Nose hurt a bit tonight after run.  The cold air irritated the nose from the septum surgery and I could taste a little blood draining, but all in all good.  I'm happy with the new air intake.  I have not been able to breathe this well in more than 20 years.  Excited to be able to run again.

Ran through fields and back around past Krishna Temple and through Salem and then back home.  Nice run, beautiful day.

A little snow falling tonight, I was a little cold starting out, the temps were around 37 degrees.  By mile 2 I got warmed up and felt good.  Had an average pace of 7:59 which I was happy with.  Tonight is the first run I have paced under 8 MP since my surgery so it felt really good.  I am wanting to get back in the mid 7's on my 6-7 mile runs in the next month or so.

Great little run.  Started out with temps around 40 degrees by the time I hit mile 1 the rain started, by the time I hit mile 4 the rain had turned to sleet and snow and the temps dropped to the mid 30's, by mile 8 I was wet and cold but having a great time, I really like cooler weather for running.

Smith's 6'er route.  I am really starting to enjoy this 6 mile run.  It has some very good up's and down's.  There is very little flat ground on this route.  I use to hate hills both incline and decline but lately I have started to love 'em.  Nothing like the pay off of getting to the top of a mile incline in record time.  Finished with an average pace of 7:55's, a little better then the 7:59's a did a couple of days ago on this same route.  I am looking for a new PR, I just need to pick a race and set a goal for either a half or full.  The nose is pretty much healed from the septum surgery and it is better then I ever imagined.  I can finally breathe after 35 years of life.

Great run today.  Ran out to Spring Lake and then cut down west over I-15 back down the frontrage road and worked my way back home.  Very hilly route.  about 1/3 of the route was incline or decline.  Good workout to start and end a very busy week with no training.

25 degrees, dark, icy and awesome.  I love winter running, it changes up the average road running.  I am missing the mountain trails but tonight all the obstacles and ice reminded me a lttle of trail running.  It is a little more dangerous and I had to really watch out for black ice.  I found that most people don't clear their sidewalks, maybe just because it is Sunday but all in all I had a good run.  6.11 miles at 9 minute pace, slow but safe with all the ice out.
