I ran some easy miles through the Orem/Lindon hills with Wayne this morning. Larry said he was coming but we didn't see him until after the run. He said he woke up early, went back to bed, then apparently slept through turning off the alarm.
Wayne and I only averaged about a 9:15 pace. Larry can stop worrying about him slowing us down. |

| I ran solo at noon today from my house. I only went 4 miles, but managed to average under 8:00/mi (7:58/mi) for the first time in a while. My left Achilles is still bothering me a little...no better, no worse. I keep forgetting to treat it regularly because it only starts bothering me a few miles into a run and doesn't bother me after. I guess when it matters enough I'll do something about it. Running hasn't been much of a priority for me recently...and that's okay.

| Ran with Larry and Wayne this morning. That hasn't been happening as regularly as normal recently. It's always good when the three of us get out together. |

| Solo run of 5.2 miles @ 8:35/mi average pace. I missed having Larry and Wayne with me, but I enjoy a solo run now and then. I ran down to Orem city center and back. There was a heavy frost this morning. I saw Andrew start his car then go back in so I scraped his windows for him before I started my run. I actually enjoyed it. I'm a blessed man to have a son like Andrew, and all my other kids.

| I ran at noon from work up to Provo Canyon and back for just over 5 miles. It was a beautiful run, cool and clear and sunny. |

| No Wayne or Larry this morning. That was probably good. I ended up going short to rest my Achilles. |

| I played a couple of hours of basketball with my son Andrew and the old crew. It was fun...but exhausting. | | Add Comment |

| I haven't given running much thought for a couple of weeks. I've been fully engaged at my new job (in a challenging and positive way...I'm really enjoying it), the conditions haven't been so good for running, and I had decided to give my Achilles some down time. I know I should apply RICE (Rest Ice Compression Elevation) to injuries, but I often just end doing IC, or sometimes II (Ice and Ibuprofen). I figured now was a good time to try some R. Anyway, with the end of the old year and the new year (and the Painter's half marathon) coming, I decided to get a little running in on the last day of the year.
