| Guess you would call these junk miles today. Cool outside and I am getting soft, so I ran on the tm today. I put in 24 and just plugged along till the family got home. Nothing to note worthy from this run today only that I finished and I feel ok. Off tomorrow so I am hoping to run during the afternoon when it will be the warmest......... like 29 degrees warm. |

Pretty cool outside this morning, so I tan on the tm. Good workout for me, more or less a progressive run. 4 easy miles followed by 3 at mp. Then finished up with some quick miles to make me feel real tired before I head to work. My boss will appreciate me for that today.

Well, between the lack of sleep and coping with the after math of the stomach flu, I was pretty much out of energy this morning. I did manage 7+ miles at 8:10 pace and glad that I'm finished. Hoping for a good week of running.
Ran a trial 5k after work today and finished up at 20:20. Not all bad considering sickness and running earlier today.

| Last two days I have been ill and had no ambition to run. Felt like I needed to do something this morning. 11 1/2 miles on the tm with lots of "death march " pace. Glad to have it done. Probably will curl up and try to sleep this afternoon. |

Feeling better today for the most part. Ran on the tm and ran one of the preset workouts. Don't think that I will do that for a while. TM's inclined climbed and climbed and stayed at 12 % for three miles and then slowly lowered to a more reasonable level. Still hacking up some green goobers, but feeling better!
It snowed today, maybe 2 inches and it appears that it will hang on for a white Christmas. Maybe it is time I picked a winter hobby to carry me through this winter. | |

| Had a great run considering all the crud that I have been dealing with lately. 1 mile warmup and 5.3 @ 6:50. Ordered some new shoes Tuesday and they came today, so I had to try them out. Duh!!!! They are a light neutral shoe weighing in at 8 ounces or so. This is the first real light shoe that I have worn. Merry Christmas FRB's |

1 miles warm up and ran some hill repeats on the tm. 400 meters climbing and then the same distance recovery. Speed varied and so I'm not to sure on the pace for sure, but I'm tired so that's good. | |

Nice easy run today. Super great to get out this afternoon on a very pleasant day. Holidays seem to be winding down for me. Daughter and son-in-law are heading back to Moscow Id in a couple of days and my other daughter is heading back to school in a few. My son called Sunday from Michigan, so it seems that we have had are share of excitement and things are getting back to the same old drag. Running is so great to zone out. What a great gift.
I found this over the weekend. This is a great video! Check it out. It's only a couple of minutes long. Enjoy!

| Real nice day here in Idaho Falls, to bad I fell asleep after work and missed it. Tm run this evening with the family playing the wii while I ran. Guitar Hero, Cabelas hunting game, and some others made it quite enjoyable. Muscles were just a bit tender today. I think it is these new shoes. I sure enjoy them and hope they continue to work for me. |

| Daughter drove me up Sunnyside dropped me off and I ran home. 10 miles at 7 pace for the run. Wanted to try the shoes out going downhill and they seem to work just fine. Warm temps for this time of year. 40's and the snow is all gone. |

Ran some hill repeats for the first part of the run today on the TM. 800 meters up and 400 recovery. The last 5 I ran at mp which is 7:40 to 45 ish. That's the thing, it has been a few years since I have ran that race and I'm not sure exactly what my pace is. I have improved since then and I believe that my speed is better. Guess time will tell.
Finished up a year full of injuries and adventures. All in all I am pleased with what I have been able to do this year. Three months was basically a wash due to injuries. Family, work, going back to school, serving in our church, and trying to run has been interesting to fit it all in this year. Thank the good Lord that I married well and my kids are super supporters. Should be another busy year. Looking forward to April to see my son again.
Running has given me time to reflect and enjoy my life. We are so blessed to live in this great nation. Thanks to all my friends here on the fastrunningblog that motivate and inspire me. You guys and gals are great! |
