Don't Tread

32 minutes and 4 miles on the spinning boredom. I'll get those thousand miles.

Station 31 Half Marathon

Sean, Pete and I got out in the cold air and breeze and ran us a half marathon.

One hour 57 minutes. I think it was 20 laps around the block. I loved it. We BS'ed like we always do, but we were doing a half.

We got strange looks. Only one van of girls giving us cat calls (shoulda been more).

We put a table on the corner with a bunch of water. Stopped for h2o as needed.

Oh, Moses started with us but he got a transport half a mile in. Too bad (lucky him).

Jefe just didn't do it.

Tradition? Perhaps.

88.7 miles to go!

Fran

2 miles true barefoot on treadmill. Hotspots forming and irritating. Threw on the 5fingers and went two more. 15:45 and 13:45. I believe that equals around 29:30.

Then I did a fran. Its been years. I wanted to die for a second. 5:20 isn't a great time, but it will have to do.

Turkey Trot

12 below zero.

Full turnouts.

Charles, Christie, Camille, Frog Man, Chris and Amy.

Fun. 3 miles in about 25 minutes.

Hot body cold lungs and face.

Frio

In-laws took me to lunch for celebration. Thanks!!

Went for a cold cruiser. Pete called midway so I walked for 10 min while I talked to him.

35 minutes got me 3.7 miles. Sweet.

Interviews - Done

So I headed up the Bonneville Shoreline trail behind Re Butte. HOWLING winds. Crazy. 5finger, rocky, ouch. 46:30. 4.3 miles. Nice. Here comes the snow.

So glad do be done. It's out of my hands.

This is the Place

Stressful Interview Process. Headed up Emigration during a break.

5.4 miles

41 min

Jogger Dad

One asleep. One in the stroller.

Got in another quick one. 4.3 miles in 34:30. 5fingers. Kept it close to home.

The stroller pulls to the left.

Running with the deer.

No bull. There I was on the canal dirt road when I realized I was running next to a doe and her fawn. Pretty coolio. 4.25 miles in 34 minutes. 5fingers. Cold but nice to get out.

Thanks Christie

Frogley!

Baa baa black sheep.

Ran into the man at the ski sale and ended up inviting myself on his afternoon run. We went 4.35 miles in the 35 degree weather in 33:25. That was quicker than either one of us might have done solo. It was nice to hang out with him.

When I got home, my fam was asleep. So I stretched a bit and headed back out with a super tight right calf (why?) to do the same run backwards.

It took me 100 seconds longer than our first run. It was still cold. 35:05.

Thaats an 8.7 mile day. Good times.

Ugh - Treadmill

Crappy weather. Treadmill to the rescue! 5fingers warmed up a bit.

3 x 20 minute runs. Why? I dunno. We had water rationing going on I suppose.

2.25 miles

20 pull up set

2.4 miles

2.55 miles - right calf super tight right off the bat. Ran through anyway.

some situps - not enough of em though.

I guess thats 7.2 while going nowhere, right?

Right arch still achy.

Curtain Call

Went out for a nice 5finger hour. Probably the last of these beautiful spring-like November days.

Felt so good. Got 7.6 miles done. I was happy about dropping the pace in the 2nd half. Thats nice.

Tiny little blisters on my 2nd toes. From what?

Then a cool little hike with my amazing family. It was my boy's 2nd birthday!

And finally, the finale. Closing night. Sold out crowd with a waiting list. Good show. I still think last night was the best, but tonight was really good! I already miss it. What a fun thing to do and a fun group of people! Thank you Carolyn for roping me in!

Old stompin ground

Ricks Muffler was fixing my, well, muffler, so I went for a 32 minute 5fingers stroll through the old hood. 4.35 miles. Felt great. This November weather is AMAZING!

Speaking of amazing, 5th of 7 shows tonight. Jefe and Hintze were there. Good times.

2 runs

One on the trails - 2.14 miles in 23:48 - hilly!

On around the pavement twice - 2.17 miles in 19:20

Just putin' time in with Sean.

Pro Trail Runner

Love getting paid to run trails with Sean.

2.9 miles in 33 minutes.

Rocky for 5fingers.

Hills and mud, too.

Very nice!

Oh, and 100 manmakers earlier. (66 + 34)
