| | 13.1 miles 1:51:49 8:32 ave pace, out and back from home. 1st run in Crocs for about a month. Nice return. Not many miles this week, didn't plan it that way but the dip in mileage is a nice break. Time to load up on mileage, gotta PR to get. |

| | 20.1 miles 2:58:40 8:56 ave pace. This turned into an impromptu 20 miler. I knew I was going to go about 13, at least 10 and possibly 15. Once I got 6 miles out I knew I was now leaning toward 15. Once I knew I was in for 15 I started thinking 16 or 17. It was all over by then, If you're thinking 16 or 17 why not do a 20 and feel good about yourself? So I did. 2nd 20 miler so far in this training cycle. I plan on doing more 20's than I ever have before for this years spring marathon. |

| | 6 miles out and back from home. very tired today, no watch, put the Crocs on for the first time in a month or so. Felt good but it puts a lot of stress on my achilles tendon. I think I need to stay away from the Crocs a while longer. |

| | 4.65 am and 4.65 pm miles. Very tired, no energy for extra miles. I wonder if it's the cold, bad air. I really don't feel well at all. I can't believe I'm going to race a 5K Saturday. |

| | 4.65 miles, much better prepared for this mornings run. Trail shoes with ice spikes. A break in the inversion today, there is hope. The air and lack of sun has negatively affected me. Running for a few weeks in this inversion has been very much unpleasant. 5k tomorrow morning, I'm actually a little excited. |

Salt Lake City Track Club 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:20:39 | | Oh boy, bad performance. Turn back the clock, I'm back to 2009. Every year I've gotten faster in this race, last year was 20:00. I don't know what to think of this, I wish I had an excuse, like illness or injury. Can't claim either. I knew there has been nothing in my training to make me think I would PR but I was still thinking I might have a shot to be pretty close to 20. I thought what I had been doing up to this point was enough to maintain my fitness. Wrong. My strategy today was to go out at a 19:59 pace and hang on for dear life. First mile was right on target, 6:26. The first mile felt pretty good, I like how the race was going and at the beginning of the 2nd mile I started to struggle but I didn't realize I had slowed down, a lot. I finished out the 2nd mile at 6:40. I knew I was not going to make up the time during the last mile, no way I'm running a low 6 minute mile. Quite the opposite actually, 6:54. Too bad the race didn't stop here, I was 19:59.79. 41 seconds for the last 10th of a mile. I'm motivated to correct this performance. Looking forward to hitting the road tomorrow and working towards earning a PR at the Salt Lake Marathon. Anger is good! |
