8 miles in the morning.
12 miles in the afternoon.
Another cold morning run. I had to pull out all the cold running gear again. Yikes! Looking forward to this weekend though. Hopefully it is good weather for my tempo run this afternoon.
The weather was almost to good to be true so I hurried home and went for my run. I was planning on 4 miles of tempo and wanted to keep the rest of the miles really easy. I went up towards North Ogden for my rolling hills route. I did the first 7 miles really easy, stopped and stretched really good and then got into my tempo miles. I hit 5:09, 5:08, 5:15, and 5:36. Yes, the last one is a little scary but it was all uphill with the wind blowing pretty hard into my face. Everything was going great in the run up until that point. Oh well! Everything can't be perfect. The effort was there though. I finished off with a nice and easy last mile to give me 12 miles for the run. It was a beautiful day for running. |
