Ran a few laps around the hospital in Orem with Emily and Chris. It was a fun shakeout after a long day of being lazy and going to Scheels. Such a fun day to kick off the new year. AP 9:00

Trying to enjoy these early miles as I get rolling again. It's frustrating having lost so much strength but it's also fun to have zero pressure every run. I should be doing nothing but going slow and easy right now. So I'm trying to enjoy it. AP 7:56

Trail 051 at 6 a.m. with Eric, Jake, and Blake. There's no better way to start the day than with headlamps in the mountains. Took a graceful tumble on the pipeline road just as it drops down to the shooting range parking lot. It made for some good laughs as I slid next to Blake on the ice for a while. AP 13:05

MTC miles with Jake, Blake, Caleb, Levi, Jenn, and Katie. I only did 2 reps at 5:36 and 5:43. Jake unfortunately had to leave early because we started late. Glad to finally be getting back into speed workouts. Goal today was just to not get hurt.

Met Jake and Blake at Center St. and Univ. Ave. at 6 a.m. to get a few miles in. We ran over to the PRT and headed towards the lake. It was cold, dark, and icy, but good for the soul. AP 7:53

What started as a Trail 051 loop ended up being a knee-deep snow adventure. I turned off Trail 051 to get down to Ireland and from there dropped straight down on top of the shooting range.

The BYU outdoor track was iced over so we did our 1000m repeats on the indoor track. There was a big, fun group that Jake and Blake brought together. The plan was 1000m at 5k pace followed by a 322m (1 lap) recovery. I felt miserable after the 3rd and was just going to jog while the others did a 4th rep. I was peer pressured into the 4th rep and ended up holding the pace. I ran 3:38, 3:35, 3:30, 3:39. It's a start...

Vacant country roads down by the lake in the early morning. It's fun to be back out embracing the work and sacrifice. I'm feeling stronger, more resistant to injury, and hopefully will be getting some good miles and workouts in the coming weeks. AP 8:18

MTC miles with Jake, Blake, Jenn, Amber, and Katie. Just working back into speedwork so I really took it easy. Did the 3 repeats at 5:47, 5:45, and 5:41. Can't wait to get past these early weeks and run fast again. AP 8:02

Deep snow on the PRT. It was a blast stomping my way up the canyon. Absolutely beautiful morning. Missed my Wednesday run due to all the babysitting I've been doing for my sister-in-law. She finally had her baby today so hopefully things will be back to normal. I'm not sure my body is strong enough to be running every day right now, anyways. So for now I'm welcoming off days and enjoying the process of getting my fitness back. AP 8:17

Ran with Jake on his lunch break from US Synthetic. We took an urban route heading north up to Center St. in Orem, then up to 8th East, and back down Univ. Parkway. The miles flew by. Great confidence booster. AP 7:33
