I just ran another comfortable run. It all seemed to go faster uphill than when I was running on the flats. I started with the bloomington loop, took tonaquint hill over to hilton dr, ran up the trail to bluff, down bluff to convention dr, picked up the virgin river trail back to bloomington, and on to home.

Splits: 8:37, 8:21, 8:12(tonaquint hill), 8:00, 7:42, 7:59(run up to bluff on trail), 7:39, 7:51, 7:57, and 7:45 (slightly uphill with a push for a strong finish).

NICE JOB!!!! Speedy hill splits. I so wish I was there running instead of here. But I did hear it got really cold yesterday. How cold did it get?

This entire week is cold. The mornings have been between 15 and 25. My run was at 32. The wind makes it worst, but I have been covering up, so not too bad. I noticed you have been the TM queen this week... How has that been treating you? I get sore on the TM.

I get sore, too, and my IT band starts to hurt. But I am lazy and tired of getting up in the morning, and knowing how cold it is out there does not help me!!

So, that is pretty cold for this time of year there, right? It better warm up before Painters!!!

The TM kills my shins!! :)

Painters has been hit and miss in the past for cold weather. My first painters I finished with icicles hanging off the ends of my hair. The temp was 11 when i started and 19 when i finished.

What is your estimated time for painters? I am shooting for a 1:40... that's a PR!

I am actually going to pace someone at Painters again this year. Last year I paced Marion at a 2:27. This year I am pacing Emily and hoping to get her in around 2-2:10. I really need to come and run Painters for me, I like the course. The weather was perfect for running last year, so I will hope for some more of that!!!

I think you can easily do 1:40!
