The Dude abides...

TM...had to switch shoes because the Altra's were definately hurting my foot.

TM time again, still taking it easy.

TM again.

Another roll on the TM...

Decided to try an outside run to see how my foot would respond.  Picked a good day because the slushy, icy roads made it so I had to take it real easy.  Felt great to get outside, plan was for 3-4 but I felt pretty good so I went a bit further.

Trying to get back to running again.  Foot still feels good, trying not to re-injure myself.  Again it's soooo nice to get outside after almost 2 weeks of TM.

Was going to rest my foot today...yeah.  Felt like a good sweat so I hopped on the TM.  Good sweat achieved.

Brrr....what the crap.  Cold today, I guess we had to have January at some point.

TM time again...blah.  Need some clean air.

Awesome morning run with Kels from princeville to Hanalei in Kauai. It's so nice to be out of the cold.

Another great run in Princeville to the Hanalei Bay overlook with Kels.

Gonna miss this....another awesome morning run in Kauai...

Back home...good run outside in not too cold temps this morning.

Cold and icy out this morning.  Good run, taking it easy trying not to fall.

Wow...it must be January.  Colder today and get to the top of Washington Terrace and the wind hits me and even colder.

I hate inversions....my toes were cold the whole time.

Icy, Icy and more icy this morning.  Trudging through the winter blah....

Stupid cold and very windy this morning...which means onto the TM.  Blah Blah Blah, got it done.

-5 wind chill....WTH.  I wimped and ran on the boring TM.  Had to cut it a little short due to early meeting at work.

Almost didn't get this one in, slept in and pretty much wrote it off.  Then for some reason I got up and ran.

Couldn't muster a TM run this morning with the fridgid snow outside.  I talked myself into one by the time work got over so when I got home I tortured myself on the TM.  Spring can't come fast enough for me this year.

Another afterwork TM toil...blah

Easy, peasy TM break up the boredome Sunday run.  Had some rolls cooking so I had to stay close.

Feels good to get back to a double digit run...been too long.  I'm happy my foot seems to be ok now.

Trying to get some consistancy back...it's hard this winter.

So glad I got out the door this morning even though it was cold cold cold against the wind up in South Ogden.

No run yesterday, I was up late working until 12:30 and then again at 4.

Tired legs today, they were dragging and I felt slow but turns out I was 4 minutes faster than Monday and Wednesday on the same route.  Yay!

Sweet grinder up to Malan's this morning.  It was sooooo nice to get out of this gunk, I kinda forgot that there is blue sky up there.

After spraining my ankle 3 times in the last mile of Saturday's run I had to take some time.  Nice easy cruiser on the Riverdale parkway with Brandon and Ben.

This felt hard the entire time, now I'm dragginggggggg.

Great run on the Ogden Parkway from 21st St. pond west with the old gang....Brandon, Ben, and Dave.  Great to get out with those guys again.

Nice morning out today, felt much better than Friday which is good.  Started snowing with about 2.5 left so no prob.

After work easy around home.

A little cold this morning...come on spring.  Other wise just nice to be out, the sunrise was pretty nice this morning.

Dead legs and tired today.  I think I had negative Zip today but I expected that after donating blood yesterday afternoon.  For me that always makes my next 1-2 runs tougher.

Pretty nice morning, I wore shorts.  Good run, felt tired again but this ended up being the fastest 10 mile run of the week by a couple of minutes.  Which means apparently I've been dogging it until today.

Nice run east on the Ogden river parkway from 21st St. pond this morning with Ben, Brett, and Brandon.

In a quandry this morning.  My body says I'm tired need rest, my brain says you've had 2 days rest go run.  So I ran but my body kinda won out on this one and I was dragging today but still glad I got out on a great morning.  At least I didn't get injured...

Running, running, running...almost slept in too much this morning but I made it out.

Still running trying to get it back although I don't think I ever had it.  This was the type of Spring morning I've been waiting all winter for, awesome out this morning.

Nice run on the Riverdale parkway after work with Brandon and Brett.  It was really nice out there tonight.

Nice run early this morning from 21st st pond west with Brandon and Brett.

Running and worm dodging this morning.  I don't know that I've ever seen that many worms on the road.

Chilly, chilly this morning.  Stuck to shorts though for a nice run.  Did my loop around/through Washington Terrace today.

Different route today, ran down 300W to Riverdale Rd. south to the Riverdale Parkway.  North on the Parkway to the Ft. Bueneventura bridge and then back home.  That leaves 300W back up into Washington Terrace for the 10th mile.  Good workout today.

Great after work run on the Riverdale parkway into Ogden with Brandon in the snow.

Dark....cold....Washington Terrace loop.  I want Spring back.

Buffalo 25k is Saturday so goal today was relaxed and easy.

Buffalo 25K today.  Didn't feel quite prepared but I took it easy and got it done.  Perfect day out on the island and a great race.  Added bonus...I didn't fall, sprain my ankle so even better.

Back at it after a few days rest following Saturday.  Felt good this morning.

Awesome afternooon on the Ogden Parkway from 21st St pond to Rainbows and back.  Lots of traffic up by the Dino park for the Easter egg hunt.  Good time out with Brett, Ben, and Brandon the Saturday crew.

After work slog in the cold snow/rain mix.  I think I'd call it a light slush coming down tonight.

Run started out good then it started raining about 3.75 miles in, switched to snow about 6 miles in and then stopped with 1 mile to go.  So I was fairly wet and cold and now tired.

The sun actually came out and it looked nice out so I went out for an afterwork easy peasy run.

Holy crap I was tired this morning.  I was able to blast myself out of bed, good thing because I'm glad I got out.  The rain had stopped and it was a nice morning although overcast.  Hopefully the sun, I think that's what it's called, will come out soon.

Ahh Saturday morning in the Spring..very nice.  Same run as last week starting at 21st st. pond, 1 lap around and then up to Rainbow Gardens and back.  That's a good 4 mile pretty constant uphill.  Had to do it without my buddies this morning, stupid kids soccer games. ;)

Today on the Parkway was even better than yesterday, what a great morning.  Started at the Botanical Garden and ran west to I-15 and back with Brandon and Ben.  Great run.

Had a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday so it was nice and easy on the Riverdale parkway from the Riverdale City Offices south to the bridge and back with Brandon.  Super nice out tonight.

Very warm for an afterwork cruiser from pig farm south with Brandon.  Still a great time and good to be out.

Warm and very windy this morning.  Ran up Washington Terrace, down Adams Ave. Parkway, along the Riverdale parkway, back over Riverdale Rd. and then up 300 W into Washington Terrace.  Good run, felt ok today.

Great morning, run started at Brandon's house in North Ogden and ended up at Dylan's on 12th and Monroe in Ogden.

Long easy cruiser this morning.  Super nice out no complaints.

Some Ogden Half training on the Riverdale parkway last night in a downpour.  The training was the rain not the running..haha...  Got soaking wet, not my favorite run but glad to get out with Brandon, Brett, and Sally.

Freaking snowing outside this morning....I ran on the treadmill watched Saving Silverman.  At least the movie was good, the TM was not.

Nice run this morning even though it was freakin early and cool and windy. Good time going from North Ogden down to Dylans on 12 and Monroe with Scott, Brett, and Brandon.

Great afterwork run from Pig farm north on the Riverdale Parkway with Brandon.

Nice longer run this morning, weather was perfect and it was great to get out.

Another great morning, gotta love spring.  Had to re-tie my right shoe 2 times today, whatever.  Good run otherwise felt tired but good overall pace today.

Dead legs and tired today so one of those character building grinders.  Still good to get out though.

Really great run today from 21st St. pond west into the West Haven/Taylor area.  Good times with Ben, Brandon, and Brett.  Plus it didn't start sprinkling until we had about .5 left, BONUS.

Nice run, had to get out early to be to work early for a meeting.  But I beat the rain so no complaints although I am a little tired.

Nice run on a coolish morning, cruising along nothing out of the ordinary today.

Nice run down 300 W, south on Riverdale Rd. and then north on the Riverdale Parkway to the Ft. Bueneventura bridge and back.  Tough going in the 10th mile back up 300 W into the Terrace but a good workout and no rain.

Legs were hammered today so goal was easy peasy effort and I'm happy to say I reached that goal with flying colors.

Saturday morning with the boys...started at Douglas St. trailhead above Harrison probably about 5th street.  Ran south on the canal trail to the top of the Ogden canyon waterfall and then back down to the Ogden river parkway west past 21st st. pond and then back to the pond to finish up.  Tired legs today but a great time with Brandon, Brett, and Alan.

Cuiser in the warmth from pig farm south on Riverdale Parkway.

Tired, lazy, sleepy this morning soooo nice cruiser from pig farm with Brandon after work.

Tired this morning and my brain wasn't working quite right.  I meant to run between 10-11 and miscalculated slightly.

Saturday morning with the boys.  Nice run mostly on the canal trail from N. Ogden to Rainbow Gardens and then finished it off down the Ogden Parkway.  Thanks Brandon, Ben, Brett, and Scott.

Cruisin on a coolish morning.  Nice morning, nice run.

What a great morning to be out and about.  Nice run, thought I'd see how I felt if I did 2 10 milers in a row.  So far so good, although when I got up this morning I thought no way.

Another perfect morning for a really nice run.  Great to be out this morning.

Nice run in North Ogden along canal trail to the elk and then down to Pleasant View drive back to Lee's.  A little early but a good run and nice to get out with Ben, Brett, and Brandon.

Perfect morning for a nice pre-half marathon almost half...

Easy peasy effort today up and around Washington Terrace.

Ogden half marathon this morning and once again running in Noah's Arc type rain, especially in the canyon.  Good run but kinda dampened by the rain.

Supposed to be a nice recovery run following the half on Saturday but...it was really windy so running up hill into a pretty good wind made it harder that it was supposed to be.

Late run with Janell, she's training to do the Deseret News 10K.

Really a nice morning out, felt good today cruisin along.  Ran kinda hard today for some reason, didn't think about it just turned out that way.

Easy effort on a great morning.  My legs are a little tired.

Perfect run up Wheelers and down Icebox this morning.  I felt really good today and it was great to be out.  I extened just a touch at the top to the road and back to the Art Nord trail.

Afternoon heatfest on the BST above Weber State.  Started at the trailhead on Skyline and ran up to the upper part of the BST toward Bues canyon(I think) then went North almost to Adams canyon then back.  Too hot for me and I didn't think I'd need water...I was wrong.

Nice cruiser on a warmish morning.  Started out good temp wise but warmed up quick.  Looks like summer is here.

A little limited on time today so I got out early for a nice run.

Cuisin along on a warmish morning.

Grinder, sweatfest today.  One of those tough run days.  Probably didn't help that I planned 6 and talked myself into 8 once I started.

Another grinder sweatfest in the heat.

Got out earlier today to try and beat the sun.  Made it about 3 miles so that helped but it got hot pretty quickly after that.

Nice morning run from North Ogden Divide to Lewis Peak dodging motorcycles this morning.  I bet there was 40-50 motorcycles during my run...plus they've almost ruined the trail.  Not a fan of dirt bikes on that trail but I guess you couldn't tell.

Nice run this morning, temps were great.  Got a little warm down on the Riverdale Parkway right after the bridge but it's all good today.  My 9th, 10th, 11th miles felt much better than my 1st, 2nd, 3rd for sure.

Great morning out today, felt good cuisin along.

Tired today and it felt really slow but it was a perfect morning and I'm glad I got out.

Another cruiser on a nice morning.  Not as tired as yesterday but my legs got a little heavy with 2.5 to go.

Awesome run on an absolutely perfect morning up Wheeler Canyon around up there and down Icebox with Brandon, Ben, and Chad.

Got out early to try and beat some of the heat, made it about 4 miles before the sun caught me.  Holy crap this was tough today, it was everything I could do to get through this and it was warm.  Wish I could sleep for a bit but now I'm at work.

Pretty freakin warm out this morning at 5:50 when I started.  Not sure why but the heat is killin me this year.  Glad I got out but a little bit of a grinder today.

Nice easy cruiser this morning in slightly cooler temps.

Super awesome Wheelers/Snow Basin Road/Middle Fork/Icebox loop this moring with Brett, Brandon, Ben, and Chad.

Looking at the temps this week, I decided to take advantage of the coolest morning of the week for a longer run.  Got out early and the sun didn't catch me until a little over 7 miles in so that was nice and definately made a difference.  Good run today.

Met Brandon, Ben, Brett, and Alan at 21st St. pond this morning for a nice jaunt south toward Riverdale and back.  Good to get down there to mix up the normal routine and have nice run with friends.

Had such a good run the other day at the pond decided to hit it again today.  Met Brett and Brandon at 21st St. pond.  My plan was 8-9 running east to Rainbow and back.  Brett and Brandon turned around at  Monroe I stuck to my plan.  Got to Rainbow and then went up BST for half a mile and turned around.  Got back to the pond and added a mile to make it 10.  Great run the canyon breeze felt great this morning.

Ran from Washington Terrace to Roy to borrow my parents truck this morning.  Nice run down 300 W, Riverdale Rd, and west on 4400.

Good hard run today, got a little tired the last mile or so.

Nice morning on the parkway from 21st st pond with Brandon, Ben, and a couple of miles with a new guy...Tim.

Great morning running up Skyline trail to the 3 mile post, a little over 1400 ft. of vert to a nice view of the Ogden valley.  Really happy with my run today I was able to run all the way without stopping or walking.

Perfect morning out couldn't miss it.  Still a little fatigue from Saturday but made it through ok.

A touch windy and nicely cool down at 21st st pond this morning for a casual 5 with Brandon, Ben, Brett, and Tim.  Good run.

Nice run on a great morning.  It's been nice this week with pretty much perfect temps.

Really nice night with Janell from the Botanical Garden to Slackwater and back.

6 miles of awesomeness on the Brim trail up by Powder Mountain this morning.  What a great trail.  Thanks Oreo for leading the way with a pretty big group today including Brett, Tim, Ben, Brandon, Scott, and Chad.

Warm and windy on the parkway with Brett, Brandon, Chad, and Tim this morning for a nice run.  4 with them 6 solo.  I need a nap now.

Hot and windy but a great run with Nick on the BST south from 22nd St. trailhead.  Always good to get some dirt in the morning.

AFCU Running club this morning, although only 2 non-regulars showed up still a great morning on the BST.

Way too hot and windy this morning for me so easy effort today.  It's really been a hot, windy summer this year.

Really nice morning run on the parkway from 21st St pond east with Ben, Chad, Tim, and Brandon.

Nice coolish morning, made it to 8.25 before the sun hit me and it didn't start to feel warm until 10.5 or so.  Felt good today.

5 tired miles with Brandon and Chad on the parkway south from 21st st pond.

Tired again this morning, barely was able to drag myself out of bed.  Glad I got out but still tired, what's up this week?

Super windy out of the canyon this morning for the AFCU RC run.  Started at the Bontanical Gardens on Monroe and ran up to Rainbow and then down to almost Washington, turned around when I ran into Brandon and Doug.  Good run this morning.

Warm morning with a warm breeze off the mountain but nice company on the North Ogden canal trail with Tim, Brett, Brandon, Scott, and Chad.

Half marathon Tuesday.  Nice morning out on the Riverdale parkway.  4 miles with Tim from Pig farm south and back and then solo north around 21st St pond and back.  Feels good to get back to 13 on a weekday.

Great morning, except for the smoke but it wasn't too bad.  Good run, cruising enjoying being out today especially since I almost bagged it.

Well that was short lived, warm again this morning after the one day yesterday.  Good run today felt tired but ended up with a good pace and effort for me.

Awesome tough morning up at Snowbasin on the Sardine Trail loop.  I forget how great that trail is, glad I got up there finally.

Met Chad at the Botanical Gardens at 6, Brandon and Tim slept it.  We ran up to Rainbow and then I dragged Chad up the BST for a mile and then back to Botanical for 5 miles.  Then I went solo back up to Rainbow and then down to Lincoln and back to the Botanical gardens for a back and forth 11 this morning.

6 easy from 21st st pond west to 1900 and back plus a loop around the pond.  Ran with Brett, Tim, and Brandon this morning.  Good to get out with the gang again.

A little cooler this morning felt nice.  Up Washington Terrace, down Adams Ave Toll to Weber River Parkway to Riverdale Rd and then up 300 W.

Ok so I told myself 5 good runs this week.  One more to go.  Nice morning out first mile with Janell was great.  Cruisin the rest of the way.

Nice run this morning with a good crew, Tim, Brett, Chad, Brandon, and Scott.  Basically ran the Mountain To Metro course from Jump off trail head down canal trail to Rainbow Gardens and then down the Ogden river parkway to 21st st pond.  I added a lap around the pond.

Warm and breezy morning made for a tough one today, slogged through it and got it done.  Glad I got out.

Nice easy morning on the parkway from 21st st pond south with Tim, Ben, Brett, and Brandon.

Nice hard effort run this morning.  I was a little tired so not sure why I pushed it but I'll take it.

Didn't much feel like this today but I won most of the battle just getting out the door.  Goal was for easy effort today and I did that but it felt like I was running in place today.

Sweet late afternoon from Snowbasin up to Canyon Overlook with Janell and the dogs.

Windy but great morning run from Brandon's house to Dylan's on 12th street with Brandon, Tim, Ben, and Chad.

Half Marathon Tuesday on a nice morning.  Not quite as cool as I thought it would be.  My left inner thigh was sore from Saturday so I took it easy for a couple of days.  Feels ok now but I'll need to take it easy effort wise.

Great temps this morning for a nice run on the Parkway from 21st St. pond to the Botanical Garden and back with Tim, Brett, and Brandon.

Decided on Wednesday to do the East Canyon half marathon.  Good Ogden and Huntsville type course for a training run.  Felt good today and did a little better than I thought I would.

Nice run on the parkway with Brett, Ben, and Brandon.  Still a little warm this morning at 71...

Wow...thought this was September, it was dark enough but warm and windy this morning but a nice run anyway.

Big group this morning Emily, Sarah, Scott, Brandon, Chad, Brett, Ben, Tim, and Alan.  Dropped cars off at Riverdale City offices and then met everybody at Rainbow Gardens.  Ran down the parkway to 21st pond, around the pond, then south into Riverdale to the city offices.  Great morning, good time today.

Absolutely a perfect morning today for a 10 spot.  I've been waiting all summer for a morning like this felt great.

Another great morning, temps are perfect.  Nice to get out this morning almost didn't go because I had a headache.

Nice easy cruiser this morning, started feeling a little warm about 7 miles in but not too bad.  Good run this morning.

Nice run this morning, ended up doing about a 5.5 mile tempo.  Not really planned it just happened.

Great run this morning with Brandon, Brett, and Ben.  Started at North Washington Blvd. and took the canal trail out to the elk then down and back on Pleasant View drive to Lee's.  Next Saturday run with the boys is Huntsville Half.

Good run today after not running all week due to a cold.  Started out a little fast due to the down hill and just kept a pretty decent pace to the end.

Walking around shopping Sunday I kinda slipped on a couple of wet spots and strained my groin area so I've taken a few days off this week.  Finally felt like I could give a run a try this morning.  Felt great to get out again.  Took it nice and easy so as not to cause further problems.  Best of all is I feel great this afternoon.

Mountain 2 Metro race tonight with Brandon, Chad, and Brad. Tough but fun tonight with great company.

Nice day in Canyonlands Needles on the trail from Elephant Hill toward Druid arch.

Nice day in Arches on the Delicate arch trail, firey furnace trails.

Rainy morning in Moab.  Ran from the south end of town on the main drag to the Colorado River Bridge and back.

Got out too late, around 10AM, and it was too hot.  Glad I got out but it was tougher, should have went out earlier but that would have required that I get up early...

Great morning run with Brandon and Emily.  Started at Douglas St. trailhead up to the BST, south to Rainbow Gardens, up Birdsong trail to 20th St and then back and down the Ogden river parkway to the Botanical Gardens.  Super fun and first time on the Birdsong trail.

Nice run this morning, made better because it didn't rain.  Cruisin around the hood.

A little chilly this morning I wore light gloves and didn't take them off.  Not really looking forward to snow and ice.

Nice run on a pretty chilly morning.  First time of the season that I've seen frost on car windows.

Nice run on the North Ogden canal trail out to the elk and back with Brandon and Ben. Always nice to get out with those guys.

Plan was for 10 but about 3-4 in I got it in my head I should go 13.  So Half Marathon Tuesday today.  Nice morning, the temp was great and the clouds kept the sun off.

Nice after work cruiser on the BST above Weber State but surprise...they had the trail closed at Waterfall canyon.  Not good.

Tired this morning but a nice run on a great morning.

Windy 5 on the BST after work from 22nd st trail head south.  Looks like they're widening the trail and possibly putting in a new part down on the north side of Waterfall canyon.

Nice morning for a tired run on the North Ogden Canal road to the elk and back with Tim, Brett, Brandon, and Scott.

Nice easy cruiser on the BST above Weber State.

Cool morning at 36 but still a nice tired run.  Not really used to these night/morning runs quite yet.

Ok so my goal for this week is to be tired for every run..don't think that'll be a problem.  Good run otherwise, glad I got out.

Out a little early and man it was dark.  Going to Vegas to see the Rolling Stones on Saturday, can't wait.

Super nice this morning for a great run.  

Windy this morning but nice otherwise.  Of course I had to run into a head wind on the uphill parts.  I actually saw 1 other runner this morning at the bottom of Washington Terrace, rare for me.  Got home and discovered I'd lost my water bottle had to hop in the truck, ended up being 1.25 from home but I found it and it didn't get run over.

Didn't feel good when I got up but I thought I'd give it a try.  Mistake, felt like crap, GI issues, every step was hard today.  Glad I got out but I was soooo happy when it was done.

Ended up being sick Friday and the weekend.  Had a head ache all day today so I got home and decided to go for an easy cruiser to see if it would help my head ache.  Just what the doctor ordered.  

Kinda wierd this morning, left my house and it was raining lightly everything was wet.  Got to the top of Washington Terrace about 1.5 miles up the hill and everything was dry.  It made up for it in a couple of miles with some Ogden Marathon type training, rain check, hail check, wind check, cold check.

Easy cruiser today, goal was to keep my heart rate down.  I feel pretty good now so it must have worked.

Nice run on a great morning.  Ogden River parkway with Bradon just enjoying being out.

Nice run after work on the Riverdale Parkway from Pig Farm north around Ft. Buenaventura and back with Brandon.  Really nice out tonight.

Super nice morning for a great run.  Legs got tired for the last 3 miles.  I have a feeling we're going to pay for this nice weather at some point.

Another great morning for a run.  Ended up doing a tempo for the last 5 miles, didn't really plan it I just ran today and didn't think.

Super easy run today, I love to run in April its such nice weather.

Another perfect morning for a great run.

Windy by the canyon this morning, started at Douglas St trailhead south on the BST to Rainbow Gardens, up and back the birdsong trail and then down to the Botanical Gardens with Tim, Brett, and Brandon.  Great way to start a Saturday.

Well I officially don't feel good.  Had a rough night Sunday night so I rested yesterday thought I'd give it a try today.  I'm completely wiped out now, glad I got out though.

Windy, snowy so I'm stuck on the TM.  Yuck....I was able to will myself through this never ending slog.

Nice way to finish of a lazy week.  Started at the North Ogden Pass BST trail head, ran up into Cold Water Canyon, South on the BST then back to the Equestrian Park with Emily, Scott, and Brandon.  Great trail and a perfect Saturday morning.

Supposed to be a rainy day tomorrow, it's a sunny day today which equals run today not tomorrow.  Great run and a great afternoon. Took off about 11:30 and really enjoyed being out under the blue dome.

Great run today, I felt really good for some weird reason..haha.

Couldn't get to sleep last night so when my alarm went off this morning there was no way I was getting up.  So hopped on the TM afterwork alternating between 6 and 7 mph every .25 miles.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you bloggers.  A bit slick out this morning after the snow but a nice run.

Nice solo cruiser on the Odgen Parkway from 21st st pond to Rainbow Gardens and back.  A bit windy toward the canyon but not too bad.

Wimped out this morning, roads looked icy so I hit the TM after work before my nephew's birthday dinner.

Cold and windy for a nice run this morning.  The cold is not my favorite but it never seems to be quite as bad as I think it's going to be.  I need to remember that in the morning when I get up.

Nice easy run this morning in the snow.  Not too bad and I think it was a little warmer than it would have been without the snow.

Nice coldish run on the parkway with Brett and Brandon.  Started at Botanical Gardens, west past the pond and back the long way around the pond.

Nice run this morning, took it easy and just cruised.  Thought I'd take advantage of the "nicer" day today because next week is supposed to be really cold and snowy.

I was reminded this morning why I don't really like running in the wind this time of year. That was cold and blah but the battle was won when I stepped out the door.

Freakin cold this morning.  Once again the battle was won when I stepped out the door anything from there was icing on the cake.  Good run I layered enough so that I didn't really get cold for the most part.

Had to be to work early so I hit the TM for a quick 4. 

Another freakin cold morning but I got out and had a nice run today.  Nothing special just a good run.  Last one before the huge snow storm that the weather people are promising.

Felt like the Ogden Marathon of the last 2 years this morning on the Ogden Parkway from Botanical Gardens west to 21st st pond and back.  Soaking wet, check, cold, check.  It was nice to have Brandon and Chad out to share in the misery...

I didn't want to run today but I made myself get out the door.  I bribed me by saying I could turn around at any point.  So much for that, glad I got out and had a good run today.    Not hard to see it's December, the sun didn't hit me until 10 miles.

Hard to get motivated with the cold, dark mornings.  Got out and had a good run today.  I let my body run today didn't think about anything.  Didn't want to push it too hard after the longer run yesterday.

Nice run out in the snow this morning.  A little slick in spots but overall not too bad even when I had to run the last 1.5 into the light wind.

Plan was for 7.5 this morning but it was relatively warm and nice out so I extended a little.  It was even a bit breezy at the top of Washington Terrace and the wind didn't feel cold, quite nice for December in Utah.

Brrrr...cold one on the Ogden Parkway with Brandon and Tim this morning.  Temp was around 18 with a wind chill around 4.  We finally decided to go around 9:30am.  I'm glad we got out there good run, good times with friends.

Super cold outside and I was super un-motivated to run in it so quick 4 on the TM after work.

Back to a managable temp this morning at 21-24.  Good run and glad I got out.

Relative heat wave this morning at 31, which was nice for a change.  Light snow last night left about .25 on the roads which was just slick enough to not let me have a good toe off.

Nice morning at 25 but it didn't really feel that cold today for some reason.  Out cruising, plan was for 7.5 but I added on a little.

Thought we'd get rained or snowed on this morning but it turned out great and it was warm at 35.  Great run, nice and easy, with Brandon from Botanical west on the Ogden River Parkway.

Cold this morning so I got out in the afternoon when it was a balmy 27.  The roads were kinda crappy they had it all slush, puddles, snow, and ice.  Nice run though took it easy and just enjoyed being out today.

I've been sick all week so no running.  Had a cold that felt like it was going to my chest.  Decided to try a 10k on the TM today.  I was about finished when Tim's 12.9 map my run notification came through and couldn't let him beat me by that much.  So I ran another 10k on the freaking TM.
