| 30 miles solo before work this morning. As I ran the wind started picking and I ended up running the last 4 miles into a 20+ mph wind. That bit.

| 30+ mph winds today so I did an easy 10 miles on the TM at 8:00 pace with a max HR of 132.

| 10 nice and easy. Blake is gone for more training this week so I'll be running solo all week. We are moving my office at the end of the week as well so I don't know how many miles I will get Friday and Saturday.

| My Lone Peak trail shoes got torn up on my last run in Utah over Thanksgiving so I was sporting some new Altra Superior trail shoes this morning as I hit the trails for a 10 mile run. I loved my old Superiors but I really like the changes to the new version. They fit a little more snug while still giving a nice large toe box.

| I thought about staying in bed this morning, but as I laid there contemplating my day, I knew that I needed the stress relief of a morning run to get through the day and that I would regret not getting in a run, so I got out of bed. It didn't take long before I was happy to be out running.

| I spent the last few days moving my office so I didn't have time to run. I also spent today on the move and will finish tomorrow and open in our new location Wednesday. I did squeeze in a short trail run this morning though and it really felt good and energized me for the day. 6 miles. Hopefully I can get some miles in tomorrow as well. It will be good to get back to my normal schedule once this move is over.

| Work is kicking my butt this week. I got in 10 this morning, but it doesn't look like I'll get in any more miles this week. Unfortunately this was supposed to be my max mileage week for my upcomming 50 miler. Oh well. I'll try and get in a decent week next week before I start my taper.

| 15 miles this morning. It was a really nice run. It was still cold, but not windy. I did get a blister on my left big toe though which is really weird for me. I never get blisters and I was wearing shoes that already have a little over 300 miles on them and have never caused me any problems before. Who knows? Maybe I had something in my sock.

| 15 more just focusing on good running form the whole time. Ended up being about 5 minutes faster than yesterday even though I felt like I was keeping it easy.

| 4 easy recovery miles in the rain! I almost never get to run in the rain here in the desert so I really enjoyed my run this morning.

| Blake has been nursing an ankle injury and made it official this week that he is pulling out of Avalon 50. That left me to do my last long run solo this morning, but it was a perfect day for a long run; overcast, low 50s, and no wind. I started off well trying to keep a nice easy pace, but around mile 22 I hit a dark spot for a few miles. I finally worked through it and did my last 4 miles with an average pace of 7:32.
Total run: 30 miles, 4hours 18 minutes, 1900 ft elevation gain and loss.

| 13 miles on the trails pushing a hard effort the whole time. I haven't felt my lungs like that in a while. It felt good. Now I better slow down a bit and get serious about my taper.

| Yesterday I took a rest day to officially kick off my taper. My legs felt really strong this morning, but I just ran an easy 6. My watch says I have a new VO2Max of 51 this morning. I don't know a lot about VO2Max but I think that is pretty good for a 45 year old.

| 10 really easy miles this morning but I wasn't really into it until the last mile when I finally started having fun. Maybe I will take tomorrow off since I am 8 days out from Avalon 50.
Happy New Year everyone.
