| | AM - 7 AC/Mall. Yes, the day everyone has been waiting for actually arrived... I wore tights this morning. Give a guy a break - it was 5 degrees! Let the great Southern Utah Palm Tree Kill Off begin (I am going to guess I lose at least 4). The other miracle was that the Jeep actually started this morning. Dressed plenty warm with my ski mittens, facemask, tights and even grabben the old FRB/St. George Running Center jacket and the cold never really bothered me. But the ice everywhere did. Still plenty on the roads (especially the sides) and the sidewalks. So I decided to hit loops around the mall where no cars were going to kill me and I would have room to run around the ice. Plenty boring, but I survived. (F50 594.5)
afternoon - 10 Failed workout. Warmed for around 4 and then did a 2 mile Tinman on PV's new tempo loop that we'll be using this spring. With all the ice and snow these we pretty good, too bad that was it. Went on to the track because the dirt Mile obviously wasn't going to work today - but the track had a decent helping of snow on it still too. Started the first one and it felt like I was really moving, but when I checked my watch at a quarter I was ready down 4 seconds, and each lap was about the same way for a 5:24. I tried not to stress and got into the next one, but called it after only 800 when I was on pace for a 5:40. It wasn't so much the times as the feeling in my legs. They just felt very flat a lifeless - non responsive. It was probably a combination of the longer week last week topped with a longer harder run Saturday and the cold this afternoon - only 22 when I drove home. Throw that in with not wanting to run on the track and it was just enough for a negative run. Definitely an L for the day - oh well, bounce back tomorrow. I am not sure how I can get a few more miles in with all the ice. (Rocket 712.75) |

| | AM - 7 GS. Up into Green Springs in cold - just as cold as yesterday. I think I have a little bit of sickness. Holding up fine, but it may be draining me a little (probably another reason why I bonked out yesterday). (Boston 1042.25)
afternoon - 8 River Trail. Did a session of yoga for runners with the team. It felt great and hit some of my problem spots. Then went out and got 8 down on the trail. It was actually clear of snow and ice and of course with no cars it was nice. (Ronin 218)

| | AM - 10.75 Clyde's (modified). Hit a different route because of ice on the trail today. Clyde figured out a decent guess at the mileage. Having some major GI issues by the end, but I survived. It was super cold and Logan resembeled Jack Frost from the Santa Claus movie. (Kinvara Silver 268.5)
afternoon - 8.25 Parkway. Right at freezing today, so some of the ice and snow is melting and making it a little less perilous to run. But single digits tomorrow morning will freeze that melt up again of course. Threw in 5x10 sec hills to just try and get the legs to respond a little. (Connect 665.5) |

| | AM - 7 Target. In the teens today, so I didn't dress as warm. It actually felt good to feel a little of the chill in the air instead of being so bundled up. (Free 866.2)
afternoon - 11 River Trail. Saw 6 deer down by the river, at three different times. 3 were little bucks and the last two just stood there and I watched them from about 10 feet away. Actually sweated on the run. Weights after. (Oregon 725) |

| | AM - 7 GS. Just the thougth of getting up earlier and out in the cold is making it impossible to get up earlier and get a few more miles in. Next week I will do better. Just a touch warmer (can you call it that when it is in the teens? At least there are two digits on the temp, not one!) and a pretty nice run even though my hammies are kind of jacked after tightening up doing squats yesterday. (Mana 554)
afternoon - 5 Lutheran. Just got a short run on Lutheran with a little more because I wanted to play ultimate with the team. The football players had challenged the XC team, but then they didn't show up - no matter, we would have killed them. Anyone who thinks runners aren't athletes hasn't seen some of these kids (they must have just been watching Byron!). I had a pretty sick grab on a dive in the end zone that tore up my knees and shoulder and now they are all bruised and killing; hopefully they aren't too sore tomorrow morning. But it was worth it. Hanging out with a bunch of high school kids is what keeps me feeling young, so I am glad I played today. (Landreth blue 1011.65) |

| | AM - 19 Quail. Wasn't a good run - kind of a bummer week. Just felt blah and couldn't ever get in to any sort of rhythm. Planned on doing a tempo like last week, but nothing could come of it today, so I just scrapped it. Did see between 30-50 shooting stars though. All sorts of cool ones - ones with huge bright tails, small ones, multiple at the same time, crisscross ones, parallel ones... Pretty cool. So, glad something neat came from it. Just a tiring sludge fest. Even ended it early since it was taking too long. (Kinvara lime 345.25) Worst week since I have been back working hard. Goals for next week: tough to set some goals when I am not sure how the body wants to go. Had been running so well for three or so weeks, but now? Hopefully the legs come back a bit and I can get going a bit better. |
