14.0 snowy Sunday miles I woke up this morning expecting to be a bit tore up after yesterday but to my pleasant surprise my legs did not feel any different than any other 12 mile day... well maybe a little in the calves nothing substantial tho. 

Luckily I was lazy and took my time to get on the road it meant the diffe3rence between running in the rain earlier as opposed to the snow when I left I guess either way I was getting wet.There was some slush out and great puddles to keep my interest on the road rather than just zoning out sometimes that can be a good thing.

Took state to 39th then west to the Jordan River trail back south from there  winding around to Winchester. east to 7th west back north to 59th east to state then back to 61st wnt west on 61st to 3rd west so I could get a full 14.By then I had gained about 9 pounds from the water plus stepping in puddles with the crocks on doesn't do much for keeping water out blah even slid around in the mud on the section of trail that is torn up so a great adventure running today :) legs still not too bad  ran today's at an 8:15 ave pace weather and all

3.6 am miles On the 7th west loop with Joe. We took it easy his ankle was still bothering him from the other day. Would like to have put more mileage in but will jut be happy with what I get. Spent the rest of the day running up ladders and around roof tops, Then bowling tonight the first two games were decent then I was un focused think I needed more food ha ha. 

7.0 am miles on the 13th west loop had to get some hills in. Working on different routes to keep things from getting stale. So i put some new twists in my route and worked the hills in a different order getting them later into the run. Seemed to work out well a nice change of pace.

12.0 pm miles My favorite Winco Walmasrt loop tonight but sticking with the program from this morning running it a little different. then adding an extra mile on the end. Kind of did a progression run tonight starting out at a medium pace for the first 2 miles then stepping up some for the next 3 and a little faster for the later 4 then up just a bit more for the last 3. Finished feeling like worked hard but still could have done more. I think that is works better than completely running myself completely out.

11.4 am miles Yup the Winco Walmart loop was not planning on going very far this morning started out thinking I would get some nice easy miles in after yesterdays solid work out to let my muscles actively recover. The snow added to the fun I do like to run in this kind of weather :). Starting out was thinking more in the line of 7 or so good comfortable miles then took the turn from Winchester to 7th west going south towards Winco since I missed the westbound light. I knew then it was going to be a longer run but was feeling ok so I went with it.Was managing not to get too soggy so was pleased with that and it was more a spring snow not too cold out. I did feel a bit sluggish going up from the river bottoms to 13th west although it did not take too long to get back to normal, then again felt slower going up over the hump from 70th to 62nd. Once I got to the downhill side though it was smooth running the rest of the way. Finished in good shape at an 8:22 average pace. I could feel the culmination of 19 from yesterday and the 11 from today. Still not too thrashed some good work between the two days.

Went to dinner tonight so no pm miles I think I can deal with that though. I did manage to eat healthy :)

13.1 am miles Took off this morning not sure which direction I was headed. Got down by the Jordan Parkway trail and made a left and kept going. Everything just seemed to have a good flow I was not pushing but in a relaxed groove. Followed the trail south from Winchester to where it ended on 7th west,I continued to 90th then turned around and followed the trail back to 59th then east to state and back home. It was such a good feeling run and the weather does not get much better really enjoyed this one.

6.0 pm miles Ran the Winchester hospital loop  nice and slow just to unwind. Really was not planning on running again today but it just worked. Actually felt more refreshed afterward than when I left.

7.0 am miles once again perfect weather unlucky for me since I was over dressed...go figure. Ran 13th west to get some hills holding myself steady knowing I did not want to be too tired for the long run tomorrow. Should be another great group run and a good long 20 miler,really looking forward to it. Will prolly bypass running tonight, may walk a little if that.

Met a group at Julie C's this morning with about 25 or so people and went for a group run.Started out good maybe a little faster than planned but still was ok.A couple miles in the faster guys were pulling away so I settled back to the second group of 8 or so that were still going at a good pace somewhere in the 745 to 8 range with the hills and all. I could feel the mileage form the week but was still plugging along.Once we hit the 7 mile or so (had my garmin but wasnt looking at it) I had settled into a good rhythm. Had told Kelli I was going to slow down a bit so I wouldnt burn out but she was convinced I was about the same pace as I had been all along. We got to a park somewhere around the 12 mile mark I stopped for water with everyone and while they were using the restroom I continued on.I lost them from there.Truth is I got lost ha ha and instead of turning up into Cedar hills I continued south into American fork and kept going oops. Several stops to look at my map which I couldnt read the streets on any way I finally had an epiphany and turned my garmin to map mode and followed streets until finally getting back to Julies. Wasted too much time stop and go the last miles but I made it back with about the same mileage as everyone else. So total time 2:45 with an 8:12 average with 700 ft climb in there is not too bad. My blister from the first of the week when I got mud and dirt in my crocks on sundays 14 miler then  kept running didnt bother me too much until after we were done. Have to try and get it healed up before the 15k tho. Really pleased with how the week went I increased my mileage and got some longer runs in without feeling trashed :)
