Salt Lake City, UT 6:30 am

Pace: 8:50

Cold and rainy this morning. I didn't sleep well last night so I was feeling pretty sluggish during my run. It was about 42 degrees but I put on my grey running jacket with a long-sleeved shirt over it, gloves and long pants. After a mile or so, I was wondering if I'd over-dressed. Then, as I got wetter and wetter, I was starting to feel a chill. So I think I dressed about right.

Pace: 8:53

I was getting tired of running through downtown, so I drove to City Creek and ran from there. It was a pretty good run, kind of cold. I don't really like driving to run because I feel like I'm wasting my time, but I did like avoiding all of the traffic lights.

Salt Lake City, UT 7:00 am

Pace 8:19

Not only have I been getting tired of running through downtown, I'm kind of tired of the hills too (I'm getting tired of a lot of things lately). So, I took off down 7th South to Liberty park and did three laps. The path was really squishy. Wood chips on top of what must be rubber. It was nice to run on, but when I hit the pavement again I felt like you do when you get off of a trampoline and then try to jump.

I got passed by a guy on my third lap. Then I passed him.

This has been a long week already. I'm ready to leave the Deseret News and go home for a while. So I wasn't very motivated this morning.

I drove over near City Creek, parked the car and ran up 3rd North and back down 11th North, but went across the canyon and ran around the State Capitol building. It made for a little different scenery, but was pretty hilly.

Meridian, ID 8:00 am

Pace: 8:30

After feelling guilty all day for skipping Friday's run, I decided to do a longer one on Saturday. I crossed Eagle and ran in Meridian this time. It is hard to dress this time of year. It was 28 degrees when I left, but was into the 40s by the time I finished, so I was getting a little warm.

Not a bad run. I just realized that I went out on an easy run with the same time that I finished my first half marathon two years ago. Not bad.
