Artichoke's Running Blog (Ken Spence)

5 miles at 5:00 a.m.  38 degrees.  A very slow and somewhat painful run.  My back did not want to loosen up.  Skyline to 1400 E. up towards the water tank road and back via Loma Vista and Upland loops.

4 miles at 6:10 p.m. in 38:24. 50 degrees with shorts and long sleeves.  Through town along the 50 West alley and up to Vine and Broadway, then to 7th Street and 100 S. and back finishing with a loop to 380 West and then home.  Felt much better tonight.  Need to take the ibuprofen a bit more regularly, as it seems to help. 

5 miles easy running on the regular route to Grimm's Gate on Skyline and back via Loma Vista and Upland loops.  Back still bugging me, but felt a bit better than yesterday.

5 mile progression run in 46:42 from 10:00 to 8:45 pace at 5:00 a.m.

3 TM miles progression run in 27:33.  10:00 to 8:00 pace at 6:15 p.m. 

5 TM miles at 5:00 a.m. in 46:27.  Progression from 10:00 to 8:30 pace.  Icy roads with snow storm overnight.

5 TM miles in 46:58 on 5:00 a.m.  Cold and windy out, so I bagged it and stayed on the treadmill.  Back still giving me issues.

6 miles at 8:15 a.m. with Tina in 53:00, 8:50 pace.  Fairly easy run, real easy for T.  Light rain, we decided to slide the long run to Monday so Helen can come out an join us from Salt Lake.  A month until Moab.
