16 miles through downtown, up City Creek, and back.  I ran up past where the road is plowed and I had fun post-holing in nice powder that came to just below my kneecap. But that was a whole lot of slow, hard work so I turned back before I made it to the 8 mile mark.  On the way back in I did a loop around Temple Square to make up for the lost 1/2 mile.  I really enjoyed my run today.  For those of you in warm climates, running in a winter wonder land can really be wonderful. 

EZ start.

Miles 5 - 11 I alternated 1 minute hard pace with 1 minute recovery (should have done 6:29 pace but this was not possible with the hill and snow). 

Mile 12 - 6:29, 165bpm DOWNHILL

Mile 13 - 6:27, 168bpm DOWNHILL

EZ finish.

Hey fly do you set your Garmin to beep every minute? Is this your long run for the week or is this interval work or both?

I always love to read about your super cool super secret workouts.

This was my long run for the week. (By necessity my weeks start on Monday). I did not set the Garmin to beep every minute. That would require reading the directions... and I probably wouldn't hear the beep anyway. I just look at my wrist a lot.

Cool run!! Glad you had such a good time! (Remind me how much fun it is to run in a winter wonderland ... I tend to forget!)

You're getting fast Fly. Nice marathon paced miles there near the end of a 16 mile run. Wow!
