Boise, ID 6:30 am

Pace: 8:34

Didn't get much sleep. Got up in the middle of the night because I was wide awake and for some reason thought it would be a good idea to watch Deliverance. Not the best "help you fall back to sleep" movie.

 Anyway, once I got my butt out of bed and on the street, I felt ok. Not as cold as I expected.

I lifted weights last night -- first time in about 10 months. I will be glad I started up again in about two weeks. For now it kind of sucks. That and a cold that can't decide if it wants to hit me in full force or not had me feeling pretty lousy this morning. But I went out anyway and as usual, I felt better somewhere around mile 2. I didn't push myself, but put in the miles becasue pain is always better than guilt (almost always).

 I took Wednesday off. The cold had gotten worse and I needed a rest day. Still feeling kind of lousy this morning, but I went out and ran anyway -- slowly. Besides the cold in my head my boobs hurt (pecs actually). Still sore from working out on Monday.

Pouring down rain the whole run. I was smart and didn't bundle up under the rain jacket this time, so I didn't get too hot. When we got to the corner of Duane and Ustick, there was a small break in the cars after a school bus. Randy said "should we go?" I didn't say anything until the bus passed and then I yelled "no." By then Randy had taken off and had to wait for my wussy butt to cross after a big line of cars went by.

Nampa, ID 1:20 pm

Pace: 8:28

The kids had a birthday party in Nampa today, so I killed time by going for a run. I started at Lone Star Middle School and took Lone Star Rd. to Lake Ave and along side Lake Lowell for a little ways then Iowa Road to Middleton and back to the school.

I hadn't run anyplace new for a long time, so it was really nice. Saw some chickens, cows and llamas (or alpacas. I can't tell the difference). I had also never seen the lake before. It's a lake. About all I can say for it.

It was also nice to run in shorts for a change.

Colder than usual this morning. Felt pretty good. It's nice that the sun is starting to come up by the end of the run. Spring will be here some day.

Ran kind of slow today. Wasn't really feeling it. I think I was just tired.

I stepped off curb to cross McMillian this morning and landed on my back. Not sure how that happened. Now my ankle is sore.

I took Thursday off because my ankle was still sore. Now I feel sick. Hacked up some green stuff. Cut the run short.

Was feeling really sick over the weekend. Chest cold. Feeling better today, but not 100%. Off to Utah tonight.

Ran in to work. Took the short way in. Springville Stink wasn't too bad this morning.

Ran in again this morning. Stressing over work and had an 8:30 meeting, so I called my wife and told her to stop and pick me up instead of honking and driving on when she passed me on her way to work.

Last day in Utah for this trip. Ran in to work with a light snow falling. Took a lap around the building to get my weekly mileage up to 30 so I don't feel like I have to run tomorrow. But I still might.

It got cold again. I ran by myself this morning because I forgot to check my email last night and Randy wasn't dumb enough to run in the cold unless I was running too.

Another cold morning. Dressed more warmly than yesterday. I need to remember to wear the thicker running pants when it's below 30.

Not as cold anymore but pouring down rain. I didn't overdress, so that was nice, but I forgot the band-aids. Ouch

A good little run on a nice day. Sun was out and I wore shorts. A big dog ran at me but his owner was there and I was pretty sure he wouldn't rip my leg off, so I wasn't too worried.
