11.5 miles. Mile repeats at the Olympic Oval with Mike. I had a rare later start at work today, so this was a good opportunity to head to the indoor track. Similar warm-up and warm-down distances. Did 3 x 1 mile repeats with ~ 500m jog between intervals. Splits: 5:01, 5:01, 5:02. Felt good. Mike nailed me on the last one. I thought about going with him, but I had been having hamstring warning signs, so I decided to be cautious.

11 miles on the Murdock from my home with Mike and Brandon. Last minute decision to do this run (didn't know how the weather would be). Brandon is up north for a few days, so he texted me very early and we met up. 3.5 mile warm-up, 1.5 mile warm-down. 6 mile tempo. Splits are all over the place due to slowing down for patches of ice, significant hills, etc. But, the effort felt right (so I logged them as marathon-pace miles). Splits:  5:56, 5:38, 5:38, 5:48, 6:08, 5:28.

12 easy, snowy, slick miles along the Jordan River Trail with Zak, Reed, and Mike. I took a hard fall on snow-covered ice at about 3 miles into the run. Hit my back and head hard, and also my elbows. Not fun. Was light-headed for awhile, but my head seems Ok. Just back pain and a swollen elbow. Oh well -- it's my own fault; should have been more careful.
