The Dude abides...

Day off work today so I decided to get a little longer run in today.  Good run, had to come back home at 4.5 miles for a pit stop and then back out for 10.5.

Back to work and back to my normal Tuesday run.  Good run felt colder today because it was a little breezy.  Must have been swirling because I had a headwind for the entire run.

Good run today although it felt like I was running in slow motion today, just slogging along.  Ended up with a good time so no complaints.

Good run and the no snow weird weather continues, looks like at least another week.  I so don't want December/January snow/rain/cold in March and April.  Tempo for the last 4 miles this morning felt good.

Legs felt a little tired today so I took it easy.  Uneventful run this morning.

Cold this morning but I'm not complaining.  Forecast was for 10-11 actual temp was 21, I'll take 21.  Good run felt good today.  Full moon was cool this morning turning yellow as it set into the clouds out west.

Good hard run today, noticed myself wanting to push it after about .5 so I went with it.

Normal pace run today, just happy to be out in the cold.....not really.  Cmon spring.  Wind from the NW today so 2nd half was cold into the wind.  At least the air is clear today.

Cold, cold run today at 11 degrees.  Wore 6 shirts today, 2 pair of gloves, tights, pants, and 2 hats.  Felt like the little kid from Christmas Story in his snow suit.  Don't like to be cold.

Great, cold run this morning.  School is out so it was a nice quiet, peaceful run.  It's amazing how much more traffic there is when school is in.  Felt good today just cruisin along.

Got up and it was a little windy so I got dressed ready to go.  Walk out the door and it's blowing hard and snowing now.  NEAT!  Felt like I was in a snow globe that just got shaken up.  Good run beside me being insane.  Snow and wind pretty much stopped with 1 - .5 to go.  Thank you snow storm....

14 and breezy outside this morning.  At least it wasn't snowing.  Bundled up and hit it.

Great run today, good effort and good pace for the entire run.  The fact that it was 20 degrees warmer today than yesterday didn't hurt.  Just felt really good today for a hard effort run.

Raining with about an inch of slush on the side of the road this morning, no way I'm going to run in rain and slush.  Hit the Hamster wheel this morning while watching Lincoln Lawyer.  Good show helped keep me distracted for the run.

Good to be outside after yesterday and it was warm enough for shorts.  Great run, felt really good today.

I'm glad the weather reports were wrong and the snow is holding off until this afternoon.  Took advantage of a warmer morning at 31 and ran a half this morning.  Felt good, nice start to the week except for the part were I almost got hit by a school bus that didn't want to wait for me.

Snowy, icy, slushy slowish run today.  I think there was only about 1.25 miles of plowed road today.  Lots of people out slow blowing this morning looking at me like I'm nuts.  I don't really have a good defense to deny it but it's a good kinda nuts.

Good run the roads were clear, but my legs are a little tired.  They've been a little tired since Monday.  It actually felt slightly warm at 33, I did overdress a little but it was nice.

Normal Thursday run, good to get out.  Pretty uneventful today.

Decided to go 10 today to get 50 for the week.  Good run although it felt cold and it was, the Hospital sign said 23 with a breeze from the NW.  Nice to have another good run out in the blue dome to cap off the week.

When I left the temp was 26, by the time I got up by the Hospital sign it was 33.  Nice to have a little warmup around 6:30 am.  Good run except for the last 4 miles.  My left calf started feeling cramped and wouldn't let up.  Feels ok now but I'll have to watch it.

Good uneventful run today.  Uneventful included no calf issues which was great, I was a little worried after yesterday.

Grrrr...calf tightness again today for the last 3 miles.  With about 1.5 left a little poodle type dog came out after me I had to stop and yell at it just as it was trying to go for my leg.  I wasn't really worried about it because it was a little dog, a stupid little dog.  Of course nobody around to claim ownership of it.

Very slick this morning, about .5 inches of snow melted on the road to form ice.  I was searching for the little bit of crunchy snow on the shoulder of the road.  The crunchy snow wasn't slippery.  Wore a calf sleeve today and it felt better, I'll probably have to wear it for a week or so.

Very weird morning.  Saw the wind warnings on the news this morning, looked out the window and no wind.  Get about 2 miles in and start getting the wind out of Weber canyon but not too bad.  At about 3.5 miles in it starts howling and it's swirling from all different directions.  Up around the Ogden Athletic club it was blowing very hard but the further I got away from the mountain on my 2nd half the lighter the wind until I got about 9 miles in and no wind again, crazy.  At one point about a quarter mile in front of me I could see the flags blowing away from me meaning a tail wind but the wind was actually a very strong head wind.  My legs are tired now after pushing through the wind.

Plan was for 13 today but I felt good so I decided to add on a couple.   Plus adding a couple after eating too much at the Super Bowl party yesterday didn't hurt either.  Good run, especially when the sun came up about 11 miles in or so. 

An easy 8.5 after yesterday turned into a medium effort run today.  Legs slightly tired but no big deal and I had a great run.

If you didn't see the moon out this morning you really missed something.  It was huge, full, and yellow setting into the west.

Picked up the new Van Halen album on the way to work, it's great.  About time as well.

A little mild out this morning at 32-33 degrees.  I'll take it, good run today just cruising along.

Good harder effort run today, felt good.  Light snow showers today but the temps were nice so no complaints for February.  Weatherman said this is the anniversary of the coldest temp measured in SLC back in 1933 it was -30, I'll take the +35 this morning.

Alright, it's official I'm getting sick.  Head cold right now with a slight scratchy throat.  I could feel it today running I just felt weak.  Managed to get my run done, an easy cruiser today nothing special.

Another not feeling good run today.  Roads were slushy, slick and messy.  Couldn't get any toe off for most of my run.  Nice morning aside from the road conditions, even being sick I'm glad I got out.

Still don't feel well, stupid cold.  If I would have had anything on my stomach I would have thrown it up at about 2 miles today and while I'm complaining I don't think a human body could produce more boogers.  Run was ok, glad I got out but I just want to feel better.

Didn't feel real good this morning and when it started snowing that was enough to completely squash any motivation I had.  Got home from work and decided to go for a cruiser, felt better than I've felt all week so I ran my normal run.

Hard to get up this morning, and legs were trashed.  Made it through my run but now I'm done for today.  Felt really cold this morning, kind of a bummer because the last few mornings felt like a light at the end of the tunnel for these dark, cold, winter blahhhhhs.  Good thing I don't have to run until tomorrow morning.

10 tired miles on a cold feeling morning.  I think this cold is really making me feel more tired when I run.  Now for the weekend off to relax and try to get over this crap.

Day off so I got up at my normal time for a run.  Had a lot to do today, daughters soccer game and fishing so I had to get going this morning.  Cold run but a good run topped off by a great day fishing.

Motivation - Snowing outside = No motivation......Finally dragged myself out of bed on onto the TM this morning.  Ended up being an ok run for a TM run.  Watched Back to the Future while running today.

Great morning with mild temps.  Nice run today, I really hit the 2nd half pretty hard for me.  I took my gloves off at 4 miles and didn't put them back on, which for the next week looks like won't be the case.  Supposed to get cold again...bummer.

No run today, decided to take the day off.  Had some blood in my urine after yesterday's run kinda stressed me out.  Cleared up later in the day but I thought I'd err on the side of being cautious today.

Great run this morning with some weirdness.  Started my run and a weird car was driving around the neighborhood and really acting suspiciously, pulling over and stopping and then swerving around when driving.  I ran a 1.5 mile loop and when I came back the car was parked still..again weird.  Running up the road I got lucky and a sherriff's car came by so I flagged her down and told her about the weird car.  She said she would check it out.  Ran into the officer again with about .5 to go and she stopped me and told me she talked to him, even she said he was very suspicous.  She searched him and his car but didn't find anything.  She thinks we probably caught him before whatever he was going to do happened.  So a little excitement for the day and I'm glad I ran into the officer.

Good run on the TM this morning, 10k in 52:39.  Figured I get a run in this morning since I felt good and no run on Thursday.

Good run this morning aside from somebodies Pit Bull being loose.  Luckily it wasn't really interested in me when I stopped and walked.  I'm soooooooo ready for spring.

Got up, cloudy but no snow.  Radar looked good on KSL news.  Got dressed and walked out the door just in time for it to start snowing.  Neato!  Decided to suck it up and hit it.  Great run in the snow today and I was literally sucking in snow as well.

I wore a watch today which I haven't done in 8 months or so....great ave pace and had some really good miles for me.  Fitness has definately improved which gets my motivation up.

Windy, about 20mph, this morning. Decided to tough it out and run.  Got .5 in and it started snowing with the wind.  That sucked.  Got through 10 although I thought about turning around a lot.

Roads were icy and snowpacked this morning so off to the TM.  Watched Ture Grit while toiling away on the Hamster wheel.  Pretty good run today, felt good just set it at 7.0 and ran medium/medium high effort.  Program I use has inclines that go as high as 2.5.

Roads were snow packed, icy, not plowed.  I couldn't face another day on the TM so I decided to hit it out in the Blue Dome.  Roads were as bad as I thought they'd be so the run was an easy pace today.  Not a super great run but better than the TM today.

Left hamstring a little sore, much worse on Friday and Saturday so today's run was at a fairly easy pace.  Great morning with nice temps, after last week we earned it.

Great morning, temp was 51.  Shorts and short sleeve shirt, awesome.  Now we get snow again....bummer.  First run outside in the Altra's, I'm going to like them and they seem to make me pay attention to my form especially going uphill.

What's up after 51 yesterday it was 25 today.  The roads were straight ice I should have worn skates instead of shoes.  Up early to get to SLC for an Oracle conference.

Cold again this morning but at least the roads were dry.  Good run......can't wait for spring.  Tuesday morning was too nice.

PM - 2 miles very easy with my wife and daughter.  Good to get out with them for a change.

Great run today, pretty hard effort for the entire run.  Maybe not the best idea on a sketchy left hamstring but I seem to have pulled through unscathed....well lets say not any more scatched than I was before the run.

Looking forward to the Bare Naked Ladies concert tonight.

Great run under the Blue Dome this morning....well Black Dome for 1/2 the run until the sun started coming up.  Shorts and 2 shirts today, what a great spring like morning.  Now I'm dragging, time change is already killing me this year.

Nice temps this morning but the wind really messed it up.  Very windy this morning, continuing the theme this year.  Good run in the dark, blah blah blah.

Let's try the sarcastic path today....I sure do LOVE running in the wind, I wish it was windy every day.  There hopefully it will be windy again for 3 days straight tomorrow.  Good cruiser this morning and I'm loving the temps, shorts, no gloves.

 PM:  Kudos to Oreo for pointing out the obvious.  Took my daughter to soccer after work and didn't want to sit waiting.  Oreo suggested a run, don't know why I didn't think about that.  Good run in nice weather and no wind.  Ran from Farr West elementary west into Plain City and back. 

Felt really good today for running a double yesterday, much better than I thought I would.  Good run on a great windless morning.  I'm not looking forward to the snow/rain on Sunday/Monday.

Pretty windy again today, yahoo!  Nice morning, great temp and aside from the wind it was a good run.  I think it made my legs tired because they're a little trashed now.

Snowing outside this morning completely bummed me out and I decided to take a day off.  Rolled over and went back to sleep.

Cold again.....blah.  After last weeks warmer mornings this was blah.  Good run aside from the cold.  Feeling good after yesterday off.

*

Tired today, what's up with that?  Dragged myself through 10 miles today, not too bad considering.  Overdressed today, rolled my sleeves up and took my gloves off.  Great morning for a run.

*

Tired miles this morning, for some reason I'm dragging this week.  Hopefully I'm not getting sick.

*

PM: 5.25 east on 2700N in Farr West/Pleasant View while my daughter practiced soccer.  Good run, negative splits for all 5 miles. 

Fairly easy run today, just cruisin along.  I've noticed over the last couple of weeks that it's nice to have the birds out and singing in the morning.

Great run this morning, I was trying to run easy and relaxed today and definately met that goal.  Made it just in time today with about .9 left it started blowing really hard and then with about .5 left it started sprinkling.  Got home and within 5 mintues there was thunder/lighting, rain, and snow.  Really had to pee half way through, probably was kinda a funny to see me running a long at times kinda doing the pee dance.

Good run on a cooler but really nice morning.  I seen a first this morning, there was a lady driving and brushing her teeth.  No idea where she was going to spit or how she was going to rinse.

Continuing the theme of the week.....great run again.  Every run should be like today.  Ended up with a good pace and my effort felt really easy.

Cooler again this morning but had a good run.  Pushed the pace again today and felt really good and maintainable.

Supposed to be a easy run this morning but I ended up tempoing the 2nd half.  I didn't really think about it until I had 3 miles to go then I just went with it.

Great run this morning although it was only 29 degrees.  Wimped out and wore long pants and shirts because I felt cold when I got out of bed.  I knocked 12 minutes off my last Ogden half time and my route is a tougher route(more uphill) than Odgen so I'm happy with the effort this morning.

Nicer morning today although it was quite windy.  Felt like it was coming out of Weber Canyon.  Good run this morning just cruizin along.  Must be spring time....I've seen more runners out this week than I seen for all of Winter.

Sunrise this morning was pretty awsome...started pink went to orange and then yellow, very nice to match my run this morning.  Good cruiser today hit the last mile really hard.  Felt like I'm starting to get a shin splint during yesterday's run so I wore my calf sleeve and it felt really good today.

Since the weather is supposed to be cold and soso tomorrow I decided to switch days.  Plan was for 10 miles easy.  I promised myself an easy effort today since I've been running hard all week.  Succeeded in running easy and I felt really good so I tacked on a couple of miles.

A sure sign of spring....I've seen more runners this week than I seen all winter.

PM - 5.25 mile easy run up 2700 N in Farr West while my daughter had soccer practice.

Awesome morning and a great run.  Had to push it a little because I realized I had to be to work.  Felt good and was only a couple of minutes late.....

Nice run on a great morning.  Cool sunrise kinda backlit the mountains.

Nice run, aside from the detour home for a pit stop, that added .5.  Perfect morning, now I've got to psych myself up for a possible TM run tomorrow.

Worm dodging this morning, good run and a pretty nice morning besides the overcast skies and rain for the last 2.5.  Decided to do a good tempo when it started raining, felt good.

Great run this morning and I was happy with my effort.  Ran fairly hard from the start and kept it going for the entire run.  Ended up finishing in 1:24 and that included a couple of stops at traffic lights and a drink break.

Went out for an easy 2 with my wife and then added another 3 to try out my new shoes.  Very nice, I like them already.

Good run today, just cruising along.  Started out chilly at 38 then the sun came up and it quickly warmed up and I was slightly overdressed.  

Raining pretty good outside this morning, so after 15-20 minutes of talking myself into it I hit the TM.  Set it at 7 and tried to put my blinders on, got lucky and the latest Pirates movie was on so that kept me a little distracted.

Good run today but I was tired, didn't sleep real well last night.  Today was a bookend run of sorts.  It was a light sprinkle for the first 2 miles and a light rain for the last 2 miles.

Rainy, worm dodging run today.  Rain let up after about 3 miles so not too bad.  Felt good today even though I'm fairly tired, I think I'm mentally tired and physically ok this week.

Great run this morning, went out and just ran at a relaxed medium pace today.  Pretty uneventful otherwise, just like I like it.

3 easy with my wife on a perfect morning.  Nice to get out.

Plan was for 12 this morning but it was so nice out that I added 2.  Now my legs are a little tired but a good run.

Good run on a great morning.  Legs felt heavy and tired from the sweat fest yesterday.  Great running song, Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes, played today on the old iPod.

Great run on a perfect morning.  Temps where just right and there was a coolish breeze.  Felt great today and hit a good pace for the entire run.

I drug my butt through the run today on tired legs.  Glad I got out though, kinda uneventful otherwise.  Ended up doing a little bit of a tempo for the last half, didn't consciously think about it just ended up that way.  The whole tired legs theory kinda goes out the window knowing that but they're tired.

Great run this morning, felt as good as I've felt all week.  I don't want to admit it but the colder morning probably had a lot to do with that.

I think I've found the worst part of running for me....garbage day on a warm morning with garbage trucks.  I almost threw up yesterday morning.

2 easy with my wife about 6:30 before The Killing started.  What a great evening for a run and even better with her.

It's every other Monday Half Marathon day.  Nice morning and a great run today.  Pretty uneventful this morning = perfect.

PM - 2 easy with my wife before dinner.  Homemade Chicken Tacos....Yummy! 

Nice cruiser this morning after the rain.  I saw 3 other runners this morning which is odd for me, one lady had a jogging stroller and a dog I'm not sure how well that worked out.  At least she was out running.

Great run on a perfect morning.  Saw 4 other runners, must be Spring now if I'm seeing other runners.  I actually passed the only one that was headed the same direction.

3rd day in a row now that the same woodpecker has been on the same light pole pecking away when I run by, we must be on the same schedule.  Got to my turn around point and I seen another runner coming my way about .1 away.  I decided not to get passed, I'm not sure how fast he was going, so I hit a pretty hard tempo for the last half, felt good today.  Didn't look back and didn't get passed.

No woodpecker today but I did scare some quails out of the flowers by my driveway when I got home. 

Awesome run, I really felt good today.  Plan was for an easy effort run today, which I did.  The easy effort ended up being my fastest average pace run of the week and on top of that it was Friday I'm supposed to be tired today.  Wish every run could be like today's.

3 easy with my wife this afternoon.  Great run!

Good run in the wind this morning.  The wind was really kinda swirling coming from the West, Northwest, Northeast a little crazy but still a nice morning.

Great morning for a nice run today.  My hands got a little cold for the first couple of miles but not too bad.  Just the time of year, you kinda have to be ready for when the sun comes out and it warms up fast.

Drug myself through a very tired run this morning.  2 good things: 

1) I ran a good distance even though I was tired. I like these runs in a way because I think it helps in the future or during races when you get tired knowing you can push through it.

2) I had a really great effort for being tired today.

Good run this morning even though I only had about 5.5 hours of sleep.  Went to bed and my brain was going 100mph, I hate when that happens.

10 easy miles today that turned out to be not so easy but easy enough pace wise.  A little cold this morning at 39, I had to wear my light gloves.  What's up with that?

Half Marathon Monday...apparently, great morning and a good run if only my body would have felt the same way.  Got to 6-7 miles and I was done.  Managed to finish but now I'm sitting at work and I feel like I want to take a nap.  Plus some kind of pollen kicked in yesterday or today and my nose is running non-stop and my eyes are watery.

Easy run today, didn't push anything just tried to run nice and relaxed.

Good hard run today, didn't feel real well but the run was good.  I think the heat and allergies made me not feel good.  Must have subconciously felt like a hard run because I started out at a good pace for me and just went with it.

Decided to do my Friday 10 miler today since it may rain tomorrow and if I have to run on the TM I'd rather be tortured for 8.5 versus 10.  Good run this morning pretty uneventful just cruisin along.

Yahoo!  Rain held off until about 20-30 mintues after I got done and then it broke loose.  Great run this morning felt good.

Warmer and windy this morning, felt like it took me forever to finish today but ended up about normal.  Uneventful this morning and no complaints from me.

Great run today but warm out.  Didn't try to push anything just ran how I felt since my left achilles was a little twingy yesterday.

 PM - 3 easy on a windy but nice afternoon.  Unintended result from trying to turn my wife into a runner is making me realize I really like these afternoon easy jaunts.

Cool morning, kinda wished I had some light gloves for the first mile or so but when I warmed up it was perfect.  Good run today, just out cruisin along.

PM - 3 easy in the wind. 

Tired run this morning, allergies are kickin me again.  I had to wear light gloves for most of my run this morning, what's up with that it's almost June.  2 other runners out this morning, good to see.

PM - 3 easy on a great afternoon after work de-stresser.  No wind, happy day! 

Great morning and a nice run today.  When I got woke up about 2-3AM by the howling wind I thought it was going to be a TM day but the wind died out and anytime I don't have to run on the TM is a good day.  Last 2 miles I stepped it up and ran really hard, felt good.

Perfect morning for a great run.  No traffic because of the holiday made it even better.  Ran 13.1 and when I got home my wife wanted to go out so I went for an easy 2 with her.  Now I'm tired but I have the rest of the day to relax and try to talk myself out of mowing the lawn.

Longest run yet in the Altra's, the more I run in them the better I like them. 

Nice uneventful run this morning.  Succeeded in talking myself out of mowing the lawn yesterday so as a result I get to do it tonight.

PM - 2 miles after mowing the lawn.  Awesome evening out there. 

This time of year is great, nice coolish morning.  I even got out later than usual because of some work stuff and it still felt nice.

PM - 3 easy in the very warm afternoon. Nice run, feel good.  Ran across something pretty inspiring, a pretty severely handicapped man, looks like he's paralyzed from the chest down, was mowing his lawn in his wheel chair.  You go man! 

Same old, same old this morning...great run, great effort, great pace.  No complaints, I'd take these workouts everyday.

PM - 3 nice miles easy with my daughter.  Great run. 

Kinda pumped today, first 60 miles in a 5 day span for me.  Felt good today.

What a grinder today, the warm morning really zapped all my energy.  Got through it but I still feel a little zapped.

Nice run this morning with a lot of other runners out, at least compared to normal for me.  Probably 7 or so other runners.  Nice coolish breeze from the west, northwest felt good.  Still not sold on these new shoes yet, hopefully they break in a little better.

Had to run with gloves on this morning, it's June what's up with that.  Aside from the gloves, good run this morning.  Hadn't had a chance to blog it until tonight because today was absolutely crazy at work.

Bad week for afternoon runs, tuesday rain and wind, wednesday working, thursday party so I added 1.5 this moring.  Good run in the nice cool morning.  Decided to be "tough" this morning and not wear gloves.  Interesting weirdness about me...when I don't wear gloves I tend to tuck my thumbs in behind my fingers when I'm not thinking about it I don't do this when I wear gloves.

Another nice uneventful run this morning.  Boring and just how I like it.

Let's call it a restore my sanity run this morning.  After about 35 hours of work on 2 big projects this weekend I needed some sanity.  Alarm went of at 5:30a, I rolled over and went back to sleep until 8:30.  Great run this morning.  I feel jet lagged after the lack of sleep.

PM - 4 easy, more sanity restoration. I've heard that exercise helps with jet lag as well.

Way too tired to get up in the morning. So....I had to take my daughter to the Dr. to finally get her cast removed at 2. Got home and decided to go for a run, WOW!  Not used to the heat.  It was only 85 but at 3PM on hot pavement this wiped me out.  Got home and had to help my wife mow the lawn, that took about 1:15 because we have a big yard.  I was useless for the rest of the night.

Made myself get up to run in the about perfect 56 degrees vs. 85 yesterday.  Felt much better today and had a great run.  Detoured an extra .5 through Rohmer park to see how the big Lacrosse demonstration for KUTV Channel 2 news was going, my son was helping out as an instructor and was quite excited to be on TV.

Great morning but I didn't have it today.  I'm still tired so this was a real grinder today.  Glad I got out though so let's catagorize this as a character builder.

Good run today a little warmer but nothing like Tuesday afternoons jaunt.  Had to add an extra .5 today to run around some contruction.  Now to try and do absolutely nothing this weekend after working all of last weekend.

Got up and got the lawn mowed and my wife decided she needed a nap...so I went for a nice easy run before it got too hot.  Great to be out.

Very warm outside for a nice death march.  Really wasn't that bad but it was a little too warm for my liking, especially since the sun hit me just after starting at 6:30.

 PM - 1.75 easy down to pickup my car. 

This morning was soooooo much nicer, probably around 20 degrees cooler.  It was a real treat running this morning with the temps around 50.  Great run, except for the shoes.  The more I run in these the worse it seems to get.

Good run this morning although I was thinking while running that I seemed kinda slow today.  Got home and noticed the time and that I ran a much better pace than I thought so that was a good surprise. 

Detour through Rohmer park again to see how my daughters soccer conditioning was going. 

Great run today I really felt good today.  Pretty uneventful otherwise, other than a lot of bike riders out this morning.

Ginder today, warm, warm south wind, and smoky.  Next to freezing wind, freezing temps some of my least favorite running conditions.  Glad I got out but I'm glad it's done.  Taking today off work so now to enjoy the day hanging with my wife.

Very thankful for the clouds this morning.  It was very warm and windy and the clouds saved me from a very tough run.  I was shaded for about 80% of the run today which was much better than running in the sun when it was 80 degrees at 6:45 this morning.

Didn't sleep well, weird dreams, and woke up with a headache.  It was 80 outside with a stiff warm southern breeze.  If that doesn't spell day off I don't know what does.

Much better night and a perfect morning.  Great run felt refreshing today with temps around 55.  Quite a change from the 80 yesterday.  Added the extra .5 through Rohmer park while my daughter was at Soccer conditioning.

Stupid smoke!  Good run today aside from the smoke pretty uneventful.  After yesterday I guess the days of the cool spring runs are over and now for the hot summer mornings.

New route today, yahoo!  I found a nice loop today instead of my normal out and back.  I ran up Washington Terrace and then down the Adams Ave. Parkway into South Weber, west on South Weber Drive(a little sketchy this road has NO shoulder) into Riverdale, onto River Drive, Riverdale Road over the viaduct and then back up 300W into Washington Terrace.  The only bad thing about this is the big hill back up into Washington Terrace at 10 miles into my run.  Wasn't real easy but not as hard as I thought it would be.

Half Marathon Monday, Yeah!  Except today because I knew right off I wasn't feeling it today.  Got through the run ok, this is one of those runs that I can look back on and know I can do 13 no matter how I feel.  Really started to get hot outside with about 4.5 to go so I trudged home.  Got home and ran the hose on my legs for a little bit, felt good.

Hot, windy, tough miles today.  It was between 75 and 80 with a pretty warm strong wind blowing from the south.  Not sure why but once it gets above 70 especially with a warm wind that really wipes me out.

Easy miles on a warm morning.  Headed up to Island Park for the rest of the week, booyah!

Awesome run this morning in the coolness in Island Park.  Took a couple of miles to feel completely normal at altitude but no trouble.

Another awesome run up in Island Park. 

Back home in the heat.  Good run today I felt really good, could be coming back from running at altitude but I'll take it.  Ran the South Weber loop with the Joe's Pizza extension.

Trudging through the run today.  Very tired today but it was nice to get out and now I need a nap which I won't get.

Broken record time, the warm mornings are tough on me this year.  I seem to be having a hard time acclimating to the warmer mornings.

Feeling a little better today and had a pretty good run.  Added .5 just before home to make it 9 even this morning.

Out at 5 am so I could get my daughter up to Logan by 8:15 for a soccer game.  Hot, windy, and very smoky this morning.  There's not much worse for running.  It was 75 at 5 am and it's soooooo smoky I think I smoked 2-3 packs today, what's up with that.

Good run today, lots of clouds and even some light rain.  Ran down through South Weber again, that's a nice run.  At one spot probably 10+ miles in there's an automated radar sign that picked me up at 8 MPH, not too shabby for me especially since I'd forgotten about it and was just running without thinking about pace.

New shoe Tuesday.  I love new shoes, especially Kinvara's.  Great run on a cooler morning, uneventful today just out running.

Good run again and a decent ave. pace today.  I must have seen 10-15 other runners today which is really kind of rare for me, I usually see more bikers and walkers.  It was good to see so many other runners out.

Good run today although my legs feel a little tired.  Not really sure why but it is what it is.  Pretty uneventful run on a great morning.  Off to watch my daughter play soccer.

Up a little early so I could get more 'shade' time running, meaning more running before the sun came up.  Great run this morning.  Now I'm off to Roatan to dive for a week....

Back from a week of fabulous diving in Roatan Honduras.  One of the awesome dives we had...we were at about 85 ft and there was a 6-7 ft Nurse Shark napping on a ledge on the wall so we were taking a look and a 3ft Barracuda decided to join the group and stopped in the middle of us staring us down.  I could have reach out and grabbed it.  I was just starting to wonder who was on the menu when the dive master chased it off.

Took the week off from running on purpose to give myself a little break.  Back to the real world.  A little nervous about how I'd do this morning I haven't had a full 9 days off running in over 14 years.  Didn't push anything and had a pretty good run, it started to get hot around 8 or so miles and that made it a little tough but I got through it.  My wind was great no problems there, that's what was really worrying me.  Back to work tomorrow. 

Back to the grind, day 2.  Legs slightly sore from yesterday but not too bad.  Still trying to get back to a normal schedule.  Good run today started to feel better about 8 miles in or so.

Good run today after not running yesterday.  Just overall exhausted yesterday so I slept in.  What's with this summer and the warm mornings.  Pushing 80 again this morning before the sun was up, the roads are still warm at those temps makes my feet hot.  I've now determined that the higher the temps get above 75 the slower I run, not that I'm fast anyway.

A little cooler this morning made for a really nice run.  Didn't hurt that I had to be out the door a little early so I was 7+ miles in before the sun came up.  Aside from 2 dogs being loose at about 8 miles in, I have to thank the cat and other runner that came along to distract them, pretty uneventful today.

Nice easy run this morning when I woke up at 6:30.  A runners curse is waking up early on a Saturday without an alarm.

Just watched Galen Rupp win silver in the 10K, AWESOME! 

Grinder down through South Weber this morning because it was pretty warm this morning.  Good run otherwise.  I wish I could adjust to the heat better.  Same dog loose at the same spot as Friday today, hopefully this won't continue.

Great run today but a really weird morning.  Looking at the mountains it looks smoky but I couldn't smell any smoke so that was good.  The sun coming up was really red this morning through all the smoke by the mountains.  It made for a really cool redish light this morning.

I added the Rohmer park extension for an extra .5 this morning.

Good but slightly uncomfortable run today because I had to make a pit stop from about mile 3.5 on without anywhere to make a pit stop.  3 dogs out today, including my neighbors, hopefully it didn't crap on my lawn.  None of the dogs bothered me though so that was good.

Warm and humid today made for a big sweatfest.  I was a sweaty dude today.  Great run otherwise I really felt good today and had a really good effort.  To make it even better some well placed clouds gave me shade for about 8 miles.

Nice run down through South Weber this morning.  Nice morning because the cloud cover giving me lots of shade.  Legs started feeling it a little bit running up 300 W, the hill from Riverdale Rd. back up into Washington Terrace for the last .5.

Half Marathon Monday and a nice run this morning, although I had to add .5 for a detour back home at 3 miles or so.  Clouds around the mountains kept the direct sunlight off me for around 9 miles.  I must be chaneling Ryan Hall a little because I had some tightness in my hamstring this morning so I took it a little easy.

Drug my tired butt through a run today.  I was just slogging along, glad I got out though.

Better run this morning, I wasn't so tired.  Plus it was a little cooler at around 67, it felt good.  I think I seen 5 other runners out this morning, it's getting too crowded on my route with that many other runners.

Good morning, felt tired but the run today was a really good effort so I think that's why I was tired.  Pretty smoky out although I can smell or taste it, hopefully it clears out soon.

Nice run down, took my South Weber route this morning.  Good choice, it was noticably cooler at the bottom of the hill with a slight breeze and it felt good.  My legs felt it running up 300 W into Washington Terrace for the last .5 though.

An I haven't seen this before note, some people on South Weber drive are growing Egg Plants in their garden.  I bet they have at least 30 plants.

Nice run down through South Weber.  This run is a really good change of pace for me.  A little worried because my back and hip were a little sore from helping my son change his brakes and rotors yesterday afternoon but no problem running. 

Really nice run today aside from the smoke.  Normal walkers and a couple of new runners out this morning.  Took the Rohmer park extension for  the extra .5 today.  Uneventful run today, no complaints.   Enjoying a nice bowl of oatmeal now...mmm tasty.

Warm and muggy today but the smoke is gone, YAHOO!  Back to high traffic days as school started.  I had to wait everytime I had to cross a street, blah blah blah!  Run seemed to take FOREVER today, what's up with that?

What a great morning and a really good run.  I was cruising along today and I didn't have to stop for traffic either.

Another nice run down through South Weber and then back up into Washington Terrace.  Seems like the smoke is back though...not good.  Dead animal total on the road today:  cat, deer, racoon, skunk, and bird.  I didn't notice any of these on Monday when I ran through so not a good week down in South Weber for animals.

Very nice run this morning that was pretty uneventful other than a .5 detour home at about 4.5 miles for a potty break.  Felt warm this morning after being in Yellowstone this weekend fishing.  Awesome fishing trip catching yellowstone cuts.  We were up around Ashton, and I kinda had the urge to run in the Mesa Falls half but the fishing was much more fun.

Nice cruiser this morning, ended up pushing the pace a little.

10 easy miles today because it was very hot this morning.  80 degrees at 6 AM on August 29th is hot.  After running a little hard yesterday I decided to take it a little easy today.  Good run altogether.

Forgot I was supposed to get up a little early for an appointment at my daughters school. So, I ended up running an 8.5 mile tempo today.  The pace felt pretty hard but maintainable, which was great.  Made it to the appointment a couple of minutes late so overall it worked out and I got a good tempo in for the week.

Nice run down through South Weber this morning.  Felt ok after the big tempo yesterday but didn't really push it today.  A guy getting his mail asked me if I was having fun yet.  Funny question, I answered 'heck, yeah'.  I think he thought I was kidding because he laughed. 

Allergies are killing me the last couple of weeks, looking at the pollen counts looks like it's chenopods that are doing it to me.

Nice month for me, 230 miles.  That's definately in my top 5.

Great run with my daughter up in Island Park.  The temp was amazing after running in the heat all summer.  Had to dodge some cows but other than that a nice cruiser.

Another great run up in Island Park with the nice cool temps.  What a treat to run up there in the nice scenery and have the great temps.  Had some absolute great overlooks of Henry's Lake and of course more cow dodging.  You never know what they're going to do, I've never had any problems with them.  They just stare at you chewing their grass.

Nice run this morning back home.  Aside from all the school traffic pretty uneventful.  Legs felt a little tired today.

Took a 3 mile brisk walk with my wife on Saturday and ever since my shins have been a little tight.  Whatever...so I was a little worried about the run this morning but alls well and I had a great run on a perfect morning.

Up really early so I could get down to SLC for an Oracle users group thing.  Soooo I was a little tired during the run this morning in the dark.  I felt clunky and slow today on tired legs.  Good to get this one done.

Nice run down through South Weber on a perfectly cool morning.  Wow it felt great out today.  Legs still a little tired, ready for a couple of days off this weekend.

Really warm and a little humid out today.  So not the best of runs but no complaints.  This Monday potty stop thing needs to stop though, .5 detour back home.

1st 4.25 of the run went great no problems.  Took a small drink break, turned around and started running.  Immediately felt like I got hit in the back right below my shoulder blades on both sides.  It really hurt and I had a hard time even breathing.  Tried to run through it but only made it to 5.5 and I had to call my daughter to come pick me up.  I couldn't run, now I'm really bummed.  Doctor said it's a muscle strain, so I guess it could have been worse but I think I'm taking the rest of the week off.

Getting a little stir crazy so I decided to try an easy run on the TM this morning.  No problems and my back feels good.  I'm going to try and take it easy so I don't re-injure myself.

After yesterday's run I decided to go outside for an easy one today.  Great run on a nice morning with no back issues.

Great run on a perfect morning down through South Weber.  A little worried that my back issue would pop up again but alls well.  I was talking to some biking friends the other day and they were complaining how its too cold in the mornings to ride now.  It's about perfect for runners.  Now to enjoy some chocolate milk.

With the horrid smoky air outside, weatherman says its a red air day.  I decided to hit the TM today.  I'd forgotten what a mental test that is.  Grinded through the run watching some Flight of the Conchords and some Hangover 2.  Even with something decent on TV this was still mentally tough. 

Now I just feel off like somethings not right, I'm not hurt or anything just not sure whats up.

Enough of the smoke cleared so that I could see the mountains and drop it to a yellow air alert day so I hit it outside.  Nice run with great temps.  Good effort and a nice pace today.  I feel much better today after yesterday's TM run.

Great run this morning, didn't worry about anything but being outside.  Just a run to enjoy running and the nice weather.

Another great run down through South Weber.  I'm just running not thinking about pace and trying to keep my form as good as it gets.

PM - After dinner 4.7 miles easy, what a nice evening. 

The smoke is gone and it was a great morning for a run.  It's supposed to rain but it held off was well.  Nice run today and pretty uneventful so pretty perfect.  Now I get a little recovery chocolate milk, it's as good an excuse as any for some chocolate milk.

Rainy and dark this morning.  Light rain for the first 5 miles then it picked up for the next 2.5 and then the last 1 was a really light sprinkle.  Not too bad this morning and I had a good run aside from being wet.

Very tired this morning but got up and out the door for a good run today.  It's so nice running this time of year especially knowing what's coming.

Ahhhh Fall.  Nice uneventful run this morning.  Just cruisin today.

Another great run down through South Weber.  Temps great, I could see my breath at about 8.5 in behind the Wal-Mart in Riverdale by the river.  First time in a while for that.  Felt as good as I've felt all week just in time for the weekend.

Nice run down through South Weber.  I felt really good today but I just had 2 days of laziness so that could be expected.  I did mow the lawn yesterday so not complete laziness and it takes me about 1.5 hours to mow.  Since I felt good coming up to the top of 300 W in Riverdale I added a .75 cool down loop.

Another great run on a nice morning.  Lots of people out this morning, mostly walkers up in South Ogden.  Pretty uneventful run otherwise.

Another great run this morning, felt really good today.  Tempo'd the last 4.5 or so.

Brrrr, cold this morning at 39 and not many people out either.  It was hard to get out the door but once out it's never as bad as you think it's going to be.  This makes the second morning in a row that I seen a rabbit loose in my neighborhood, it must be somebody's pet.  Good run and a good pace this morning.

In the what's up with that catagory my left shoe came untied 3 times today.

Cold but really good run down through South Weber today.  Awesome sunrise through Weber Canyon while in South Weber.  Both shoes came untied today, it must be the cold...stupid cold.  Pretty uneventfull otherwise and no rabbit sighting today.

Nice Columbus day cruiser, a little cool but not too bad.  My goal was a nice comfortable pace and I ended up hitting around 1:53 for the entire run.  Pretty happy with the overall pace today.  I didn't see anybody else out today just me, kinda surprised.

Nice run on a slightly warmer morning.  I didn't really try but I ended up tempoing the last half today I must have felt pretty good.  The usuals were out this morning good to see.  Pretty uneventful otherwise.  For the first time in the last 3 days my shoes stayed tied.

Nice run this morning, although it isn't getting any easier to get out the door into the cold.  Once out I don't have a problem.  Tried and was successful in not pushing any pace today just staying relaxed and easy.

Didn't sleep really well last night and I was really tired getting out the door so I didn't expect much.  Surprise...I had a great run today at a really good pace for me.  I wasn't thinking pace at all just running.

Nice easy jaunt down through South Weber again this morning.  Looks like this is my go to run for Friday anymore.  Hopefully I can run it in the winter but I'm not sure, South Weber Drive has absolutely no shoulder so it's kinda iffy as is without snow.  Color Vibe 5k tomorrow with my daughter, I hope it's ok I'm not too excited about getting stuff thrown at me.

ColorVibe 5K in Ogden this morning.  This is a fun run by any definition, no timing, no clocks lots of walkers and kids.  My daughter and I had a good time and we ran a pretty good pace on a fairly tough course.  I didn't time it but we were probably around 24-26 minutes.  4 color stations during the run where they throw colored powder at you.  Your a mess by the end.  Good times today. 

Great run today, pretty uneventful though so not much to say.  Had to stop a couple of times to deal with work alerts but when I'm down in South Weber not much I can do until I get home.

A little windy and got some light rain for the last mile or so but overall nice run this morning.  Pretty warm made it easy to wear shorts and short sleeve shirt, I'm trying to hold on as long as possible.

10 cold miles this morning, first morning of the season that I broke out the long sleeve Under Armor shirt.  Still working the shorts though.  Otherwise an uneventful nice run.

Good, cold run today.  Ended up doing a tempo for the 2nd half felt good.  'Ball and Biscuit' from the White Stripes came up today on the random play.  Great, great song.  If you like blues/rock you can't go wrong.

Nice windy run down through South Weber this morning.  Saw 5 deer this morning, I stopped about 10 ft from one that was going to cross the street as a car was coming so it wouldn't jump in front of the car.

Turned to look for a car at one point and tweaked my back slightly, same thing that cost me 3 running days a few weeks ago but luckily this time not as bad.  I'll have to be careful about how I turn to look for cars.

TM run today, what's up with that.  Torture time watching part of Megamind.  I had to be available for work this morning so I had to stay close to a computer and therefore run on the Torture....TreadMill.  Blah Blah Blah

I was soooo close to staying in bed this moring, but I didn't.  It was raining pretty good and the wind was blowing so I opted for the TM.  So that means the run was blah blah blah yada yada yada.  Came upstairs to snow after finishing so more blah blah blah.

Ahhh...back outside for a nice run this morning in a light snow shower.  Felt good today just cruisin along.

Crappy run today here are the reasons:

1) At least an inch of snow covered slush everywhere

2) My feet were wet by the end of my drive way starting out

3) Slow going I had to run in the tire tracks and stop and dodge off the side of the road when a car was coming so I didn't get splashed by a wall of slush

4) Heavy snow to start, light snow at about 5 miles in, hail at about 6.5 miles in

5) My toes were freezing especially with 2.5 miles to go

6) These are the lengths that I'll go to avoid a run on a TM.

On the positive side, I just passed my mileage total for last year.

December, January, and February mornings have nothing on today.  23 degrees with snow on the ground.  I was in full winter mode, hat, gloves, 3 shirts, tights, and long pants.  Holy cow I'm not ready for this cold yet.  My nose wouldn't stop running it was driving me nuts today.  Other than that it was a good run this morning and much better than yesterday.

Nice morning, especially compared to last Thursday and Friday.  So aside from the fact that our Water Heater went out last night it was a good run this morning.  Hopefully I don't ever have to come back from a run to that again.  I seen the rabbit running around our neighborhood again this morning.

Tired run but a good run today.  It was everything I could do to get out the door.  After cleaning up yesterday and getting a new water heater I got bored and decided to mow the lawn.  That took me about 2 hours and my legs were pretty tired after that.

Tired again today, woke up at 1:30 and had a hard time getting back to sleep.  Anyway good run aside from being tired to top off another good month.  Chili and scones tonight for Halloween that's my trick or treat, yummy!

Didn't sleep really well again last night, I need a good one tonight.  Aside from that, what an awesome morning especially for the 1st of Nov.  Short sleeve shirt and shorts and I felt good enough, surprise, to add 2.5 miles to my normal 8.5 today.

Completely wiped today both pyshically and mentally so why not go 11 miles.  Easy jaunt this morning, plan was for 10 but I talked myself into adding Rohmer park and Joe's Pizza extensions for 11.  Now my legs are complete toast and I need a nap but here I am at work and no nap.  Bummer!

Nice Monday morning run down through South Weber.  Great morning, pretty uneventful otherwise.

The usual Tuesday run up into South Ogden.  Stupid South Ogden Jr. High traffic just makes things difficult.

I decided to run Friday's run today and today's run tomorrow because of the weather on Friday.  That way if I get stuck on the TM I'll only do 8.5.  Great run until about 8.5 then my legs got tired and were pretty hammered by the end.  Feeling ok now so I'm recovering well and I ate a nice bowl of oatmeal so that should help.

And now the end is near....Awesome morning at 50 degrees made for a great run.  A little windy at the top of Washington Terrace but no complaints.  If we're to beleive the weatherman I think the nice fall is done.

Sweatfest today on the TM, then at 4 miles in on the hardest uphill spot the snow killed the reception on my dish....NEAT!  Finished off the 10k went out and cleaned the dish and then reset for the last 2.25.  Good run today, set the speed at 7 and cruised until the last 5 minutes when I clicked it up to 7.2.

Day off so I went for a little longer run today, normal route down through South Weber and then I cut up Ritter Dr in Riverdale, man that is one steep mother.  Across by work and then down 4400 and back to Riverdale road and up 300 W into the Terrace.  Kind of a Rim to Rim to Rim run in Riverdale today.  Legs are tired now.

No run yesterday, I twisted wrong trying to get a drink in bed and hurt my back again.  Ended up trying to sleep in my chair.  So a couple of muscle relaxers, no run yesterday, and a good nights sleep and I feel much better today.

Good run today, just cruisin trying to relax and not hurt myself.  Mission accomplished.

Tired today I was up late, well for me anyway, until around 11:30 with some work problems.  I was able to drag myself out of bed and got out the door.  Good run otherwise and I ended up pushing the last 4 miles pretty good.

What was supposed to be a normal 10 miler turned into a 10 mile tempo this morning.  I wasn't really thinking about anything and got to about 2 miles and noticed that I seemed to be pushing pace, even on the uphill.  So at that point I went for it, I feel really good now and worn out like I should so a good workout today.

Half-marathon Monday on a great November 19th.  Temps in the lower to mid 40's, super nice.  Great run didn't push anything just took it easy today.

Good run today although I don't know how my nose could run anymore that it has the last few weeks.  Anyway I'm cruising down Ridgeline in Washington Terrace and there's a chicken hangin in somebody's front yard.  So over the last month I've seen a rabbit and a chicken just hangin in the neighborhood.

Great run on an awesome morning.  Pretty uneventful otherwise.  Got home and decided to mow the leaves up around the 1 tree I have that is the slowest tree ever to loose it's leaves.  I've mowed it 4 times and it's still got probably half it's leaves to drop.  It's supposed to get windy this afternoon so I thought get them up before they blow everywhere so the wind can blow the rest of the them off the tree and make a mess anyway.

Great morning for a nice run.  Thanksgiving and nobody was out and there wasn't much traffic either made for a quiet run, aside from the 3 loose dogs in the first .5.  They didn't really come after me too aggressive so it's all good.

Cold out this morning but a good run.  Got about 4 miles in and got a call from work so I had to stop for 10-15 minutes and it got really really cold.

So so run today, nothing really to do with the run itself though.  Had to detour home at 2 and 4 miles today for pit stops.  So overall kinda sluggish today because of the starting and stopping going from the warm house to the cold outside.

Good cold run today, pretty uneventful.  I felt slow and clunky today.

Awesome morning, the full moon setting in the west and the colorful sunrise made it worth getting out today.  I ended up over dressing a little, it was 31 at my house but at the top of Washington Terrace it was 42.  Quite a temp jump in 2 miles, ended up pushing up my sleeves and taking my gloves off.  No complaints though...

10 miles on a another great morning.  Felt a little tired but not too bad otherwise pretty uneventful.

Not much sleep last night after getting woke up with a work alert.  Then up early to get to work early.  Tired, tired run this morning made worse by having to detour for a pit stop.  Now I need sleep.

Half marathon Monday and a great run this morning.  I felt great this morning, wanted to add a couple of miles but didn't have time...bummer.

My left hammy got sore yesterday afternoon, kinda weird but oh well.  So this morning it was still a little sore so I told my self no run or take it really easy and come right home if it gets worse.  I took it really easy today and got through 10 without any problems, it feels better today than yesterday but not completely better so mission accomplished.

Down in Anahiem on vacation.  Great run in perfect temps.  Now for a day of Disneyland.

10 more miles in Anaheim.  Perfect weather again.

Last day in Anaheim.  30 miles and 4 days walking around Disneyland since Thursday has wiped my legs out but we had an Awesome time.

Back home and into the cold.  Not too cold this morning but compared to Anaheim....  10 miles in the wind this morning, good run anyway nice to be back home.

Another really nice morning for December.  Great run again, felt better today although still a little fatigue in my legs.  Wasn't too windy starting out but when I got up into South Ogden by the Ogden Athletic club it got really windy and it sprinkled lightly for about 5 minutes.

Good run on a nice morning at 36 degrees, pretty uneventful today.  No wind which made it nice and for some reason no school traffic up in S. Ogden, another plus.

Half marathon monday.  Temp was great but the wind was blah blah blah.  Felt good today, didn't try to push anything with the wind so a nice easy cruiser today.

Colder morning but I'll take it since it was supposed to be snowing and the storm blew by quickly last night.  Felt so so today, just off a little.  Not sure whats up, almost threw up about 3.5 in but pushed through.  Decided to run Wednesday's run today since it's supposed to be much colder tomorrow.  So I'll have a slightly shorter run tomorrow.

Cold and colder today.  North/Northwest wind pushed the 19 degrees down to the lower teens I'm sure.

Brrrrr, super cold this morning especially from 5.5 - 6 by the hospital where I had to run against the wind coming out of the canyon.  Then my shoe came untied and I had to stop and take my gloves off, holy cow it was cold.  Good run otherwise I tempoed the last 3.5 miles and ended up with a good overall pace.  New shoes today and aside from the shoe laces coming untied 2 times they felt great.

Nice run today in a balmy feeling 25 as compared to the last 2 days.  How sad is it that 25 felt warmer.  Just cruisen along today in the quiet morning.

Bored watching the Real Madrid game so I decided to hop on the TM and watch the game instead of snacking and watching the game.  Real easy pace watching Real lose, bummer.

Light rain for the first 6.5-7 miles then it switched over to big fluffy snow flakes.  Temps weren't too bad though so I wore shorts.  The last 4.5 or so I decided to seek out the puddles to see how well the GTX's kept my feet dry.  Worked pretty well today.

Nice Christmas afternoon run between brunch at my Mom's and dinner at my Wife's Mom's.  Felt good to get out in the sun but then a big cloud came along and covered the sun up for about 1/2 my run.

Character builder today, 1-1.5 inches of snow on the roads and snowing fairly hard when I started and 2-2.5 inches and still snowing by the time I got home.  Good test for the GTX's and my feet stayed dry.  What's up with the snow plows driving around this morning with their plows up?  It wasn't like there was a lack of snow on the road.

Still snowing this morning, that's more than 24 Hrs of non-stop snow.  One of the slowest, hardest runs I can remember.  There was 4-5 inches of snow on the roads and it was like running on sand.  All I have to say is I'm glad this ones over.

Ok, UNCLE. We've had enough snow.  Snowing again this morning with 1-1.5 inches on the road.  Talked myself into running, by threating myself with a TM run.  I think I've decided that Washington Terrace is the worst for keeping their roads plowed.  Slow, tough run again this morning but I'm glad I got it done.

4th day in a row for snow.  Snowed for 9+ miles today in 17 degrees.  Pretty good run otherwise and the snow was light.
