| 7.15 with Brayden.
Decided to take today as easy as I could. I have not felt great the last few days and something weird happened on my run yesterday that has not happened before. At one point my left arch tightened up. It was as if it contracted for a second and then took about 3-5 seconds to relax. It only happened once or twice, and it didn't hurt, but it made me nervous.
Brayden and I averaged an 8:00 with the fastest at an easy 7:42 down a slight grade. I felt good but was hesitant with my foot. Once again, my left arch tightened up on me, but only once. And, again, it didn't hurt. Makes me a little nervous so I am going to watch it and see what happens.

| 15 miles with Tyler, Scott, and John. 7:49 average
Decided to give it a go at the long run despite my arch locking up a few times over the last couple of days. I told myself I would just start easy and if things got bad I would stop. The first slight tightening of the left arch occured at mile 1.5 despite running the first mile at 8:42. After this first instance of my arch issue I paid particular attention to it to see what might be causing the issue.
The next "tightening" occured at 3.5. This is where I noticed that it occured only on left turns. For the remainder of the run I purposely took any left turn super wide and only on one more occasion did my left arch tighten up. We increased our pace over the run and even logged one mile at 6:00 to see if speed caused any issue and thankfully it didn't.
PM-stretched a few times throughout the day and then did some foam rolling and hot tub time before bed. Going to focus the next couple of months on stretching and a little strenthening, perhaps.
(also, I think there is a good chance that my slight foot niggle could be due to running too many miles on my shoes so I pulled out a new pair today and they felt great)

| 9ish miles with John pushing Grey in the stroller. Pretty fast pace considering the stroller pushing up 45th south.

| LONG! Ran/hiked from Lamb's Canyon to Big Cottonwood. What we thought would take us roughly 3 to 3.5 hours took us 6, including the stops.
6,600 ft of climbing with 6+ miles of it in shin deep snow. Let's just say, it was a good workout!

| 7.5 (or so) with Brayden, Ashley, and Scott.
The four of us managed to run without a single watch. I was fine with this when we started. However, we ended up doing a decent climb just after mile 3 that was maybe 3/4 of a mile long that we had not done before. I was feeling really good so I pushed the pace a bit. I wish I had that data now. Oh well. I am sure we will run it again.
It was good to get out after a few days off. I wasn't feeling well at the start of this week so I decided to just take it easy. Only a few more weeks with that luxury before I start officially training for Boston.

| 6 miles solo this morning early. Felt good. 2 mile warmup and then picked up the pace a bit just for fun. Didn't even really do it on purpose. 7:20 average. 3 of the miles were sub 7.
I started running less than 2 years ago and today I passed 2,000 miles for 2013. I feel pretty good about that.

| headed out in the light rain solo this morning at 6:30. took it easy. didn't look at my watch once, just ran and enjoyed the quiet. my arch has still been aching a bit so I have backed off the running. i don't want that to flare up and cause me any issues when I ramp up for boston training in january. the arch felt fine on todays run, so that is promising. going to go tomorrow and saturday and see how it feels.
