AM:  Easy 10 mile loop from Scott's house with Reed, Toni, and Scott.

PM:  Easy 8 miles on treadmill at local rec center. Legs feel a lot better today than I thought they would given Saturday's tempo run. A good sign. Hamstring and upper-body weights.

AM:  10 mile loop through Highland and Alpine with Reed and Toni. Did 3 x 1 mile repeats at 5:08, 5:09, 5:09 with 0.3 jog in between intervals. Ran into a bit of a headwind for all intervals, and while most of it was fairly flat, there were some slight uphill elevation changes. I had hoped for closer to 5:00, but given the morning and the effort, this is the pace I felt best about. 4 mile warm up, 2 mile warm down. Feeling strong.

AM:  10 miles easy from Toni's home in Orem with Scott, Spencer, and Toni.  Temperature was in the low 30's -- amazing how that feels "balmy" compared to the cold we've had lately. Also, the inversion seems to have lifted and the air was clean and crisp this morning, which was wonderful.  And even though it was dark, the mountains were crystal clear. It is awesome having Scott back -- talk about a class act guy and a great friend. He'll be putting the hurt on a lot of people in 2013.

PM:  8 easy miles on the treadmill. Hamstring and upper body weights.

AM:  12 miles at the Olympic Oval in Kearns with Jake, Andrea, Scott, Mike, Toni, Collin, Kevin, and Kramer & his high school teammates. Was a lot of fun. Warmed-up and warmed-down 4 miles each. Then, did 20-minute tempo run. I have no idea the distance, but it was likely just under 4 miles. The others did mile repeats. Given my race next weekend, I decided to stick with my plan for tempo and not risk anything with faster repeats (since I haven't done fast stuff yet). It was sure tempting to go with them though. I started my first mile with them. I came through at 5:11, and I have no idea what the pace was after that. My guess is that I kept about 5:15 pace average for 20 minutes. There was a mass of humanity of joggers on the track, which required a lot of weaving around them. I made a lot of people mad and had a lot of people cussing at me as I yelled at them to move to the outer lanes. Also, there were barricades blocking off many of the lanes at several points around the track because of a multi-country speed skating competition going on. Not ideal conditions for tempo, but still fun and still a good workout. Everyone looked great. Jake ran effortlessly. And the story of the day is that Scott is back! He looked great and was back to his animal self!

PM:  Hamstring and upper body weights.
