First run of 2016. I tweaked my back at the wAIRhouse jumping too high. I was afraid to make it worse and rested a few days despite my plans to become a perfect person starting January 1. 

I ran three nice and easy on the treadmill and it didn't seem to worsen. I believe I am ok going forward. I am having minor nagging back troubles (also correlated to my SI joint) for the first time in my life. I've always feared back injuries.

At noon with temps at about 40, I did a Wasatch out and back from the office. About 45 minutes. Back tweak is now a muscle ache and minor - I think that means it will be gone soon.

Ran with Fritz at 8 AM from Highland high school. Felt pretty good though my back was bothering me the entire time. Still not something I am worried about long term but no fun to deal with. 714 pace for me

From the office to and around sugar house park. Snowing at the start and a lovely run through Harvard Yale. I was feeling better after a day off but this is one of those runs that is all down in the first half and all up in the second half and that is never overly fun. 66 minutes total:

Snowy pipeline run with Fritz and Roo. Beautiful day but a somewhat treacherous run. A few falls each and visions of me snowballing down the mountain danced in my head. 9:03 pace according to my Garmin

At 11:30, I ran from work up emigration and back. I was a bit more aggressive with 7:30 uphills and 6:20 downhills and that made me work a bit. Legs were tiring in the last mile/ascent back to the office. 7:15 average

I met a big group at Highland high school for a big boy run. Fritz has them on his blog other than Andrew whom he doesn't seem to care for. I was dragging a bit but felt OK. 655 pace for the run for me.

Ran from liberty with Fritz, Dan and Anthony. Oh and JP with a beard. It was snowy and slushy but pretty warm. Five days in a row for me is a lot and I am a little worn at this point. 727 average for me
