1500 meter swim and plyos in the water.  6 miles from Steiner and through Red Butte.  This is the longest run I have done in a long time, it was nice to be out just a little longer.  I love this cool weather, it is such a nice change.  Foot a little sore at first, then felt better, knee was noticable, but much better than earlier in the week.

Down in St. George to watch the marathon.  Ran from Quail Creek, nice area, pretty lake!  Felt a little sluggish from the drive, but opened up nicely as the run progressed.  Both feet a little tender after the run, a nice night in the tent will surely make them feel better.  The moon was the brightest I have ever seen, it was like daylight, I think I may have gotten moon burned!

At Kodachrome State park - amazing place and well worth the visit.  A good morning watching the marathon, congrats to all the runners.  I am hopeful I will return to this event at some point.  Both feet sore today, actually took 2 advil to calm them down, that helped a lot.  Nice run in the wind!

1200 meter swim with plyos. 6 miles from Steiner through the trails.  Everything actually felt pretty good today, pain was less prominent in all joints.  Cool weather was awesome and I had the trails to myself.

5 miles on the treadmill this evening.  A little faster toward the end, but the TM sure lights up my foot.  I was stiff and sluggish at the start, but felt much better toward the end.  Will see how the foot does in the morning.

600 meters warm-up in the pool - did not really have a lane so it was hard to see the wall for turns, but it worked to warm-up for the plyos.  Plyos in the pool.

5 miles from Steiner to the park and home, a nice run, foot was sore from the night before, but it behaved during the run.  It is sore tonight, but I am hopeful it will calm down, a little work with the stick will help too.  Feeling like I am developing some rhythm again, at least at times.  I will time most of these runs because I do not want the pressure to perform until the injuries have abated.

3 miles with a client and another 3.5 miles on my own.  Feet are lit up today, not sure why, but I am not encouraged.  A little contrast therapy this evening helped, and some more work on the stick to help continue to break up the triceps surae/

13 mile bike ride first on the Legacy Parkway, then 5 miles on the parkway.  Foot was tender to begin, but felt better as run progressed.  Nice run.

600 meter warm-up in the water, and a good set of plyos.  5 miles on Pipeline, a very pretty run, one of the better runs I have had this year, limited pain and actually moved smoothly.

5 miles on pipeline tonight. Tripped on a rock, pulled a pec, some intercostals, and something on the top of  my foot.  Nothing severe, but enough to be sore for a few days.  Foot was a little sore to start, but good at the end, sore after the run.  I hope the tendon on the top of my foot does not act up too much, this is the last thing I need at this point.  Also, 16 miles on the bike with MJ, what an amazing ride on the Legacy Parkway.

1500 meter swim with plyos.  A good set in the pool today.  Decided against the run today even though I was dressed to go.  I essentially did not sleep last night, and have a little sinus thing going so I decided it would be best just to call it a day.  I have a big day tomorrow at work so I will try and get a little something in before heading of to New Orleans for a little R&R.

Very short on time today, but made do with what I had.  Ran from the club and a couple laps around Wheeler farm, I love that place, the animals are all so friendly.  Everything a little tight to start, but turned out to be a pretty good run, just wish I had more time so I could actually stretch and roll out after the run.  Spent a little time with stick before crashing early for bed.

Not the running week I had planned, but at least I got 1000 easy yards in the pool, and a good set of plyos.  I am hoping to get a run in tomorrow in New Orleans, just depends on what time we actually get to the Hotel.

Audobon Park in New Orleans.  A very pretty run, beautiful park, friendly people and very flat.  Felt a little tight to start, but better as I moved on.

Ran from the Riverwalk up Espalande Street through Treme.  Very nice run, grass path most of the way.  People were again incredibly friendly, I am very impressed with New Orleans and the people here.

Arrived back in Salt Lake late last night after a phenomonal trip to New Orleans.  The running was not what I hoped it would be, but I did not really care because the city was so much fun.  We walked more than I have probably ever.  Gmapped one day at 14 miles, that was not even the most we walked - fun trip!

Today's run was pretty good, ran the first 4.5 on my own and the last 1.5 with a client.

An easy 4 up on pipeline, all I really had time for.  Actually I had more time, but I ended up napping through the time I was supposed to go run!  I felt very good on this run, especially toward the end.

1000 meter swim with Plyos - first time in the water in over a week, felt good to get back in.  6.5 mile run back from Steiner through Sugar House Park.  A little stiff to start, but better towards the end of the run.  Blister on my left foot because I forgot to bring my sock to the pool with me.

Another great run on Pipeline!  Most issues are actually feeling better, still a lot of tightness at the start of the run, but feeling better toward the end of each.  Stomach and head were issues today, but a little too much beer and wine is likely the culprit - thanks to the BrewMaster and his Posse for making me drink that last glass of wine! Also managed to get a nice 10 mile ride in with M, plus 1500 meters of swimming - overall a good day!

5 miles on pipeline, everything was a bit tight today, and a quad cramp with a quarter mile to go did not make things any better.  Never had a tinge or cramp in my quad before, it is actually quite painful.  I have limped around all evening on it, but I think it will be better in a day or two.

5 miles at Mick Riley golf course.  Very quiet peaceful run on a nice new layer of snow.  Ran pretty slow, but really enjoyed the run.

6 miles on pipeline.  The trail is already covered  in snow, well ice really, but it was runnable and very enjoyable.  This is the best run I have had for a long time - hopefully this trend will continue.

A slippery and wet 6 miles on pipeline, but it was worth it.  For the most part I had the trail to myself, and just slipped my way all the down the trail.  Got some quality time with my spanish language cd, a great way to learn while I run.

Started off feeling a little sluggish, felt good in the middle, and then dragged myself back to the car for about the last mile.  This is the farthest I have run for probably 9 months, and it actually felt good to get out.  The trail was muddy in spots, but an improvement over yesterday, plus it was another quality spanish learning day!

In addition, rode 12 miles with M, on the Legacy Parkway!!!
