Easy miles after work. Nice warm 36 degree afternoon. Hopefully the roads will bare up and driving can be better.

Ran in breezy conditions. Still nice for what we have had. Feet got wet today due to the warm temps.

Well, got some bad news.... I had today off so I thought I would get some things done. So the ice along the gutters so I thought I would shovel some snow off the edge of the roof...no no, I didn't fall... well not on purpose. I decided to get off the roof by jumping into a pile of snow that was along our driveway. Yes it was a large pile of snow but not taking into the fact that it had warmed up a bit and the snow became compacted, it did not give like I thought it would. I have done something to my ribs. I am struggling to take a breath of air.... Didn't think I would miss a run from this!!! Hopefully just tweaked something and will only be sore for a day or two.

Not much to report. Ribs are sore and uncomfortable. Can't do a whole lot right now. Sleeping has been interesting. Hopefully I will see some improvement in a few days.

A painfull 5 miles on a nice December day. Ribs didn't like the run, but after a week of not running it was all I could do. Oh well, see what happens monday. Have a nice weekend all!

5 easy miles around the greenbelt at lunch. Ribs are the same.....when I run it feels like a nasty side stitch. I'll just keep plugging away and see if it starts to feel better or maybe I am just irritating it????

Easy miles after work. 36 degrees and a little breeze. Hanna came too.... had to give her a bath afterwords.... whe was a mess..road grime and mud....she loves the puddles. Great news ......ribs felt a little better today. Finally felt some improvement. I picked the pace up for a moment and didn't feel a lot of discomfort. Just a nagging side ache.

Easy miles up sunnyside and over to 25th and back home. Started to get real slick on the way back home. A slushy sunday and cool temps make for real slick conditions. Felt good today. Ran 3 miles at 7:15 pace and no rib irritation. Just when I am trying to sleep!

Nice day today. Temps in the low 30's. It seems like my running will shift to the maintenance during the next few weeks due to the weather. Some dry patches will allow me to run at mp. It will be a .... lets see what the conditions are like today...Idaho weather!

Ran around the park in Ammon. The pathway in Ammon is better than the one in IF. Whats up with that???? Hard to get a good pace going when you are constantly watching each step.

Okay, I'm not the brightest but I didn't have anything to do this morning so I thought I would go out for my run before the day got going...... 5 degrees above.... with the wind chill -13 degrees. Remember Ralphie's brother Randy in A Christmas Story....like a tick ready to pop....well that's how I bundled up. Hanna made it 3 miles before she gave out. I didn't realize how cold till I started to head north when I felt the wind. Well it's off to take down Christmas stuff and play with the kids. Happy New Year FRB"s
