So went for a run in the snow and it was awesome. Picked up a random runner along the way and he hung with us the whole time. Might have another runner joining our posse soon. In the last mile the snow went from bad to "Well that escalated quickly" bad. Did just over 10 with the guys then headed home to take care of sick Fiancee and well I got stuck about a mile from home. So I ran home. I will dig it out once the snow stops or have AAA tow it back to the house. It is a white out up here.

400 METER REPEATS

Met Ken, Riley, Denver and Matt at the Smith's in South Ogden and headed out to the Tempo loop for some repeats. 3+ miles warm up with 3 strides. The goal was 74-73 pace for 12x400 with 90 seconds active rest. It went better than expected. Still hurt like crazy but it was fun to hurt like that again.
Splits were:

69.4, 70.1, 68.7, 70.9, 70.1, 69.5, 71.7, 71.4, 68.9, 67.7, 68.8, 66.2 Average 69.45 Rest Average 89.1

Feel really good right now looking forward to continuing to progress.
