Been a while. But been running everyday and cross training for a combined time of 75 minutes. Been doing core and pushups everyday and leg lifts 2 times a week and upper body once a week. Met Denver and Riley this morning for 5.1 at 7:20 pace and then 20 minutes of cardio. Core for 12 minutes, hips and then lifting. Done 6 lbs since beginning of November. Gaining back a lot of muscle too.

Ran with Denver and Riley on base. Easy run that turned into getting a Strava record up a hill. Averaged 7:12 pace and sub 7 for the majority of the run. Abs, hips and pushups after the run.

On a side note finally set up my Garmin Connect account today.

Met Riley at the WalMart in West Ogden. Plan was to run out west to avoid some of the snow. We got 2.5 miles in and were forced to turn around because a train had gotten stuck on the tracks because of the weather and was blocking the road. This led us to loop around to get to 7 miles. 7:26 pace which isn't bad with all the snow and ice.

Did a Treadmill Progression run with Riley and Denver at the gym because well I may like the cold but I am not a masochist. 5 degrees and 40 MPH winds is a whole bag of nope as my fiancee would put it. Had to stop midway through the first mile to use the bathroom so the first 1.71 miles were at 7:36 pace. I then went 7:01, 6:44, 6:25, 6:08, 5:54, and 1:39 for the last .29 which is 5:40 pace. Did the whole 7 miles in 46:51 running time 6:41 average mile.

Did abs, hips, pushups and lower body lifting afterwards.
