Boise New Year's Day 5k (3.11 Miles) 00:22:39, Place overall: 26, Place in age division: 3 | | After the injuries, sickness, laziness and bad eating habits of the past few months, I knew I wasn't ready for this one. But, I hadn't raced in a long time, and this one is so darn fun, I gave it a go anyway. Not as bad as I had feared. The whole field was slowed down a bit because of the 17 degree weather and falling snow that hid the black ice patches on the greenbelt. I kept the first mile under 7 minutes, but then slowed down by about a half minute for the rest of the way. As usual, the race ended with good soup, good conversation and football on the tvs. Not a bad way to start off the new year.

| | Boise, ID 12:30pm Pace: 8:28 Randy made a new rule, if it is below 10 degrees, we don't run. It was 7 this morning. So, I went out for a noon run. It was still cold.

| | Boise, ID 6:15am Pace: 8:26 It begins now. I weighed in and it looks like I need to lose about 20 lbs by Ogden. Should be manageable. I also need to add another workout of some sort every day. I'm going to strt out with weightlifting in the garage. There, I've written it down and put it on the internet. If I fail, the world will know that I'm a pathetic loser.

| | Boise, ID 11am Pace: 8:53 Needed a longer run. Went through the wetland area at McMillian and Maple Grove. Saw a few people sledding down the hill and then across the ice. Didn't they see It's A Wonderful Life?

| | Boise, ID 12:30pm Pace: 8:04 Too cold to run in the am. Randy suggested that we don't run when it's below 10 degrees. From now on, I'm calling it the Randy Rule. Went out at lunch time and got in a good run with a decent pace considering the snow on the ground.

Boise, ID 7:30am Pace: 8:48 7 miles. Waited an extra hour before running in case it warmed up a bit. It didn't. Pulled the treadmill out of the garage and ran three miles in the evening.

Boise, ID 6:15am Pace: 8:57 Modified Randy Rule this morning. We only ran about a mile and a half. Then I went and ran three and a half more because I'm not that bright. Did 3 more miles on the treadmill in the evening. I hate the treadmill.

| | Boise, ID 4:15pm Pace: 7:51 Texted Randy this morning "Are we running? It's 2 degrees" Randy: "No. Mine reads -2" So I ran in the afternoon. Felt good to get a good hard run in. Finally kept the pace below 8. Had a crappy eating weekend, so I needed that.

| | Boise, ID noon Pace: 7:43 5.55 miles at lunch. It was zero this morning, so I ran later. The streets are starting to dry up a bit and the snow is packed more on the edges, so I was able to put together a better pace today. Gradually getting skinnier and faster. Feeling a little more optimistic. 3 miles on the treadmill in the evening.

| | Boise, ID noon Pace: 8:50 The ice is mostly gone but this was still a rough one. Too hot running with the wind, too cold running into the wind and a lot of slush and water everywhere.

Boise, ID 6:15am Pace: 8:35 Ran with Randy for the first time in a while. The weather dropped again, so the sidewalks were really slick. I actually went down once, but no damage done. Did three more on the treadmill in the evening.

| | Boise, ID 6:15am I looked at the thermometer and it read 36. I thought, great, it's finally above freezing. It should be a nice run. I went outside and the world was a sheet of ice. So Randy and I stumbled along for two and a half miles. I ran like I had to go to the bathroom -- very gingerly, trying to avoid an accident. Afterward I got on the treadmill and did four more. Getting more used to the treadmill. I watched Match Game and Twilight Zone reruns.
