| Split run today at the gym. 10 on the grinder mill, 500 yard swim, 6 again on the mill. Taking it easy, no pace in mind. |

| Woke up with a ridiculous cold today. It's been a long time since I had one of these. That means I can't go to work, bummer. I'm going to head south for Lake Powell then for a few days. Should be warmer running down there. Tried to burn it out, I seem to have fair luck with that. Spit run at the gym today with Brett. 10 tempo at 6min pace, 500 swim, 6easy. |

| I camped at the lake and ran 24 miles into Buckskin Gulch, Lake Powell and still didn't reach the end of this incredible slot canyon reported to be the longest in the world. I think I was within a mile or two though. Incredible running at 50 degrees up along the rock rim and down through the slot. With temps like this I was able to run this light today with only a Mt Dew and some Fig Newtons. Kept it slow and just took it all in. This has to be one of the top five trails I've ever ran. Tonight I'm going to try and sneak down to the Res and do a night run through Antelope Canyon. No idea what the Navahos do if they catch you at that. Might have to go to work tomorrow night which would mean catching a flight out of Page so I have to get in here what I can. I took some video today running the terraces and the canyon. Can't wait to see it.

| Spent the day boating along the Wawheap area of Powell and getting the boat into storage. Afternoon I took the kayak out heading South. Not a boat on the lake tonight which I have never experienced, water was glass. I did the longest kayak trip I have ever done, 11 miles past Glenn Canyon through Antelope down into Navajo. Had to portage the kayak six times, once over a mile and a half As exhausted as I can ever remember being. It was warm at first but after 11pm the temp dropped fast and the water spraying over the front was freezing on my face and hands. A few hours later I was covered in a coat of ice but loving every minute. Just unreal experience. Seven hours as hard as I could go. |

| Headed out of Powell after a two hour nap to get the kids for the rest of the week. Long drive but still high from the night kayaking. Short run in Escalante on the way. |

| Gym workout. 6 miles @ 6min pace, 750 meter swim, 6 miles @ 6 min pace. Celebrated my bday with my daughter who was born two weeks early right on my birthday twelve years ago. Love that little rascal... Got her her first kayak so she can start hitting the lakes with me. |

Day off. Short run with a few hours of ice skating with the kids. I look forward to new articles that pop up from Ian Hunter but this latest one has zero content. Put one foot in front of the other...

| Supposed to be off in Texas today running a cool trail race but family things kept me home. On the flip side it meant a much more relaxed few days with the kids. We spent four hours in the Layton wave pool last night. Good V02 max workout today with 6X1miles and 8X100s for a little speedwork. I am continually amazed this year how far out if shape I have allowed myself to get. Spent the afternoon at the high school open meet at Utah State hanging out with the Mantzes. Claire got fourth in the 1600 with a great start and Conner ran an awesome 1600 taking first. Wished I had had time to hang out through the rest of the day to watch. I had time to catch up with Corbin Tally and Bill Cobler. The Alta coach and his team were probably sleeping in, or spending the day reading weekend obituaries. |

That's a good write up about why us working guys run. I especially love his quote that a good day running is like flying.
I'm getting in my vitamin D this morning along Huntington Beach LA. Pretty sore today but expected.

| Being rather tired of hating the cold and fearing a good run in it, I left the kids at my parents tonight for a few hours and did a long night run. 12 degrees, hot hand packets gripped in my gloves, and I froze. Eyelashes freezing together, face numb, back of my jacket frozen into a solid sweat shield by the end. But I made it. Why do I live here? |

| Cold run up Crimson Trail with Brett highstepping in the snow. Took us 1.5 hours to run 7.5 miles up and down. Then I headed over to the Spectrum and ran 20 second sprints with two minute jogs between for another 30 minutes. |

| Drove down to Galveston from Houston and surfed through the early morning. Mostly gentle waves almost not worth the effort but for the feeling of being on the water. Did a long run along the Gulf coast after. Last day of five at work, the longest trip away from home I have done in a long time. But a good one.

| Busy day at home fitting in running where I could.
4.5 in the morning up Rattlesnake Trail highstepping in the snow before the kids got up. Hard crust breaking through and cutting up my shins. Had red socks when I got back home.
6 mid day easy at the gym making phone calls while running.
4 along the deer fence trail evening after snow kayaking with the kids.

| Snow shoe running along the Wellsvilles today. This distance took over three hours. Running in snow shoes is kind of like tying 10 lb bags of flour on your shoes and running in 8 inches of mashed potatoes for hours. |

| First Circuit race of the year and I had a good time with this one. We were staying with the Murphys this weekend and this gave me a chance to catch up on old times with Rob and get in this race. I knew that I would get a good butt kicking since I haven't done any real training yet and haven't felt that old energy for the road racing, but today brought a lot of that back. Time to set aside some of the trail fun and get training. This will be the best year for Masters on the Circuit ever.
5 mile warm up. The race felt really fast for me, seeing over 17 at the finish line was a surprise. But that's to be expected seeing how the first mile was faster than I have ran since the Alta race last Fall. It was a ton of fun and I'm excited to have something to push hard for now. The Masters are competitive this year! Rob ran a great 5k, pulling a 17:50 out of nowhere. Steve Ash looked way smooth. He's going to have a good year. Sasha is as steady as a rock, the usual. Walter is pretty much the man at the longer distance stuff. Dennis can come out 50 and still show us all who's boss. Scott is going to have to be the target. :-) He's in a league of his own right now.
3.8 at lunch taping video with the Boston crowd.

| Cold run in Trenton, New Jersey. Not going to be much time for running this week. My grandfather had a stroke Friday and has steadily been getting worse. I was the last person who had a conversation with him. The man lived a life of spirit, a construction explosives expert, a logger, a small business owner, a guy who defined every bit of who I decided I wanted to be. I really have no idea what life will feel like if he won't be around any more. |

| My grandfather might make it through this stroke. Probably not leave a wheelchair again and with half his body paralyzed life has changed. Had a two hour break today from sitting with him at the hospital and went down to the Oval for a workout. What a strange feeling that was, to leave there and go run intervals. It will be a while before I complain about how slow I am again. Yasso 800s tonight. Time to begin shaking off the long, fun running I've been doing and work on some turn over. Also need a benchmark of where I stand. 2 mile warm up, 10X800 2:43 to 2:47, identical rest between, two mile cool down. Steady run and according to the calculator that puts me about 2:48 marathon shape. I'm guessing that's about right. |
