Breakfast Club

Another beautiful morning with one of my favorite running trios. Bare Hands Mike, El Frogger, and myself. 6:30 am. low 30's. light snow with an inch of new. We hit everybody's favorite new trail and then came back on the highway - Mike's ankle was tweeking. 11 miles. I think Steve-o said it was an hour 53. Felt so good! Then rounded up the ski gear and the girls and spent the day at Canyons with Dan and his girls. Beauty. What a great day. I am beat. Why do I do this to my back? Oh, cause I love it.

Is everything ok?

Asked the other biker.

"Yeah, we've just been married ten years." Was my reply.

Probably didn't earn any points with that one, but I was already in the doghouse.

So, we ended up riding about 5 miles of pavement and half mile of trail. Then I went and ran around the streets for 13 minutes (give or take). I'm sure I at least went a mile and a half.

Afternoon Delight

Steve was here at 3 o'clock and we ran the "4 mile loop" (pavement) counter clockwise. Lovely. We hit 4 at 31:40 - I believe he said. Then I traipsed across the field another quarter mile or so, but who's counting?

This pic was taken on Dec 31 - my first (solo) trek on the newest trail in the valley.

Love it! (ala Wheezy from Dragon Tails)

Trail at dusk

Near perfect conditions with the frog man. 8.5 miles in 1:23ish. 6 miles of trail, the rest was pavement. thanks for the ride Natalie!

More Runs

Still not feeling great, but headed out for a bit anyway. Just barely made it back after a mere 1.6 miles in 13 minutes. Amazing January weather.

Runs

So, I went out on the good old rail trail at about 4 and did one whole mile in 6:54.

Unfortunately, I was not feeling good and before I finished my one whole mile, I found out why that was... Nasty. But at least I got'er done. Then I showered and slept for 3 hours.

New Year!

Wait, what happened to 2011? Who knows...

Anywho. I think a fun goal this year will be to "run" at least one mile every day. So, today with Wife at work, my bernese and I trotted a 12.5 minute mile. Yup, just one. I in my boots and he peeing and smelling stuff. What a perfect start to a silly new goal. Stay tuned, 364 more posts to go...
