From SlowJoe on Fri, Jan 04, 2013 at 08:11:49 from 155.219.241.10

Yikes! I had to do some training in Fairbanks, AK one time in December...once it gets down to -10 and -20, I just start choking on the air! Maybe y'all are used to it though, but it's like it freezes the back of your throat or something and makes you cough. Not good for running....the TM was a good buy, for sure.

Keep running strong!

Nice training on the treadmill. I only tried to venture outside once this week it almost killed me. I made one mile and my abs were spasming. That was a first for me. Felt like a bad side stitch. I couldn't hardly catch my breath. I learned not to try to be a hero.

IJR. I'm pathetic.....this is my third time through the entire seasons. I'm finishing 7 up today after my run and only have 8 left. It doesn't take long when you have cold temps out and run in the tm...

Finished up with Bones... That one is good too.

From Tara on Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 09:17:03 from 75.169.139.227

Very nice Ryan. That gives me a little motivation...I need to push it on the TM! Don't you think it's hard when your watching something you enjoy? Maybe watching shows is only good for getting an easy run in, and music for tempo! Good boy.

From Tara on Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 09:19:58 from 75.169.139.227

BTW, Jim is wanting to run a half marathon this spring/summer. The Idaho Falls half in June looks good. Sheridan, Jim, you, me...let's do it. Have you ran that one? Is the course decent? No crazy downhill or uphill for Jim.

From Rye on Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 09:56:54 from 65.129.74.135

Joe...sleep? whats that!

IJR...Yeah, I'm thinking its time...

Summertime...Guess that is one of the reasons I purchased the tm...when life gets crazy and you finally have some time, even if it is late in the evening, I can still pull it off.

Tara, not sure on that course. I think that it is relatively flat. Probably should check it out. That's great that Jim wants to do that. He has done such a great job with his weight. I find that I can kick out tempo runs watching some shows..Movies are a sure fire slow pace deal. I still listen to music on interval days. These conditions have been pretty nasty.

Attempted to run outside but between the slush and slipping I cut it short and finished off the run on the tm. 7 untimed minutes today.

Had some time between studying and felt like running more of a structured workout. 1 mile mp and 3.5 at threshold....seemed like between 5k and 10k pace...no time just by feel today...

No kidding, you ran outside in that? I didn't know it was possible, wouldn't you get frostbite in your lung lobes or something? That is some hardcore stuff, especially for 10 miles, unbelievable.

You ran outside in that weather! It hurt just to walk outside in it this morning. And you said I'm nuts. Nice job on keeping up the mileage through this cold snap that won't end.

I was a little worried about snow this morning when I got up to run, then I looked at the temperature and it said 70 degrees so I took off my shirt before going out to run :-)

1"=1mile per 20ft of driveway maybe a bit less with the wetness of the snow. I can't believe I'm working and not at Targhee today.

Slowjoe...I know for runners we don't get to close to "weights" I'm trying to mix things up a bit...Tweaked my lower back up a couple of weeks ago and I think that I need to add some strenght to my whimpy body..

Sounds like a pretty obnoxious injury. Hopefully the doc can square you away. Good to see you're still at it.

Verdict is in .........meniscus issues along with a knee cap that is not aligned.....severe case of runners knee.... I thought I could work through the runners knee, though it has been getting worse the past couple of years....meniscus needs to get fixed. I'm out of St George for sure. Just trying to figure the best time to did it. Life just happens.

Wish I could do St. George:( just trying to keep from getting my knee cap reconstructed. Meniscus will need to be repaired for sure though. Trying to stay in shape some before surgery. Probably late Fall for the meniscus surgery. Doc recommended quad strengthening to eliminate the poor tracking of the knee cap. I'm a work in progress.

I've been running for 2 1/2 weeks.....going by time only. I've been able to build up to one hour as of today. Taking it slow and easy......It's good to be at it again. Knee feels better but sore. I suppose that is to be expected. Avoided the knee cap restructure. That would have been another 6 weeks of nothing. Now to get the mileage back.
