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.
