| I ran a southern loop including U / Guardsman /900 So. / Foothill/ Wasatch Blvd / Bonneville GC / Zoo /TiTP / Research Park / U to home (henceforth "Foothill Loop" since waiting to cross Foothill is right in the middle). I was so slow and my left glute and hamstring were tight. But I did run.

| Black Sheep workout on the Highland track. We ran 1.4 warm up loop around Sugarhouse, followed by 800 m of speed changes on the track. The workout was a ladder, 3 x 400, 2 x 800, 1 x 1200, 2 x 800, 3 x 400. All went well through the 400s, 800s and 1200. On the first 800 on the "other side" of the ladder, I had problems. I felt a bit lightheaded and my arms had the sensation of not being attached to my body. I bailed after the first lap, emptied some of the contents of my stomach (fluids), then jogged a bit. I started to feel better and joined again to finish the 400s (82, 78, 76). Then we cooled down around Sugarhouse. I don't know what happened in the middle of the workout but I'm glad I stopped rather than push through it.

| Foothill loop with Josh and Megan. I was lacking energy and the weather was not great. Pretty much my entire left leg above the knee has some kind of tightness. Things loosened up when I massaged it after the run, however. | Comments(1) |

Big Workout with Josh. Or, should I say, Complete Sufferfest. Josh had one more big workout on the calendar before Boston and I agreed to provide moral support, if not actual training support. Luke, our 9mo, was up literally all night and I spent most of the hours between 1 and 4 am fighting that loss of rationality that sometimes accompanies late-night parenting, when even seemingly benign questions like "where is his binky?" come out sounding like the words of a madman. But I did sleep well between 5:00am and 5:20, when the alarm went off. I met up with Josh at 5:45, barely conscious. It was windy and snowing and looked like it was only going to start snowing more. We ran a 3 mile warm up over to 900 South and then began the tempo run. For the meat of the workout, Josh had a 10 mile progression run planned, with a total of 16 miles overall. I had a strong suspicion it wasn't my day for a hard 10 mile run, and given the awful weather this morning, it was hard to think it was a good day for anyone to do it. My goal was 7, see how it felt, and then cool down. Well, I'll tell you it felt like crap. I struggled to maintain 6:30 pace. Most miles (I don't have my splits) were in the 6:40+ range. By mile 7, I was struggling with 7 minute pace, and also struggling with a fierce headwind and snow. I think I ended up with about 7.5 miles of tempo before it was time to jog. The thing was there wasn't much of a difference in my pace at that point, the transition from "fast" to slow was non-existent. Josh, however, ran more and faster. The upside was just getting it done on a tough morning.

This morning I ran most of Ye Olde Loop, just trying to shake out the cobwebs from Thursday's punishment. | Add Comment |

| We're up at the Bear Lake Cabin for the weekend. It was way too cold, snowy and windy to run early so I didn't get out until about 1pm. I ran out and back on the highway that circles the lake. The run out was colder and a little snowy but on the way back I actually warmed up enough to take off the jacket. With the snow overnight there was a lot of fresh snow all around and the view of the deep blue lake was memorable. | Add Comment |
