Saw the doctor today and got clearance to start running. Only a 5% chance of re-herniating the disc. Foot numbness may be permanent. Surgery and injections are both bad options. P/T may help with education on how to keep back/core safe and strong.

Canal Banks - 18:25

My first "real" run in many months. After getting clearance to start running, I did 4 days of some jog/walks of about 20 minutes to ease back into it. Today I ran the whole way. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. For now, it feels great, especially on a nice spring afternoon.

Earlier in the day I waked about 2 miles easy on the greenbelt with Emily and Nica.

A.M. - Run to work - 20:22

With warmer weather, clearance to start running and no childcare pickups for a while, it is a great time to start commuting to work. GPS measures it as 2.55 so round trip we'll call it 5. Felt full of energy this morning and it wasn't too bad of a run.

P.M. - Run home - 19:41

It was warm out and I was tired and dehydrated. The runs home will suck on the busy roads at that time of afternoon. Oh well, it's only 20 minutes. Average pace of 7:37/mile - way faster than I've run in months.

Long run (for me right now) at 7:30 a.m. Just tried to make it an hour going as slowly as I needed for everything to feel OK and not fall apart. Did a 0.25 mile pickup at the end of the run to turn over the legs. Felt pretty good, but right calf, knee and hamstring were all a little bit "off."

Hulls Gulch+ - No time

Long run with a group from the YMCA. Up Hulls and onto the upper Hulls trail, back on the ridge and down into the Military Reserve. Did a hard mile with two of the guys in the reserve, which pretty much ensured my last 15 minutes was a full on jog. 

Took a lot out of me, but I'm happy I pushed the envelope a little bit today.

Mission Bay Path - 51:08

In San Diego for a few days, and I took a nice evening run from the hotel. A few hours earlier I'd enjoyed a double burger, fries/onion rings, coke and milkshake from Hodad's, and we'd had a bit a of a long day of travel. But once I got going, it was great. Tons and tons of runners out, and on the way back to the hotel, I picked it up and started picking people off. Finished with a 6:10 mile and a 2:55 half before a short cool down.

Middle Fork Rd. - 1:00

A great morning run with a brisk temp of 17 degrees when I started. Completely quiet and tranquil the whole run - no vehicles, no people the entire run. Gradual uphill on the way out made for a quicker return trip, with the last four miles under 7;00/mile pace. Hit snow and ice at mile 3.5 so I had to tread carefully for a bit. Overall pace was sub-7:20, so a solid run. For some reason, I was pretty spent for the next several hours - kind of like I'd run a race.

Took the girls out in the double stroller for a few minutes, then did the rest of the run with Emily. Average pace of around 11:00/mile. Hadn't run with Emily for a long time! It was nice to get out on a really warm late afternoon.

Ran 35 minutes with Emily while pushing the girls in the double stroller. Then finished with 12 steady minutes (sub 7:00/mile) around the neighborhood. Super cold out, and going to be much colder.

Great run around the canals and the streets. Took it pretty easy for the most part, with a hard pickup from the Zub's house home.

Tamarack resort - 23+

In Tamarack for a few days. Took my first run in at least 10 days - have been down for the count with the flu or something. Great to be out running but coughed up a lot of nasty green stuff afterwards.

P.M. - Skate skiing 30+ minutes - Been a few years since I'd done this, but it was free so I flailed around a bit. Trails were icy and the snow was marginal. Super fun sport that I wish I could devote some more time to.

Tamarack - 32:00

Great morning run from the cabin. Ran a few laps on some x-country ski trails that had been groomed and packed down, but nobody's using them. I didn't sink down too much, and I had a great run. Lungs feeling a bit better today - not so much coughing - and I even managed a decent pace in the snow and ice at 5000'.

Back to Boise today, and wasn't up to running in the inversion. As it was, my lungs suffered even on the treadmill. Decent run though, and did 5 x 30 second pickups in the last 10 minutes.

Canal banks + Borah campus - 33:08

Felt pretty good and averaged 7:42/mile. The canals were icy and slow, so I detoured and ran a couple of laps around Borah at about 7:15/mile pace.
