| 5 miles in 45:36 or 9:07 pace at 5:10 a.m., 50 degrees and nice. 4 miles in 33:37 fairly easy to moderate, on the treadmill tonight at 6:45 p.m. Between 9:00's and 8:00 min pace. .5 to 1.5% incline. Needed to start my 2-a-days 2x per week. But I wimped and ran on the treadmill. The temperature is plenty warm out tonight, but the stiff south winds were really howling. The huge flag at Macey's was standing straight out. I hate running in the wind about as much as cold rain, so I wimped. Owell. I'll probably be facing rain or snow tomorrow morning. Something is blowing in. | | Comments(1) |

5 miles in 46:52, 9:21 pace. Very easy. Warm temperatures again and windy, but not quite like last night. Felt pretty good. 2 runs scheduled for tomorrow. Something coming in tomorrow night or Thursday morning. Winter ain't through yet! | | Add Comment |

| 5 miles this morning at 5:10 a.m. in 46:47, 9:21 pace. Identical to yesterday. Same wind, same route, same pace. Man, I'm a boring dude! 2nd run tonight at 6:30 p.m., at the track. Yasso's again. 3x800's in 3:21, 3:18, and 3:16, with 400 recovery after each. I don't feel ready to step it up to 4 next week, but I better since I've been at 3 for two consecutive weeks. Weather held off so far, but supposed to have something by tomorrow morning and then again on Saturday morning. We'll see. | | Add Comment |

| 5 miles on the treadmill this morning at 5:00 a.m. in 45:14, about 9:03 pace. 9:30's for first half at 1.5% to 2% incline. 8:30's for second half at .5% to 1% incline. Easy recovery run after last night's Yassos. Icy roads this morning, but it has melted fast today out here. Supposed to be something more coming Friday night into Saturday morning, just in time for my 14 miler. Suck it up, bud! | | Add Comment |

| Slowest 5 miler of the year this morning. 49:17 or 9:51 pace. Legs still feel hammered from 2 a days, twice this week, I think. Hope I recover well for my 14 miler on the weekend. | | Comments(1) |

| 14 miles in 2:01:58, or 8:42 pace with Tina. About 4 minutes slower than last two weeks. Snow and ice on the roads starting out, but temperature at 9:00 a.m. was 45 degrees and things were melting fast. Sunny and nice otherwise. We came home from the S.L Temple late last night and didn't hit any snow until right when we got into town. 5,200 ft. elevation makes a big difference. I thought it would be much worse weather to be running in this morning and was surprised that it would be nice enough to be running in shorts. When we were going up the hill we encountered the THS Track Team 5K race coming down the hill. It wasn't the best turn out and mostly folks were walking, but I think it might be some kind of fund raiser for the team. I guess we should have supported it. 47 miles this week, not too bad, but my legs are really hammered and it showed in our overall time today. 16 miles next week. Moab in 2 weeks. | | Add Comment |
