Hurt so good.

Glad I was able to get a run in today with finals coming and big test tomorrow just didnt think it was going to happen

Tempo Run

Had a big day at school. Aced my final practical in modalities, came home and got outside before it was to dark to do a tempo run.

On the training schedule I had a 4-5 mile tempo today @ 5:22 avg. 

4 mile warm then jumped into the tempo. Wasnt sure how the roads were going to play so I took the first mile easy then after seeing that they werent to bad I decided to just do a progressive tempo with the hopes of a 5:22 avg.

splits were 5:27; 5:24; 5:21; 5:19; 5:16. Avg pace for tempo was 5:21 min/miles

So progressive worked out pretty well and was 1 second under my avg goal. I would say that is a good day at the office.

2.50 mile cool.

Aerobic builder after class today. I was unable to get in a run yesterday due to studying for finals and so I was a little ancy to get out today. Today the tempo felt really easy and relaxed in a way it was enjoyable.

Did my normal North Ogden to Harrisville loop. On the schedule the goal pace was 5:32-5:35 pace so I started out at 5:35 pace then worked my way into the tempo. My avg splits for the last 4 miles were 5:27 pace. Had an overall avg of 5:31 min/miles.

3 warm/1.10 cool back home. COLD TODAY! 17 Degrees!

P.M. 

2 hours of basketball

Easy recovery run today. Nothing fancy just getting work done. Man it is Butt A#@ cold still! If this is a sign for how winter is going to be, I am spending half the winter down south at Clyde, Dave, Steve, or Logan's place. Got to have options!

Long Run/tempo run

Got out later this afternoon with the hopes of better weather. Well the only thing that was better was the temp was 30 degrees but it was snowing pretty good. I ended up doing my 10 mile loop up to the canal rd in North Ogden then looped into PleasantView then back home. I got home switched out of my cold gear and put some flats on and shorts and headed down to the treadmill. Did .50 warm and then 4 mile tempo at AB pace. Splits were 5:33; 5:33; 5:30 and 5:27. Cooled for .55 and called it for the evening. 

The 10 miler in the snow took alot out of me. It was nice on the canal because I actually felt like I had footing but the roads were way slippery.
