| Green Canyon. Note to self: Don't go running up one of the canyons when the wind is blowing and the resulting windchill factor is -10. I did fine and just took it slow for most of the run. Got a little cold in the last mile or two, but wasn't too worried. I was bundled up pretty good. However, as soon as I quit running and walked into my apartment my body temperature plummeted and I had to lay around with my feet up for a few minutes to try and get some warm blood back into my core. As soon as I felt I could stand up without falling over I took a hot shower and was fine after that. But I won't be doing any more long runs in those conditions any time soon again if I can help it. But I guess what doesn't kill ya makes ya tougher, eh? 1:45:46 (8:04/mi.)

| This afternoon I went 8.6 miles at an easy pace just around the regular North Logan Loop. Temps were cold, but it wasn't windy like yesterday and it was sunny out, so not a hypothermic run like yesterday. 1:00:18 (7:04/mi.) Evening: When I went to leave for work, my car refused to start, even when I tried to jump it, so I had to get a ride to work and consequently was left with no way home, even though I tried to get a ride. I was in a hurry to get to the basketball game, so I just ran. 2 more miles in my trashed dress shoes that I have relegated to Kmart only. Surprisingly, I still have my feet.

| Fantastic run this evening. Started out slow, but I was feeling great so I just kept getting faster and faster. Last couple of miles were pushing sub-6:00 pace. Runners high. Additionally, I think I have turned a corner in my training since TOU. On flat ground, my stride tends to naturally gravitate to a pace somewhere between 6:30 and 6:50--even if I'm tired already. It just feels very relaxing to me. This is better than I was even last summer. This week I have felt almost no fatigue at all on any of my runs. I think I'm ready to start doing some Big Workouts again. I will do one next week and see how it feels. It is great to be in shape again! 1:19:44 (6:38/mi.)

| Easy run. Pace was still good though, I just felt really good again today, although I didn't try at all to push things. This week has been awesome. Looking forward to tomorrow's run. Unfortunately, Cody will be MIA due to possible strep, so I'll be by myself. 58:48 (7:00/mi.)

Long run. Deer Fence, I think almost all the way to Blacksmith Fork. Scared up dozens of deer, including a herd of probably 20-25 of them with a nice 4-point. Tried my hand at aboriginal deer hunting (running them down) and decided that it is totally feasible. One group I was "chasing" (they were too dumb to go anywhere but along the trail--on the other side of the fence) for about 2 miles and they let me get closer every time they stopped. Also saw 2-4 dead deer carcasses. Gross. Tough run. Those steep rolling hills just kill you when you're going for that distance. It was a very good workout, though. 2:43:44 (8:10/mi.)

Just checking in. I have pretty much been flat on my back with a NASTY case of the flu since Monday evening. I probably won't run the rest of this week. I've been pounding Emergen-C and Tussin for the last day or two and that has really seemed to help but I'm nowhere near recovered yet. I did make it to all of my classes today though, so that is progress. I think I must have caught it on Saturday at the basketball game when I was fatigued from that 20 miler, because usually I don't catch stuff even if I am exposed. Oh well though. Hopefully I'll be ready to run again next week.

Update: Feeling about 90% right now. Could probably have gotten away with a run today--in fact it might have helped to clear out the leftover gunk from my sinuses and chest, but I want to make sure I'm not only out of the woods, but also over the river, down the highway, and safely back home in bed before I attempt anything even mildly strenuous. I do not want to repeat that again. But I should be good to go for next week. I need to rebound fast, with a marathon coming up in 6 weeks.

| First run back. Felt surprisingly good. Muscles got a little tired towards the end, but that was probably to be expected. I do have a residual cough, which flared up after I got done (also expected) but that's all that's left of being sick. Hoping to get back into the swing this week and then hit it hard again next week. 1:28:26 (7:09/mi.)

| Longer run (not a "long" run, because I'm still being ginger after last week). Fresh snow. Battery was dead on my Garmin because I forgot to charge it for like a week, but I kinda just wanted to go out and run anyway. It was beautiful. Quiet. Very enjoyable run. |

Easy run with my friend Jamie. Beautiful day, and fresh snow. 1:08:33 (8:26/mi.) Later: 2 miles from Kmart because it was faster than finding a ride and I was on a schedule.

| Longer run today. Didn't have a whole lot of energy, so it was pretty slow at times. Also a hilly course. But I made respectable time. 1:47:34 (7:09/mi.)

| Faster run today. Pushed especially hard the last mile and a half. Felt really good. I was pretty tired yesterday after my run, but I felt fresh and ready to go today. Good sign. 57:39 (6:51/mi.)

| Easy 12 miler. Can't wait until the days are longer and the weather warmer. I am getting tired of frigid night runs.

| Long run. Felt pretty good. Lots of fresh snow on the ground--probably about a foot average, although some places had it up to the bottom of the top rail of people's fences, and other places only had a few inches. I went partway up the River Trail just to see how much snow there was, but I turned around when the snow got thigh deep--I wasn't going to buck that for 20 miles. It was a gorgeous morning and everyone was out digging out from the snow. Very picturesque. Enjoyable run. 2:39:02 (7:56/mi.)

| Felt fantastic today! No fatigue from Saturday at all. I felt very relaxed, light, and fast. I didn't think I was working very hard, but then I would look down at my watch and see my pace was 6:30 or 6:15 or something but it didn't even feel hard. Got faster and faster as the run went on. Good day! 1:07:13 (6:41/mi.)
