Got a later start than I hoped too. A light snow with little to no wind but it felt cold. The last 2 miles were earned the hard way. My stomache has been churning most of the day. I guess that is night shifts for you. Glad to be done with the run.

Afternoon run finishing in a light rain. Felt really good and was hoping to go further but I promised to be home before dark. Hard to believe it gets dark before 5pm. Not that I am complaining when I have been running on dry roads in December.

Treadmill miles at work. Really had a good sweat going. Felt really good until the last mile. Just didn't have enough in the tank when I started.

I took yesterday off feeling run down and the right ankle was a bit sore from the shoes I ran in at work. Woke up this morning feeling good so I headed out. Felt great through out the run. The temp was perfect and for once I didn't overdress. Still hard to believe this weather we are having.

Ran these miles early this morning before we headed down to Utah to see the lights at Temple Square. Got home in time for a quick shower before we headed out. Quick day trip.

Headed out on the run a little later than I had originally planned. The weather was nice again and I felt really good. The legs felt fresh which surprised after the time spent in the car yesterday. The sunset was amazing today as I cut across Foothill rd.

After taking two days off to recover from stomache cramps where I was leery of straying too far from the house; I felt ready to run. The weather was awesome and the roads were pretty much dry. It was a great run and I felt good after. Hopefully the stomache issues are a thing of the past.

Nice day to run with the sun out. Ended up cutting the run shorter then I originally planned so I could take a nap before work tonight.

started off this run not really feeling it. Almost talked myself out of putting in any miles . After a couple of miles I fell into my rhythm. Was a bit cold. Glad I brought my heavier running jacket.

Started off running with the group run from Bill's Bike and Run around the group run around the Green belt. After a few miles with them I went around the Green Belt and Freeman Park on my own to get a few more miles in. After taking yesterday off as a rest day/recover from working nights I decided a longer run was needed. Not a bad morning to run with temps in the 30's. Began to snow as I was finishing up so it was perfect timing. It was nice to not battle traffic.

Great day for a run. It looked like it should be a spring day instead of the end of December. Woke up early this morning with the intention of getting my run in early but i wasn't feeling it. My kids have passed on their cold to me and I woke up feeling it. Waited until the afternoon to head out. I actually felt better than I expected. I decided I was going to run 10 miles but when I turned to take Lincoln rd. home cows were being moved between pastures so I decided to avoid the wait and added two extra miles. Only in Idaho would cows be an issue out running.

Still fighting the cold but I seem to be maintaining my health. Started off not feeling like tackling the treadmill miles but I found my zone. Still feeling run down with the chest congestion.

I'm going to call this a recovery run. I am definitely feeling this cold in my chest. More treadmill miles at work.

After taking two days off to try and get on top of this cold I have not been able to kick I felt ready to run. My brother Scott was in town for the holidays so he agreed to go to Bill's Bike and Run group run with me this morning. It was unreal how cold it was. Temps were in the single digits. It was a great run though and it was good to catch up with Scott since I was not really able to spend a ton of time with him due to work.

Ran around the Green belt, Freeman Park, Sunnyside loop this afternoon. Ended up running around Freeman a couple of extra times to gain a few miles. It was sheltered from the wind better then the rest of the loop. I was bundled up pretty well trying to protect myself from that north wind. Looks like the cold is here to stay for a while.

Treadmill miles today in my basement. Way to cold to try to run outside. Felt a lot better then I have. Ended up watching the documentary The Armstrong Lie and the miles fell away pretty fast. Picked up the last 2 miles and was able to hold the pace.
