Treadmill. Two mile warm up. AT/LT tempo. 6:15/5:45, switching every half mile. I had to go to the bathroom after three, so the workout became 2 x 3 miles instead of six straight miles. Still, it was pretty tough. I haven't done much in the LT range, lately. I cooled down for fifteen minutes.

It seemed especially dark this morning. I can't wait for summer to get here. 700w to Winchester, back on 1300 S. 7:25 average. My goal this week: Run every day without missing. Pathetic, I know.

Happy Birthday to my tiny boy, Myles. I think he is going to redefine "Terrible Two".

It was a nice, warm,wet morning. It was nice having clean air. I decided to get back on the track. That was a shock to my body. I warmed up 3.25 miles, and then ran 15 x 200 on/off. The track was slippery. My first 200 was 43, but all the rest were 40 to 41. You gotta start somewhere, though. Since I have a couple 5ks coming up, I will probably throw in one day a week of shorter intervals, hopefully around 5:20 pace. I cooled down 2.25 miles. Core when I got home.

Weekly Daybreak run with Caisa. 7:17 average with lots of long climbs. Good strength run. I'm trying to talk Caisa into racing. She's super talented, but hasn't raced since college.

Two mile warm up. 10 x 3 minutes on, two minutes off. Cool down until I hit eleven miles. This week is looking much better than last week in terms of mileage. Now I just have to keep it up. I'm going to run for Utahrunning.com's team in 2015. I really appreciate the sponsorship. It gave me a little boost of motivation this week.

I'm going to be tired on tomorrow's long run.

I ran on the Salt Lake marathon course with Jenny. It's pretty tough! I didn't feel my very best, but I was happy to get the mileage in. 7:12 average.

Good end to a successful week! Now, I need to keep it up.
