It was 23 degrees and foggy this morning. I ran 6.52 miles easy to try to get back in the swing of things.

Last week I took an overdue break.....

The truth of the matter is I have been running in pain for months now. I have had several nagging injuries and pain that just won't go away. I tried running less miles with less intensity but that wasn't enough. I needed to just stop for a few days and just heal. I should have listened to my body more and done this earlier. My performances in the Pocatello and St. George marathons were due to the fact that any time I tried to run fast, it just plain hurt. When I ran the Just Cuz 1/2 marathon a few weeks ago I tried to take it easy and that hurt too.

I need to get back to pain-free, enjoyable running. Today was better.

I ran 8.25 easy miles on my treadmill this morning. It is amazing how taking just a week off decreases your stamina.

It was a balmy 6 degrees this morning. The official low at the airport was 1, but it was a few degrees warmer on the bench. I dressed warm and made it through 8.53 miles with my eyelashes trying to freeze together because my eyes were watering from the cold. I guess I'm not quite used to it yet. My neck warmer was coated with ice when I got home......Yay winter....NOT!

Saucony Omni 7 Miles: 8.53

It was 13 degrees and snowing/blowing on Buckskin this morning. We had a couple inches of fresh snow and it was a bit slick coming down the hill. Barry and I ran 10.03 miles in a slow pace (thanks Barry) and had great conversation along the way.
