| I've been wondering for a while how to get faster if I can't really push my limits in Zero Drop shoes. I'm sure the answer is I can push my limits, I just have to do it in smaller intervals than I was doing when I hurt myself. That said, I still wanted a second road shoe; something I could go to when I wanted to do speed work that was probably not going to go so well in the zero drop Altras. I asked a very knowledgeable person, who suggested that I invest in a different type of shoe. So that's what I did. I love them! I did a 3 mile loop around City Creek Canyon road and back. I felt tired before I got out of my car but as soon as I started moving it seemed like I couldn't move slower than an 8:30 pace, and I couldn't even move that slow for very long. I ended up doing the 3 miles in 24:02, which I thought was really good since half that run is uphill and I'm coming off an injury. It didn't feel like I was pushing my leg hard at all. My splits were: 8:18, 7:55, 7:45. At one point I hit 7:04 on the way back down, which is fast for me but didn't feel that fast. |

| I knew I had to get a run in at lunch today if I was going to get one at all. I need to be doing 2 a day, especially if I'm going to be doing these shorter distances, but since it is the day of love and my wife doesn't love running that isn't going to happen. I got 4 in up City Creek canyon in the Altra's. I went a bit slower than yesterday but it was intentional. I didn't want to push to hard and hurt myself. Still I managed a sub 9 pace for the whole thing even with some steep hills. The run around the canyon road isn't that bad but today, after going around the canyon, I cut down to memory grove and back up state street to the capital. That hill is tough. In fact, almost the whole run from state and north temple back to the canyon road is 6% grade or better. I need to be hitting that hill more often I think, it will prepare me for the grade on the mountain trails I hope to hit this spring/summer. The run felt great, the effort didn't feel forced. All in all, this was a good run. AP: 8:49, Vert: 371 |

Same route as yesterday with a little added distance at the turn around area and at the state street north temple intersection. I knew I wasn't going to get a second run in today either so I just went the 4 miles again. I made good time. Splits were: 8:38, 8:14, 8:01, 9:01 and 1:37 for the last .19 (8:23 pace). I like that route, it has both mountain views and steep hill running all within a nice little area mostly devoid of cars. AP: 8:28 (20 seconds faster than yesterday per mile), Vert: 425'

| Same run as yesterday. 1 second faster per mile overall. If it is going to stay nice I'm going to start hitting the trails. |

| Same as yesterday with a little muddy trail added in. I wasn't in the right shoes for that so I bailed on the trial and went back to the asphalt. Hitting some trail tomorrow before the asphalt though. Should be fun. AP: 8:42; Vert: 470' |

| Great Early AM run with MatthewVH up to Flag Rock. I've been on that trial a lot in the past but it wasn't as nice as it is now. He is in much better shape than I am. I struggled up some of those hills, mostly the one's made of dirt. The trail was virtually snow free, with a few short exceptions. I don't suppose that will last through the night. Matt was at the top a good 3 minutes before me. View Details Run #2 was up city creek with the lake to lake relay team. Just an easy 4 miles, but it wasn't really that easy after Flag Rock. Clearly I need to hit that trail more often. |
