Ran in shorts and a short sleeve shirt on December 1st today. Great weather....wind was a bit breezy. Had a busy day with church meetings and just got this run in between a couple of them. Reorganizing the stake leadership in our stake....

This was more of a progressive run than a tempo run. Started off easy and built to marathon pace....7:50 or so and then finished up at 6:30. Feel like I am coming down with something at the moment. Hopefully get a good 7 hours sleep and see what happens.

After the clinic last night at Teton Running, I decided to work on my turnover. Jeff Shadley gave some good instruction about working on form during the off season. Had a pleasant surprise when I arrived home......new shoes! Legs felt tired today and so this workout was a bit like yesterday. I have to work in the morning so I may opt for a low mileage day tomorrow and rest for the upcoming week.

Ran after work on a very cool but nice day for December 8th. Legs felt much better today. Miles were not quite marathon pace but not a real easy pace either. Hoping to do some Christmas shopping this afternoon.........ya I know....it's not the 24th....I must be out of my mind.

Ran to work this morning. Wow, it was a nasty run in...lots of black ice. It didn't appear to be bad from my bedroom window at 4am.....Glad I didn't ride my bike or motorcycle!

Well, after a 10 hour day at church and finding nobody home, I decided to chill out and run downstairs on the tm. It helped! I feel better about things.....now to find my family...

Winter has arrived in eastern Idaho....anyway that's my excuse for running on the tm this evening. I ran 10x800 with a 400m recovery. I hit these 800's anywhere from 3:12 to 3:23. Haven't mixed any real good speed work in a while and felt like this would be a good test. I was pleased for the most part.

Had some bad news yesterday. My wifes sister passed away in Pocatello. Great gal that has been wheelchair bound for 50 years. She came down with spinal meningitis at 3 years old and never recovered. She has blessed the lives of so many. Grateful to have known her these past 30 years. Had family and friends drop by this evening and this run was divided into 3 seperate runs. Friends gave me hugs in my sweaty running clothes. They are just great! I will have the opportunity to conduct the funeral this Saturday.

Ran some hill repeats on the tm this late morning. Cold and slick outside due to Idaho's winter. Thought I would play it safe today.
