The Dude abides...

Nice run north to 4800S in Roy and back on the rail trail.

Snow run today, not too bad.  Good to get out for an easy morning.

Nice and easy today, very icy.  At least I didn't fall today.

Not fun today.  After the rain last night it was an ice rink out there.  The rail trail south from 2300 N was not runnable.  Had to go north, it was so so and only because Roy City puts a little sand/salt mix down.

Cold and a really cold breeze today but good to get out.   Took a couple of days off due to a little pain on the front of my hip.  Still there a little today but managable.

Going to play this sore leg thing by ear.  Took yesterday off, ran to 4800 in Roy on the rail trail.

My leg felt a little better today, hopefully I'm starting to get better now.  Cold run today, it was 19 with around 14 wind chill.  Ran south just past 800 N in Clearfield on the rail trail.

Cold inversion run today.  Bad air cut it a little short.

Nice temp wise this morning at 34 but bad air.  Cut it short again today.

Nice run with CLEAN air under the blue dome today.  Nice for a change.  South on the rail trail to 300N in Clearfield and back.

Cold out today but good air.  Nice run north to 5200 S and back on the rail trail.  Took it easy today my leg was buggin just a bit.

Nice morning for January couldn't pass it up.  Nice and easy to 1300N and down to 1500W and back.

First 2.5 with Janell, nice to get out with her.  The rest solo.

No run yesterday, 40+ mph wind gusts kinda nixed that idea.  

Cold out today but nice clean air.  North to 4800 S in Roy and back.  Felt good today so I added a mile.

Had to take a few days off, the snow storm made it easier.  My leg problem crept up on me.  Felt ok today, trying to ease back in.

Back and forth about whether to run or not.  Decided to go for it, leg is ok, not good.  Took it easy.

Cold and windy today.  Had to take it nice and easy, the rail trail was icy.

A little breezy out but can't really complain about 43 degrees.  Took yesterday off to give my leg a break.  Got out and felt ok again so I took advantage of the temp and went a little longer today.

Over did it a little on Friday, my leg hurt.  So I took a couple of days off.  Hopefully today was ok....we'll see.

Leg was not really good today.  Decided to try it anyway because it was a really nice morning and it's supposed to snow tomorrow morning.  So I'm counting on a rest day tomorrow...haha.

Rest day yesterday, turned out good because it rained all morning.  Nice run today, a little sore to start but felt slightly better than Tuesday.

Perfect morning out today, doesn't get much better and it's February...  Leg felt good today but still playing it by ear.  Took the last 3 days off to rest it.  Although I was done about 6 ish miles I pushed it to 7.4 today.

My leg was sore again yesterday so I rested.  Took it easy today, such a nice morning it was good to get out.

Needed to take some time off to get my leg better.  The last week+ With stormy weather was the perfect excuse.  Now I need to take it easy starting again.  So far so good today.  It was really nice to get out again, I missed it.

Super nice morning.  Felt good to get out.  Still being cautious with my leg, hopefully every other day for now.

Cold today, 19 degrees with a breeze out of the SW.  Good to get out, leg is getting better.  I just need to stay the course and take it easy.  Heard a crash at 1800 N 1000 W in Clinton as I was about .1 from the intersection.  Luckily it didn't look too bad.

Cold out there at 21 with a breeze out of Weber Canyon.  Hopefully this is the last couple of days of really cold weather.  Good run today, nice to get out.  Still trying to be careful with my leg.  It's feeling better and I don't want to over do it.

Nice run on a great morning.  Leg hurt after....I'm bummed.

Nice Saturday on the Ogden Parkway from 21st street pond west to I-15.  Good to get out with friends again for a nice Saturday morning run and breakfast after.

45 degrees this morning, if only it could stay this way.  Nice run, leg felt good today.  Hopefully it stays that way today.

Two days in a row running for the first time in more than a month.  Good to get out, my leg felt better today.  Hopefully it continues.

Cool out this morning but good to get out.  First 2.5 with Janell and the rest solo.

Nice morning not too cold at 37 but no wind so bonus.  Leg felt ok today.

Really nice out today, great to get out.

Nice to feel good enough to get out for 2nd day in a row.  Took it easy today.  Cool breeze out of Weber Canyon this morning.

Wow, look at that 3 days in a row.  My leg is holding up pretty well, hopefully I can run tomorrow and then take at least Saturday off for the rain.

Slept in, didn't get out until 9.  Nice morning with Janell on the rail trail north to 5600.

Nice day out but cold, what happened to Spring.  Felt better today, like just a tad of fitness coming back.

What happened to spring?  Another cold morning with a little breeze.  Good to get out and good to have my leg feeling better, hope it holds...

Gray, cool, and a little breezy.  My leg was just ok today so I took it easy.  Rest day tomorrow.

Very windy today.  Decided to run south into the wind first.  Got started and the wind swiched from S to NNW.  I felt pretty good today even with the wind so I'll take it.  No allergy issues with the wind so a double plus.

Brrrr, 25 this morning.  Thought we might be done with these colder mornings.  Good run north to 5600 on the rail trail.  1 guy didn't think it was too cold wearing shorts and short sleeve shirt no gloves, he looked cold for the record.

Brrr another cold one at 28 under the blue dome, windchill was low 20's.  I need to find the thermostat for the blue dome...  Nice run north to 4800 S in Roy and back on the rail trail.  Ready for the warm up the next few days.

Felt hard today.  Donated blood yesterday so that's par for the course.  Nice morning good to get out, north to 5600 in Roy and back.

Didn't feel right today, run was tougher than it should have been.  Could have been due to eating a couple of rolls and sugar cookies at my Mom's yesterday.  Nice morning though and good to get out.  My leg is progressing nicely.

Rain, snow and windy yesterday gave me a day off.  Good to get out this morning, north to 4800 S in Roy and back.

No run yesterday got my 2nd COVID vaccination on Wednesday and didn't feel good.  Good run today, much better than Wednesday morning.

• Nice morning for a run, took some time off in Cancun the last week.   Good times.  Having allergy issues so I ran with a mask today.  I picked the wrong mask but I've got to get used to a mask for now. 

Different mask better result.  Nice morning to get out.

Still the masked bandit...

Really nice morning, felt ok.  South on the Rail Trail to 1300 N, west to 1500 W. then north home.

Easy does it on a cloudy Saturday morning

New mask today, it was a little big so I've got to fix that.  Had to run looking down and messing with the mask for the whole time, not fun.  Stupid allergies.

This mask thing...blah, but I gotta do what I gotta do.  Anyway, nice morning to get out.  Ran "The Loop" today.

Had to rest my leg yesterday it got a little sore.  Nice warm morning today.  Felt a little better allergy wise.
