Ran an easy 6.53 miles this afternoon about 2 hours after my 7 hour drive back from St. George.  I was a little stiff from the drive and wanted to loosen things up a bit.  It was really windy in Pocatello this afternoon but at least it wasn't raining like yesterday.

Nice, easy run this morning.  Cool wind, fall is here for sure.  Calves still a bit tight from Saturday.  Ran most of the miles with Jedd.  Nice to have a partner on a recovery run.

Not a bad run this morning.  Started out tired from working late on our restaurant remodel in Idaho Falls.  Bad news....was up and down ladders, stools, etc assembling equipment.  Good news...that stiffness in my calves is gone.

Finished with 2 fast miles.  Very windy and cool this morning.

Easy miles today.  Ran 3 miles with Dr. Bob Fisher.  The man has not missed a single day of running in almost 30 years.  I like to talk running with him periodically.  He still runs 55-60 miles per week.

Cool and windy today.

Ended up working in Idaho Falls from 6:30am to 8:30pm.  So no run today.  Will get a good one in tomorrow morning.

Nice run this morning.  It was chilly (28 degrees, 19 windchill) but legs were fresh.  Ran some great miles in the middle of the run.  7:33 avg pace for the 10.61 miles

Wow.....cold morning run.  We got some snow last night.  The wind from the North was extremely nasty on the bench.  Nice steady pace (considering the wind).
