morning - 8.25 GreenSprings.  Felt a little tight in the joints, especially around my hips.  Did 5x10 sec. hills on the FireStation.  Those actually felt pretty decent.  When I got home, I let the dog drag me around the neighborhood another 3/4 mile.  (Cumulus blue 476.9

afternoon - 10 Junction.  Just a easy jogger through the drizzling rain and sleet.  (Cumulus white 431.55)

morning - 8.75 Middleton.  Again, not too bad of temps this morning.  I noticed the other day in the snow that my feet almost run in a single line as I run - which I suppose isn't really great form; so I worked a little today on spreading my feet out a little by hitting one foot on the road line and the other just off of it.  Got home and took the dog around the block again.  (Landreth black 308.3)

evening - 8.65 6x1000's.  Did these on the treadmill.  I like how it forces me to keep the pace.  Warmed up with 1.5 and really didn't feel too excited to get into the workout, but once it started it was high pace and no going back. 1 and 2 were at 5:10 pace (3:14'ish), 3 at 5:07 pace (3:11'ish), 4 at 5:05 pace (3:09'ish), 5 at 5:02 pace (3:08'ish) and finally 6 at 5:00 pace (3:07'ish) with 90 secs. recovery between.  Pretty tough and really worked me over.  Cooled down with 2.5 around the neighborhood a bit.  (Landreth  538.9)

AM - 12 Target Loop.  Up a little earlier today to get a little longer run in before we head out to breakfast.  Legs felt pretty good at first, but they were pretty tired at the end.  (Stratus black 96.75)

afternoon - 10.75 Mustang Pass Trail.  At first I wasn't too excited to go out and run; my legs were tired and I was tired, but I figured I would go up MillCreek and hit 8.  When I got up on the trail the sand was perfect, so I thought I might go to the top and go 9.  But just before the top I saw the sign to the Mustang Pass Trail - which I have never run - and it beckoned me.  It was a fun little jont up and over the litte pass, up into the snow still.  Then it came out at IceHouse and I came on down home.  Ended up being longer than I wanted, and I am glad it wasn't more, but it was a fun trail that I'll do again.  (Cumulus blue 487.65)

0 - took one for the team today as we had to beat the storm up to Salt Lake after Christmas morning.  Then it was much too stormy after all the festivities.

PM - 5 Sego Lily. Stormed all day and I didn't think I would be able to get a run in. But by the end of the day, I decided just to go out and brave it. None of the roads had been plowed and I had to run in the car ruts; jumping out to the way into the drifts as cars came by. I felt like going more, but decided not to press my luck.

morning - 13 Wasatch and Dimple Dell. The roads were still pretty shabby, but cars were pretty considerate and most didn't shoot snow and slush all over me. Run was pretty crappy and my legs were really spent, but it was pretty out. I am glad I don't have to train in this beastly stuff. (Cumulus gold 118.2)

Hit some decent mileage this week even with the missed day and low mileage at the end of the week.  And the 1000's were good.

Goals for next week: Get another good week in since I'll have some time.  Mileage maybe around 80, but don't push it.  My abs/hip are hurting a little in the last couple days, so I'll be careful on that.
