Running fool

It was an extremely snowy morning!  I met Riley, Ben, Matt, Ken, & Jon at Mount Ogden Park.  It was a good thing I have 4x4!  Riley, Jon, & Ken ran higher trails, while Matt, Ben, & I stayed on lower trails and the roads.  I had to cut the run early in account for the snow.  It was fun, but tiring to run in fresh snow!

Matt and I met at my house at 5:15.  We jogged a mile to Weber State's gym to do a workout.  We did another mile inside and the started out workout.  The plan was 4x1.5 miles at 6:00 pace with a 2:30 rest/jog.  We did the first one in 9:02 which was pretty tough and rested 3:00.  The next one was our best at 8:58 with 3:00 rest.  The next one Matt dropped off a bit and I ended up slower then I would have liked also at 9:09 with 3:00 rest.  At this point we were both really tired.  We decided to cut the last one to a mile which we did and finished with a 6:02.  Overall it was a good workout, especially with all the black ice we hit with just our mile warm up.  

Matt and I met at the Dee and ran on some snowy roads on a cold day.  

Met Riley, Matt, & Ken at OHS and ran towards 20th down to the parkway to Washington and back.  Average: 7:43 (7:54, 7:26, 7:32, 7:41, 8:38, 8:52, & 8:29).

I met Matt in Riverdale to leave a car as we planned to met Ken up in Unitah townhall to warmup and then do a tempo as part of the sock run.  I was happy with the results, but wished I had better endurance fo longer runs.  I know that will come in time.  I saw a bunch of people I knew at the Sock run so it was a great time! Average pace 7:27 (7:55, 7:49, 7:21, 7:43, 8:19, 7:28, 6:44, 6:40, 6:41, 6:28, 6:23, 6:29, 6:28, 8:40, 7:55, 8:31, & 8:44)
