I'm definitely on my way up out of the bottom of the trough on this roller coaster of injury and feeling crappy. I'm hoping to have some fun riding the higher rollers now.

My run this morning felt GREAT!! 37 degrees and wet. It didn't snow last night, it RAINED. Wahoo! I would be very pleased if we were done with snow for the year. I love the fresh, clean air and moist, nourished earth that rain brings. Saw a coyote around mile two. He walked across the trail a few hundred feet in front of me and literally disappeared into the weeds. Those guys really are camouflage in the bushes and weeds.

I'm still really enjoying the peaceful quiet of no music while running. My mind wandered a million different places this morning. Focused on my running form, light on my feet and quick cadence. Right adductor still just letting me know its there, but not intervening too much. I'm icing it now.

Looks like an awesome run. Glad this are starting to look up for you!

Hooray for being back on the way up! There are great things ahead of you.

We had rain overnight down here too. I would love it if we were done with snow for the season, but I don't dare count on it.

Glad to hear things are looking better with the injuries and such.

Everybody needs a good solid run to know they are still in the game - hooray for you! You deserve it!

yay! Great run and pace! Are you running w/o music on purpose? ( oh I am now remembering something about an ipod found in the wash ???) :) oh man! sorry. but a nice time to think probably, , , do you usually run w/ music in a race?

Nan, your an inspiration! Thanks for all your comments and encouragement.

glad things are looking up, we still have, what, 11 weeks until the Bolder Boulder, lots of time to recover and peak for 10K racing by then. pace me to a a sub 37 minute finish and I will be eternally in your debt. or just leave me behind if I run out of steam. Are you still doing Ogden?

Good to hear the injury situation is improving!

Thanks, everyone.

Amber-Yes, my ipod died in the wash. I've never raced with it, just used it on training runs most of the time over the past couple of years. But I'm realizing more and more that I really appreciate the quiet.

Scott-I'm looking forward to the Bolder Boulder. That will be my first race this year. I'm hoping I can eventually get back into speed work in good form here in a few more weeks. But I'm not going to push myself back into injury, so I'll just see how it goes. Not sure sub-37 is in the cards, but maybe?
