RHR 49.

Needed to get in 7.5 miles today. Started my run at 2:30.  It was sunny and gorgeous out and I was taking off layers.  First two miles around Wheeler Farm.  Running through the snow was fun, but my achilles was making little whimpers, so thought I would try a new route from there.  Of course, shortly after that it got cloudy and started cooling down.  Ran down 9th East from Wheeler Farm to the Van Winkle. Then turned onto Van Winkle and ran up it to Golds Gym. Did a quick pit stop and water break there.  Headed back over to 9th East on 5600 South and took that to Vine Street, then over to 9th again and back to Wheeler Farm.  Nothing spectacular but I passed the 1600 mile marker.  Haven't used cross training miles in months as part of my running miles.  

Stopped by Wasatch Running and picked up a pack of heel inserts.  I've been reading that raising the heel takes pressure off the achilles and they agreed with me, so will give this a try.

Later - if I get ambitious - I might do Wii Fit.  I will be blogging my year end summary in my other blog, so check it out later tonight.

Thanks to all my wonderful running friends for supporting me this year!
