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!

Horray!!!!

See you Saturday? Keep me posted...

Plus Pocatello is 50% full already...

Glad to hear.

Just don't come back too quick. I would suggest several weeks until you do 10+ miles...

I'm probably out on Pocatello...no way I'll be ready by then. But next year, I want to do the 50. How do ya like those bananas? I also don't know about Saturday. Still taking it really easy, but I'm definitely feeling the lack of fitness, so we'll see where I'm at then.

I like bananas.

Pocatello has a 20 mile and 50K option as well. I have no doubts you can be ready for those...Its nearly 6 months away. I predict you could do the 50 mile just fine as well...
