week.  It is, however, better than the huge winds we had yesterday.  I took it easy today and only went 12.13 miles.  I have been tired this week with a touch of a cold so I wanted to save it for my long run tomorrow.

Morning:  It was 20 degrees this morning with winds 15+, making the wind chill in the single digits.  I ran today with Barry Smith who is training for Ogden.  He wanted to go 18 miles, his longest run so far this year.  We went out Chubbuck Rd, then north to Tyhee, West to Rio Vista, then worked our way back.  It was chilly against the wind but was nice on our way back.  I ran 18.5 with him and then another 2.12 by myself.  Total run 20.62 miles.
