AM - 7 Hospital.  Good easy run to start the week.  Used my new gloves (ski mittens) and they were very warm.  I had to take them off a couple times to cool off the hands - blah... but it is still nice out; later this week when the weather really gets colder they should work great.  (Free 859.2)

afternoon - 12.25 4xDirt mile. Ran a warm up with team to Harts, timed their 800 and then came home for my workout. warmed up 2.5 more and then 2 more at attempted Tinman. My lack of drive and inability kind of scared me for the workout, but at the same time I didn't stress, just tried to shrug it off. Got I to the mile repeats. Goal was to do 4 no matter. Got going on the first one and my time was looking better than I thought and I held on for a good, relaxed 5:07. 2-:04, felt very good this one and just kept relaxed. 3-:10, started better than ever on this one and I think that led to me relaxing a bit too much on the middle. 4-:08, started to hurt a bit more on this one, but I thought I was really moving on the first watch check. But it showed I was way slower than any of the other ones today, so I worked really hard to get it down below 5:10. Cooled for about 1.25 and with the jog on the 3 min rec got a decent mileage. Super tired now. (Rocket 702.75)

AM - 7 Hospital.  Another 7 this morning on the opposite direction of the Hospital run from yesterday.  Felt okay, but I could have used a lot more sleep.  (F50 587.5)

afternoon - 6 Sunrise Hills.  Ran over and did 4xSunrisers.  Ran the first one with Mia and she hit a great time 2:02, then I tried to push with the boys a little and went 1:53, :52, and :55.  So not too bad.  A W for the day.  (Kinvara3 521.5)

AM - 7 Target.  Seven snowy miles.  The traction wasn't bad for me, but apparently it was for the cars!  So I tried to keep away from any scary roads.  Over three inches at my house when I left this morning.  (Connect 667.25)

afternoon - 10 laps/Green Springs. I went out and did 5 miles on the track before practice - super boring, but everything was still covered in snow. Then up into GS with the team, followed by 8xstriders (not barefoot today) on the track, where I threw out a complete domination of Mia! (Kinvara 916.9)

AM - 10.25 Clyde's.  Pretty cool out - 17!  Gloves worked great...  (Kinvara Lime 326.25)

afternoon - 5 Washington.  Felt a bit worn down this afternoon.  Left Trevor a little message on his doorstep (we decapitated his snowman and left it there for him).  (Ronin 210)

AM - 6 Foremaster.  So cold this morning.  We are not built for this in Southern Utah!  (Boston 1035.25)

afternoon - 10 GS/PL/Midd. Haven't been up on this trail in a long time. It was nice and lonely, but very disappointing. The developers have taken another big chunk out of the desert at the top of Green Springs and a big neighborhood at the top of Middleton as well - both new neighborhoods totally block access to the trail so I had to run through construction. What is the point of protecting the natural beauty that you moved here for right? (mana 547)

AM - 20 Quail. Totally overdressed for this run. The clouds came in last night and made it much warmer than the last couple mornings. Could have used just normal running gloves and none of the extra stuff, so I had to haul it all with me and then keep taking my mittens on and off because my hands would get too hot. Pretty slow run to get going, but then ended solid. Kept pretending to snow and I thought it would get going good (although it is now). Extended through Coral canyon to get to 20. Did 5.5 miles of progressive tempo from 11-16.5. Didn't hammer it at the start, just warmed into it and ended up running well. 6:15, 5:50, 5:53, 5:38, 5:40, 5:35 pace. Then chilled up highland hill and wanted to hit 2 more at LT, but I was a little tired and never got going that great. 5:27 and then just called it when I was over 6:00 pace at 1.5 and jogged it in. (Kinvara Silver 257.75)

Good week, happy with the mileage and the workouts.

Goals for next week: keep it progressing.
