12 really easy down to First Dam, back along the 10k route, loop through Providence and back up to campus via Main etc.  Nice run, although I discovered it's a lot colder down on the valley floor.  It was downright balmy on campus but I ended up freezing my hands during the course of the run.  Oh well, nice run today.  :)

I was going to go on my 8.5 mile loop today but I got going and my legs were shot from yesterday's run, even though yesterday didn't really feel that hard.  I guess it was longer than what I've been doing so perhaps that's why.  Anyway, so I just cut it short and called it good at 7 very slow and easy miles for today.  Tomorrow should be better.  :)

3 miles easy before leaving.  Didn't get home til 11 because of a nasty blizzard between Fillmore and Cedar so I didn't do anymore.

10 miles on the Farmer's Market out and back route.  It is SOOOO warm.  All y'all up north should be very very jealous.  It's great!

Ran to the high school to meet up with the track team.  Did their warmups and stuff with them and went on a 9 mile run with Karl.  Did some running after to cool down.  Felt grand.  A little "stormy" in Southern Utah today...a little breeze and overcast but still nice and warm compared to Logan which apparently got 2 feet of snow today.  hahahahahahahahaha!

Ran the long way to track practice 4 miles.  Did their warmups for another easy 1.5.  3x3x300m workout (300, jog 100, 300, jog 100, 300, recover) x3.  Felt really good to really work the speed. 300s were ~ :50 pace give or take a couple of seconds either way on some of them.  4x100s afterwards.  2 mile run back home to cool down.  Today was a killer day and my legs are trashed but it felt great to get a tougher workout in.  Hopefully this week will really help my speed.

2 miles of warmups counting warming up with Karl and the track team.  Legs are trashed from yesterdays speed.  3 mile easy run.  4x400s. Times were:  63, 62, 63, 61.  I was surprised that I was able to crank out that much speed considering that my legs were so sore.  4x100 strides again.  2 easy barefoot miles on the grass to cool down.  Legs feel better after the workout than before...imagine that.  It was actually hot today!  Weird.  Haven't had that sensation forever.

11 out to Farmers in LaVerkin, back to the track meet, cooled down with Karl for a mile or so, ran back home.  Felt really fast and good today.  Great run.

12 easy out in the fields.  Last day of running in sunny Southern Utah.  :(  Hopefully Logan warms up soon.  This week has been awesome though...great mileage, plenty of speed work too...great workouts.  I feel really proud of this week.  Probably the toughest week I've had in a long time as far as the quality of my workouts.  Yesss!

Was dog tired today so I took a nap in the afternoon instead of running.  After FHE the weather was so nice I just couldn't pass up a run even with it being late so I went a quick 9 miles with dinner still in my stomach (not such a good plan).  But I finished out the run in good form and it wasn't too bad at all. Hope this weather trend continues...the snow is almost gone!

12 out through Providence, by Maceys, back up Main and through North Logan a little bit.  Felt sore and crappy for a good portion of the run but I just took it real easy and didn't try to break any land speed records and it worked out okay.  Was pretty dead by the end of it though.

8 easy on the Bonneville Shoreline.  Legs are still quite sore...I'm not sure why.  Just started on Monday and I didn't do anything to warrant an injury.  My left hamstring again.  (Why is it always the left hamstring?  Do I run funny or something?)  Nothing serious but I'm gonna take the rest of the week really slow while still trying to get in all the miles I can.  We'll see how it goes.
