Spent most of the evening psychoanalysing, so it was after 10 by the time I got on the treadmill.  Afterward, I was unable to sleep, and spent the next 2 hours watching Downton Abbey.

All the shoes are geting up there.  Running while sick is sick.  I felt better than I have all day while I was running, but afterward was a different story.  Luckily the boys were still awake and happy, so we spent an hour growling and wrestling on the floor.  It's hard to feel lousy when kids are laughing.

I'm currently running in 3 pairs of shoes @ 455 miles +/- 10.  I wonder if this has anything to do with my sore back.

The snot no longer flows in copious amounts.  I'm glad to be feeling better.

BST to Freedom hills with south trails add-on.  The highlight of this run was having clean shorts when I got home.  Stomach ache.

I'm hardly worthy to be a part of this blog anymore.  I guess I could retitle it "fastrunning"blog.com.

Then I'd fit right in.

There is a certain amount of comfort or familiarity in this evening ritual.

The cover has been off my treadmill motor for 2 months now.  It shouldn't be so hard to buy a bolt and machine a washer. :)

2 days off from running, woot woot.  I don't know why.  My daughter is home from BYU, so on Saturday we all went for a hike.  When we finished that, I just couldn't get it together to get out the door.

Then I was going to run on Sunday.  But my parents wanted to pedal through the bird refuge instead.  By the time we finished, I came home for yummy soup, and never made it out...again.

So I turned the usual treadmill slog into a round 10. A couple years ago, I ran a half marathon in a shorter time than these 10 miles.   20 miler this Saturday.  Dread.

8 on the treadmill, 7-8-7-8-7-8-7-8 mph.  Then I played basketball for 75 minutes, so I'm giving that a mile.

The treadmill is my friend.  20 miler Saturday.  Gotta do one...or three.

My wife said my shoes smelled pretty bad, so she put them in the wash.  They still stink.

These rare, before work miles are tough.  I never seem to find a rhythm. 

That's a great spelling word.

Ski day tomorrow, maybe 13ish on Sunday.

After work miles, 10.75.  2 shows worth.  Man, I'm getting good at 8:20 pace.

Ski day.  Had a bit of a mishap involving a wrong turn and a 15' drop off a rock.  Luckily I landed straight.

Rt knee is jacked up.  Instacare gave me a clean bill of health on no bone injury, and based on all their wrenching and bending tests, major ligaments are intact.

But there is a lot of swelling and bruising on the back side.  Ultrasound with the sports med doc on tuesday to take a look at the hamstring.  Partial tear?
