| TM run at the aquatic center before work. Lifted weights. Not sure why I disappeared from the blog for several weeks. I got pretty busy and than just kind of got out of the rhythm of blogging. But I am back! Thanks Rhett, DoG and Flat for nudging me back here.

Ran on the TM at the aquatic center. Within the first minute I knew it was going to be a pleasant run and I wasn't disappointed. I felt great for the entire run and only have a little soreness today (Sunday). If I stay consistent I might just be able to get myself ready for a respectable showing at the Canyonlands half in March.

| I had planned to ride the stationary bike right after work but the weight room was so full of people that I had to run on the TM instead as that was the only thing open. I was still a little sore from saturday so I ran a gentle slow 3 miles. Visited with Jeanna and Dick who were on either side of me. |

| Nice easy 3 miler tonight at the aqt center. Today I sat down and made a workout chart to follow to get me ready for Moab in 6weeks. I need the focus of having a chart to mark off every day.

| 20 min stationary bike. Lifted weights. This morning I was very irritated at my teenage son over some issues I won't get in to here. So I cranked up the resistance on the bike and pounded out a hard 20 minutes and then lifted weights. It didn't make the problem go away but it sure makes me feel better.

| Nice TM run. I had only planned on doing 10 but felt so good I decided to tack another one on for good measure. Went for a walk around the neighborhood by the gym afterwards. The cold night air and the walk was a great cool down. It felt really good. I need to do that more often.

Ran with Rich early in the morning. It was VERY cold! No wind though and an incredibly beautiful sunrise. We talked about all of the usual stuff: family, church, job etc.
Getting close to time to start to taper for the Moab half.

| 40 min cross training. The gym was very crowded...again. That's starting to get a little old. I don't mind having a lot of people around but I'm not used to having to wait to us the equipment. I'm thinking strongly about switching over to "anytime fitness". The 24 hour access sounds very nice. The price is what makes me a little nervous.

On TM before work. Finally got to run after a week of being VERY sick. I'm not quite better but felt good enough to run today. Time off like that really helps me to remember why I love to run and what an important part of my life it is.

| Very humbling. I was just in no shape at all to run the Moab half so I ran the 5 miler. I'm not even going to post it as a race. Still had a great time down there. My friend Rich ran the half and I was able to run him in the last mile.

| 40 min bike ride. Beautiful sunny, cool weather.
Left from my house and tried to go up orchard way. First steep hill was brutal and I had to push my bike part of the way. The next mile was fine until I hit more steep hills. They never look that steep when you drive them. I finally turned around and sailed back home. Kept going past Mrs Howard's house up the dirt road to make it an even 40. GREAT workout. I'm still feeling the glow of it several hours later as I type this. I'm going to try running again on Saturday if everything feels good.

| Ran 3 Miles with my daughter this afternoon. Out and back from Dun Middle School. First run in two and a half weeks. My calf felt great. The ball of my right foot felt a little tender afterwards.
The weather was so nice and cool that we went home and got our bikes and rode 8 miles (40 min) from the church around the aqt center and up to the bike trail off of Wallace. Great ride. This bike thing is really starting to feel good to me.

| Didn't get out of my meetings until after 9pm. As I walked out of the church I was craving a run. Went home and ran on the treadmill in the garage while listening to Hank Williams Jr. on my mp3 player. I was dressed too warm (2 shirts) but decided to leave them both on and enjoy the good sweat. After I was done I sat for a long time on the back porch in the dark and watched the moonlight through the trees and listened to the creek. A relaxing end to a long day. |

| 20 min hard intervals on stationary bike at gym. In the past I haven't cared too much if my clothes were clean or not when I went to the gym. I will now never wear stinky clothes again. Today mine were clean but the heavy set lady on the bike next to me smelled really bad. To make it worse she kept fanning herself with a piece of paper which spread the smell even more. Nice lady I'm sure but it was disgusting. Guarantee you tomorrow my workout will be outside.

| 20 min stationary bike (hard 3/2 intervals) then 2 miles on TM at gym. My lower left leg felt a little sore this morning so I hesitated to run, but the warmup on the bike made all of the difference and my leg feels great. I hate being old enough to truly need a warm up to prevent injury, Used to just laugh at that recommendation when I was younger. |

My legs were still a little sore this morning from my last run so I didn't dare risk an injury by going out for another run. Instead I went to the gym and did 40 min of cross training. Intervals on the bike for 25 minutes and then intervals on the elliptical for 15. I love that elliptical! It is the kind where you can vary your stride all the way from a stair stepping motion up to a full out sprint all while it is in motion. It cranks my heart rate up and is very kind on my legs. I just hope the fitness it develops will transfer to my runs.

| Ran in the evening with my daughter after watching the Oregon Ducks receive an old fashioned whuppin from LSU. We ran from Grandhaven around the steel mill and up by the Gillas' to the Pardee's. Nice run. Not quite as sweet as last weeks long run, but still good. It was a clear starry sky night with a beautiful half moon. Great conversation with my daughter who will be turning 14 this month. I'm glad we have running in common as it will help keep us close through the turbulent teens.

Took the family to the Oregon State fair today. Ate too much junky food hence the need to wait until late to workout. Had to let it digest a bit.

| Evening run. Same route and time as last week, just an extra mile tacked on the end. Had a barking dog dart out of a driveway right before the gillas' house. I had my pepper spray and was ready to light him up, but when I turned to face him he put his tail down and ran back home. Coward. I don't like those dog encounters, but the extra epinephrine and cortisol my adrenal glands dumped into my blood stream did make the next mile or so a little easier.
This was a very difficult run and I'm not sure why. My breathing felt labored and my legs heavy the entire run. I guess some runs just feel this way. All I can do to fight back is get better quality workouts during the week, plenty of rest and better nutrition. Losing about ten pounds would make a huge difference too.

| Sweet evening run. 2 laps around stake center and duniway (our old bike route). Cool comfortable run. Nothing too eventful, just the usual somewhat strange people that are out walking the sidewalks late at night. Cant believe I felt so good running 8 after not a single bit of exercise all week. I guess it was just a looong taper. I know I can't get away with that on a regular basis. |

| Nice soothing, relaxing 5 miler. Ran the church, chamber, wallace, bike path route in the dark at about 8pm.
I have been reading George Sheehan lately. Tonight I followed one of his recommendations regarding perceived effort. He said to have a very relaxing run, try running at about an effort of 6 on a scale of 1-10. I did and found that I had to constantly slow myself down. I think I usually try to push an 8.5 or 9 which is kind of stressful if done every workout. This is probably all pretty basic stuff for most people, but it is a new concept for me. Pretty cool!

| Evening 10 Miler. Felt a little weak and ill and stressed and run down so I decided to do the Jeff Galloway run/walk thing. 3 min run/2min walk alternated for the whole 10 miles. I was stunned to see that it only added 11 min on to my total time as compared to my last 10 miler that I ran all the way through. Not sure how the math on that could work, but it did. |

| Legs still a little sore form Saturday so I did 30 min stationary bike at the gym. It just dawned on me today that instead of coping with a 30 min boring ride by watching ESPN I could try something different. I decided to do a tempo ride. Did it just like you would a run. It was awesome! A much better workout and not too boring. Not sure if biker people do tempo rides or if this is my own creation but it was good.

| Late night after meetings. From the Stake Center around Memorial Elementary and ending at Hill Road. Legs were heavy. Not a particularly enjoyable run but I felt relaxed and a bit of a runners high as I walked back to my car in the dark. Very chilly, almost cold enough for hat and gloves. |

| Flew out to Louisville to run with my good friend who is the warden of a federal prison just outside of Somerset. It was great fun to see him and his wife again. We stayed in a hotel in Louisville to avoid what would have been a three hour drive from his house. I didn't sleep much, probably because of the time change (3 hours) and just being in a hotel room. Finally fell asleep at about 130 am. The alarm went off at 6 am and I staggered out of bed and started to dress. As I was getting ready I checked my email on my phone and Dale had posted a note to me here on the board. I took it as a good omen, as I haven't been on the blog for a few weeks. Thanks Dale! The race started in front of the KFC Yum Center (no kidding, that's what it is called). Before the gun went off, they did two things that I thought were very cool: they played the star spangled banner and had an opening prayer...I'm not kidding, they had someone give a prayer over the loud speakers while two thousand runners bowed their heads, listened and said amen. At that point I knew for sure I wasn't in Oregon anymore! My race was pretty uneventful. As you can tell by my time, I wan't very well prepared. I took a number of walking breaks and just enjoyed the beautiful scenery as we wound through parks and the inner city of Louisville. All and all the whole thing was a lot of fun. I would love to go back next year and be prepared to run fast.

| Beautiful, sunny cold morning in the Pacific Northwest. Great running weather. Ran out and back on BCreek from my house. Haven't ran in nearly two weeks as I have had a very bad cold/bronchitis. Glad I finally got rid of it. Felt great to get back in action, but I'm always amazed by how much fitness is lost with just 2 weeks off.

Ran on the TM before work and then added 10 min on the bike and 5 on the elliptical. Still trying to gently ease back in to things after bronchitis. No coughing so far today!

| Went to my old gym today as our membership still hasn't expired yet. Amazing how fast things change. They have gotten rid of my favorite stationary bike! I tried a new recombinant one and it was actually pretty cool. It had a lot of electronic gadgets on it and I got a good, hard 30 minute workout. I guess sometimes change is good.
