You gotta love Pipeline this time of year.  It was a great evening run through the mountains.  I did struggle with a little post Neal homebrew syndrome throughout the day, but it is always so worth it.  I watched the master at work making his homebrew, quite a process, might have to give it whirl at some point.

Well, I have a rock solid week going.  My work schedule has been brutal as of late and I have been pretty cooked.  As summer gets rolling it should get better.  Ran pipeline in the pouring ran with Michelle.  What a blast - mud and rain, some low clouds, truly amazing.  I finished covered in mud with a big smile on my face - at one with nature!!!!!!  Best run this year!

Burch Hollow today - much less muddy, but an amazing beautiful run.  Had the trail to myself for the most part, lush green, and fresh.  Felt reasonable good too, two good runs in a row, I could get used to this!

I think I am close to changing my name from QuadraBall to TriBall, the right foot is essentially normal -essentially.  I would actually have to run faster and farther than a turtle to find out, but hey, I can walk pain free and run pain free on it.  The left side - not so much!!  Good days bad days with it, but at least I don't limp now and I can run at least an hour.  Ran Pipeline again today, other than the trail being torn up near Grandeur Peak, it was a great run.

Make it 4 in a row, been a while.  Foot was great until about 5 miles, then it hurt all the way in.  Got in Millcreek when finished - very cold, but felt awesome.  The trail was not too crowded, I was quite surprised, but I enjoyed it!!

Felt pretty good today, just let the mind wander and enjoyed an amazing evening of running on the pipeline. Not much else to say I suppose!!!!

 

I want to know what happened, I used to run 1 mile on Sunday and still make the first page of the mileage board, now I run 5 and am sent back to page 2. Heathens, all of you!!!

Yet another great evening of running, what can I say.  I might be interested in trying Paul's apple cleanse, I think it would be easier than the Master Cleanse, I just sucked at that.  Felt pretty good this evening, minimal pain, at least until I finished.

Ok, first time running in the morning for a bit.  The foot does not like the morning as it is always quite stiff, this morning was no different.  I was pretty lethargic in general, but felt better as the run went on.  Put my feet in possibly the coldest water ever when finished, as painful as it was, it was beneficial.

A solid 5 on the trail, foot felt as good as it has felt since last year, I hope it stays a trend.  A very nice cool evening, I am just loving this weather.

Up the Burch Hollow trail today. Felt lousy when I started, just dead legged, never really did get much better plus my foot hurt - oh well. I got to dip my legs in the creek when I finished, that was fun, and the cup of coffee Michelle and I got was the best part of the whole experience.

Decided the foot needed some rest today, but I did get into the pool for a nice swim.  You gotta love swimming outdoors this time of year!!  I saw a runner last weekend that reminded me of Michelangelo's David, turns out it was Neal Gassman, go figure!!!

First double digit run of the year, and it only took me until June to do it!!!!!!  Ran with a shaved down Boy-Spandex on pipeline. I know I wear small shorts, but at least I don't have to shave to wear them!!! LOL!!  Also, I could not run without a shirt, I just jiggle too much!!  Felt good until the last mile, then the heat took me down - still 10 is 10 and I will take it!!

Started the morning with a great morning swim with Michelle.  It was an amazing morning to be outside swimming.  Ran pipeline tonight - it was a nice evening to run, I felt pretty sluggish at first, but better as I started to get into it.  I think the heat yesterday really hammered me.

Up through Burch Hollow, I felt really good this evening, the foot was only marginally sore and I felt like I was moving better than I have for a while.  I will start to look for more consistency in the upcoming weeks.

Dragging a bit on today's run!!  I ran into Bill Cobler on the trail, it was great to get caught up a little with him.  The run was uneventful, just some trees, rocks, and a beautiful view.

Alright, after a non productive two days of not running, it was good to get out again.  One full evening repairing the swamp cooler, a worth while endeavor considering the heat.  I could swear I saw Adam run by the house as I was standing on the roof looking for the hose, he must of thought I was an idiot because Michelle was standing on the other side of the house on the ladder trying to hand it to me.  

 Anyway, the run was great, I felt good and all was right with my universe this evening.  For an added note, I also swam for an hour this morning, it was so early I almost thought it was yesterday!

Started the morning with the intent of getting up early to run, missed that by a solid 3 hours, but we did manage to get to the pool as it opened (along with half the Salt Lake Valley)!!  Had a nice swim though and got some sun - very nice!!  

Ran the usual pipeline this evening - it was not too hot and I had a great run.

Away from the hot valley and up the canyon for a stunning run in the woods.  Felt ok this evening!!  Ran into Bill again, he was just getting started, I wonder if it got dark on him.  I would be afraid of being something's food if I had to run up there in the dark!

Well, I survived the trail without being eaten, although we saw a beautiful young moose standing next to our car.  It did not have a fluffy tail like Bill's fox, but it did eventually run away!

Sad but true, I have already passed last weeks mileage!!  Generally fatigued this evening, but slothed through avoiding the 27000 cyclists, hikers, dogs and other assorted forms of exercisers.  I would like to know how the body knows the exact distance it can go before there is no way to get back to the porta potty?  Nothing like being on a busy trail with no outlets!!!!

Ran earlier today - Baked!!!! I am not much of a fan of the heat, and now I remember why! The pool afterward felt great and I had a nice swim.

Took the day off, a taper so to speak, so I can maybe get a double digit run in the morning.

It was a big day - double digits again.  The first mile was rough - did not feel good, the next 7 were good and felt like I moved well, the last 2 my foot was bothering me and the sun was starting to bake me a little.  All in all a pretty good run, plus I swam early this morning again - good day of training!!

A solid 0 today, the intention was actually there, but an hour long conversation with my mother did me in.  However; I did swim this morning, so there is that silver lining!  It is nice to know Bill will actually cover my entire week by the end of the day tomorrow - LOL!!

First am run in a long long time, but not in a galaxy far far away.  Have not run on the road in a month, but still half this run was in wheeler farm.  Felt good this morning, foot was good to start, marginal at the end - let's see how the day progressesssssssssss.
