morning - 11.5 Wasatch. Ran the loop on Wasatch Blvd and took it all the way up Sego Lily (for future reference, the regular loop is 10.5, not the 10 I've always put - so hooray for that). Wore my Rockets to try and prompt me to do some tempo even though it was snowing and very windy. Got up through Granite and I felt good and decided to give it a go. Had a good push for 6.5 miles. Times were all over because of the wind, hills and slick roads, but effort was very good - would have given me solid times on the Dirt Mile at home, and most cars gave me plenty of room and didn't push me into the snow banks too bad. New gloves kept the hands nice and warm; although in reality it was no colder here than at home. (Rocket 538) afternoon - 5 Dimple Dell. Ran up to Granite Park and ran on the snow covered trails in Dimple Dell. Stayed up on top; I think it called the Rim Trail. Was actually pretty fun despite being very slow going. Wanted to go a bunch more once I got going, but it is a recovery week. (VertK 19) |
