| It was 34 degrees and windy this morning. It was a little cool running directly in to the South wind but it was rather nice the rest of the time. I saw Kory and Barry going up Satterfield a block or so ahead of me. Kory looked as fast as ever. I ran 10.54 miles easy after how crappy I felt yesterday. | |

| I needed to work early today so I put off my run until after work. It was 55 degrees and VERY windy (25-35mph) the entire run. I actually had tumbleweeds slam in to my legs and my eyes were red when I got back from all the dust. I did enjoy running in shorts so it was OK. I ran 11.12 miles. |

| It was 18 degrees this morning. I know.....but at least the winds were calm. Pretty cold for the 10th of April. Today was one of the strangest long runs ever. I had planned on running with Barry Smith today. I ran the 1/2 mile over to his house to pick him up and he said someone else was coming with us. He was a little late because he was pulled over on the way there and got a speeding ticket. We decided to have him park where he was and we would run to him and then run a loop with him. His name was Matt and he wanted to go 6 miles or so. We figured after we dropped him off we would then do a longer loop to get 20. Right before we finished the loop with Matt, Barry's cell phone rang and it was another person who was supposed to run with us. So we met him where we dropped off Matt and started another loop. I had about 7 miles in at this point. We ran the loop again, this time the opposite direction. The 2nd runner was a kid named Taylor. Right before we got to the top of Satterfield, I found a car key, debit card, school ID, and a gift card sitting in the middle of the street. I stopped to pick them up because I did not want the wrong person to find them. I caught up to the other 2 and luckily they recognized the name so we ran the stuff over to their house. We finished the 2nd loop and I now had 12.75 miles. We decided to run down to Reed gym because they were running a sprint triathlon today and we knew a couple people competing in it. Not a very good day for a bike ride as it was probably still only 20 degrees or so which is FREEZING cold on a bike ride. The swimming had been completed the night before in the ISU pool. We wished a few people good luck and headed back home. I dropped Barry off at his house and ran back home getting in just over 20 miles........but a weird 20 miles at that.

| It was 55 degrees and windy this morning. The temperature was great as the wind and the clouds kept it from getting cold. Nice to wear shorts again. I ran 10.81 miles easy with a few good miles in the middle. I also crossed paths with Kory and Barry and ran my last mile and a half with them. |

| It was 37 degrees at the top of Buckskin this morning but we knew it was going to warm up nice so we ran in shorts and short sleeves. After about 5 miles it was just perfect. I ran with Barry Smith this morning and we wanted another long run today. We ran 22.13 miles with 12 really solid miles after we warmed up the first 2. Barry had a tight hamstring so we were really slow the first 2 miles to get him warmed up. It was 57 degrees when we finished just past Century high school. What an AWESOME morning for a run! | |

| It was another nice day and I have the day off so I decided to do a nice, easy long run. It was 37 degrees when I left and 57 when I finished. It was a great morning. I ran 23.12 miles easy and took an ice bath after. Now it's time for some yard work before the weather gets worse later this week. | |

| It was 40 degrees and fairly calm this morning. Barry was having problems with his hamstring again so we decided not to go too long. We met up with a bunch of other runners in the first mile and ended up running with them and then the groups split again (Barry headed back home) and I was running with a new group. I was back alone again after 13 and finished the last 4 miles strong. I ran 17.61 miles and this was so far my best mileage week of the year. | |

| It was 55 degrees this morning. That was good. Unfortunately the wind was blowing 25-35 mph so it was a tough go of it. I ran 16.74 miles and was glad to be done. | |
