Did a warm on the treadmill until my calf started to get tight then moved to the eliptical for an aerobic threshold workout. 60 minutes keeping my heartrate between 165-170, maintained the same cadence throughout. Finished with 11.7 'miles' in an hour. 15 minutes on the spin bike for a cooldown. Felt great to push myself. I am dedicated to maintain and even gain fitness through the recovery process from this injury. Day one in the books. This wouldn't beat me!

Did an easy 8 on the treadmill after getting a massage from Sariah. Pretty sore so I stopped early.

Met Ben Riley Albert and Bret in North Ogden. Temp said 22 but man it felt way colder. It might also be because I shaved off my beard. I miss my man scarf. Minimal pain. Was kinda giddy the whole run to be back out with the boys. Looking forward to some good mileage the next couple weeks.

After reading Riley Cook's 2013 Running Awards, I thought it would be fun to open some of the awards up to a vote so I made a survey. If I left anyone off, I did this quickly on a whim so I meant no offense. Write them in, and they will be listed as a choice for future Voters.

Today was a tester run to see if I was going to do the St George Half or not. We got maybe an inch of snow up here last night so was unsure what the pace was going to be today. Started easy but by the second mile we were at 6:30 and by the 4th mile we were running 6:10. We held that pace until mile 9 which was 5:50 then I maintained 5:45 through 14 miles. Benny Van B decided he was feeling good and started to push the pace. So I was dropped runng 5:40s the last two miles soundly. I wanted to ensure I didn't push it too hard and reinjure the calf. 6:30 pace on the way back in. Feeling very good about going out and just using the St George Half as a 13 mile tempo run as I am recovering from the calf problem. See everybody down there!
