Becky and I decided to put in a quick run in the nice St. George weather before heading home to the snow.  We intended to go 5 miles but the trail didn't turn where we thought it did so the run ended up being 7 miles.  The big toe on my right foot is killing me.  It is probably bruised from the severe downhill in yesterday's race.  Both of Becky's ITB's are bothering her so we finished the run limping and wondering why we do this to ourselves.

Drove to the LPT just in case the group showed up.  It was snowing a little so didn't think Kam or Tara would be there but went anyway.  Waited a few minutes then started my run.  It actually wasn't bad once I started going.  The snow had stopped and the trail was only lightly covered in snow.  My motivation was low so I had a hard time getting into the run.  Ran the first 5 miles in the 7:40's then picked it up to 7:30 and 7:15 for the next 2 miles.  Decided to get at least one tempo mile in so ran the last mile in 6:45.  I picked the wrong mile to run quicker because the trail had gotten very slippery and it was hard to maintain my footing.  I am not looking forward to winter training.

All legs at Firehouse today.  The last cycle was a 6 minute run.  After 36 minutes of leg exercises, I was only able to muster 0.75 wobbly miles.  It was quite a sight.

8 miles on the LPT with Tara at 8:00/mile.  This run took 4 minutes longer than the same run on Tuesday but felt like it took half the time.  Running with others certainly makes runs seem like less of a chore.

Workout at Firehouse.  It was a pretty good total body workout.  Didn't focus on one specific area.  There were two 6 minute runs.  Made it 0.9 miles on the first and 0.8 miles on the second.

After 3 weeks in a row of pacing half marathons it was nice to have just a long run. What little I ate yesterday was junk food so I was expecting a slow run. I felt very good as the run started so I just went with it. Ran down to the LPT and headed south. Averaged 7:30/mile for the first half and 7:20 for the second half. Was surprised at the energy that I had at the end of the run.
