Trails!

Half Marathon in the snow.

Things started out ok today with just a tiny bit of snow to start out in.  Things got progressively worse as the snow picked up on my North Logan Loop (short) course.  By the time I hit Lundstrom Park, I was blinded by the snow flakes.  I will blame my faceplant as I ran down old main hill on the snow as well.  I slipped backwards on hidden ice under the snow,but still somehow fell forward onto my face at 6 min pace.  My gloves took most of the fall for me.  I suppose the snow cushioned it as well.  That crash slowed me down considerably for a while.  The kicker was the two unscheduled #2 stops even with taking a pill this morning.  Not sure if the pill kept to down to two from five or if it just didn't do anything.  You just never know.

8 slow and luckily untimed.  I would guess I wasn't breaking 9 min miles today.

Providence - Millville Hills short

Today's run was uptempo with a solid effort on the hills.  Life is just too busy to waste effort on thoughtful entries.

Long Run - 

Horray, I made it through a long run without bonking!  Its been a long time since that has happened.  It sure feels good. I ran up to mile 13 of the TOU marathon course and back.  I made it to the turnaround in 71:30 back in 67:17.  I didn't throw in too many fast miles, but kept the average sub 7.  That is all for now....
