| Well, folks, I'm BAAAACK! Hopefully for good. Went on a short "easy" run today along the BST from Green Canyon to First Dam and back. I put "easy" in quotations because 4 miles at 8:45 pace *should* feel easy. But, I am out of shape! I was sucking wind like I was running an all-out 10k. I guess that's what 6 weeks of not running plus another 2-3 of almost not running will do to you, I suppose. Hopefully I can get back to feeling normal sooner rather than later, but I will continue to take it easy for a little while. The best news is there was no pain at all in the IT band area, and I'm writing this the next morning so that includes after the run. I guess there are no guarantees just yet, but early indications are hopeful. Here's hoping for a great 2012. Happy New Year everyone! 35:18 (8:45/mi.)

| Easy run today. Felt a lot more natural and not as painful as yesterday. Still no pain in the IT band, though there was a lot of general soreness all over. To be expected. 21:26 (7:40/mi.)

| Quick loop around campus. Beautiful day for a run. 45 degrees and sunny. This feels more like a Southern Utah winter than a Cache Valley one. I can't say I'm complaining, especially after last winter's polar adventure. 20:15 (8:06/mi.)

| Fantastic run today. Hit Green Canyon for a somewhat icy but very enjoyable run. Today is the first day I have really felt much like myself since getting back in the saddle. Green was surprisingly runnable, though I did take one good spill and have a nice scrape on my thigh and a sore wrist to show for it. Totally worth it though. Time was very slow, but the ice and me still taking it very cautiously are to blame for that. No pain still, and I'm beginning to become a little more confident. 43:05 (10:05/mi.)

| Felt good again today. Went out with a nice soft blanket of snow. Still a beautiful day, but it actually looked like winter is supposed to look here. Update on my "sore wrist" from last night: Turns out I think I sprained it or at least just jammed it really good. I don't think it's too bad but it started killing me late last night so I wrapped it up good and rubbed it down with some icy hot. Well, I'd rather mess up my wrist than my leg. You don't need wrists to run. haha. 34:28 (7:56/mi.)

| Another post-injury distance PR. Still no pain. I'm beginning to hope I'm out of the woods. We'll see how it feels tomorrow. Canyon road loop on a nice crisp January afternoon. My pace has been getting a little faster too, not that I'm trying to push things, but I think the natural flow is coming back a little bit, although it will be awhile before I feel like I'm anywhere near race shape. 46:47 (7:29/mi.)

| Didn't plan very well today, so I didn't have time for a run. No worry though. I'm over on my miles for the week anyway. |

LRT to Third Dam with Cody. It was good to get back out with him. Trail was perfect. Snowy, but smooth and soft. Felt really good today. Still no pain. Spent the rest of the morning glued to the computer following the various live feeds of the Trials Marathon. Disappointingly, the live splits crapped out at mile 8 for some unknown reason (probably couldn't handle sub 2:10 pace), and the live blogs only talked about the leaders so I have no idea how Paul did. Hope he did well.

| Got some more trail miles in on the LRT. That trail is as perfect as a trail can be in the winter. Packed snow, with a couple of inches of soft powder on top, and zero ice. Enjoyed my run today. 1:00:55 (8:49/mi.)

| Just a loop around campus today. Nothing too big, but I did try to run a little faster. My Garmin battery died, so I don't know exactly how fast it was, but it felt good. Still no pain whatsoever in the IT band. I don't know at what point I'm going to be satisfied, but over two weeks of running with zero pain has got to be encouraging. |

| Deer Fence. Snow has turned to rain and there is hardly any snow on the ground and it was actually fairly warm today. YES!!! The trail was pretty icy in some spots, but it was quickly melting and there was always a muddy patch to run on. Still pretty slow going, but it was a great workout anyway.

| Deer Fence again. A couple of the Padawans wanted to go on a muddy trail run, and I delivered. It was very, very muddy. They chickened out at Providence Canyon, so we went back on the roads. It was pretty cold and very wet though, so I can't blame them too much. I was just as well because for some reason I wasn't feeling well. I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me at breakfast because I tossed my cookies later that day and felt better after that. Enjoyable run, considering the weather. I keep forgetting to turn my Garmin off, so it quit after about 8 miles so I don't have a time. It was slow though.

Easy run just out around town in a snowstorm. The interesting highlight of the run was helping to prevent a big pileup on the steep hill on 12th East near campus by waving my arms at people to slow down so they didn't hit the cars that had slid off before they could see them. There are some places you just shouldn't drive in snowstorms, and there are some idiots who insist that 40 mph is ok going down a steep hill in a snowstorm. Oh well. It made for an interesting bit of running at least. 59:39 (7:27/mi.)

| Sick since Tuesday night. Thought it was just the 24 hour bug, but now I've got a sore throat and cough which by all indications has decided to camp out for awhile. Not excited about that. I tried about 5 miles Saturday (writing Sunday) but it did more harm than good. Will try to get back to normal. Gosh darn this is frustrating! Not sick enough to miss school (well, I probably should to keep everyone else healthy, but I can't afford to) or work, but sick enough that I can't run and I feel like poo, at night especially. |
