Final Run of the year!  Got a flat on the way to Providence Canyon.  Lame.  Ended up running from the tire store while they repaired it.  Got a few more road miles and less trail miles.  Not what I wanted to do, but I only had time for that option.  Best news though was that the 9 miles didn't hurt at all.

My new year's resolution is to not get injured....again.  Yeah right.

** This run put me over 2500 miles for the year.  635 miles were cross-training but still not a bad year for being injured for so much of it.  That brings me to my Year-in-Review

This year was loaded with highs and lows.  It was a year of rough injuries but was also a great year for trail running.
Highlights 
Completed my first 50 miler (Pocatello)
Ran my 4th Logan Peak Race to another (3rd) 4th place finish
Paced at Hardrock
2nd Place at El Vaquero Loco
85 miles at the Bear 100 - still one of my favorite days ever!

Lowlights - 
Injured in Jan through March with ITBS
Injured in August while waterskiing
DNF at Bear 100 - 4 days in Hospital with Rhabdomyosis
Injured in October - L5 Radiculopathy

I still managed to run a TON while I was healthy and got to enjoy many Saturdays with Joe in the mountains.  

3+ hour runs - 21
4+ hour runs - 14
5+ hour runs - 6

Happy New Year!

I am pretty happy to be about to be out in the mountains moving around.  Today was probably pushing my luck (in terms of mileage and vertical) but I went for it anyways.  I went up Providence Canyon from the usual church (1 mile of road before hitting the trail).  I went up 1 mile on the trail before putting on the microspikes.  The snow was still pretty squishy but once I crossed the bridge (mile 2 of the trail) I joined the road and followed the snowmobile trails up the canyon.  That made the footing bettter.  Up I went until I hit the Welches Flat Jeep trail junction then turned for home.  It was a beautiful morning once I cleared the yucky valley inversion.

Went to the Doc today and got the final "all healed" message.  I have to be careful doing "BLT" (Bend, Lift, Twist).  Don't want to re-injure things.  Still ramping up carefully (as best I can I guess).

Didn't want to smoke a pack today by going for a run.  Lets be honest, it was just too cold and I wanted to sleep in and stay warm. (It was -10F or so).  Spent 30 mins on the bike and did my PT instead.

Joined Joe this morning with the goal of escaping the muck and running in some clean air.  We drove up to Franklin Basin and ran on the road for 13 miles.  The road was covered in a few feet of snow and was nice and packed down for/by the snowmobiles.  We started running in the 6 degree weather (15 degrees warmer than in Logan).  The light headwind and the cold muscles combined to make life pretty miserable for the first 10 mins or so until we climbed up a bit of elevation and our muscles warmed up a bit.  Once that happened, we loved it.  Beautiful day, and it was sure nice to be out running in the mountains.
