AM - Wimped out. Too icy. 

PM - Should have wimped out. Too windy.

8x400m on an icy, slightly hilly, asphalt track near my house. Averaged 77. Winds were manageable for the first 4, last 4 were awful.

Easy run up Provo canyon with Reed, Spencer, Matt and Toni.

10 degrees. Likely below zero with the wind chill. Maybe one of the coldest runs I've ever done.

Spencer's beard was iced over at the end. Good times!

Easy run with Matt, Dan, and Toni.

Funny thing happened. We were on the Murdock trail at about 5 miles when Matt shined his head lamp up ahead. A woman was there. When she saw us she let out a loud, long, shrill scream. You would have thought Matt was wearing a hockey mask, wielding a machete at full charge. She looked really embarrassed as we ran past. 

 Chilly but not too bad.

I was having IT band trouble yesterday so I decided to go it alone today. Besides, a run with just Matt and Fritz is likely to be 20 miles @ my VO2 max...

I ran the first 4 easy. Then stopped and walked around a bit. The idea was if my IT band locked up I'd jog home and call it a day. It felt fine so I decided to keep going.

Ran another 4 up into Alpine. IT band was feeling great so I decided to throw in some faster stuff. 
Splits: 5:44, 5:36, 5:36, 5:34, 5:41, 0:56 (.2m). Avg: 5:37. 

Felt strong. I wanted to do 6 but decided to stop after feeling a slight tweak in my calf. 

Finished off with 2 easy miles. Avg for the run was 6:32. My IT band is a little sore now (of course).
