AM:  8 easy miles on the treadmill at my home.

PM-1:  10 easy treadmill miles at the Lehi Legacy Center during my lunch break. For the first time since starting practice, I had an unexpected freeing up of my mid-day schedule. So I immediately seized the opportunity and decided to get a run in. I may never get this lunch-time opportunity again. The only problem with running during a lunch break is there's hardly any time for lunch. And I was starving! Fortunately I found something to wolf down before starting afternoon clinic. Boy, I'm getting sick of the treadmill, but it's definitely doing the job.

PM-2:  Hamstring and upper-body weights

Great job. Nasty weather out.

Way to stay consistent while playing it smart. You are the man Matt. I hope your hip flexor is on the mend.

Take care of that HF. Nice job getting it done. The TM can do wonders for reversing oncoming injuries. I think snow/ice are more detrimental since they alter your running form.

Mike: masochist is right. Not sure what I'm thinking. It's doing the job though.

Justin: Thanks bro. You are the treadmill king and always will be.

Melody: Great advice! I think you are dead on. Great running yourself this week.

Sometimes its good to have a week where you up the volume but drop the intensity a bit. It helps build that endurance base up.

Very nice work this week Matt!

Thanks Jake and Brandon. Great point Jake. I completely agree.
