To and from gym, did 280 one legged dead lifts. Yikes. I think he wants to kill me. At least we only used the 50.

I wanted to do mile intervals but my back and hammies were way too sore so I started with an EZ run on the TM. After 2 miles I was feeling better so I stepped it up to 10, then after 3 I went to 11, then 12.1, then 12.8 to finish the fourth mile. A little intensity, but all I could handle after yesterday's workout.

Hill interval workout from the valley to the top of the Y. I wanted to do a TM interval workout this morning, but all the walkers were too chicken to do it outdoors. Gee I wonder why. Hammies are very sore from the monster lifting workouts this week.

House to gym, 1.8 on the TM, then to work, then back to gym, 1.8 on the TM, then back home. Nasty wind. But I got 14! 16 next week, it was too easy today.

2 on the TM to warm up for the workout, 2 to cool down, threw in .2 at 14 MPH just for fun

My upper body has no endurance, but I don't care :)

Not sure what happend here, maybe the calf workout got me. 11.8 mile, 12.1 mile, .55 at 12.5, .55 at 12.6, .3 at 12.8, .25 at 14.0 but I wanted the full 4x1. Hopefully it will all come roaring back after the new year once these strength sessions are over.

Felt really strong today, did the ordinary 2 up 2 down on the TM for the strength training. Did calf blasters today, about 400 reps and up to 300 pounds. Nasty. I'll try a progression run tomorrow. That should be rich.

Surprisingly there was no calf pain at all, I may have hit my strength ceiling there but Ow my back. Those cross body bar lifts seemed so easy but they had a stealth effect. Had a great progression run anyway, 9.1 to 11.9 with a 13.1 kicker and only had to drop back to 9.5 for one minute (27th)

Went 4.3 before the waffle run, then ran the Grandview loop with Carl, Brandon, Derek, and 3 others. They pushed me hard, especially up the hills, so it was good to be with them. Then Carl dragged me the last two that I needed. Crappy weather, but couldhave been colder I guess. Another nasty week behind me.

Still very sore from Wednesday, and still fighting off a cold that is almost dead. So taking it easy before the monster calf workout.

Very snowy, but I got a nice long run with the Kneaders party anyway.

OK, better and better! Got 11.8, 12.1, 12.5, 12.8 and I only had to drop back to 10.0 from .55 to .70 on the last mile. And I even had a little cough! So I bet once the strength workouts are all done I'll be able to go even faster.

Tried an easy long run to my parents house - don't know what happened but a lot of times when I would check my pace in the first 6 miles I would see a 5 handle. Even going up the state street hill I was well under 7. It is the first time I haven't done strength training for more than three days in about two months, but that was weird. Too much party Christmas Eve put the kaibosh on that and after I found an emergency pit stop around BYU I was able to finish the run at a more reasonable 7 flat or slightly faster pace.

Ride to gym and work, then back home, actually.

Awesomest workout of the month, did my TM progrssion from 9.1 to 11.9 and the thirtieth minute was 13.3, a new record! No slowdowns needed this time, in fact the whole thing felt really easy. I think operation Steve Austin is really working. Too bad there are only eight sessions left.

Ran up Maple canyon at T pace, then boomed it back down at fast/comfortable, about 5:45

Workout kind of rough, wbagged the cooldown after .5. I was going to do the other 1.5 in the evening but it didn't look fun :)

Woo Hoo! Got a pure 4x1 with no slowdowns, first time in a year! 11.8, 12.1, 12.5, 12.8. I was still bouncy on mile 3, this strength training is really working.
