| Well, finally decided to go to the doc after two weeks of crap. Long story short.....Inner ear infection (wow haven't had this one since I was a young lad) and strep throat. Got some drugs from the pharmacy. Let's hope that helps. I tried all sorts of remedies. Has anyone ever gargled with vinegar? It hurts like (*&^%&$##! Okay, got another one, vicks rubbed on the feet at night, then put some socks on and you will be good to go in the morning. Maybe this week, maybe friday or saurday. | |

| Easy miles after work on a very cool day. Temperature about 10 above. The wind chill is about 10 below zero. Needless to say....miserable. Hanna came with me. She had a frozen beard. The family thought that I shouldn't take her out in the cold. Typical, they are worried about the family pet and not their father...... | |

She ran off leash, which was a good thing. Too many squirells to count. She is super speedy when it comes to chasing down furry animals. | |

| Another cool morning in Southeastern Idaho. Took daughter to jumprope practice in Rexburg and took a run while I waited. Ran in the community of Archer. Lots of friendly folks out. Older couple in their 80's walking 5 miles this morning hand in hand. Pretty awesome! Had a nice chat with them. To my surprise ...... friendly dogs out checking me out. Had a companion for a couple of miles. | |

| Ran after work up sunnyside for a 8 3/4 mile run. Nice weather for the most part. 34 degrees and very little wind. Felt real good going up the hills. Wish I knew my pace up the hills. Got on the scale and realized that I have gained seven pounds this winter! What the *&%^$ Must have ate like a oinker this past winter. My best times were back a few years when I was a svelte 140. I normally am comfortable at 145. I will watch what I eat and hopefully the weather will allow some good weeks of running. Give me 3 to 4 weeks and I will be there! My wife doesn't like the 145....She thinks I look like a holocaust surviver as it is anyway. | |

Interesting run this afternoon. Got home early from work and the kids were at the school with their snowboards trying to get the dogs to pull them around. They balked at the idea (the dogs) and so I was the next best thing. I am guessing about 5 miles. It felt more like 20. Kids had fun and in a way I had fun too. I guess it is one of the many reasons that I do run. Playing with the kids is a blast! | |

Cool and breezy day. Temperature at the start; a chilly 27 degrees with a steady breeze of 15 mph. It has been real busy the last couple of days. Trying to get caught up on the blog. I have the next couple of days off. Oh the benefits of working for the same corp for so many years.... I am at my max, so I have to take a day or two off every two weeks so I don't lose any vacation time. Wish it was nice outside so I could do more than just run... | |

| Its official, I am sick of winter! 6 degrees this morning and lots of blue sky. It was a death march. Don't know if it was from temps or just laziness. I ran 6 days this week...not quite 40 miles. In the summer time it would be low 60's for miles. Can't seem to motivate myself when it is so blasted cold and miserable outside. Side note: Hanna just rolled her eyes at me when I left this moring. She is pretty tired from yesterday. Or maybe she just didn't want another bath. | |

Ran to work on another chilly morning. Slick conditions and some snow made it so you had better pay attention to every step. GI issues to make things a bit interesting. Luckily, no need to do laundry when I got to work. Okay, too much information!
Nice afternoon.... mid 30's and a good breeze. Felt better than this morning. Picked the pace up a bit towards the end. Haven't ran a good pace for quite a while. I'll just progress like the weather. | |

| 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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

| 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.

Strapped on my hrm and got an idea where I am at with my fitness. Keep plugging away...Easy miles at 8:15 and the rest avg out 7:15ish | |

| I sure hope that I made some gains this week, I'm beat! Great running weather this morning. Temps in the low 40's with just a slight breeze. Ran 4 with Hanna then took her home and tried to get over to the new running store, Teton Running for their group run. I was late and met a few of them along the walk path on Sunnyside. Good week of running. I was able to fit a lot of stuff in this week. Might cut back the miles next week. Wait and see how the body feels this week. | |

| 30 degrees this morning with a slight breeze from the south. 6 miles to work on a great morning. Winds are suppose to howl later this afternoon which might be a problem on the way home. Warmed up for a couple of miles and picked up the pace for the last 3.5. Ran home on a breezy day. Temps about 40ish. First mile was a struggle. Everything went well after that. Sped up my cadence and felt pretty good for most of the run. | |

4 easy miles with Hanna on a cool (40) degree morning with 10mph breeze. Took her home after 4 and then finished up the run to make 8 plus miles this morning. This will be my only run today due to working a double shift today. Co-workers wife had to make a trip to SLC to have her kidney checked out. She had a transplant a while ago and its playing havoc with her right now. Run felt nice this morning. Wish I had more time! | |

Took forever to warm up my old body this morning. Once warmed up the run felt good. Just a bummer that once I was warm it was just a mile to work and I had to get there earlier than normal. Looking forward to the run home this afternoon.
Let's see....I ran in wind, hail, rain, sunshine, and snow today on the way home. The wind was constant. Felt good this afternoon. Wanted to stretch out the run a little longer but I started to feel phantom pains in my left knee. Didn't want to chance anything. Avg pace 8:20 | |

| Took yesterday off for some reason. Can't really think of why, but I did. Ran at the middle school track. Ran easy for the most part, felt pretty good at mile seven so I picked up the pace the last 2 miles. Ran the last two miles in 13:05. Which at this point in my training is pretty good for me. Planning on a 16 to 17 miler with Sheridan up in the foothills tomorrow morning. He is training for the Poky 50. I'll probably slow him down. | |

This will be the only run of the day due to family stuff going on directly after work. Good start to the week. Hope to be in the mid to upper 60's by weeks end. | |

| Temp about 44 degrees and a breeze around 15 mph. Good day for a run except for the fact that my right ankle is a purple and has increased in size. Last night around mile 4 I felt a little discomfort in my ankle but just brushed it off. Well, that was a mistake! I had trouble just walking last night after the run.This morning it felt better but quite tender but swollen and bruised. We have a retired orthopedic surgeon at work and I got the once over from him. He is a runner too, so I felt confident that I would get the green light in a few days. He told me that it was the anterior something tendonitus. We all know the drill. Rest, ice and drugs. I just wonder if I have been putting too many miles too fast. I have felt pretty good overall. I hope that I can resume running shortly. CRAP! | |

| Not the best news. Friday was a difficult day. I took a walk with the dogs and I was limping pretty bad after just a mile. Swelling and constant discomfort.... Saw the doc and was advised to wear the dreaded boot for a couple of weeks. He believes that there is some partial tearing of the tendon and that the only way it will heal is a couple of weeks in the darth vader boot. I wonder if I am going to make it 1 week in this thing. I attended the new running stores grand opening saturday. I left pretty discouraged thinking I won't be able to run for a couple of weeks. Did win three pairs of sweet socks! | |

Rode the bike to work this morning. Windy and cool. After yesterdays attempt at running I realized that my ankle is not up to running anytime soon. It tolerated the bike ride ok so I will stick with that for a while. 10 miles in 30 minutes.
Rode home in some pretty nasty winds. Don't know what I hate more....running in the wind or biking in the wind????? 8 miles in 30 minutes. | |

Had the day off and went for a 30 mile bike ride in some pretty windy weather. Not sure when I am going to try running. I would love to give it a try today.I am concerned how quickly it flared up after just a half a mile on Monday. Time is such a crappy thing for injuries.
Wishing all the moms a happy Mothers Day tomorrow! | |

| Well, it has been a week since I tried running. I ran a big 1/2 mile last monday and this week I managed 1.50. Don't know what to think! I even purchased some new shoes. I thought maybe I needed some additional support so I found a deal on some new Kayano 16. I have run in them before. Well, earlier models. They are heavy but I will use them. I just want to run for an hour but it looks like that won't be happening for a while. Hopefully I stopped before I caused additional problems. I was going to try to run to work this morning and it's a good thing that didn't happen.....It has been raining the last two days so I haven't been able to ride the bike so hopefully I can get some miles in this week. | |

Rode the bike on a cool morning. Good news ..... no rain. Ten miles in about 31 minutes. Ankle is sore this morning. I guess I got on it too quickly. I will get very familiar with the bike in the next few weeks. Pretty bumbed out though. Felt like I was a about ready for the Teton Dam Marathon on the 11 June. Have to see how the rest of the spring and summer goes. I would like to try to run the TOU in September. Just see how things go.
Rode home on a picture perfect afternoon. Temps about 60 degrees and very little wind. 14 miles in 45 minutes and some change. | |

What an afternoon! 70 degrees and just a slight breeze. Rode home and took the long way. A good tempo ride. 20 miles in 58 minutes. Could have been faster but there was so many vehicles out I had to obey traffic signs to a point. | |

Nice to be back at home. Great time with the family. Rode to work this morning. 10 miles on a pretty cool morning. Will ride back and give the ankle a try.
Rode home on a cool afternoon. 14 miles avg 19.8 mph so I am going to call it an even 20. Ran a mile after the ride and only made it 1 lousy mile. Worse than last week were I managed 1 1/2 miles. I am not sure what to think. | |

Nice ride home. 15 miles avg pace at 20.4 Which was pretty good considering that I was riding into a 10mph breeze. Cycling legs are coming back. Hope it helps the running muscles. |

Rode to work on a great morning. 10 miles in about 31 + minutes.
I've been reading a bit about the comparison of cycling vs running. There is quite a bit of information out there. You have the wind resistance of cycling as you excel and gain speed and so on. There are so many factors that I am not going to bother to write it all. I decided to strap on the heart rate monitor and observe heart rate while cycling home today. I took off towards home, I planned on a 20 miler so I took my normal route home. Interesting today the wind was blowing out of the north. My first several miles happened to be directly into the teeth of the wind. 10 to 14 miles per hour. It was difficult to keep the pace up towards 17+. My heart rate approached 90% of maximum. When I got to the point of heading straight south my heart rate dropped to 83% of max but my speed increased to 28mph. Interesting enough my max speed going with the wind was a speedy 33mph. At that point I started to feel lots of wind resistance even though I was going with the wind. Anyway, I finished my 20 miler just under 60 minutes. According to my hear rate monitor I burned just as many calories as a normal hour run for me. Granted the run would be at an easy pace. Just glad to know that I am keeping my fitness during this time of healing. | |

Rode to work this morning. 10 miles at 19.7mph. Enjoying some nice temps for a change! Trying to get use to the idea that it might be some time before I am back into the full swing of running. Might try some inserts, barfoot running is also an option. I've read about that and I am not sure its a valid option. Just doesn't make much sense to me. At this point I am willing to try anything.
15 miles at 21.6mph on a very pleasant afternoon. 10 mph breeze from the south, so I decided to take off south while the legs were fresh. Nice ride! Clipped along pretty good going with the wind. |

| Went for a run this afternoon before all the storm clouds rolled in. Managed a mile and 1/2 before the ankle started up. Pretty frustrated with the whole thing at this point. Wondering if I should just right off this year of running and just cycle and leave it at that. Can't figure out the problem. Not sure if I want to do a MRI. The year started out pretty good with some good consistent weeks of running. | |

| I went to work and the phone book was opened to the physicians section. So I started to thumb through the pages and ended up on the pediatrist section. Thought entered my mind that I ought to give it a try. So like a runner, I looked at all the pictures and adds and made the choice of doctor solely based on if he or she looked like a runner. Well, I didn't get a runner, but I got a fitness guru. He did the normal foot test that I had done weeks ago and gave me the same diagnosis, posterior tibial tendonitis. He wanted me to get back running so he put 5 strips of tape on my foot and told me to try it out. Boy was I skeptical! Managed 4 miles without any issues! At the end of the run I felt a slight bit of discomfort in the ankle. Oh it is nice to blog about a run. I need to start slow and get things totally healed. | |

She didn't have the chance or the ability to cycle durning the last couple of months. She'll bounce back. Ankle felt okay. As I finish up the run, I can feel just a slight tghtness in the ankle. | |

I just can't get too carried away. Maybe 5 or 6 in the morning. | |

Ran to work this morning in some ideal conditions, 45 degrees or so and no wind! At about mile 5 the ankle started to act up a bit. Nothing to the point of swelling or hobbling, but it does feel like I should drop the runs back to 4 to 5 mile range for a while. I am happy with that. It could be worse. Just last week I was thinking I was done for another month or two. | |

| Well, it's been a bit crazy to say the least. Last week I went for a quick run and felt like my tape job was to tight and it was cutting into me. I took it off as soon as I got home and found out that it was a blister not the tape cutting into my foot. The problem is that I found out after I pulled my skin off my foot, about the size of a 50 cent piece. Needless to say it took a while to heal. I headed off to work this morning temps about 40 degrees and no wind. Perfect running weather for this time of year, or for that matter anytime of the year. after 5 miles my tendon started to hurt again. I finished off the run and had a hard time walking the rest of the day. I got home and realized it had swelled up and very tender to the touch. I called the doc and decided to try some orthotics. The tape seemed to work for a brief period of time but not what I would like. I have thought that orthotics were for individuals with low to flat arches. Mine are med to high so I can't figure out what the real issue is. Maybe my arch is just collapsing and just can't handle anything stressfull now. | |

| Ran just three miles this morning before work. Nice morning.... 40's and just a slight breeze. Pain free run for the most part. I can sure tell that it is on the brink of swelling and hurting though. Went to the doc yesterday for orthotic fitting. We will see how that goes in about a week and a half. Hopefully it will help! |

| Easy miles this evening with temps at 75 degrees and no wind. Just a dull ache the last mile. Had my son on the bike and Hanna with me. I have been trying the KT Tape this past week.

| Got up earlier than I wanted. Took adevantage and grabbed Hanna and headed out the door for a quick run. Recovered about 12 hours from last night so I was curious how my ankle would respond. It was about the same. After three miles it started to ache but didn't get any worse so ran another mile for an even 4. These are pretty small steps but so far so good. I will get the orthotics in about a week so we will see how that goes. | |

Woke up to run a Freeman Park with Twinkies (Matt) this morning. 60 degrees and no wind with some clouds. Nice run around the greenbelt. Lots of people setting up for the fireworks. Ankle felt pretty good this morning. Probably just the good conversation with Twinkies. Nice to meet fellow bloggers! Hope to do another run with him again. Happy Fourth FRB | |

Ran with Sheridan this morning. Nice morning with temps in the low 50's and no wind. Big step today! Ran 6.5 miles without any pain. The last little bit was just a bit of discomfort but nothing to major. Put an extra strip of KT Tape for extra support just for kicks and giggles, and that seemed to help.
Just a side note: My daughter competed in the World Jumproping Championships in Washington DC over the weekend and stuck a couple routines and will be coming home as a world champion! They had teams from France, Germany, Spain and Brazil just to name a few not to mention all over the US. I am a proud dad! | |

| Ran with Sheridan again this morning. Temps in the low 50's with no wind and lots of blue sky. 7 + miles with very little ankle pain. Still worried about dumping too much mileage at this point but I am encouraged about my progress. | |

| Just a nice easy run to work this morning. Temps in the 50's I'm guessing and no wind. Felt pretty good till mile 5 or so. What's new???? Hopefully the orthotics will be here today so I can see if that helps. If not, a insiders tip..... I am going through the KTtape like crazy, could be a good thing to invest in. | |

Had to work early this morning so the AM run was out of the question. Got home and went for a run in the afternoon. Yuck! 80 degrees and lots of humidity. That's what I get for running strictly in the morning. 6 hard miles due to the heat. No issues with the ptt. Hopefully past a big hurdle.
\Channel 6 called today and have set up an interview with my daughter today. They are coming over to the house and then to the gym. If you want to see a 16 year old move fast to clean up her room..... just tell them that the evening news is going to do an interview and you will get results. She is excited along with her parents. I will post when it will be on tv. Hopefully they well have a link on their website and some of you non Idaho residents can view it. | |

http://fb.me/14Hyjd77p Hey guys. This is the link to my daughters interview. They didn't do much justice to all the cool things jumpropers do, but my daughter looks cute!
Ran later in the everning to avoid the Idaho heat. Started the run at 8:15pm and had a nice cool breeze to deal with. Temps were still about 80 or so but didn't feel like it. No issues with ptt! So I ordered the orthotics and I am waiting for them with mixed feelings. I am such a tight wad! I guess they will be a good insurance while it totally heals. But then on the other hand, I could sure use that money for other things.... | |

Nice morning! Just that good ole Idaho summer morning weather thing going on. 50 or so and no wind. Just wish that I could go farther. I am grateful that I can run everyday now. Tuesday I get the orthotics and maybe that will help even more. Out of the week of running, I think that I had 3 days of no effects of ptt and the other 3 it would hit me about mile 5 or so. I would have to look, but I think that it was the last of April that I ran a 18 miler and felt ok. Its just like starting over.
Okay, I did look it up. The first week of April I ran 68 miles and 50 something the second and on the third week I ran 64 miles. Seems like I have been recovering and suffering alot longer than that! | |

| Difficult run this morning due to gi issues! Arghh! Otherwise just easy miles today with temps quite warm for an Idaho morning. 60 plus degrees and a nice breeze. On the plus side, my legs did feel better and stronger. Tuesday I get the inserts and I am hopeful I can continue with pain free runs..... only longer. | |

Ran in the afternoon with temps around 83 degrees and a nice breeze. Still, it is a bit warm for me but I hacked out the run. I had to be at work early this morning so I didn't get the run in early. A pain free run today! I did get my inserts today so I will try them out in the morning. I will for go the KTTape and see if the inserts make the difference. For the price they should do the laundry and mow the lawn.

| Nice morning with temps in the low 50's and a nice breeze. Ran with the new inserts and didn't feel them after 2 miles. All 7 miles were pain free so we are making some progress! Can't believe how much they want for them. Oh well, if they help they will be well worth it. Ran a few miles at marathon pace which felt good for a change. | |

Temp around 52 or so..... no wind and lots of blue sky once the sun came out. Ran to work this morning. Just a slight bit of pain in the ankle after 6 miles so I cut the run a little short and went to work earlier. I might tape up along with the inserts tomorrow and see if that helps me go a little further. All in all I am pleased. Some muscle soreness in my lower legs and I believe that is from the orthotics. I think that they would drive me crazy if I walked in them. Running is just fine. Avg pace 8:15 for the run.
No ride home today so I decided to run....that was my only option. Pleasantly surprised on how the ankle felt. Pain free miles and felt ok. Temps in the low 80's and a very nice breeze to help me tolerate the summer heat. Wow.... I might be in the 40's for mileage by the end of the week. Its about time! | |

| Ran in the evening with temps at 78 degrees. Okay, I'm not as use to the orthotics as I would like to be. I'm going to try to run half my miles with them next week. I might be putting too much mileage on them to start with. The doctor did say to slowly run in them. I guess 26 miles in 3 days isn't what he had in mind. | |

Hoping that next week I will have some life in the legs. No orthotics today, just the KTTape. Trouble free miles. I just need to get the power back into the legs. | |

| Ran to work this morning with temps around 63 degrees. About half way there, I noticed I was being followed by a young high school runner. He was gaining on me and something kicked in! I picked it up a bit knowing that I haven't ran anything fast for such a long time, thinking that I might crash. I was mistaken! I dropped the kid and finished off the run feeling pretty darn good for a change. Hopefully the rest of the week will be like today. | |

| Got up early and ran up sunnyside and over to 21st. Nice morning, but my legs felt heavy again. I didn't run with the inserts the last two days. I think I am recovering from the last two runs with them. All in all, a nice week. Slowly getting back into the swing of things. PTT seems to have healed up nicely. I will play it safe for a few more weeks before a bump up the mileage. | |

We received her flight plans and we are thinking that she is going to come home know. Not sure she wants to but she has family that misses her. | |

Ran to work on a beautiful morning. Temps in the low 50's to start. Hopefully taking a quick run at lunch around the greenbelt. Looking forward to my daughters email from DC. She had a hurricane and earthquake to deal with last week. Hoping she is doing well!
Quick run at lunch on a warm pleasant afternoon. I heard from my daughter in DC. They had an earthquake last year some time that was 2 something and it woke her up. This one last week was 5.8 and she was riding her bike and she didn't feel a thing. Her comment on the hurricane ........ It blows like this in Idaho..... Doesn't rain like this..............Glad that she is safe and back at it.

Interesting today I ran past a couple that were biking on the pathway. I'm not fast, but I blew past them like they were frozen. I don't understand the concept of riding a bike that slow.

Out the door at 4:45 this morning. Temps at 48 degrees. Just perfect...... so I thought until I came across a fellow runner that was dressed quite differently that I was. Mittens, stocking cap, and other attire covered his running torso...... Probably some migrating Texan.......
Ran home on a warm (80) afternoon. Nothing special here, just getting some miles in. Lots of cars honking at me. Interesting how motorists get annoyed at some runner invading their space. Morons.... | |

Received a call this morning at 3:30. Co-worker needed a shift covered so he called me. I decided to run in even though it was a bit early for me. Out the door at 3:55am! That's early! 5 1/2 mile warm up and then a nice half mile run. It took forever to get the legs going this morning. We had some friends drop in last night. They are dropping their daughter off at BYUI so we put them up for the night. Up late chatting with them. Good thing I am off the rest of the week.
Ran home with temps right around 80. I am ready for a nap. | |

Easy miles running to work this morning. Nice out, with temps in the low 50's and very little wind. Might run home later...... not sure. I am getting a light twinge in my ankle and don't know if it is a phantom pain or the real thing...
Not much was happening after work so I had my daughter drive me up the hill and I ran back home and around for a 8.5 mile run. Ankle felt fine.... phantom pains I guess. This has been a good week for me with mileage. Hope to beable to keep this up for a while. | |

Pretty warm morning compared to what we have been having lately. Mid 50's at 5:50AM/ Ran to work and had no issues with the ITBand. Happy about that. Also, happy that the Sox won a game last night. Seems like they are trying to throw it all away.

Tried a little faster cadence on the way to work and noticed that I was a bit quicker with not as much effort. Have to remember how it feels. With my polar gadget, I was at 96 strides per minute. Seemed to work for me today. | |

| Ran with Sheridan this morning. About 46 degrees and dark when we started. Ran up the foothills. Elevation climb at 800ft. Legs felt good today due to no running the past two days. I think that the time off (wed, thurs) was a good thing. I was feeling real sluggish. I think that I was trying to jump back into it too quickly. Wish my mileage was higher this week, but I feel good about todays run. Something to build on.....I hope. | |

| Up at 4am..... not to run, but to go to Henrys Lake for some fall fishing. Fishing was slow..... one thing though, we were pumping up the pontoon boats and all three of my friends were so tired that I ended up pumping all three pontoon boats up. Fat fisherman! They had a steady diet of Snickers and licorice whips and Mountain Dew at 5am. Ughhh! Got home at 5pm and wanted to take a nap but went out for a 6 mile run.Weather was perfect. 70 degrees and a breeze out of the S. 8:20 avg pace I didn't get tired pumping up the boats....... did strain my neck and shoulder. I can hardly move my left side. | |

| 66 degrees and no wind, and it was light outside when I started at 5am. Okay, I was on the treadmill this morning. We put it together last night and my kids got first dibs on it. So I thought I had better give it go this morning. The ifit is a nice feature and I plugged in my running route up sunnyside and down scenic dr and home. It adjusted to the elevation changes. avg pace 8:10 | |

| Interesting day! It started out raining and by noon it was a nasty snow storm. I'm guessing that it snowed a good couple of inches today and its still snowing. Didn't know that I would be reaping the benefits of my new purchase so soon. Ran ten miles in Yellowstone National Park this afternoon. Traffic was light and didn't see any animals to speak of. Ha HA! 10 miles @ 8:20 | |

Avg pace for the run 8:15 The last 5 miles avg pace 7:35 per mile.Wore my heart rate monitor this run to see how my hr was doing. I was around 155 to 162 during the last 5 so I do have some room to improve. Pleased overall. I did take a fall at work and took a bunch of skin off my shin. The run loosened up the aches though. | |

Nice day today! Low 50's and blue sky. It looks like all the snow is gone! Sheridan skipped out on me today so I ran alone as usual. 10 miles at avg pace of 8:15. Missed a day this week, other than that I am pleased with the week. The main thing is that I have no running injuries. |

Up at 5am and ran to work on a very cool but nice morning. Temps were hovering around 32 degrees and no wind. Pretty dark out, a sign of things to come. Legs felt strong this morning and hopefully will continue for the run home. Fall is here!
Ran home on a cloudy afternoon with temps I think about 50 degrees or so. Felt real good today running home. | |

Legs aren't fatigued like last week. I think that my base is built back up partially. I don't feel like it was in April-May but its getting closer. Just in time for crappy weather! | |

| Spent the last two day at Henry's Lake on a fishing trip with a friend. Had a great time! No time for running. Up early and fished till dark and was just worn out. Back at it today and had a nice run around town and around the greenbelt this early afternoon. Temps were hanging around 60 degrees. Just a very pleasant day. Didn't need to help my friend with the inflation of his pontoon boat, so no cross training this fishing trip. Avg pace for the run 8:05 for the run. | |

| Up at 3am to head to work this morning. Went home at noon and went for a run up sunnyside road. Nice temps today around 50 degrees and very little wind. I'm starting to feel like I'm a runner again after my injury filled summer. Think I'll start throwing in some tempo runs during the next couple of weeks and see if I can get my speed up. Legs feel fresh and ready to roll. | |

It's going to be a work in progress. 1/2 mile repeats were at a 7:00 pace. Need to start slowly..... still a bit concerned over another injury. Legs still feel good. Great weather today in Idaho.... no wind and sun! Nothing was going on at home so I did a hill workout on the treadmill. Just 2.25 miles. Nothing special, just getting in a few more miles. |

Right now my easy runs tend to run in the 8:20 to 8:30 range. Maybe I'm running too many junk miles and I'm not sure what the heck I'm doing! |

I would pick it up for a bit and then back off. The 7:40 pace felt comfortable. Don't know how long I can maintain that.......... maybe try thurs or friday to hold it for 10 or 12 miles and see how it feels. Happy with the progress. | |

Started at 6:45am and finished up at 1:30pm. The shortest sunday I have had in 2 1/2 years. Got a good nap and watched the Marx Bros in the evening. Are there any Coldplay fans out there?

Cool and breezy out and my son was sick so he watched some tv while I ran. 1 mile warm up and then ran 8 miles at 7:40 and cooled down with an easy mile. Felt good considering I ate a bunch of Twix bars last night and some thin crust pizza. On a side note...... our 50 pound pumpkin survived Halloween still intact. | |

After the 6:28 mile I felt just fine and felt like I could have kept the pace up for awhile. Slowed it down to run hard another day. Overall felt good this afternoon and legs responded ok.

Heading out later today after work. Had some crappy news yesterday. I have been experiencing some discomfort in my fingers for a few months and thought that it might be time to get things checked out by a medical professional. Having difficulties doing the simple tasks. Just a side note, I did diagnose my ailments on the internet. Anyway, I have osteorthritis. Wait, isn't that for old dudes! Guess not, or maybe I am an old dude. Doc came up with some treatment but none that I cared for. I don't care to take medications..... my brother is even a pharmicist. I did some additional reading on the subject and found that some people get results from staying away from certain foods. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are also some possiblilties for relief. Most medical personel tell you 'no' with the supplements...... I think that they have some stock in the drug companies. Luckily it is just in my fingers and isn't present in any other joints. Didn't think that I would be dealing with this at the age of cough, cough, 48.
Ran on the treadmill after work. Set the incline at 5 and just roughed it out. Felt good today and as far as the week is concerned...... a good one overall. Avg pace 8:30 |

Managed to get the run in and felt good doing it! I'm off the rest of the week to catch up with a few things. Should be a good mileage week. Saturday is out due to church commitments from 6am till 9pm, so I'm hoping for good mileage the rest of the week. | |

So running has been injury free which feels great. Tomorrow will be about the same. It has been cool and windy the past couple of days. Hope to get out before the wind howls. |

Nice run this morning on the treadmill. 4 easy miles to start with and then finished up the last 6 or so at 7:45 pace. Hoping to get out this afternoon for a quick run at lunch with a friend from high school who just took up running.
Since I have been running on the tm, my dog Hanna comes down stairs and sits by the treadmill and sleeps while I run. I need to get her back out. Maybe the cadence helps her sleep???? | |

So, I get home today after work and figure I can get a nice run in before dark. My wife was painting something in the garage and told me that she was glad to see me and to get changed. ???? Duh! I walked into the house and all the furniture in the kitchen and living room was moved to the center and there on a drop cloth ......... 3 gallons of paint in assorted colors. What??? My daughter will be coming home in 16 days from her mission and my wife thinks it's time to redecorate! Finished up at 11:30pm with round 1.
Round 2 started at 1pm after I went into work early. 3:30am early! It is 11:30 and I am just about finished. Just waiting for some paint to dry and put a second coat on. Changing colors is a royal pain! I am running tomorrow morning hopefully! Wanted to run the local 10k with Twinkies, but we will see what happens. Do you think my daughter will even know that we painted? Anyone know the ratio of miles per trips up and down ladders? I need to do a conversion! Happy Turkey Day everyone! | |

| Tried to salvage some sort of a week today. Ran 15 + miles up the foothills and back on a very nice but cool day. Started at 37 degrees and finished up around 30 or so. Ran with Sheridan and had a great time visiting about life. Home projects are completed for the most part, so hopefully I will be back to my normal weeks of running. This was a good run for me today. I haven't been this far since earlier in the year before my injury. | |

| It snowed today and I didn't feel like running in the slush so opted for the tm. This run was split up with an hour break between run. First 7 miles were at 8:05 pace and felt pretty relaxed. The last 4.7 averaged out to 7:40 pace. I tried to find some sort of clothing item that had a resemblance to orange, but no such luck. Don't know how hard I will try to find something like that but we will see. I'm not ready for winter. There is a couple of inches of snow on the ground so I think that cycling is out for a while and my motorcycle should be put away for sure. |

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. |

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! |
