Maybe I'll Blog, Maybe I Won't

11 easy to moderate pace.  Legs felt great today!  Ran down to First Dam where my FHE group was doing FHE and watched them freeze their butts off by jumping in a 35-40 degree lake (in 45 degree weather) while re-enacting the "Iron Rod" story.  I used the fact that I was in the middle of a run as an excuse not to do something that stupid.  It was funny...there was definitely some language that will need to be edited out of that one.  haha.  Anyway, ran down the last half of the First Dam 10k course, up River heights and then east to that one road and out through Providence.  Was headed to Main, but then I had the misfortune of running into a couple of other old reprobates crazy enough to run in the dark and stormy night...namely Jon and Cody.  ;)  Ran with them all the way back to campus on part of the route I came and that was it.  Nice run.  A little chilly and rainy towards the end but it felt really good.  Had a good strong pace most of the way.  Hovered around 7 min. averaging maybe slightly under 7 min pace.  I think winter is starting to be here.  :(

10 easy pace up through Hyde Park.  New route through the fields.  Cold today but nice run.

Easy for 8 miles, Bonneville Trail down to First Dam, along Canyon Road to and out around the First Dam 10k Course to Merlin Olsen Park, up past the Temple and back through campus.  Last 2 miles hit tempo run pace just to get a workout but felt very good.  Weather was pretty cold again but I was dressed for it so it wasn't bad.  Great run today.

North Logan/Main/4th North Loop.  8.6 mi. hard pace.  6:30 or better pace the whole way.  Legs got tired heading up 4th North but other than that they felt very strong.  I like running down Main because I can look at myself in all the windows and make sure that my form looks good and stuff.  Tried to work on that today.  It was a cold one today...didn't get out til after dark.  I hate this daylight savings time...I don't think it actually saves any daylight.  :P  Good run though so I'll survive.

6.5 miles very easy.  Nothing special.

Met Jon at the start of the Canal Trail then ran up to the River Trail start where we picked up Paul.  Easy pace but my legs were a little fatigued for some reason...no problem though.  Went almost to the G-something Campground and came back.  15 miles.  Felt good but I was ready to be done when we were done.  Longest run since St. George.  Weather was beautiful...a little chilly but being dressed warm it wasn't too bad...plus I think I am starting to get used to the cooler temps...still 30 or 40 degrees to go though.  :P  oh well.  Good day today.
