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!

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.
