Trails!

Providence canyon road - 18 degrees and I felt it.  Brrr.

Tiny workout today.  The idea is to boost my aerobic volume while building base.  The plan was to run 5 miles at 6:45-7:00 pace then run one fast mile (sub 6) then an easy mile then fast then 2 easy as cool down.  It went pretty well as I kept all miles under 7 min/mile with the fast miles at 5:48 (slight down) and 6:00 (slight up).  The course was an old favorite.  One mile until I met up at Mile 24 of TOU to Mile 20 and back. 

So, the big question remains. Did I boost my aerobic capacity?  Probably not, but I am sure that it is better off after today than if I had run an easy 8.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Today's run was a run of thanks.  I am pretty happy to be healthy and running.  I am grateful for my family, job, religion, friends, our soon to be completed house.  Lots of blessings right now! 

Paul and I ran up to the start of the singletrack on the Logan River Trail and back.  A nice longer run mid week.  Good stuff.

Landfill loop easy

Did a quick 5 before meeting up with some of the guys for an easy run.  We had a different crowd today with newcomer Scott and old Logan veteran James join Paul and myself.  We did a loop up into the providence hills.  Found out that we ran past Scott's house on the way (next time he will want us to pick him up instead).  Good run, worked off a lot of the thanksgiving turkey.  It was especially great to have company and enjoy the nice November weather.

This was a good mileage week for me (thanks to the long weekend) 60 miles in singles.
