| Flat run down through Orem heading south. Paul, Larry, and Wayne ran at 6:30am. Overall pace was 8:20 +/-. Last 3 miles, Paul and I picked up the pace to sub 8s finishing close to a 7 minute pace. Overall felt quite good for not having trained much in the last 4 weeks. |

| Got out and didn't see Larry or Paul. Ran about 5 miles solo at about an 8 minute pace. Felt pretty good, tho' I was a bit cold since I was anticipating warmer temps. I was dressed in shorts and t-shirt. Temperature was about 30 degrees. |

| Neither Larry nor Paul showed this morning. Ran through Orem along 4oo East and came back along Main. I was better prepared for the cold and had my ipod helping me along. Ran about an 8:20 pace and didn't feel good nor bad, just tired from not enough sleep. I hope to get an additional run in this evening but the prospects aren't looking too good. |

| I did a 12+ mile run with Kevin and Wayne this morning. Larry had a
chest cold but still came out and ran a few miles with us and then
turned back. We headed south through Orem, over to University Ave,
south to the country club, then back north up University Ave to Orem
800 North then back up through Orem to home. We ran the 12.25
miles in 1:43:20 (8:27/mi). We started out at about a 9:15/mi pace, ran
most of the run right around 8:30/mi, then finished with 1.5 miles at
about 8:00/mi and then the final mile at 7:18/mi. I was having a hard time hanging with Paul and Wayne the last few miles. I attribute that to two things: lack of miles and lack of GU and Gatorade.

| Paul didn'Thx - Kevin show at 7:30am as we had agreed and due to the actively falling snow/slush, I did not feel like running outside solo. Decided to go to BYU but didn't make it over till around 8:25. Ran 4 miles at 7:50 pace at the BYU track. I had planned on running 8 miles but was kicked off the track at 9am by the BYU track team. The traffic was light probably due to Pres. Day holiday Maybe I can pick up a few miles later in the day with my girls.

Got out with Paul and we ran through Orem for a little over 6 miles. Our pace started slow. It picked up a little the last couple of miles,
but neither of us felt very fast this morning. We averaged 8:17/mi
overall, warming up a mile or so at around an 8:50 pace, averaging
around 8:20 for most of the run, and ending at 7:36/mi.
Felt pretty good throughout, though the first two miles were tough as I was waking up. Got to bed at 1am and 5:30am comes early. ****************** Got out on the mountain bike with Mark and his son, Matt for a night time ride with headlamps. We went up Dry Creek and over above the watertowers continuing up Provo Canyon until the mud got too thick and gooey. Was out for nearly two hours. Pace was rather brisk as there were a lot of hills and we were traveling at a pretty good pace. I imagine that this ride is easily the equivalent of 8 miles of hill running and I have added to my "running" total for today.

| Ran with Larry and Wayne. Temps were in the low 20s. Ran along th canal into PG and then ran up to Battlecreek. We meandered down to Lindon City Park and then south to 12th North before heading out to the Cemetary Fields. Larry only wanted to run 6-7 miles, but Wayne and I talked him into almost 11. The pace was an easy 9 min per mile and it felt good. |

| In the morning I ran the normal Orem 400 E course with Paul. The
weather phone said it was 21 degrees and I dressed well for that
temperature. I was fine while we headed south. As soon as we turned
back north, however, we realized that we had been running with a
tailwind which was now a very cold headwind. My face got pretty cold
(numb) but the rest of me was okay. We took a few detours this
morning. First we took a minor detour at 400 S when we headed west to
go over to Main St. to go back north. We both were thinking we were on
400 N. 400 S does not intersect with Main St. When we saw State St.
approaching we turned back and went north on 400 E as usual. At 800 N,
we did go west to Main St. and stopped at Gold's Gym so I could use
their bathroom. There sure seemed to be a lot of people there on the
treadmills, etc. We then crossed over 800 N and made our way around the
construction to get onto Main St. and head home. We ended up doing
about 6.7 miles @ 8:23/mi. The first mile was @ 8:37/mi and the last
mile was @ 7:45/mi.

| Ran with Kerry and Paul in the afternoon. It was sunny and felt colder than I expected. The temperature was in
the low 30's with a cold breeze at times. Kerry had a little stomach
distress in the middle of the run. We went a little over 13 miles and averaged 8:32/mi
overall. After warming up we started out at about 8:13/mi for the next
few miles. We gradually slowed as we turned north and headed uphill for
a while. Kerry had stashed water and Gatorade at a couple of places,
and we also stopped for a bio-break at Kohlers. I feel like we held a
pretty good pace throughout the run, and we finished pretty strong,
averaging 7:52/mi for last 2.2 miles.

| Ran 5 miles on the BYU track at an average 7:25 pace. The first mile was at 7:50 and each mile therafter was between 7:10 and 7:20. The Air Force ROTC was there and would merge onto the track in waves "racing" me for a lap or two each time. I had some good tunes on my ipod and the racing made it kind of fun even though I was working pretty hard.

| Paul and I ran a variation on the normal Orem route this morning.
We kept each other going at a pretty good pace and averaged 7:52/mi for
6.3 miles. We ran down Main to 400 S, over to 400 E, down to
Center, over to 800 E, up to 1600 N, then down to Main and home. After the hill on 8the East we did the first 1/2 mile of the downhill at 6:50/mi
then averaged 6:30/mi for the second 1/2 mile, both of us finishing
with a pretty strong kick. We both felt like we had worked hard and felt very good about the run.

| Well I'm back at the running blog. I have been running 2-3 times a
week for a couple of months now since my doctor cleared me for running.
In case you don't remember, I broke my femur last March after the Moab
Half Marathon.
I was mountainbiking on the Slickrock trail and
crashed right at the end of the trail. It was an impact fracture and
broke into roughly 11 pieces high on my left leg. I have a 12 inch
plate and some 9 titanium screws now but the bone has healed admirably.
I am now trying to get my leg muscles back into shape. I have no
restrictions from my doctor but have noticed that I still limp a bit
beyond 3-4 miles or so of running. At seven miles this was one of the longer runs I've done since the injury. The pace was moderate as Jo was with Larry and me. We ran along the canal in the snow and had an enjoyable time talking. Temperature was in the mid 20s.

| Today's run was an easy 5 miles on the BYU track with my two teenage
girls. They can currently sprint faster than me, but I can still run
farther than them. My pace today was 2 miles at a 10 min/mile pace, 2
miles at a 9-9:30 min/mil pace and one mile at about 7:45 min/mile. I
was fairly tired at the end though I certainly could have gone a few
additional miles if pressed.
