My plan for today was 4x1mile repeats @ 6:20-6:25 pace. I didn't think it was going to feel that difficult, but I ended up struggling with this workout. My 3rd repeat was basically all out and I barely hit the pace I wanted. I also had to battle through a couple icy spots on the roads. After 3x1mile repeats, I decided to finish with an 800. Splits: 6:19, 6:22, 6:23, 3:08. I think I'll need to plan a workout in my long run this week.

I decided to get my long run done early this week since Riley is off today. I started at 6:40 in the morning and ran from my in laws house. There were quite a few hills to climb in my first couple miles. I wanted to do 10 miles, then a 3 mile tempo followed by a 2 mile cool down. The first 10 miles were run up in Shadow Valley, down to Weber State and over to Old Post Rd. I started the tempo at the top of Old Post right on Merrilee's street. I wanted a downhill at the start of my tempo so it could light a fire under me and get me moving, but the bulk of the tempo was down on the regular tempo flat loop in South Ogden. Splits were 6:36, 6:42, 6:36. Running progress today and continued progress with my weight loss this week. Overall AP 8:27

Riley encouraged me to try his trail spikes today so I could run on the snowy trails for a change of scenery. They worked well, I never felt like I was going to slip.
