Wheeler Farm Loops

PM - 13 miles on the McFee / Turkey / Bacon loop. Same run as Friday, but 12 minutes faster. We had an awesome weekend at our friends' wedding. I'm not sure how I managed to feel so good on this run. Stayed up about 6 hours past normal bedtime each of the last 3 nights... Well worth it :-) Also discovered that dancing, of all things, doesn't hurt Andrea's hip... go figure. So we did that until our legs gave out. Flying back to SLC tonight.

It was 70 degrees and sunny all 3 days in TN.

AM - 8.7 miles up to work. Nice to see Utah got a little character building weather!

PM - 4.3 miles down to SHP. Walked around a bit through the snow w/ Andrea and then we ran a lap around the track just because its fun to run on the track when its covered in snow.

AM - 10 miles. Post run, I took a hard fall while scraping off my jeep - luckily all of my body weight came down on my elbow, which I barely need for athletics anyways. I'm not planning on getting into javelin anytime soon. The jeep miraculously started on the first try after a full week off sitting around in some colder temps, so I'll take a somewhat painful fall as a tradeoff for not having to get out my jumpstarter.

Saw a pair of guys laying a skintrack above HCI when I got up to work (Update - it was exactly who I guessed it was). They were moving pretty quick. I was a bit envious. There's rarely enough snow on the hills above the upper parking lot to make it worth while (without risking putting a rock through your shin), even in the middle of winter. 

PM - 30 minutes of pool running w/ Andrea. 

AM - 8 miles up to work. 

PM - 8 miles home. 

AM - 8 miles up to work. The battery on my Timex died! I've had this one for 3 years so it was due. Finding a tiny screwdriver and replacing the battery will be my big project for tonight.

PM - 4.3 miles down to SHP + 10 x 100m on the track. Andrea was getting sick of me talking about how out of shape I am, so she told me to snap out of it and go do some strides.

AM - 8 miles up to work. I know, I know... pretty exciting stuff!

PM - 4.3 miles down to SHP + 8 x 100m strides on the track. So, slightly different than yesterday. 

AM - 16 miles. Wasatch Blvd  / 6200S loop. Kept a pretty good pace (avg 5:59/mi) and picked it up a bit at the end, hitting the last couple in ~5:20. Last 10 miles was ~56:30. Good little test for the hamstring. I'm getting really anxious to start rolling again.

After I finished I did 30 minutes of very light pool jogging w/ Andrea. Nice way to cool down the muscles.
