Run Far

Great day to run. Ryan and I waited for the warmest part of the day to run. It was good to get together and get a run in. It is also good to be back on the blog. In my defense I have been running I just have been having computer issues. the wife and I finally gave up on it and just bought a new one. You could say we were due for a new one.

Was able to run at work on the treadmill.

Was luck to get these miles in, work has been a zoo. Luck I have a few days off. Although it sounds like the weather is going to be nasty. I guess that is why I bought a treadmill.

Just me and Jack Bauer from 24 down in the basement on the old treadmill.

More treadmill miles. Had to sneak down in the basement while my daughter was taking her nap. Hard to get the miles in while I am "parenting."

Really started doggin it the last 3 miles. I think I push it harder on the treadmill than I do out on the road. I felt pretty hammered I dont know if it was all physical I think 24 season 2 has been wearing me out too.

Decided to go out and battle the elements. When I heared Ryan had logged in 18+ miles on the treadmill I thought I had better get serious. Im still blown away by that number. The weather broke around 1pm so I headed out. Freezing rain across the top and some wind made it a little more difficult than I would have liked but I finished. I have wanted to run this loop since I moved out here over a year ago. Next time I will just pick a better day to do it again.

Any one familiar with the area I took off from my house ran up Lincoln road until it connected to the Bone road and ran on the bone road until it connected to Sunnyside. I followed Sunnyside past the Bonneville dump and headed home. It was a good Hilly run.

Took it easy on the treadmill. Taped up the old nips. Still alittle sore from saturdays run.

Looks like winter is here, at least for a couple of days. Ran on the treadmill.

Pushed it on the treadmill at work. Felt good to get a good sweat going.

Woke up after sleeping for a couple hours and tried to run when it was the warmest part of the day. Actually felt pretty good. One more night at work!

Ran outside when I got home from work this morning. Did my twelve mile loop and finished with four on the treadmill. It looked nice outside but there was a definite cold breeze.

Averaged just under 7:30 minute miles for the twelve miles. I felt pretty good about it since I ran up in the foothills. Felt really good. It was cooler today but little to no wind.

Tried to really push it since I have not been able to log in as many miles as I would like.

Working days so I have struggled to find time to run.

Treadmill miles. Last day of day shifts at work so I am hoping to have a higher mileage week to redeem myself. 

Awesome day outside had to get out once I finished all my honey do's.

My daughter was having more fun throwing things on the treadmill than I think I was trying to knock out some miles. I cant admit it to my wife but it is really hard to watch a kid and get anything done. But I have to admit she is pretty cute trying to run beside me on the ground.

Not a bad day outside. I have had to wait to do my runs while my wife slept she has been on nights so I have been doing the parenting.

My wife is off of night and I am about to start my set of nights tonight so I thought I would get out. Not super warm out (mid 30's it feels like) not to much wind. Nothing special, my ankle finally feels 100 percent. I think today out running I decided I need to sign up for a race!

Not a day to run outside. I decided when I woke up that it was definetly a treadmill day. It is days like today that I am glad I finally broke down and bought one.

Ran outside. It looked alittle overcast but there was little to no wind. Temperture was perfect for a run. I'm glad I didn't talk myself out of the run.

Got home from running and found out my new shoes had arrived.

Windy and cold today. I wish the weather would make up its mind.

Ran outside and it was cold. I thought I should have stayed indoors but I wanted one more run in before I go back to work tomorrow. Missed yesterday do to a trip to Utah.

Only had a short workout time so I felt like I needed to push it. Cooled down on the spinner.

Seven miles outside and finished the last three on the treadmill. I have been worried about the ear infection.

Mr mom tonight while the wife worked. Eight miles was pushing my daughters attention span. Glad to have the treadmill with the 50 mile per hour winds today.

Was able to get outside and run. I feel like I have been trapped in the house.

Decided to get out this afternoon since there was no wind. A little cool but felt great climbing some hills. Got to try out my new Saucony running top. Should be seen from a mile away since it is bright orange.

Had to work today so I ran a few on the treadmill and finished on the eliptical for 30 minutes. The eliptical kicked my hind end literally. I am sore.

Waited to long to go out and run today. The Idaho wind picked up this afternoon about the time I stepped out the door. But the sun was out today and it was in the low 50s, so its hard to complain.

Treadmill miles. Do I need to say anything else.

Treadmill miles.

It was such a nice fall day I had to get out before church for a run.

Got home later than I expected. Had to run a few on the treadmill. Spent the day framing and it wore me out.

The best fall day so far. The weather was unbelievable. Got the christmas lights on the house and was able to break away for a run. Who would have thought that on the sixth of November we would be running in shorts and a short sleeve shirt! Felt awesome. 

A little windy today. Felt like most of the run was fighting head wind. Temperture was perfect though.

Thought I better get out today before the weather changes. A bit on the windy side but not a bad day. 

Started off running against the wind and the snow so it would be at my back coming home. Amazingly as soon as I turned around and ran less than a half a mile it stopped snowing and I could swear the wind died down.

Ran on the treadmill tonight. Took yesterday off to rest the legs. Averaged 7.30 min miles which I felt good about. The route I ran is one I had mapped and it climbed a lot more than I rembered.

Had the intention of running outside. I made it to the end of my driveway and thought, "why am I running outside when I have a treadmill?" Ended up watching a movie and running in the warmth of the basement.

Ran on the treadmill again. Getting soft and not wanting to battle the cold.

Got outside and ran with Ryan. Good day to run outside and good company. Had a good time Ryan. 

I was able to get a few miles in after being in class all day at work. Felt good to stretch the legs out.

Ran on the treadmill. Wasnt able to run yesterday due to being busy at work. I have started fighting what I believe is the start of a cold with an ear infection. Hopefully it doesnt cost me any running days.

Ran outside today. 50 degree weather and very little wind. Hard to complain about the weather when it is the end of November.

Ran at the inlaws. Nice to see some new country. A little on the wet and windy side.

Same route as yesterday. I was able to get out before the feast.

Great day to run outside. Its hard to believe that Thanksgiving is over and we are still able to run outside. It was nice to see some fellow runners out.

Ran some hills. Ready for a rest day. Really felt the fatigue in the legs.

Ran a coupls of easy miles on the treadmill to keep the legs from becoming to sore. Nice day to rest the legs. Hope the weather changes. It was pretty wet today.

A little colder than it looked. Thirty five degrees but the sun was out. There was little wind so that helped. Amazing what a rest day can do for you. Legs felt well rested.

Good day to run outside. Felt really good.

Had a good run with Ryan. We ran 8 miles together. I later ran another 5 miles on the treadmill.

Took a break from playing mechanic for a run. Felt really good. I was able to log in some faster miles without suffering to much. The weather is suppose to change tonight so it might be my last run outside for a while.

I was lucky to get these miles in. Have been getting home late from work. I was hoping to have another 60 mile week. Maybe this next week.

Nice quite day at work. I was able to run on the treadmill and avoid this crappy weather.

Ran on the treadmill tonight. Averaged 6:50 minute miles. 

I was able to run outside today. A little on the windy side.

Nice steady miles on the treadmill. Trying to keep the mileage up. We are on baby count down so I thought I better stay close to the house. My wife would never forgive me if I was gone running when the baby decided to come.

Ran outside in the wind. I dressed well for the temp but it was hard holding the pace with the wind. 

A much needed rest day.

Ran outside today. The sun was out but it was cooler than I expected. I guess I need to work some more on my winter dress. I still tend to underdress. The first eight or so miles I felt perfect but the wind shifted a little and it got really cold. I guess it helped me pick up my pace to get home. I rewarded myself with a cup of hot cocoa.

Ran on the treadmill before we went to church. Felt really good. I was able to alternate the incline and pace to mix it up. Thought I better run now since I work tonight. Not alway easy to get the runs in at work.

Good run outside. It was on the cooler side but I dressed pretty well for it. Only felt the cold the last two miles. Next time I think I will have to use some band aids if you know what I mean.

I don't like calling these easy miles. It was on the windy side but I was able to run a new route and avoid the worst of the wind. Thought I better get some miles in before I take the wife to the hospital in the morning. It's time to have this baby.

Took a break from running. The wife had a baby today! Still no name for the baby girl. 

My wife let me take a break from the hospital for a run. I felt well rested from a day off and the weather felt like spring. I think it was forty degrees and really no wind. Great run outside. Can't believe it is the middle of December.

Got a later start but was still able to get a good run in. Finished right as it began to snow. Traffic seemed to be heavier than normal. Must be the time of day and the holiday's. Hard to complain though it is wintertime and I'm running outside still.

Eight hard miles on the treadmill tonight.

I was able to get these miles in warly on the treadmill at work. I have been super busy with the family and work that my week started to slip by me.

Was able to run at work again. Nice to have access to a treadmill when it is as cold as it has been. Ran later in the afternoon and felt really good.

Awesome day outside. The sun was out and there was no wind. Felt really good since I've had an easy mileage week.

Family Christmas party made it hard to get this run in. Not a bad day to run although the day before was better.

Nice clear day. I was able to make first tracks in the new snow. Felt really good to get out and run in the snow.

Running today felt like I was running in sand. Half way out I thought to myself "this is why you bought a treadmill." It was nice to get out and hear the crunch of the snow under my shoes.

Cold out there. Ran in my Yaktraks.

Ran outside today. It was cold but the sun was shinning. Felt really good running. 

Ran six miles outside before I decided to call it. It was cold but not unbearable. The traffic was ridiculous out there for some reason making it harder to get into the sync. Finished the last four miles on my treadmill.
