| Ran with Sheridan this morning. About 46 degrees and dark when we started. Ran up the foothills. Elevation climb at 800ft. Legs felt good today due to no running the past two days. I think that the time off (wed, thurs) was a good thing. I was feeling real sluggish. I think that I was trying to jump back into it too quickly. Wish my mileage was higher this week, but I feel good about todays run. Something to build on.....I hope. | |

| Up at 4am..... not to run, but to go to Henrys Lake for some fall fishing. Fishing was slow..... one thing though, we were pumping up the pontoon boats and all three of my friends were so tired that I ended up pumping all three pontoon boats up. Fat fisherman! They had a steady diet of Snickers and licorice whips and Mountain Dew at 5am. Ughhh! Got home at 5pm and wanted to take a nap but went out for a 6 mile run.Weather was perfect. 70 degrees and a breeze out of the S. 8:20 avg pace I didn't get tired pumping up the boats....... did strain my neck and shoulder. I can hardly move my left side. | |

| 66 degrees and no wind, and it was light outside when I started at 5am. Okay, I was on the treadmill this morning. We put it together last night and my kids got first dibs on it. So I thought I had better give it go this morning. The ifit is a nice feature and I plugged in my running route up sunnyside and down scenic dr and home. It adjusted to the elevation changes. avg pace 8:10 | |

| Interesting day! It started out raining and by noon it was a nasty snow storm. I'm guessing that it snowed a good couple of inches today and its still snowing. Didn't know that I would be reaping the benefits of my new purchase so soon. Ran ten miles in Yellowstone National Park this afternoon. Traffic was light and didn't see any animals to speak of. Ha HA! 10 miles @ 8:20 | |

| Snow is melting today. I believe that we received about 5 inches between yesterday and this morning. Glad it's over! Ran up Sunnyside and down Scenic drive. Avg pace for the run 8:15 The last 5 miles avg pace 7:35 per mile.Wore my heart rate monitor this run to see how my hr was doing. I was around 155 to 162 during the last 5 so I do have some room to improve. Pleased overall. I did take a fall at work and took a bunch of skin off my shin. The run loosened up the aches though. | |

Nice day today! Low 50's and blue sky. It looks like all the snow is gone! Sheridan skipped out on me today so I ran alone as usual. 10 miles at avg pace of 8:15. Missed a day this week, other than that I am pleased with the week. The main thing is that I have no running injuries. |

Up at 5am and ran to work on a very cool but nice morning. Temps were hovering around 32 degrees and no wind. Pretty dark out, a sign of things to come. Legs felt strong this morning and hopefully will continue for the run home. Fall is here!
Ran home on a cloudy afternoon with temps I think about 50 degrees or so. Felt real good today running home. | |

| Rode into work with a coworker, but ran home later. Temp around 52 or so with a good breeze, 20+ mph from the southwest. Avg pace for the run 8:15. I feel pretty good right now. Legs aren't fatigued like last week. I think that my base is built back up partially. I don't feel like it was in April-May but its getting closer. Just in time for crappy weather! | |

| Spent the last two day at Henry's Lake on a fishing trip with a friend. Had a great time! No time for running. Up early and fished till dark and was just worn out. Back at it today and had a nice run around town and around the greenbelt this early afternoon. Temps were hanging around 60 degrees. Just a very pleasant day. Didn't need to help my friend with the inflation of his pontoon boat, so no cross training this fishing trip. Avg pace for the run 8:05 for the run. | |

| 10 treadmill miles this morning. It was a nice morning, but I had to many obligations after work, so I got my run in before the day got away from me. Legs felt pretty fresh this morning. Didn't have a great running last week but I had fun and I am not going to beat myself up over it! This is suppose to be fun....right.Avg pace for the run @ 8:20 | |

| Up at 3am to head to work this morning. Went home at noon and went for a run up sunnyside road. Nice temps today around 50 degrees and very little wind. I'm starting to feel like I'm a runner again after my injury filled summer. Think I'll start throwing in some tempo runs during the next couple of weeks and see if I can get my speed up. Legs feel fresh and ready to roll. | |

| One mile warmup and then off for a interval workout. 1/2 mile repeats followed by 1/2 mile easy running. Good workout to get back a little speed. It's going to be a work in progress. 1/2 mile repeats were at a 7:00 pace. Need to start slowly..... still a bit concerned over another injury. Legs still feel good. Great weather today in Idaho.... no wind and sun! Nothing was going on at home so I did a hill workout on the treadmill. Just 2.25 miles. Nothing special, just getting in a few more miles. |

| 37 degrees at the start. Blue sky and no wind! Beautiful day. 11 miles up the foothills at avg pace of 8:20. Felt like going for another 3 to 4 miles but thought again..... why push it now? Good week overall. Legs feel strong and no phantom pains.... | |

| Easy miles on the treadmill this morning at 4am. Good thing that I got it out of the way early, the day just got busy and ran away from me. The run felt great this morning after a nice sunday off. Avg pace today 8:20. | |

| Ran in the afternoon on a very nice fall day. Temps in the mid 40's or so and not much wind. Ran a few mp miles..... not really sure what my mp is right now...I'm guessing high sevens??? Right now my easy runs tend to run in the 8:20 to 8:30 range. Maybe I'm running too many junk miles and I'm not sure what the heck I'm doing! |

| Very cool day. Highs in the 30's. Ran up sunnyside and around for a 10 miler avg pace 8:10 for the run. Legs are feeling good still. Varied the pace between 7:40 to 8:30. I would pick it up for a bit and then back off. The 7:40 pace felt comfortable. Don't know how long I can maintain that.......... maybe try thurs or friday to hold it for 10 or 12 miles and see how it feels. Happy with the progress. | |

| Ten easy treadmill miles at 5am this morning. No PTT...... don't know if I was experiencing phantom pains Saturday or what. 8:30 avg pace this morning. Had a good Sunday! Started at 6:45am and finished up at 1:30pm. The shortest sunday I have had in 2 1/2 years. Got a good nap and watched the Marx Bros in the evening. Are there any Coldplay fans out there? Purchased their latest cd over the weekend. It's a good one! | |
