Ran with Andrea, Jake, Adam and Adam (ACorn) through Millcreek and Holladay.  It was nice to get out earlier and miss the traffic. Oh, but I guess there never is any traffic on Sunday.  After running I did a couple of cross training miles at the gym and followed that with hip exercise fun.

Please check out Adam's post on the NIH budget (thanks for sharing Jake) and consider signing the petition.

Not as tired as I thought I would be  Gym workout.

Ran up to I-215 through Millcreek.  Put in  few quicker miles coming back down as it started to SNOW.  I need to do more hip exercises tonight.

Just poking around our website at work and found these deals on first generation Saucony Mirages.

Women's for $44.99

Men's for $55.99

I might have to raise the prices if people start buying too many.

PM: 2.75 cross training at the gym, hip exercises and planks

JAJA run in the wind.  Even if I was paying attention I don't think I could retrace our route because we turned often and abruptly.  It's a nice change though because I am more of an out and back kind of guy.  The lateral turns probably also help my hip.

PM: 2 cross training miles and hip exercises

gym day.  Hip exercises in the PM.

lots of people out sick at work today so today pretty much stunk.  since when was having a cold sick?   I think I should require a doctor's note.

Woke up and felt like I had been hit by a truck.  My entire body is achy.  Still managed to drag myself to the gym to see if that would help.  Managed a pretty decent workout on the elliptical and a mile on the treadmill.  On the way to work I bought a 30 pack of Emergen-C and now I am pounding water.

Just went to a meeting that lasted 20 minutes and I swear it took at least 40.  In a fog.

B.J. Christensen posted this article on FB.  I generally agree but what this study doesn't explain is which is more efficient for people who don't already run on their forefoot. "The fact that all these runners were already forefoot strikes suggests that none of them were likely overstriding, which would make them less likely to benefit from barefoot running."

Barefoot Versus Running Shoes: Which Is (Surprisingly) More Efficient?

still very sick.  I am not sure if going to the gym was a good or bad idea.  The workout felt like it took forever and I felt very weak.
