I had a decent week of running. I still haven't been running a very large number of miles, but it is slowly creeping up. I think I only ran 13 this week total, but it was spread out over 4 days. On Saturday I went on a 45 minute bike ride where I went fairly fast. Later in the day I went up to the Santa Monica mountains and did a 4 mile trail run. Basically it was straight up for 2 miles and then straight back down. I haven't done very much running in hills for the last month or so and it was pretty tough. My quads are actually fairly sore today. It is probably partially due to the biking earlier in the day as well, but I think it is a good amount of soreness as long as it goes away soon.
Next week I am slowly increasing my mileage and plan to do a 5 miler on Saturday. I know that isn't really long at all, but it should be good to go a little bit longer than I have been. I have done pretty well at my swimming and biking training as well although I missed a couple workouts this week due to being lazy.
I hope everyone else is running well and getting ready for St. George or any other races that may be coming up!

Running Update
Hi everyone!
I have been completely healthy now for a little over a week! I am pretty excited about that and have been able to work out nicely since last Saturday. I signed up for a half marathon in St George on Jan 22. For anyone else who wants to join it should be a lot of fun. My current training involves nice and easy mileage build up. I am not training too fast just slowly increasing the amount I do at a reasonable pace to get a decent base built up. Hopefully I won't get too excited about running far and overexert myself. My biking and swimming training have been going well also. Generally they are easy and just working on a base as well.
It feels good to be out there on a daily basis and improving my fitness.
How is everyone else doing? I heard the update about all of the family members that did the St George marathon. I am impressed and inspired. It has been almost 3 yrs since I have ran a full marathon. (Wow that makes me feel lazy). My last one was the Death Valley Trail marathon in Feb 08. Hopefully I will get in a marathon sometime in the spring along with a half ironman. Although you never know what may come up in life it is much more fun with goals to work towards.
Keep up the running!
