Here we go..

Ran easy in Ogden.

The plan was to do mile repeats this morning but there was no where to do them with all the slick roads so Katie and I opted to run for an hour while Sariah watched our kids. I'm planning on hitting the treadmill this afternoon while Hannah sleeps so I can do 3 fast miles on the treadmill.

Got on the treadmill this afternoon. It's hard to judge how many miles I did I just went by minutes and guessed I did 4.5 miles since my treadmill is inaccurate. I ran 38 mintues total. 10 minute warm up and then did 3 reps of 6:10 fast  since I was supposed to do my mile repeats at 6:10 pace. Then cooled down a few minutes.

Ran in South Ogden today in the freezing cold.

This weeks workouts just haven't panned out because of the weather we've been having. I've had to just do effort for the amount of time I'd normally spend on these workouts. Today I was meeting up with Sariah at 8:30 but it was 7 degrees out so she suggested going indoor because we both were planning a tempo run. Terry watched my kids so Sariah and I warmed up to the Dee Events center and decided to run in there, which brought back some painful memories of the old days at Weber doing workouts for indoor track. But we decided it would be a better workout then trying anything outside. So we just decided we'd do a hard effort for the amount of time it would take each of us to run a tempo run. We did a 2 mile warm up, a couple strides, then I ran hard for 24:44. It felt like it was a good effort and that I was going faster then I would've on the roads. Cool downn 2.1 miles

Ran on the treadmill

I ran early in the cold this morning, spent the night at my inlaws so they could be there with the kids while they slept, turns out both my girls woke up right after I left anyway. But the plan was to run 15 miles step progression. The first 3 miles were a warm up, the next 3 at 7:35, the next 4 at 7:20 pace, then the next 3 7:05 pace and then two miles easy. It turned out pretty well here's my splits for the faster miles, First 3 (7:23,7:27,7:28)Next 4 miles (7:12,7:16,7:16,7:17) Next 3 miles (6:56,7:10,7:05) My 7:10, 7:05 miles were hard because I was running on a gradual uphill, I didn't plan that out very well. But It was a good quality run for me in the cold weather.

Ran in Ogden in the "heat" of the day 17 degrees.

Today the plan was to do 3x1.5 miles at 6:15 pace. It was still cold and difficult to find a good spot on the roads to do them. The first one I ran into some unplowed part of the road but still manage to push through ok. The next two I found a clear course to run them. I did a two mile warm up. The first one was 9:20, the second 9:22 this measured out to be 1.49, then the last was 1.53 miles and was 9:32.

Split 1 - Mile 6:11, .5 mile 3:09

Split 2 -Mile 6:17, .49 3:05

Split 3 - Mile 6:13, .53 3:19

5 miles around South ogden. AP 7:56

Ran a 7 mile power run today. We did a 2 mile warm up. Here's my splits 6:35, 6:41, 6:33, 6:29, 6:35, 6:36, 6:34. Then did a quick cool down because I was running late.

Ran 40 minutes on the treadmill this afternoon.

Ran the first half of my run with a group, Janae, Katie, Angie, and Jasmine. I joined up late with them so I finished the last half on my own. The last 3 miles of the run were supposed to be a fast finish, I did 6:22, 6:22, then 6:49. The last mile just didn't happen but a good run overall.

It's been a tough day trying to get a run in. My baby is sick so we can't venture out anywhere. I was stuck doing a treadmill run today, but with a sick baby it's hard to find the times to do it since she wanted to be snuggled in my arms rather then in her crib taking a nap. I managed a 30 minute run this morning on the treadmill. Then got back on in the afternoon to do another 40 minutes but I got 18 minutes in and the power went out in my house. That's my luck so I'm calling it 6 miles today.

I did 8x600s with Katie today. The goal was 2:06 for each 600 with 1:45 rest. We warmed up two miles. Splits were 2:02, 2:03, 2:05, 2:06, 2:04, 2:07, 2:06, 2:06. It's hard for me to find pace when I'm doing faster intervals. I wish I would've had time to do 2 more because I finally felt like I had the pace down towards the end.

Ran in South Ogden

Treadmill run to much snow

Ran on my treadmill, this was all I could get in today.

Ran with Sariah, Angie, Katie, and Merrilee in the snow. Really slippery this morning but had fun with the group. We ventured onto railroad tracks, and almost got hit by a car.

Ran in South Weber on some slushy roads. AP 8:00

Ran a workout this morning 3x2 mile repeats with 3 min jog in between. 2.1 mile warm up. Splits (6:13, 6:17) (6:06, 6:11) (6:10, 6:12) I was running into a strong headwind on those second miles in each set. Pretty happy with the workout. 2 mile cool down.

Didn't run on Christmas because I ate all day and enjoyed being around family. Tried to do an aeorobic builder today. I did a two mile warm up and made 4 miles doing well then an idiot man shot his gun to close for comfort towards me and I was startled and stopped. I couldn't quite yell at him for being reckless he was farther up on the mountain. After that I couldn't get going again. I was to flustered. So I just finished at a steady 7:15. My first 4 miles were 6:50, 6:46, 6:38, 6:30.

Run in Lindon, didn't feel great today

Ogden loop with Allyssa, Sariah, and Janae. Good run to get me back on track next week. AP 7:37

South Weber run this morning AP 7:55

I wanted to do a workout today 4x 1miles I started the first one and felt terrible so I bagged it for today. That's how it's been the last few days of running. I haven't been feeling well at all, I went home and slept and felt a little better. Maybe I'm worn out from holidays and eating junk, not sure what's wrong.
