Happy New Year! Glad to see the site back up. I ran in the heat of the day around down town, which was pretty deserted. Sucking in that increasingly bad air. New treadmill coming to the office but not here yet as of Friday am.

Treadmill at the Grand America in 40 minutes. Kept it easy but decided to go up to 12 momentarily to test and there was no aggravation. So that's certainly good. Air here sucks. Treadmill again tomorrow.

I did 135 treadmill miles in 2014 with the last session on July 21. It has not been missed, but January (inversion) and July (heat) are the months for it.

11th Ave out and back from Red Butte with Adam and Nate. Been a long time since I've seen Nate and it sounds like he continues to have some issues. Nice 8:07 pace above the worst of the inversion.

Treadmill miles on the new treadmill at the office. It's the same as the old one, Precor 932i. Felt fine. Just over 45 minutes total.

I was cleared of restrictions by the doc today. I will be upping my long run to 8-9 this weekend and 1-1.5 more each week.

Treadmill at work. I can see the haze to the east of my office up in the mountains now. I can't make out this is the place monument a quarter mile to the south. So yeah. I felt good and did one quicker mile at 5:52 pace then speeding up to 5:00 pace for the last minute for a 5:47 mile at a 1 incline. I'll take that as marathon pace. 45 minutes total

Long run :) with Adam from the JCC to the capitol via 11th. Felt good. A tiny bit of SI joint pain in the latter half but I think it was ok. 7:33 pace with 600 ft of hills. Inversion is better in the AM with some night clearing of the car pollution.

Treadmill at the office during the rain. I am a wimp for rain. I progressed up to where I did another mile in the 5:45 range. Felt good throughout though there was pain when running 5:00 pace. 50 minutes total all at a 1 incline.

I took yesterday off and went skiing for the first time ever. I took a lesson and my sense is it won't be hard to pick up. I inventoried and there were no pains in the legs today so that's good.

Wasatch out and back from work in the slushy snow. Wonderful lunch time run. I did a bit in a muddy trail at Matheson State Park so I am officially a trail runner again. 50 minutes total.

I ran in Sugar House around the perimiter of the park twice and through the SHIT twice. Sluggish the first mile and decided today could be a shorter day since I am already squeezed for time. 7:29 average

Fritz has developed a pretty solid Salt Lake crew. A varied core other than he and JP but we got 9 guys out this morning for a long run (longish run for me). Nice loop from Feldmans up in to, wait for it, Holladay! 6:53 average for the run for me. 

James was there and I ran with him and Dan Bishop for a bit. Dan is a solid guy and a strong runner (he apparently negative split TOU 1:17/1:16 which is a tough thing to do).

Lunch run to 1500 E and 2100 S. It's a loop I don't like since I run down a 600 ft hill and back up. I need to be in shape for it to be easy. I'm not in the great of shape. 55 minutes total. Another beautiful day and a Trevor Baker sighting.

BST run with Adam, Nate and Pete. It was slippery and muddy and I had the wrong shoes. Also a biting wind going north. Otherwise mostly ok. I tripped and fell so I didn't like that. Just under 55 minutes.

No workout for the first day this year (other than ski day which is kind of a workout). Too too busy right now.

Morning run from HHS with Fritz, Dan, Neal and 7+ with the legendary Rob Murphy. 12 miles isn't as easy as it used to be - last time I ran that far, I had to give up after running into Rob in Liberty Park last september. 7:01 pace
