Went to the Olympic Oval this morning. 

The idea was  to do a 5 mile progressive tempo run. It didn't work. It went something like this:

  • 3.3m warm up
  • 1.1m in 6:54 (6:15 pace)
  • 1.1m in 6:29 (5:53 pace)
  • 1.1m in 6:21 (5:45 pace)
  • Lay down on the track and cry. Really feeling Saturday's run. (1.1m in 9:54)
  • 1m in 5:15 (hmm, guess I should have kept going)
  • 1.3 cool down
Missed the early (freezing) group this morning. The Oval is a great facility; too bad it's clear out in Kearns.

Easy run with Scott, Matt, Reed, and Toni. Beautiful bright morning (even at 5am). 2 inches of snow on the trail made for a very comfortable run.

Felt good. Wanted to go a bit faster but with a windy backstretch and a little fatigue from Monday the legs decided the pace.

Easy run up the Provo river trail. Felt sluggish. I'll need another slow Friday run before Saturday's group run.

Slushy.

20 miles with a die hard group (Fritz, Jake, Matt, Brandon, Kevin and Colin) starting at the mouth of little cottonwood canyon. First mile was single file, cars sloshing by spraying our legs with slush. We then dropped down through some back roads and neighborhoods for a very pleasant 11 miles or so (a bout 6:50 pace). After a quick pit stop we started our climb back up to Wasatch Blvd. 3 or so miles of gradual up hill at a reasonably easy pace. Finished off with a few faster miles (a couple around 5:50). Felt good and wet. Highlight was certainly breakfast at Jake and Andrea's house...although Brandon kept trying to hug everyone, excuse being he was chilled.
