I was supposed to do this:  3x1 mile @ 5:46-5:50 with 5 m.n. recovery. Total distance 7 miles with warm-up and cool-down.  I'm not quite to a point where I am familiar with the 5:50 pace, so instead I ended up doing the mile splits in 5:08, 5:39 and 5:45.  The first two were a bit gravity assisted, but the last one was flat and really tested my resolve.  The air quality today is horrible and I ran at 12:00 noon because of scheduling issues earlier.  My legs felt a bit tired after a full day of skiing at Snowbird yesterday, but it's great to be alive!

The planned workout: 4x800 meters @ 2:45-2:47 with 2:30-3:00 recovery. Total distance 7 miles with warm-up and cool-down.  My splits ended up at 2:39, 2:45, 2:51 and 2:47.  Tough at the back ends of the splits, but feeling strong after the workout.

Tired legs from yesterday's speed workout, but had to do the long run today due to scheduling problems tomorrow. Decided to see if "Hammer Gel" would work for me - "Gu" has given me disastrous results in prior races - adverse stomach reaction and severe dehydration. I took the gel at 3 miles to see how the rest of the workout would go. By mile 10 I was sick to my stomach and had to drag myself in. Totally ruined a good workout but at least I have one more data point and didn't have to ruin a race to find it out.

On snow camp with Scouts. Got up at 6:00 and ran in snowstorm anyway. Had to move to the side of the road to avoid the big snowplow.  Felt like a rock star.
