Philippians 4:13

7M this morning before church in 51:18.  Cooler and windy but at least the roads/pathway wasn't slick.  Still trying to get over this cold (I didn't sleep well last night at alL) so the pace was a bit slow.

A beautiful day after church, so I went back out for a short 5K run at fast easy pace (6:35) along Sunnyside to start off the week on a good note.  

It was colder, snowy and slick outside so I headed to the gym for a run.  Still have my headcold so I wasn't sure how this was going to go.  1M warmup, then 6M at MP between 6:22 and 6:03 with the last 0.1M at a 5:33 pace.  Overall 7M in 44:25 (6:21) so not bad for still being a bit sick.  (Stratos)

5.05M at lunch in cold (20 degrees) but calmy conditions on a very slick pathway around the greenbelt.  Could not impart any power to the ground or I just spun out so this was a really slow run (38:30) on a treacherous surface.  I got splashed by a car on purpose during the run as well...they saw me on the sidewalk and turned into the slush to nail me...jerks!  (Tornado)

Had a hard time getting up this morning and even though it was relatively nice outside, with just getting over this cold I didn't feel like being out in the cool temps so I hit the gym TM.  1M easy, 6M at MP for 7M total in 43:40 (6:14 avg) with 4M at 6:10 or faster.  At 6.5M I was running pretty hard and felt a twing in my abdomen (hernia area) so I cut it back and just finished off 7 miles instead of going for 8 miles.  Feels fine now but was worrisome when I felt it.  (Stratos)

4.35M at lunch out in the desert.  The weather was calm and nice temp (27 degrees) and I overdressed.   Nice easy run in 30:25 just to keep the legs recovered.   (Tornado)

Got my check from PowerBar yesterday for my win at Pocatello...cool!

I was really warm outside this morning (35 degrees) with no wind so I went out for my early morning run.  The pathway was a bit slick with either a skiff of snow or about 1 inch for the whole run but overall the footing wasn't bad.  1M at 8:30 to get into the run, next 2M at around 8 minute pace, then the last 4M at 7:30 or below to finish 7.05 miles in 54:55.  Overall a good early morning outside run.  Will try to get a run in at lunch but work might get in the way again.  (Trigon)

4M at lunch in the desert in 26:47 on a warmer and clear day.  Good quick run.  (Tornado) 

It was 10 degrees outside this morning and I just didn't feel like facing the cold, so I hit the gym TM.  1M easy w/u, 1.5M at slow/moderate MP, 3.5M at fast MP (5:50), 1M at moderate MP, 0.5M recovery and 0.5M fast finish pace (last 0.2M at 5:30).  Overall time of 49:03 for a 6:08 average pace for the run.  Really good considering I almost went back to bed, then started the run thinking 6M and I am done.  Good start to the day!  (Stratos)

5M at lunch around the greenbelt on a cold but calm and cloudy/foggy day.  The pathway was 50/50 dry/ice the whole way so I could never really get a good groove.  Total time of 36:40 for an easy 7:20 average.  (Tornado) 

It was my day off today so I slept in and let Kami go to spinning class with a friend while it was 5 degrees outside.  After getting the kids off to school, we went to the gym and lifted for a bit.  Then we ran around did some errands followed by a light lunch.  At about 1:30pm, I went out for my run on sunny calm day with temps around 25 degrees...nice.

The run was going really well, started around 7:00 pace, then pick it up a bit and hit the 10M mark in just under 1:10.  But around 11M, my left foot started having a hotspot and became tender and my lack of fuel started to catch up to me.  I finished 16M in 1:53:52 (7:07) pace with my last 5K being really pathetic..but I got it done for the week.  

9.1M this morning after Kami went to work and the kids were up.  Ran about half the way with McKay who peeled off and finished the run with Andrea and Lynette.  It was a cold (7 degrees) but calm morning and it was nice to run with some daylight.  Overall a nice easy run in 1:10:14 talking with Lynette most of the way (Andrea was not feeling good for most of the run so she was a bit behind us).   Left leg and foot felt fine today.
