Journey from 238.5 lbs to 2:38:30

My right big toe got infected in the cuticle, can hardly walk, let alone run. did some "cross training"  abs, legs, yoga

Toe getting better, more cross training, abs, legs, yoga, cardio

Overdid the squats, now top of hammies are very sore, tight 

Ran with Matt from his house.  Toe is mostly fine, left foot is still a little inflammed from Saturday's run.  It didn't get worse, need to try icing that spot I guess.  

Ran 7 miles out to Utah Lake with Wes.   

Ran 8 with Jody, Toni, and Melanie, Ran 2 more with Mel, then 4 more in Orem.  Nice and icy this morning.  Toe is 100%, still have splits in the callouses on my feet, mostly the grand canyon on my left foot, fortunately not much pain from that one right now.  Top of hammies still a little sore, but running seems to be fine.  Not feeling too much other tight spots at the moment.  Thinking of running around Suncrest on saturday.

Got a nice 10.25 mile run in the snow with Chad. Chad's crocs wouldn't stay on when we headed back, so he ran five miles in inches of snow, in his wool socks. Wool rules!  South on the JRT

Ran 6 miles with Wes, the Lindon Loop.  Legs would not get moving.  Very sluggish.  When I pick it up I feel a bunch of tight spots I need to work on.  Groin muscles still giving me problems.

Met at Smith's for a up suncrest and around the point of the mountain run.  Bill, skip, toni, nick, jonathon, jody, mike, travis.  The hill climb wasn't particularly fast, but felt pretty easy.  Jody, Toni, Mike and I went around the mountain, everyone else did an out and back and headed back to smith's.  We took it fairly easy coming down the 10% grade, I started to slalom down the road to try to disperse the weight distribution on my quads, and that seemed to help a lot on not trashing my legs coming down the hill.  On our way up the frontage road there was an oversized crane on it's way up the hill, so I started a little push up the hill and we ended up catching the crane and it's chase vehicles.  We headed back to Smith's for the 18 mile version so Jody could top off his water, gu etc. for the last of his 4 hour run.  I almost bagged it when we got back, but he said he was only going to do 6 more, so I went back out with him.  We had a nice slow out though Highland.  And started to pick up the pace the last couple of miles.  Was feeling pretty good by the time we finished.  Jody did 6 before we started.  Great day for a run over the mountain.
