ran my favorite loop in sandy, up around brighton high school. The hills in sandy are murder, but i suppose it all makes me stronger. they remind me how easy the hills in Boston were.

The roads are actually nice enough in some parts to run in this tundra, and by tundra I mean Rexburg Idaho. Just trying to build a base and feel nice heading into hopefully good marathon training for spring.

Ran the loop run up the hill in rexburg and then down through the neighborhoods and parks. Nice day, run felt good and I felt really strong.

This has been finals week and  my running, tragically has not been what it should. I was still happy to get out and run a little today. I still need to find a sea level marathon for sometime in the spring

This run is so easy mentally for me because i can break it into four sections that don't seem to hard. My bread and butter 8.8 miler. Some snow and traffic dodging are the downsides, and sometimes i have to wait for the lights which sucks but still had a really enjoyable run.

This went from awful to great. Started out okay... I was really tired today. The goal was 10, which is really my daily milage goal (per the advice of Sasha to run 10 miles everyday with the long run being 20.) I was ready to call it 2-3 miles in. Just that point where the fibers in the legs are aching and you feel like you might collapse or fall asleep running. I just made it to the top of the first hill section and told myself I could finish. Made it to about mile 6 felt really good. I ran negative splits the last 4 miles and was really happy to be able to finish. These are the kind of runs that really aren't possible on a treadmill for me, its just too easy to quit on a treadmill so I treasure every single day I can go outside and run.

Sandy utah to Spokane washington means 2 or 3 thousand feet less of elevation. 6 easy miles this morning was really easy and fun.  3.75 miles at 6:40 pace was really nice, not hard.

ran 10 miles in new kayano 16's. Rolled my ankle really bad at about 8 1/2. getting ice and compression, rest and the whole thing so hopefully I'll be ok to run in maybe less than a week. It really sucks but, I'm grateful for the times i've been able to run and ill be back soon.
