Happy 2012! Still running, but now I am getting back into running and posting! Okay, after watching my Broncos lose to the Chiefs (ugly game, but at least the Raiders lost so we're still in the playoffs), I headed out for me first run of 2012. It turned out to be a 17.1 mile run over to the Cottonwood Country Club then over to Sugar House Park and back. If I was not recovering from the flu, I would have gone for more miles, but this felt great!

For my non-running workout, I completed my typical 300 sit-ups.

Today I went into the office and knocked out 10.2 miles on the treadmill in my Zero Drop Altras.  Actually, I am loving these shoe; that is, not only did I when them in the drawing, but they feel great on my feet.

Same as yesterday, I went into the office early and knocked out 10.2 miles on the treadmill in my Zero Drop Altras.  Out of this distance, I did 0.74 of a mile backard in an effort to strengthen my legs and lengthen my stride.  Also, it was my running buddy Dave’s birthday today.  Good luck to him in running his years in miles (i.e., 50 is a lot of miles)!

My non-running workout just consisted of my typical 300 sit-ups.

Absolutely a recovery day for me; that is, after work I hit the treadmill for 2.3 miles at an easy pace before calling it a day.

Just an easy pace 6.2 miler on the treadmill today before heading off to work.  Was great to see Dave and hear about the 50 miler he did for his birthday on Tuesday.

I started out planning to only run a10 miler, but then I got in the zone.  As a result, before work I knocked out 13.5 miles on the treadmill with 10.4 miles at an easy pace and 5k of this distance at a marathon pace.
