| 5:00 a.m. 40 minutes at Gold's Gym. 20/20 elliptical/cycling workout. No run tonight. Resting. Why do weather forecasters even bother with 7 or even 5 day forecasts? At about 6 days out they were predicting cold, but sunny for St. George on Saturday. Then a couple of days ago, they said cloudy. Now they say rain on Saturday morning now that we're two days away. I guess they've got it all covered, because no matter what happens, they'll be correct. Thanks a lot Grant Weyman and all the rest. It's going to be a cold start either way. | | Comments(6) |

Snow Canyon 1/2 Marathon in 1:47:30, 8:13 AP. A cold start, but a gorgeous day for a run. Grant Weyman got it wrong and it was really, really nice. My strategy was to start out slow and then just fizzle out all together from there. Actually I felt strong throughout. Just a bit faster than last year, but I didn't have to struggle with the calf muscle the last 3 miles like I did then, so the effort was probably about the same. 1,404 finishers. Split times: (The course read long on my Garmin at about 13.23 miles, 8:08 AP). 8:23, 8:16, 8:06, 7:38, 7:39, 7:42, 7:41, 8:44, 7:55, 8:15, 8:30, 8:31, 8:24, 8:02.
Hiking on the red rocks on the North Bluff this afternoon with Sharon.

| Bagged my long run today and went and did 2 hours of rotations at the gym with Tina. 5 minutes each on elliptical, stair master, TM running, cycling. She kicked my butt, as usual. Then an additional 25 minutes on the upper body weights. Light reps of 3 x 15 x 6 machines. Heading into the U of U vs. UCLA game today. Should be fun sitting in the cold, rain and/or snow. |

| 5:00 a.m. 40 minutes at the gym. 20/20 elliptical/cycling workout. My back has been aching since before my long run on Saturday, but a bit different than from my normal disk problem. I felt fine for all 10 miles on Saturday. This feels more like a muscular issue. Probably from sitting for 4 hours in Rice-Eccles Stadium on Friday watching the Utes lose to Colorado. Difficult to lean forward while cycling. Right now I actually feel best while running or immediately afterwards, at least. Feel the worst first thing in the morning or from sitting for long periods of time. 6:00 p.m. 4TM miles at home. Easy in 38:28. Slight progression. Back feels tight, but not really painful. Tolerated the run pretty well. |
