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

PM:  Ease 5 miles on treadmill; hamstring and upper body weights.

* I was asked today if I would be interested in being the Springville High School Boys' Head Cross Country and distance Track Coach (maybe some of you were as well).  Although it sounds fun, there is no way I have time right now so I declined.  If any of you are interested, let me know and I'll put you in contact with the guy who contacted me.

Easy 10 mile out-and-back on Murdock Canal trail from my home with Scott, Reed, Toni, Spencer, Mike, and Dan. A couple inches of snow on the trail made for perfect running conditions. Saw 2 huge owls.

Another 4:30 am track workout. Start time for my surgeries is often 7:30 am (which was the case today), so I had to start early. Met at Lone Peak High School track with Mike, Reed, and Toni. Temperature was great. Wind was in full force though, which made for a tough workout. One of my favorite workouts from my previous running life is 3 x 1 mile repeats.  So I decided to do that today (with 800m easy running in between intervals). Warmed-up 4 miles then did the workout. Did 5:18, 5:10, 5:07. Had hoped to be faster, but given the wind, and also the snow on the track (which was not much), it was a good workout. The first one didn't feel that great. I progressively felt better. The 3rd felt excellent and I could have dipped under 5 minutes easily if I had wanted to, but the effort felt good and my killing the last interval was not the purpose of my workout today. I couldn't help remembering that back in my college days I would do three 4:35 miles with less rest (and that felt easier than today's workout). It's all relative and all about where your fitness currently is. I'm building, and I'm having fun.

AM:  Awesome run today. 20-mile slushy loop through the Holladay/Highland High/Wasatch Boulevard area. Ran with Fritz, Jake, Brandon, Mike, Kevin, and Collin. Definitely character building and satisfying to get a run in in these conditions. It actually wasn't that bad -- just wet. As is customary with these group long runs, the miles flew by, conversations were great, and the company was fantastic! Brandon tried to push our "fast" buttons, but we were wise and kept it easy (a good choice in these conditions).

Then went to Jake's and Andrea's place for a very impressive breakfast.  All kinds of home-made excellence! Very tasty and definitely hit the spot! Thanks Andrea, Allie, Aimee, and James. Much appreciated.

PM:  Hamstring and upper body weights.
