| I think I might be in love, went for my first run up Monroe Canyon just a mile away from where we just moved to. Just me and my dog, didn't see another vehicle or soul up there. Parked at the bottom of the canyon, 1st mile on the paved road up the canyon, 2nd mile on packed snow starting to wind up the narrow canyon road with a stream flowing beside, 3rd mile from Monrovian Park up semi-packed single track following the creek. Cliffs, trees, flowing stream, I was like the trail running Maria Vontrapp, It was just gorgeous and about a mile away from my home. I couldn't have asked for much better start to the new year...

| Went for four this morning in the canyon with my wife, more of a hike, but very enjoyable non the less, went probably another 1.5 by myself in the foothills south of town right before dark. I am hoping for a longer canyon exploration run in the morning...

| Went on a solo run up Monroe Canyon Road, had the dog with me in case any pumas wanted to eat me for breakfast. Went up the mountain for 4 miles then turned around and came back. Mostly snow packed roads, the were some snowmobiles who packed the snow just about perfect for running. There was one ice skating spot for about 50 yards where it got a bit sketchy, fell on my bottom on the way back down and just slid across the rest of the way. Pushed as much as my legs and heart would let me this time, ended up power hiking/running to the top. Maybe in a few months when I get my legs back I will be able to run it all. I still need to get the elevation off my garmin. Had fun running down, no inversion, and not another soul/vehicle for the entire run. Just me, the dog, and some bald eagles... miles were 13:25,16:27,17:41,20:48,8:32,7:51,7:10,6:59 miles tell the tell of the climb, effort was about the same,just getting warmed up on the way down...

| Morning run up the canyon with Laci, followed the creek up the canyon until I didn't dare follow it any higher due to ice and cliffs. Had to cross the creek a couple times. Legs were heavy from basketball the night before, beautiful run.

| First scout campout with Spencer, had fun hiking up the icy roads at night with headlamps and taking the old runner sleds down the road. You can really get flying, no time for a run...

| Did a really nice loop this morning, started at the mouth of the canyon and ran along the country roads, first half on a packed dirt road, the second on pavement. It must have been rush hour this morning because I had four cars go by me. Garmin was not fully charged so I do not have pace, ran comfortable, with the dog. I eyed a trail up the mountain last week I want to hit tomorrow morning so I was trying to save my legs for that tomorrow. I really have to step up and get in more that two runs a week.

| Great run in the mountains up Monroe Canyon, hit a trail I saw last week and it did not disapoint. Great views, up and back on the trail. The snow at the top was shin deep and when I got moving on it the slight crust on the top would cut into my white little legs. Felt pretty good during the run, I think my legs are slowly coming back.

| Beautiful morning for a run, clear skies, no inversion, no traffic, good music. Calves were tight from the weekend climb, started to loosen up towards the end. 8:19AP

| 5 easyish miles around the town with my pup, hit some fields west of town and ran on some soft dirt for a couple miles. AP 8:24 around 8:15 for the pavement and 8:40 ish in the soft dirt, pretty much the same effort. Nice to get out and enjoy the sunset...

| Well I had really good intentions to run last week, ended up coming up with a cold that kept lingering and could not motivate myself to get up in the mornings with my sore throat to run.
Forced myself to get my gear on and get out the door tonight as soon as I got home from work. I'm sure my wife was not too happy to have me head right back out as soon as I got home, but I needed this one.
Went to the dirt road south of town, 3 up and back, wanted to see how my legs responded the last 3. I have a lot of work to do still. I was pushing it pretty good and it hurt, just how I wanted it to feel. Now I know where I am starting from.
Miles were as follows: 8:15,8:24,8:58, 7:05, 7:06,7:02
Hopefully it pushes the rest of the funk from my lungs.
