| Solo. Orem library route. 6.2 miles at 9:58/mi. I maintain a pretty strong and consistent effort, but the old legs just didn't want to turn over this morning. |

| Short Lindon loop with Kevin and Larry. I was beat from the basketball game the night before. We only had 5 players (no subs) and it was a close game. Fortunately we lost by 3 and don't have to play in the tournament at the next level. It was hard just holding 10:00 pace this morning. |

| Kevin worked me again this morning. I only averaged 9:05/mi, but I had to work for it. As I told Kevin this morning, I'm feeling roughly the same aches and pains, but I'm gradually getting in more mileage at slightly faster paces, so that's progress. |

| I ran last Saturday and on Monday (I'll log them later) but I've been pretty sick all this week. I worked from home Monday thru Wednesday and finally took Thursday as a sick day and slept or otherwise vegetated most of the day. Today is my first day back at work. I still have a little sinus congestion and an occasional cough, but I think I'm going to declare myself well...at least well enough to run tomorrow. I stumbled on a quote today that I want to log in my blog before I forget it. It pertains to my motto "Every race is an adventure." It is by English author & mystery novelist G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936): An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.I believe there is some great wisdom there. | | Comments(1) |

| 10 miles, very slow. My Garmin registered 15.8 miles at 9:23/mi, but some of those miles were walking and others were riding in Wayne's Jeep to get back home. I hadn't run since Monday due to illness. I thought I had recovered enough for today's long run, but I had not. We were on a 14 mile route. At about 10 miles I decided to walk to avoid risking injury to me...and I was exhausted. Wayne ran on ahead and came back to pick up Larry (bad ankle) and me. |

| All of last week's cold symptoms returned on Sunday night. I went to the doctor this morning. He thinks I just got a second cold on the heels of the first one. How lucky for me. | | Add Comment |

| I ran alone this morning. I was so frustrated from being sick for the last 10 days that I pushed the pace some. Unfortunately, pushing the pace these days is only about 9:00/mi pace. I just can't seem to breath. The neuroma in my foot also causes numbness about 30-40 minutes into the run. It doesn't seem to get worse, even on a 10-12 run, but it sure is distracting. My hip is also still bothering me a little. I've also started to feel some IT band pain in my right knee. Getting old stinks. |

| Wayne and I ran Provo Canyon this morning. 11.75 miles. 9:38/mi for me. Wayne was a little faster at the end. At one point, the wind was as strong as either of us could remember. Still, it was a pretty good run. I especially enjoyed running all the way to the end (unlike last week). |

| Kevin and I ran the longer Lindon loop this morning. I started on an antibiotic on Saturday to hopefully clear up the respiratory issues that have been plaguing me for the last two weeks. I felt like my breathing was still labored this morning, but then I realized that we were running 8:30 pace instead of the 9:00-10:00 pace I've been running. Just before we turned back south we realized we'd had a tail wind for the first half of the run. With the headwind and some uphill stretches on the return trip our pace slowed...or I should say my pace slowed and Kevin slowed to stay with me. We ended up averaging 9:05/mi, which is about as fast as I've been able to run these days, but we ran 6.2 miles instead of the 4.5-ish I've been doing lately, so I view it as an improvement. |

| Kevin and I ran a Lindon loop with a variation that took us above the Jr. High on the return trip. Average pace: 8:56/mi. |

| The wind was so strong and cold coming out of the mouth of Provo canyon this morning that Larry, Kevin and I decided to run south, with the wind to our backs. We ran along the Provo River trail down to Macey's on State Street and back, tacking a little distance on the end (into the wind up Provo canyon) to get to 10 miles. At one point, while crossing under University Parkway next to the river, the sidewalk under the bridge was flooded and we had to climb up and along the hillside for a bit. This was one day when just getting a long run in was a major accomplishment. Average pace: 10:34/mi. |

| Kevin tried a non-traditional route this morning crossing the bridge at Northridge then heading down 800 E towards Cascade golf course. On the way back Kevin had to make a potty stop so I took his dog Dash on the leash and went on ahead. Kevin is running so well that I knew he would be able to catch us. There were some times, especially right after a deer ran across the road about 30 yards ahead of us, when Dash was providing just enough tension on the leash to comfortably pull me along like a tow rope. I wish I could say that's why Kevin is running faster than me these days, but I think he's just faster. Mile splits: 9:19, 8:27, 8:44, 8:42, 8:54, 8:32. Average pace: 8:46/mi |

| Lindon loop with Larry. I ran the first two miles easy (10:42, 10:54). Larry was cutting back shorter, and Lyle and Kris passed us about this point, so I picked up the pace and maintained the effort through the remainder of the run (8:05, 8:32, 8:45, 8:34). I had some of those "feeling like a runner again" feelings. |
