| Costco loop extended to 6200 S, and back on 1300W. Dark, cold, and icy. Typical winter running. I was not amused by the guy who told me he couldn't see me. I was wearing a reflective vest and blinking light. Really? I'm glad the guy was walking and not driving. 7:24 pace. I felt good except for cold cheeks.
I was inspired by this article about a 37-year-old marathoner who had dropped her PR from 2:41 to 2:23 in the last 4 years. Of course, she had a rare form of anemia, but still . . . there might be some fast miles in these legs, yet.

| I had one of my insomnia nights last night. You know, the ones where you can't seem to turn your brain off? So, I did not get up at 5. I thought I would hit the gym for a tempo run. Unfortunately, it was a bad daycare day for Myles. I will try again tomorrow. Hopefully, my brain will be all thunk out. ( or thought out if you are a grammar nazi.)

| It's snowing this morning. It's also supposed to snow tomorrow morning. And Friday morning. I really really really don't like winter. And yes, I may just complain about it daily.
3 mile warm up plus 5 mile tempo run at the health club. Then, I cooled down until I hit 70 minutes of running. 10.5 miles total in 70 minutes, 30:08 for the 5 mile tempo. 6:01-02 pace for whatever it's worth.

| Jenny was nice enough to watch Lily and Myles for me while I went running today. Not only that, she lent me her ipod and Garmin, because I forgot mine. What a good friend. So, I went for an afternoon run around Cottonwood Heights and Murray. I got snowed on pretty good, so I cut the run a little bit short. Still, I'm really glad that I was able to get out and get some running in. 7:02 average pace.

| Workout at the Oval. 20 minute warm-up, followed by 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 minute fartlek, with 1-1-2-2-3-2-2-1-1 minute recoveries. It was a lot of laps. I actually lost count. 15 minute cooldown. 75 minutes total running time. I'm guessing about 10 miles. I'm so accurate today.
I listend to "Let It Go" from Frozen about 6 times on the way to and from the Oval. My inner Broadway diva loves this song. The Idina Menzel version, not the Demi Lovato version.

| I'm incredibly sore from yesterday. I was not really looking forward to running at 5:30 on a Saturday morning. However, Teren had somewhere to be at 7:30, so an early morning run it was. Luckily, Jenny met me to run. We ran 4800S to 1300W, down to Winchester, over to Fashion Place Boulevard, and back to Murray Park. We needed an extra lap around the park to hit 13, but I'm glad we did it. I was originally willing to stop at 12.
Besides the early morning cold and stiffness, I enjoyed the run. I'm glad that Jenny and I can share anything. Today was one of those deep, meaningful conversations that can happen when you run with a good friend. Getting the mileage in is important, but even more so is having time to connect with a friend. There's nothing more conducive to good coversation than a long run!
7:25 pace. I really need a good stretch, a hot shower, a cup of hot chocolate, and a nap.
