Met the BBK's today.  It has been a while and I was worried about keeping up but they were nice enough to take it easy.  We had a good run led by Dean and the hip is getting better every day - finally!

Met Paula and we ran the "Big Block".   I was a little frustrated because my garmin was dead and I kept trying to push buttons and felt naked with out it -  this could be a sign of garmin addiction.   I am technically challenged this week.  Anyways I took the hill too fast for a recovery day but the run felt good and I am trying to stay in check with miles instead of ramping up to fast. 

Happy Running!

Met the BBK's for a cold, cold run.   It was 13 degrees when we started and 10 when we finished.   It wasn't to bad once we got going, but today was hard and a sign that I have lost a lot of fitness over the past weeks.  

More technical issues.  My garmin stopped picking up distance at 5.72 when we went through the tunnel and never picked it back up.  Weird thing is I never got an alert stating that it lost reception.

Longest run since the marathon.  Pretty sad it has taken me so long to only get to 9 miles.   I met Paula early and we did the first 3.5 miles up hill and then looped back and had mostly down hill with some flat until I dropped her off at 7.5.  I then finished on my own running and looping through the neighboorhood.  I felt really good, but was really slow.  

 My garmin is having issues.  It is losing reception and cannot find it again unless I turn it off and back on.  Thursday it started in a tunnel on the trail but today it happened twice and both times I was in wide open space.  Not sure what to do, will have to do some research.

CONGRATULATIONS to Julie, Peggy, Cheris, Michelle M and Cheryl for winning the womens division of the St. George Expedtion Relay - Pretty awesome!

First snow run of the year.   Paula and I took it pretty easy and stayed off the main roads.  Tomorrow will be icy.

Tried to go meet the BBK's but when I got to Bangeter and it was not plowed I decided that if I did make it accident free, I would be late and have missed the group so I turned around and dusted off my treadmill.  First run since last winter when it was maybe used 3 times.   It wasn't as bad as I remember but still not very fun and glad it is done.

Lunch time run from my office.  I ran west up 9800 S to Redwood and back.   Some good hill work and felt pretty good.   My hip/IT band are pretty much back to 100% but I have developed some PF in my right foot that is driving me crazy.

A very easy three miles on the treadmill.    I missed the BBK's because I had a 7 am video conference and then had a small break before my next meeting, so only time for 3.

Icy and Cold!  8 degrees when we started out.   We ran the same route twice. Up and back to the Smith's corner.    More issues with the garmin so no ave pace.

Nice Saturday morning with Cheris, Michelle M, Kris and Dean.  So great to run with those guys again!  They are all taking it easy which makes it very nice for me.   It was quite icy and snowpacked on the roads so it made for extra slow going.

Very, very icy!  Probably one of the most icy days I have run.   We wanted to stay off the main roads to avoid traffic, but the side streets were horrible as were the trails.   Needless to say we were very, very slow.

Very humbling run with the BBK's.  I realized how out of shape I really am.   Lots of work to do.

Started out much like Tuesday and I was struggling to keep up and feel good.   I dropped back a little at mile 5 but stayed close and felt better.  I was able to finish strong- that is a good sign.

On my own this morning.  First two miles were very slow but then had to keep reminding myself it is a recovery day and to save something for tomorrow.

Met the BBK's for a run around Parkway Palisades.   Good run but I can still tell that I am lagging and it is more difficult than it should be.  Hopefully this passes quickly.

Slept in until 7:30 - WahOO!  Unfortunately I had late night meetings so I did not get in bed until midnight.    Met Paula and it was slushy, slick and messy.   Pretty sore from yesterdays massage, but really starting to feel better - minus my foot.   Technically challenged again so no pace and miles are approx.

Met the BBK's for a Christmas Eve run.  It was chilly but fun.   My right IT bothered me a little bit during the warm up but I stretched before we started the workout and was fine the rest of the time.   Afterwards we had a little Christmas party courtesy of Cheris & Michelle - Thanks!

Met some of the BBK's for an early morning run.   It was a great route planned by Mike but I was struggling.  I was always trying to catch up - they would come and get me and then I would fall behind again.    Another sign that I still have a lot of work to do to get back were I was pre injury.

Six miles with Paula this morning.  It was colder than expected due to the humidity.  Felt really good other than the right IT started bothering me with about 2 miles left.

Nine miles with the BBK's.  Today was slower than I expected so I was able to keep up which was nice for a change.   I would like to think I was improving but the pace does not lie.

Four miles with Paula and a lot of snow.   We were very slow even though the effort seemed more difficult.
