| #2: Ran from the house with Laci, picked up another dog around 3 miles and she ran with us until 10 miles when we ran back by her house. Went up into Poverty then back. Need to start building on my long runs.

| Accidently turned the alarm off when I thought I hit snooze. Ran from the rodeo grounds up the canyon to the gate then back home. Good run this morning...

| #4- Hit the Red Rock trail in Richfield this morning. Just a light pack of snow on the run. I was pretty fatigued during the run, if I could have stopped at eight I would have but got the run in. I could definetly feel the added miles from last week. Just got to teach the legs that is how it is going to be as the mileage increases...

| Came into Richfield to run before work. Did the "flying J" loop. Threw in a two mile tempo halfway through about 7 pace. Mostly trail/dirt/snow roads AP 8:03 good run and I beat the snow as I am watching it snow now out my office window.
Got to keep building on my tempos and work on my lungs

| Nice fresh powder this morning, hit the trail to the hot springs and did three loops up and around. It was fun watching my dog play in the snow. Mostly just a recovery/enjoy the morning type of run. Next time I will take a soak in the springs.

| Travelled to Utah County to help my dad who was sick. No time for a run so I did four laps around the cul-de-sac at night to keep my new years streak going.

| Made the right decision and slept in this morning as it was in the single digits and brought my running gear to work. Went out for runch and started at the trails by the Flying J. Hit a new trail off the Red Rock and followed four wheeler tracks up and around. Nice new loop it was fun exploring a new area. Did six miles with about 1,000 feet of climbing in a couple short miles. Worked pretty hard for an AP of 11:09 with the snow, climbs, and slippery ice/snow down low. Came back to work covered in mud and with a smile on my face...

| Started later in the afternoon after Trenton's wrestling tournament. Ran from the house to the dirt/snow/mud road leading out of the rodeo grounds. Went a little over four miles then ran back then up the road to the Parson's elk farm. Hit the top the looped back to the house to get an even ten miles.
So I got my first blister on this run since I started running again a few years back. I could feel it around four miles but didn't pay it much mind. Didn't feel a rock or anything in my shoes. Came home and found the culprit. Big hole in my running sock. Need to buy a few new pairs. AP 8:33 but felt much harder with the snow and hills.

| Day 15: Had the day off from work so I stayed up late last night and slept in until eight this morning then took my dog up the canyon. Started at the gate and then headed up the snow trail up past shingle fork until I hit two miles then cruised back down. Hard climb on the way up just wanted to keep running the whole time. I did have to stop and watch the big bull elk on the way up though...
Came home and went right to the track where my son was having middle school track/weightlifting practice. Did an extra 1.5 miles total there. Did four sets of 200s with some stadium stair running afterwards. Did the last 200 around 30 seconds to test my speed out a bit. Good to see this small group of dedicated young athletes pushing themselves every week.

| Need to set my alarm for earlier. Only had time for about four miles this morning. The trail was really icy and slick so I took my time and managed to stay upright. I will try to get some more mileage in this afternoon.

| Went for a lunch run with plans to summit Table Mountain outside of Richfield. Started up the trail from the gun range side. About two miles up a storm hit with small "nerd" size candy pelting me and starting to cover my tracks up in the snow. As I hadn't been on the trail before and it was looking pretty dark and nasty I turned around and headed back down. I will save the summit for another day.

| Day 18: Was hoping the dirt was not sloppy muddy. Nope but it was a lot colder than I expected. Only had ear warmers on and my poor bald head was in some pain and I almost turned around after a mile to get my balaclava but started to warm up a bit so I pushed on. Was hoping to get a good tempo run the last three downhill miles but it was pretty slick snow and couldn't get the traction needed to get any speed going, only the last mile was under 7 minutes, but still a good workout.

| Day 19: Hit the trail to the top of elk hill and continued until I hit 3.5 miles then came back down. The snow trail conditions at the top were ideal to run on but were icy/slick in spots down low. Had about a dozen elk running along with my at the top, hence the name, elk hill. I love my relaxed Fridays to be able to spend some extra time in the mountains before work.

| My right hip area has been hurting since Friday, feels like a muscle pull. I tried a short run and felt pain so I decided to let it rest over the weekend. Did 10 minutes on the exercise bike at lunch today to try to loosen it up as well as the foam roller over the weekend. I have not tried to run on it yet, but walking it feels somewhat better. Hopefully just a short recovery then back to training.

| Did another ten minutes of stationary bike at a high resistance. Tried to jog again this morning and felt some discomfort still in my hip so I will continue to let it rest.
