So I wake up and the sun is shining and I think, wow great day for a long run! Genius that I am however I wait until 3pm to start. At about the ten mile point the temperature dropped from about 10 degrees and it started snowing.  I was not dressed appropriately. I considered turning around but when you're at the 10mile point of a 20miler there's not much to do except tough it out.  I averaged 7:20 pace but I really ran in the last mile at about 6:30 because I was anxious to be done.

Course: Jordan River Trail to 53rd South

Ran 3.5 to school in the AM

Instead of doing an AT run I just did a base run (9 miles) I felt pretty good but was slowed down by snow on the shoreline trail to begin with so this is probably about right. I did some core work and plyo drills afterwards.

Ran up city creek to where it was ploughed. I keep doing this run faster which makes me keep reevaluating how far it is.  It's 15-16 miles. Not a big mileage difference but a difference in pace. I felt like I was really moving..

AM 3.5

PM ran to the East High School track but found the track team there (surprise). Their practices last until 5pm by the way. No matter, I ran home and then did the first of what will be many LP (that's Liberty Park) workouts. I did 2*2laps(=3miles) in 17:20 then 17:39, which was decent. I was trying to do goal marathon pace on the woodchips. I feel that running these repeats on soft surface really helps to build strength. (It certainly helps for XC at least!). Hopefully, now that I've got a baseline it will be easier to push myself in the future.

Next week I'm going to do Sugarhouse repeats. Nobody should get this excited about workouts!

I also did 5 miles of warmup slash cooldown.
