Ran at work. First went 5 miles solo EagleView route then 5.2 miles LakeView route with Paul and Nate. Was sure nice having those guys around and getting past the injuries so they can get out on these noon-time runs at work. I'm sure they'll be in top shape in no time. Also Darin said he would like to join me on the tempo runs I usually do on Tues and Thursday or Friday. It will be interesting to see how I stack up nowadays against Darin who has always been alot faster than me. Hopefully with my training hard over winter and him taking it easy we might be at a closer level than in days past. Maybe the "King" will join us some time as well.

Kind of funny that Paul was talking about achilles tendon pain and then strangely after the run I noticed some pain in my right achilles tendon. Paul did you transfer your injury to me? Hopefullly it's nothing to worry about, I'll do the R-I-C-E treatment and hope for the best. Good news is the low hamstring tendonitis that was bugging me in December on my left side seems to be about recovered. Sure would be nice if all these aches and pains would just go away. This winter/cold running is tough on us old guys.

Tom, You can't call yourself an old man anymore....when you do that it makes me an old woman and I'm not ready for that!

Glad some of the Novell guys were able to join you today, I know you enjoy your runs with them.

Hey, grey beard, old guy. Thanks for the "Rock". For a few moments I was Jack Black and the lead singer for ACDC. I agree on the cold and old, be careful, Sylvie tweeked a hammy on saturday running in the cold. Some days, just tough to get properly warmed up.

Hey, you and Kim come on out and do the SLC Track Club 10K if you can fit it into your schedule. It is a low key race, runners are nice, good course.
