Matt dragged me back to the Oval. We nearly had the track to ourselves, although during the first interval an old guy was concerned for his safety when he saw that we were running the wrong direction. Apparently they switch directions every other day. Doing mile repeats on a 442 meter track without markings is too hard a math problem for my brain at 5am, so going the "right" direction was our only option. 

4 up, 3 down.

3x1600m (5:01,5:01,4:55) with 1 lap jog in between.

Felt way better than Friday. Mostly because of the company, thanks Matt!

Cold, foggy, sooty, easy run with Zak, Karl, Reed and Matt around Thanksgiving Point. This morning's run was equivelant to around a 1/4 pack of cigarettes.

Tempo run with Matt and Brandon. 3.5 up, 1.5 down. 

6 miles on murdock trail, hilly portion, with ice everywhere. It was a minor disaster. Pace was wildley eratic. Effort was ok though. Splits: 5:56, 5:38, 5:38, 5:48, 6:08, 5:28

Not thrilled with the workout but given the conditions it was all we could manage.

Easy miles on the murdock trail with Copper. The trail was completely iced over. Much of the time it was covered with a crunchy frozen rain which had surprisingly good traction. Some was fluffy powder over black ice. It was entertaining to watch the dog slipping all overhimself. Very pleasant, peaceful morning.

Snowy, slippery, warm run with Matt, Zak, and Reed on the Jordan river trail. Most of the time we had a nice cushion to run on but every once and a while we would hit a stretch of black ice. Unfortunately Matt hit a bug one at the bottom of a hill, feet went straight up in the air and he landed hard on his back and head. Of course, after a quick breather and a few unsteady steps Matt insisted we finish the run.

Other than that it was quite pleasant.
