Met Scott and Toni at 7am for a chilly run. Last 5 were in the SUN! Felt good but the IT band flared up a little bit the last 3. (7:08 avg)

The AM crew were all out of commission this morning. I thought I'd head to the oval but when I woke up and saw 28 degrees with little wind I decided there was really no excuse not to get outside. 

Headed down to the Lehi tempo loop (3.5 miles). 4 x 1 mile repeats with 0.25 rest.

5:20, 5:24, 5:10, 5:14

First one was progressive to ease into a faster pace. 2nd one was into a strong head wind and by effort was the most difficult. 3 and 4 felt solid. 4 had some more head wind. I'm happy with the workout. I've made progress, slowly but surely. 

4.5 miles back home. 

 

PM: 5 easy on the treadmill. AIF, Foam roller and weights.

Didn't feel like running in the wind so I headed to the gym at lunch.

2 miles warm up. 8 miles at something between AT and LT. First mile in 6:00, 2-6 at 5:39,  7 at 5:30, 8 at 5:39.

Jumped the gun a little with 2 miles to go, started accumulating lactic acid so I backed it off for the last mile.

 The first 3 felt too hard but then I settled into my pace and it felt pretty easy the rest of the way.

Met Toni, Scott, and Matt for a pleasant run in the snow around Alpine. 25 degrees, lightly falling snow and a fun group made for a great run.

Skipped the winter series 10k due to the blizzard. Looks like I made the right choice.

Met Matt and Scott for 20. Matt was with us for the first 10. At 12 Scott and I stopped and stretched and started the tempo portion. As we started I could see the black wall of the storm front closing on us fast. After 1/2 mile we had high headwinds. After 3 miles we had higher headwinds and snow/ice blowing in our faces. Good fun. Scott and I alternated the lead/draft about every quarter mile, it helped but the effort was still tough.

We averaged 6:00 for 5 and then took it easy the last 3 (although Scott wanted to charge the MOTHER! I made 3/4 of the way with him before I had to give out.

Happy to get it in but it was a tough last 7 miles.
