Early morning solo run in a blizzard! The one morning I get up to run early, it snows! We need the snow though, so I will take it.  Probably 2 inches of snow during the run and 18 degrees!  8:12 ave

Strated with Jaren, but we ran into the team and he went with them.  I ran the rest solo.  Day after leg day I always feel heavy.  Went 6 miles and averaged 7:24

Cold morning run by myself before Crew's baptism.  About 20 degrees outside.  I did't feel great and the legs were tired.  I did pick it up to a 6:01 last mile though.

2.2 mile warm up some with Tim, Evan, and Hunter, and then a bit more at 8:25 ave.  

Felt decent today, and it was much warmer, about 37 degrees.  The fact is I am not in that good of running shape yet.  Ran out and back very similar pace, but I think I negative split by around 4 seconds.  39:00.02, should have paid better attention and at least broke that 39:00.  Last mile was around 6:00.  

Cooled down for 3.2 after with the same crew and Chad Robinson at 7:55 ave.

Ran out to find the team and did a similar loop to the other day, but went down Shaggy and ended at Monarch where the team was instead of running home.  Added a bit to hit 5.5.  7:23 ave

 Lifted legs earlier

Met Tima nd Evan and Evan's borther Spencer for an easy 14 miler.  Ran over to Tim's and down through Day Break to the River Trail on 11400 S.  Had to add about 1.5 miles to get 14.  7:40 ave

Met Tim, Evan, and Spencer again at Butterfield.  This time we ran down by my house and down the Bluffdale route.  Planted some drinks at Bluffdale Park.  The snow was coming down the whole run and it was around 27-30 degrees.  Glad I wor a hat to keep it out of my eyes more.  The only bad part was going down 13400 S.. Evan slipped and fell on his back, arm, and head on the sidewalk by Monarch.  We had just been talking about getting off the slick sidewalk when he went down.  Banged his arm the worst, but got his head too, bummer!  That was Tim's whole fear in going out today.  The rest of the run was good.  I took off the last 2 miles and went 6:30 and 6:20 to stretch out the 7:45 ave a bit.  Glad to get this one done.  7:35 ave

It has been really cold, in fact it was single digits last night.  Been a bit tight and tired this week and I was not excited for this run.  However, it wasn't too bad.  I drove Hunter and Tim over.  We met Evan and warmed up for about 1.75 miles at 8:38 ave. .  It was about 15 degrres at the start, but I dressed about righhhh.  Went out at 6:30 pace and mainatined that through the first half.  I tried to pick it up a bit, but didn't start going faster until 2 to go.  Ended up running a 1:00.2 after a 30:30 first half, so I was happy with that.  Passed a couple people in the last couple of miles which is always nice.  6:25 ave for the run.  

Cooled down just over a mile with Hunter afterward.  8:15 ave
