runnin with a friend

Ran up sunnyside after work on a very pleasant day. High 30's and very little wind. Bought some arm warmers and tried them out today. They worked great! 8:05 avg for the run.

Just some easy miles today. Temps at about 40 or so. Pretty good day to run. Taking it nice and easy. Hoping to get miles up a bit and then add some tempo running.

Nice cool March morning. Temps in the mid 20's at the start. Pretty good breeze blowing from the southeast. Had a crazy day at work yesterday. Fellow co-worker's wife got a call from SLC saying that they had a kidney for her. Great news, she has been waiting for some time know. Well, my shift was over and I was heading out the door to go for a run. My supervisor called and told me that he couldn't work that evening for my co-worker due to home project. So I ended up working a 14 hour day and no run. Glad to do it though. This might give my friends wife a few good quality years. Question...... Why do they say, ''harvest'' when talking about organs donatin. Sounds gross! And I don't get grossed out very often.

25 degrees this morning. Nice to get out before the roads were full of disgruntled drivers. Ran up sunnyside and back home. A good week of running in the first week of March.

25 degrees and no wind. Nice run to work this morning. Don't know what this afternoon will bring. Rain and snow mix is the forecast. Hopefully off to a good start of the week.

Nice afternoon. Mid 30's and very little wind. More easy miles. Legs still feel fresh. Probably will run up sunnyside tomorrow for some hill work.

Pretty crappy day. Windy and cool. Managed to get in 6 miles. Thats it!

Ten miles on a nice morning. 30 degrees at the start. Ran up sunnyside and around McCowin park. Ran 4 miles at 7:15 pace. The rest of the run: just some easy miles at 8:10 or so avg. Daughters 16th birthday today. Yikes!!!!!! Busy rest of the day. House full of sophomore girls. I am a prisoner in my own home.

It actually got into the 40's! Windy though with cloudy skies...... but I am not complaining. Had a very friendly blood hound follow me 7 out of the 10 miles. I got home and Hanna seemed to be upset with me. Just didn't feel like taking an hour after the run to bath her.

Ran this afternoon on a nice day. Temps in the 40's and slight breeze. Hanna came and made it 4 miles before plopping down in a pile of snow.Ran the last  mile in 6:15 which felt good knowing that I havent't sped up like that in a very long time. Hoping to get a 12 to 14 miler in tomorrow.

Had to cut the run short due to a good blister that was forming on my toe. Nice morning 30 plus and just a light breeze from the north. Legs felt pretty good today. Bummer with the blister. It should heal by monday with a little tlc. Good solid week for me in March. Should be in the mid 60's mpw by the end of the month.

Ran to work on a cool, rainy, and breezy morning. Interesting enough........passed 4 runners this morning. Tough Idahoans! temps in the high 30's. See what it looks like at 4:30 for the run home.

Windy and sunny on the way home this afternoon. Legs felt like lead pipes today. Had a busy day at work so I think that will be my excuse today. Pace on the way home... 8:15 avg

Had a crazy day! Went to work for a couple of hours. Arrived at 5am and worked till about 930am. Headed back home to conduct a funeral. Funeral lasted for a while and the dinner afterwards took care of about 6 hours. It was a very nice funeral. Young (67) grandfather and father passed away. Children gave him a wonderful tribute! Glad to be apart of the program. Anyways, got home and ran 8 plus miles on a cloudy day.

Not much to report.... Wet and windy. Rain and grime. Mud and gunk..... get the point.

Nine plus mile run before work this afternoon. Windy and sunny. Snow is finally gone for the most part. Finished up cleaning after my two dogs........You don't want to know....Anyway, the run was good. Legs are feeling stronger and stronger. Hope things progress well for the next couple of weeks.

Temp about 35 degrees and very little wind. Ran to work at brunch time. Working a 11 hour day. Will run home later today. Lots of people out this morning. avg pace for the run  7:50 

Ran home @ 10:30 38 degrees. 6 and half miles. Nice evening.

Ran home from the Regional Jumproping Championships late this afternoon from Bonneville High School. Cool and windy with the temp about 37 degrees. Tough running. Just sitting around for 9 hours and body pretty stiff. Glad to have the run over. Ran against the wind for most of the run. Side note: my two kids performed well. My son qualified to go to Nationals in 6 events. My daughter 8 events. My daughter is Regional Champion in 5 events. 

Ran to work this morning in 40 degree weather. A bit windy. Felt pretty tired this morning. Too much rest on sunday........or sitting around. Shooting for about 62 to 65 miles this week.

Ran home this afternoon in some typical March weather. 40 or so outside with some wind. Rain drizzled as I finished up. MP for most of the run. Hoping to run up sunnyside tomorrow. Hoping to run the Teton Dam Marathon on the 11 June. I am far from ready. Hope to make some good gains in the next couple of months.

Ran this afternoon on a pretty crappy day. Very windy, but had some sunshine. Hard to stay in a good pace at all due to 35 + mile per hour gusts. Hard to dress properly with winds like that and temps in the low 40's.

Took off at 6am with no wind and 38 degrees. Ran 10 miles at avg pace @ 8:10 for the run. With a couple of miles to go it started to snow and blow. Typical March like weather. Busy last couple of days.... looking forward to a quiet weekend.

Beautiful morning in Idaho! Low 30's and very little wind. Ran 5 miles with Hanna and finished up the run going up sunnyside and back for a nice 13 miler. Good week for me. Next week I will start throwing in some speed.

Had one of those sunday headaches yesterday so I took a couple of excedrin. Bad mistake. Could not fall asleep last night. I don't do very well with caffiene. Took off to work early this morning ... light snow falling at 28 degrees. By the time I finished up, crunch, crunch......3/4 of an inch of snow fell. No wind to speak of. I started off thinking I would run a good 6 to 7 miles mp, but it started to become slick. Felt pretty good considering the amount of sleep. Hope to put in some more miles on the way home. We will see how the body feels.

The weather treated me about the same.....snow. Temps were about 33 degrees. Nice and cool and cloudy. The run felt pretty good for the most part. How fast can a guy really go when his hat and gloves are soaked. Felt like a human sponge.

Ran in Challis today. Three day steelhead fishing trip. My fishing friends can't figure me out with the early morning run. Hey, they get the spots while I run and then I go and fish with them. Sounds fair to me!

Just another early morning run in Challis. Lots of deer and elk around. They haven't given me any trouble, just the steelhead.

Pretty tired this morning. Looking forward to getting back home. Wanted to run a tempo run this morning but just didn't have anything in the tank. Steady diet of Cliff bars and potatoes the last couple of days. Don't want any questions about the fishing the last couple of days. Enough said! Man, did the wind blow today. 35mph all day long. Doesn't help when you are fly fishing!
