| Nice easy run on the tm this morning. The last three I picked the pace up a bit and finished strong for me. Good start to the week. The house is back to just the 4 of us now. Hilary is heading to BUYI to finish up her bachelors degree this semester and hopes to get into pharmacy afterwards. Things are certainly different. Happy New Year to all frb's |

| Son was home ill after school, so I ran on the tm while he watched Sponge Bob Square Pants. It was a pretty hard workout today. ( Not watching sponge bob but running ) Did some hill repeats... 1200 meter and 400 recovery (6 miles of hills)and then 4 @ 7:35. I'm tired! Received the travel plans from my sons Mission Home in Michigan today. Looking forward to April! |

| Short on time today so I ran a faster pace run on the TM. I am missing great weather but I have to put on different hats at different times so this is what I get. 4 miles at 6:50 and then the last 2 @ 7:30. Off I go to the church. |

| Took it real easy today. Snail pace for the run but I ran! Running with Sheridan tomorrow for a longer run. Hope that I am up for it. I have some tenderness from yesterdays workout....Time to start thinking of my racing plans and goals for the year...Gosh, maybe I just need to run one race....that would be a miracle. | |

| Legs are dead tired! Too much speed work or something. That sounds as good as anything. Slow miles and nothing special. Cut the run short due to just plain laziness. 10@ snail pace | |

| Much better run than yesterday. Ran with Sheridan up sunnyside and over to 1st and back to his place. Some phantom pains here and there so cut the run short to run another day! |

| Had a busy day and didn't get the run in till early evening. So it was the tm workout. Didn't know exactly what I was going to do till I warmed up. Legs felt good so I opted for a hill workout. After a mile warmup I set the incline at 4 and ran 400 meters and then 400 cool down but kept the pace the same which was 8:15. I did that for the rest of the run which was 8.35 miles. I guess that is a speed workout in disguise? Sure felt like it. Runners are funny, 9.35 miles for the run and I'm thinking 10 sounds some much better.......nah... I'm done!...Till tomorrow. |

| Took the day off to finish up a class and get some things done around the house. Managed to get a run in late morning. Cool and cloudy out but ok for the second week of January. Just took it easy after the workout last night. Legs felt a bit sluggish today. I think that it was due more to the hour of last nights run and this mornings run. |

| Cool and clear this afternoon with temps around 25 with a slight breeze from the north. I dressed for it this time and had a nice run. I started out running 7:30's and that felt too slow but I stayed with it for most of the run. Towards the end I slowed a bit, but overall I felt pretty good and I had tights, shorts, two shirts, arm warmers, and a jaket on. Maybe if conditions were better I may have run faster longer??? |

| Up early and pretty cool outside so tm running it is. 10 easy miles in a comfortable basement with Hanna right beside me. I need to take her on a walk today. She is quite the lazy dog. I think I need to replace some of my running shirts. This tm running is killing them. Lots of sweat and stink running on the tm. Guess I will look into some orange shirts and see how they work for me. |

| Had a great run with Sheridan today. Started out with temps in the low 30's and I think that they stayed there for the majority of the run. Ran up in the foothills and over to Iona and back. Great company and run today. It has been sometime since I ran this distance. I felt like I could have gone some more but that is when you probably get an injury, so I am satisfied! |

23 degrees and a cool breeze from the south this morning. Ran to work and when I arrived the boiler was down so there was no hot water...... Needless to say I showered and smelled okay. I'm still chilled at this hour....... Look forward to the run home...... maybe the hot shower too. 6 miles at 7:55 pace.
Ahhh! The hot shower felt so good. 6 miles home at 8:05. 25 degrees and very windy or breezy whichever you prefer. Don't know if I'm going to run back and forth from work the rest of the week unless it warms up. |

| 10 and 1/4 recovery miles on the tm in the afternoon. Legs felt hammered all day long, but the run helped out a bunch. These were pretty slow miles so I am not going to announce to the fast running blog what they were. | |

| TM miles after work this afternoon. Legs felt much better and overall pace was around 8:05. This big storm rolled through and we got some rain out of it. Quite different for January.My daughter that lives in Moscow Idaho is trying to shovel herself out of 15 inches of that white stuff. | |

| Kids were up at 5:30am to head to jumprope practice so I decided to get my run in early today. It was raining out so off to the tm. Watched "Bones" and "24" to help pass the time away. Run felt good overall. I missed yesterdays run so my legs should have felt good and refreshed. | |

| Not much purpose in my run today. Just some easy miles with little excitement. Hanna just stared at me the whole time. Kinda made me nervous. | |

| Ran with a purpose this evening. Half mile warmup and ran a bunch of hill repeats. It was good to get the legs moving and breathing hard. Hope that I'm not trashed tomorrow. I would like to get a midweek long run in, but we'll see how it goes. I would like to watch the Australian Open semis early this morning so I may not get a lot of rest. |

Put in a big day at work and didn't make it home till 7pm. Ran on the tm at 8:15 avg pace for run. Going to start my long run early in the morning, but I am wondering if I will feel spent.....Wish I had some more time to recover. | |

| I had to get the run in early due to a big day with the family. 5am run on the tm and I'm glad this run is over. Didn't have the mojo today, but I'm finished! Daughter and son are performing at ISU at halftime at the basketball game. My daughter came home yesterday and she has the lead role in the high school musical Oliver! We are so excited for her. Our son will be home a week before she performs, so it is a tender mercy. | |
