Elite Jogging For Dummies

AM: 8.5 miles over the U/Avenues loop (w/Ensign extension)

PM: Ran home from work 3.5

Black Sheep workout. It was cold! We met at Foothill Sbux and ran a needed warm up, followed by several sets of hills, taking us up to Donner Way, then more hills in Donner Park, then more hills in This is the Place, then finally more hills in and near Bonneville Golf Course.  All this was followed by a generous 2 mile cooldown.

AM: 5 miles at 5:20 am, then into work by 7am.

 PM: I ran home from work via a 4 mile route.

Big Workout with Josh, or as we termed it this morning in honor of the snow and crappy road conditions, "Death by Plow."  

We ran the usual 3 mile warm up over to Guardsman/Sunnyside. Then 2 miles at Tinman pace (6:15/5:49). Then a little rest before running 5 x 1 mile.  We tried to do these to avoid sloppy roads, with mixed success.  The bottom line is we went as far south as 2700 South and 2300 E. and as far west as 700 East, 1300 E.  That is, we ended up at Liberty Park for the final interval. 

Our pace was generally slow, given that we had jump puddles, evade cars, run on sidewalks, etc. I think the miles were: 6:00 (included gully), 5:50, 5:49; 5:59 and 5:50.  The last mile was tough. Tough enough that we decided to bail on a potential interval #6.

The snow and slop on the streets heavily taxed the moisture transferring properties in my socks. They weighed about a pound each by the time I got home!

U/Avenues loop.  A planned evening run didn't pan out.

From Foothill Sbux: 3 miles w/a group of 2, then 8 miles with a group of 12, then 5 miles with a group of 5.
