| 16 miles in 2:27:17. 9:12 average pace. Very easy to moderate effort throughout. Last 10 with Tina and Helen. Met them out on the Smelter Road hills. They did 14. A nice sunny day, although still a little cold, especially when the breeze would hit us. Felt surprisingly well. Yesterday my back was the absolute worst it's been. Even before my run I thought it wasn't a good idea to even go today. Decided I would try it and cut it short if I was hurting. I could feel it the first 4 or 5 miles and then it just got feeling better. No problem at all for the final 10, so that was really encouraging. I felt strong even on the downhill portions and into Erda. Finished at Stansbury Park today. Not a real fast effort, but right where I wanted to be today. |

| 5 miles at 5:05 a.m. slow running on the Skyline route to 1400 E. and south towards the water tank, home via Upland. Feeling a bit better, but mornings are the worst part of my day with the back problems. |

| 5 miles easy at 5:05 a.m. to Grimm's Gate along Skyline and back via Loma Vista and Upland loops. Not feeling as good as yesterday. 4 miles at 6:05 p.m. Progression run starting out at 10:00 min. pace and ending with 8:00 min. pace. Back was a bit better than this morning. |

| 16 miles total today in a weird way. Woke up to 8"-10" of snow. Roads were a mess and being plowed. Tina called to cancel, I was going to do the same. Hit the treadmill at 6:30 a.m. for 5.33 miles, progression run from 10:00 min. pace to 7:30 pace. Roads dried out fast so I went out for a second run of the day at 11:00 a.m., another 5.33 miles in 50:31, pretty easy pace, snowing but not sticking. Then a third run at 3:45 p.m. again for 5.33 TM miles in 45:58, progression run same as this morning. Felt pretty good on the last two runs. Maybe I need to give up running in the early mornings when my back is at its worst. |
