My whole family was sick last week, including me.  Nasty winter viruses!   But, now we are all on the mend, except for Teren, who started coughing last night. 

I ran an easy six down 4800 S, and on to the River Trail.  Some guy wearing basketball shorts passed me on the slippery wooden walk way because I was taking it very slowly since it was dark and I couldn't see.  I passed him on the trail, but then I turned down a side trail, which I thought connected with the main trail.  It didn't.  I re-traced my steps, and found myself behind Basketball Shorts.  I think I freaked him out a little bit because I kept disappearing and re-appearing throughout his run.  I left the trail at Millrace Park, and ran through the Taylorsville High driving range and parking lot, through the neighborhood, and back to my house. 

I decided that I am done with winter!

 

PM:  Half an hour of running, followed by cycle class.  A fun filled hour of alternating hill and sprint drills.  Glad I had Andrea there to suffer with me.

Yesterday did me in.  I only managed 5 miles today.  But, I should be ready to go for a longer run and boot camp tomorrow! 

PS  The river trail is completely clear.  Jake wanted to know.

Track workout with Devra.  We warmed up 3 miles, and then ran a ladder 200-400-600-800-800-600-400-200.  Times were 34, 1:19, 2:00, 2:44, 2:46, 2:01, 1:17, 36.  It felt foreign to my body to move that quickly.  I love track workouts, though I would like to be running them faster.  Speed will come!  It wasn't a bad start. 

After the workout, we cooled down 2 more miles.

Devra is fast!

Long-ish run today.  I planned on taking a lifting class at 9:15, so I decided to just do everything at the club.  I ran a progressively faster run, starting at 7:30 pace, and increasing every 4 minutes.  The first 20 minutes was nice and easy, the second 20, still nice and comfortable.  The third 20 minutes I began to wonder when the workout was going to be over, and the fourth was hard . . . of course that 20 minutes averaged out at 6:10 pace, with the last mile at 6:00.  Then, I rode the exercise bike easy for 15 minutes to get my legs back under me, and to kill time before class.
