Ran an easy 13 mile loop with Mike. We started out along wasatch and continued across the parleys footbridge. Went to the dog park and back.

My legs felt good. My stride was smooth and I felt no little aches or pains from the 5k. I guess that means I should have raced harder but I have no regrets. My goal is a sub 2:20 marathon this spring.

Ran an easy 8 mile loop from JM to sugarhouse park, around the outer park perimeter and back to JM.

Legs felt good. Still little soreness from race which is surprising. Usually I am sore for at least 2 days (the second day being the worst) after a 5k.

Ran to liberty park today. Did 2 x 2 mile intervals in the park. The first interval started with a tame 5:34 mile and finished in 11:03. the second was almost exactly the same.

My legs felt tired to begin the workout but livened up after the first mile of the intervals.

Heart rate stayed in the 160's during the intervals.

Cooled down around the park and back to JM.

Ran on trail today. Went up millcreek to Burch trailhead and ran out to Rattlesnake. This is the first time I have run with Dillon in his jogging stroller. The ride was a bit bumpy but he seemed to love it. Bandy did a great job heeling the entire run.

My legs felt fine although the pace was abit slower than I am used to running. It took us 32 minutes to go out and 33 to get back. I guess thats not too bad considering the slush, mud, snow and stroller. Anyway, it was great to be on trail. Roads and road racing hold little allure for me. It is all about the trails.

Dillon is sick again. I had to settle for 4 miles in the dark with weights and core strength during the day. 

He had brought home a new disease each week for the past 3 weeks. What will be next...Ebola Ziare? Cholera?

I swear the next global pandemic will begin at the JM daycare.

Ran Zoo loop the longest and hardest way I know how. Left JM and warmed up heading north on 11th east through the cemetary up to 11th ave. Followed 11th ave east to the U. Took the highest version of the shoreline trail above the hospital and over to the zoo. Sunnyside back to JM.

Ran the hills hard. About 1500 feet vertical. That really aggrivated my right hip. I was worried about that.

Ran an easy 18 miler with Mike and Bandy. Ran from Washington park in Parleys up to the summit of little mountain in emigration. Down emigration to wasatch, wasatch home.

 I was having GI problems the whole way but my legs felt fine. My right hip was still aggrivated from the climbing yesterday.

Bandy bonked at 16 miles. Poor dog.
