It was a beautiful morning....clear skies and 40 degrees.  Today was an easy recovery run.  I ran 10.25 miles nice and easy to work out some stiffness in my quads from Saturday's marathon.

 Went on a bike ride tonight because it was soooooo nice outside....around 70 degrees.  I rode 10.27 miles and it helped my quads alot.

It was cooler this morning (40 degrees) but the 20+mph wind was really cold when I ran directly in to it.  We have a chance of snow the next 2 nights...GRRRR.  I ran 10.54 miles and felt pretty good.

It was 25 degrees on the top of Buckskin this morning.  My friend Barry Smith needed one more long run before Ogden so I agreed to run with him.  We ran the first 23 miles of the Pocatello marathon course.  We just went fairly easy for distance and did not push hard.  I ran 23.00 miles in 2:49.......Kory don't yell at me, it felt really good.  My Camelback hose froze by mile 3 but I thawed it out by tucking it in.  I ran in shorts even with the cold and was fine because there was little wind
