Wow I'm off to a great start with my goals... yesterday I was incredibly busy, surprising I know. I suppose it's time to start again! 4 late in the dark. Felt good.

VA loop. I've been having weird lower abdominal pain the past couple days, trying to figure out what it is, doesn't feel muscular. Quite uncomfortable to run, though it seemed to numb out throughout the run.

Not the most enjoyable run but it was good to get out. Felt kind of nauseous.

Turns out I'm not so great at this whole get back in shape thing. The only thing holding me back is my lack of motivation (especially when it's below freezing outside) and constant justification of things that shouldn't be justified, such as not going for runs. Having the goal of getting back in shape is great, but it's hard to meet it when I'm missing objectives. I'm looking into local races that I can sign up for to further my motivation and give me something to work toward. I think I might do the Salt Lake Running race series that starts in February, it's far enough away that I can get into decent shape and at least not feel like I'm going die when I race.

Felt good today! Went at my relaxed pace for the first bit, then picked it up. Ended up hitting 50% pace the last 2 miles with the last one being 7:13. Not bad for how out of shape I am. 8:00 average pace.

Felt good, VA loop. I tripped on a rock right at the beginning (don't worry I caught myself before I fell) but think I must have twisted my ankle. It was fine throughout the run but now it hurts. It'll probably be fine though.

Today it was really hard to get out the door, so I'm happy I did.

Took 1300 S up to 2100 E, 2100 S, and took 1900 E and Harrison back home.

Squoze in a run between jobs. I might have to start running early in the morning because my days are really busy.

Ran to Liberty, did a lap on the wood chips and back. Focused on the hill, was nice to work a little harder at the end.

Ran to Sugarhouse, 2 road laps, then back home and added to 6. Yesterday was certainly a white Christmas, and now everyone is taking advantage of the snow! The only other time I have seen Sugarhouse that busy was at State. All those hills make for good sledding. On the second lap a woman passed me, I was a little startled (I had only seen 2 other runners) but decided to match my pace to hers. She seemed to be going a lot faster than I was so I wasn't confident I could keep up, but surprisingly it felt good and I seemed to be stronger than she was on hills. I miss running with a team and having people faster than I am to push me.

Good news! I have lost 15 pounds now since coming home from my mission, 5 to go to get back to my normal weight!

Work went an hour longer than it was supposed to. Shortened the time I had allotted for running, did as much as I could with the time I had.

I'm just guessing on the mileage (Garmin is dead, I need to remember to charge it). Got a lot done today, feels good. Went to the bank, bought a car, registered said car, and worked.

Didn't feel so great today. Felt lethargic. Inversion is getting pretty bad, can't see the mountains across the valley anymore. I went up past the zoo and took Wasatch for a while, then turned around and came back down 1300 S.

Couldn't breathe. Felt like I was suffocating, asthma must be acting up.
