Interval workout. 2@6:39, 2@5:56, 2@6:39, 2@5:56, 2@6:39, 1@5:56 mixed slow MP with HMP. It was a good workout and it leaves me wondering about tomorrow's run and how I'll recover by morning.

I was a bit of a pansy and did this on a TM because when I got up this morning the snow was blowing sideways and I went back to bed.

Going running gear shopping with my daughter tonight. 

AM - It was chilly this morning, headed out early then back after 4 to pick up my wife for her run. Ran 6.5 with her then dropped her and the dog off and finished up the run, last half mile at HMP (good to know I can get down there when I'm feeling trashed). For some reason I'm getting a lot of tension between my shoulders right below my neck when I run. It hurts pretty bad. I tried dropping my hands and shoulders, shaking out, leaning, standing up straighter, nothing was working. Not really recovered from yesterday yet so I'm going out on a limb here and thinking I'll be blown up all week.

PM - A bit better than expected. Legs feeling tried but better. Tendonitis stinks, I'm back in a brace. It's not even close to what it was just being precautionary.

Easy recovery run out in the wind. Only run of the day.

M - Hard to get up this morning, I was awoken from a great sleep. Checked the weather on my phone and got ready. Funny thing was my phone said 5 mph wind, went outside only to almost get blown over. Where in the world do these reports come from?? Not even accurate. Oh well, climbed the hill and workout in the wind.

To all who don't have kids, you stink...I wish I could get more than 6-7 hours of sleep a night. I hope to get 7 each night. 

PM - HOLY COW, it was warm this afternoon. Still windy but not as bad as this morning probably less miles in it or I was in town and a lot was blocked. Felt decent and pushed the last half down to MP finished 5.7 loop in right at 39:00/6:49. I'm feeling good this week and other than sleep training is going good. I always forget about base building and how much it takes out of me. 

Found this and it pretty much sums up Idaho right now. 

AM - 5 easy miles with Hutch. Got to sleep in a little which felt good. Seems like all I've been doing is wind resistance training. It's either been pushing me side to side or in my face. And the dog ran about his worst day ever. I was going slow and I still drug him half the time.

PM - 5.7 at a very relaxed pace. Legs feel fine but don't have much pep in them. Right now I'm trying to decide what route I'll run tomorrow. Thinking about doing a 3 mile loop route so I can stash water and gels so I don't have to pack them with me. Looking forward to spring break next week. I'll be in St. George for a couple of days and I might try to run part of the marathon course. I'm thinking around the starting line to somewhere in snow canyon. 

Was tempted to run the 10K in Idaho Falls today but thought that I wouldn't do very good so I just ran my 3 mile loop route. As it turned out my legs came alive around mile 3 and I was able to kick it down for about 8 miles and would've been able to run a decent but not fast 10K so I probably should of went. The weather was absolutely perfect and I could never of asked for more. My wife joined me for about 6 miles and ran a very fast pace for her. Not sure if it was because I was feeling so good of if she was feeling it too. Stomach was an absolute mess this morning, for the most part I was able to control it.

 Went with my daughter to get shoes last night and I think she surprised everyone. She ended up in Adidas Rockets which are racing flats (zero drop), even the Saucony Kinvara bugged her because of the 4mm drop. We watched her stride and it was beautiful, hardly even touches her heel, lands square mid-foot. Now we just need to work on her turn over.
