5 easy miles up city creek, it was a bit chilly and the road turned out to be quite icy in spots.  I have forgotten how much I enjoy this run.

5 miles on the treadmill.  I actually felt pretty good tonight and had a nice run.  I am good on a treadmill for about 30 40 minutes then I start to get moderately bored.  I miss the days of running with Randy watching the OC.  We would click off 10 miles watching mindless mildly entertaining soaps with no sound - ah the memories!!

5 miles on the treadmill, felt pretty good, ended with a nice 6:00 minute mile.  Effort did not feel to hard, but the foot was not terrible happy, but it feels ok now!

4 miles easy on the treadmill.  Again a progressive run ending at about 6 min pace.  Felt ok, I think once I return from Egypt I will be able to up the mileag e and get ready for the season.  In the meantime I will do what I can and feel good about it.

5 miles on the treadmill.  Progressive run ending with a 5:52 last mile.  Nothing blazing, but faster than I have run for a while.  I felt good and not really that taxed.

The foot is really not allowing me to do much right now, and top that off with a case of mummy tummy from Egypt, I am not doing to much.  For those of you interested, Egypt is an amazing place, and well worth visiting - I will expand more later.

Much the same, the foot is unhappy, but is feeling better as the runs progress.  I will add more miles as I feel I can.  Merry Christmas!

Cold and snowy, but it was nice to be out.  Ran very slow, but it was a run none-the-less.

Wow! Double digits for the week. Well... enough dinking around, I think I am finally ready to commit and get healthy. I have been neglecting what I need to be doing to heal myself and now is as good a time as any to get to it. I have missed my daily runs, I have missed running pain free even more, but I am ready to hopefully finally be healthy. Today was a comfortable as I have been for a while, the treadmill treated me well. Listened to some great tunes and just lost myself in thought. Running provides no better avenue to just let the mind run, a steady stream of consciousness.

Alright, 2 days in a row, and some consistency on the rehab front.  Each day presents a new opportunity to continue down the healing process, one which I need to be committed to.  On the treadmill again, progress run to 6:58 pace where I stayed consistent for the remainder of the run.  I will continue with this type of workout at least for several more weeks until I feel I am healthy enough to progress.  I am anxious to get fit again, but for now patience is the order of the day.

Ok, goal accomplished for the year - kind of!! 2401 miles for the year, I will take it, but the last several months could have been a lot better!! Today, I felt pretty good, the foot was tender at the start, but felt good late in the run. Great tunes, and a nice run - a great way to end the year. For the record, 2007 was a great year - a full season of racing, a trip to China and the Great Wall, and finished off with the Great Pyramids, and diving in the Red Sea. I wish you all a wonderful and safe New Year!!
