Trails!

Ran to Logan High and back with Dan. Weather was pretty nice. I did get a bit muddy though. All the shoulders are covered in dirt and mud. Pace was nice and easy. We set out to do 7:15 mile pace, and we finished with a 7:12 overall pace.

Total Time: 50:23

Today I ran the YESCO to End of Paved River Trail and back. It was getting dark and cold and I didn't have gloves. I sure missed them. We (Dan and I )beat last weeks time, but barely. The miles felt more forced today. I felt like I was working too hard.

We hit the "Golden Mile" splits in 6:01 and 6:09 (6:52, 7:01 actual mile pace).

Total Time: 67:23 (6:47 pace)

Ran the Gossner Modified with Dan today. Rainy and muddy. Easy pace.

Total Time: 42:23 (7:04 mile)

Ran a new course that I am calling Darrell's out and back. Probably not the smartest idea to run on a narrow two lane highway (speed limit 60 or so) when it is dark. We (Dan and I ) made it safely getting an adrelenin rush when you thought the car was going to get you. We started out with the first 3 miles on target (6:45, 6:50, 6:57). Then we did our mini tempo 6:30 goal pace for two miles (6:28,6:22). Afterthat, it felt easy to maintain 6:45 pace so we did(6:46,6:37,6:37). Total Time: 53:26 (6:40 miles) Ave HR: 166

Ran the Green Canyon Run with Dan.

A weather station next to our work said a steady 10mph wind out the West. I was glad to have it at our backs, but when it was in our faces, it felt like we were barely moving. This course is very hilly as well. That is the end of the excuses, I swear.

Total Time: 66:26 (7:07miles)

Ran the Providence Hill Loop with Paul. I was feeling pretty tired for the pace we ran. I did much better after a pit stop, but overall a good run to work off the holiday junk food.

I ran a tad more than Paul as I ran to and from his house.

My splits are as follows:

7:08, (2:33 for .35mi reset laps at pauls house), 6:52, 6:44, 7:35 (hills),7:47 (hills), 6:32, 6:31, 6:47, 7:07, 6:37, 7:13, 7:24 + :30 to finish.

Total Time: 1:27:27

Ave Pace: 7:02
