Nice and easy.  Icy morning turned melted by third 4.38 mile loop done thrice.    First jogged to the party slow and steady 10:27 avg for .82 miles.   Jason's bday run.  My bday as well (both feb 7) .  9:03 avg with that lovely slow opening mile.  But my body was craving the slow pace.  Sun out and was a perfect running morning. 742 am start.   Ran home.   Nice to have water and Gatorade and a banana at Jason's house.   Scott m and his wife was there. Also a friend I hadn't seen in a while Jen Richards.

8 am.   Start.   Was going to do speed but when started my legs and lower back were tight and achy and not up for killing it with speed.   So I did some math of multiples and decided 4 x4 miles starting at 6.5 mph for 4.  Then 6.6/6.7 then last four I did 6.8 x 2.  6.9 x 1.  7 mph x 1. Then 8 avg for last mile.   Tm stops at 99 min.   To a cool down mode so got to 11 at 99:52.  Then one or two min rest within water refill. That's all I had for the 2 hr 23 min run.  Water.  No breakfast.    Did the five miles in 43:23.    Avg for all 16 miles = 8:57.  I find when I do nice and slow long runs I actually do better when I eventually race.   Looking back at 2011 my fastest year but in January February March April May  etc slowest long runs

Three warm up.  8 x 2.5 on/off.  8.9 x 2.  9 x2.  9.1x2. 9.2 x2. No stopping Exceot at end of each one as tm timer still going. Would stand for 28 seconds and jump on at 6.5 mph x 2 min and go right into next one.   Ran four additional minutes to make up for the standing that equaled about 4 min.  2 x 9.9 mph x 60 seconds done in that.

Late solo start.  Told myself to just get it done by going slow.   So first four miles were avg of a 10 pace.  Ran up silo road to mouth of canyon. To Healy park to village way to eternal fountain.  Me and a dog shared some water.  Then ran home straight from there passing lone peak hs and the temple.  Stopped twice once when I saw jonathon coming down silo road.  He was on mile 14.   Then again at water fountain.   Oh and thirty seconds to take off my long sleeves.  Fastest mile 8:41 lol.   Avg pace 9:18.    Lovely day in February.   Chili air but sunshine.  A few clouds at end.
