Turn your rut into a groove.

am--5.25 Just trying to get the legs used to running again. By the end, it almost felt normal to run. 

pm--4 Chuckwalla loop w/ Tom. Twas nice to get out there again, and he wanted to test out his new Chrismas gift--VFFs. 

pm--5 Progression run on the tready @ 2% to hit the 2K mark for the year. I wasn't sure that I would make 2K for a great part of the year, but the last few months have been good. 

pm--6 Old Swiss Days loop. Twas a cold bugger. I wore shorts and a long sleeve shirt w/ gloves and a beanie. Thought this would be plenty because the sun was out and shining. But I ended up being really cold, especially running into the wind. 

am--10 From Castle Rock to Snow Canyon and down the wash into Santa Clara w/ some Santa Clara folks. I was wearing the most shoe out of anyone today, and I wasn't wearing much. One of my running buddies has made his own huaraches. 

am--21 Tried to talk myself out of a run this morning but thought that I should set a good precedent for the year. I looped out on the Rim trails by myself and then hit Barrel Roll w/ Sidewinder w/ Tom. We were both dragging the last few miles. Nevertheless, this all builds towards my goals this year:

• Hit some steady state/marathon miles every week.
• Hit a 90+ minute run every week.
• Hit a day (hopefully a run) each month that is 27+ miles.
