Since it is hard to get real speed work in with the icy roads I decided to run some a hilly course today since hills are speed work in disguise. I ran up to Mueller Park Junior High then back home.  Going up wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.  Coming down I really wanted to focus on my turnover.  I concentrated on my form and it felt a lot better than it has in a while.  I was a little disappointed when I got home and looked at my splits because they weren't as fast as I thought they would be.

Wow that is a really steep hill. I am sure your split were great, especially for 1800.

Hi Andy,

Me and about 15-20 other runners meet in the Salt Lake area for runs on Saturday. We will run Emigration at 7 AM this Saturday (meet at Ruth's dinner). It would great to see you there if you can fit it in. Keep up the winter running!

Thanks for the invite Mark. I would like to meet you guys for a run sometime but I have to get myself back in shape before I dare run with you.

Andy,

What will that take you to get "back into shape?" 2.75 days?? You are so crazy fast that it makes me sick!

Nice hillwork!

Andy I could a swore that I saw you today down in Springville, it being Wednesday. I was coming back from lunch and you passed me in your car and I said that looked like Andy, weird... I could be wrong though!

It was probably me. I was at a funeral in Mapleton this afternoon and was driving through Springville.

Clay - I just remembered somebody honking at me this afternoon. Was that you? I couldn't figure out what I did wrong (I'm glad that I didn't flip you off).
