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!
