With the heavy wet snow this morning, I wasn't sure who would make it out, but I headed over to find out. I didn't see anyone. The Lindon route I was planning to run took me back past my house. An unexpected cold wind prompted me to stop for ear covering. Kevin drove up just as I got to my house. With the slushy, slippery roads, dropping off at the high school took him longer than planned. He headed home to get his dog and I got my muffs then went back to his house to meet him. We ran the same 4 mile shortened Lindon loop Wayne and I ran yesterday. It was a little messy, but wasn't too bad. Because of the running back and forth I did before the run I ended up will a little more the 4 miles. Average pace was 9:13/mi, not really speedy, but about 0:30/mi faster than yesterday, 1:20/mi faster than Monday, and nearly 2:00/mi faster than some runs I've done this winter. Three 4 mile runs in a row doesn't sound like much, but I'm encouraged. It's not the speed or distance but the direction of my training I'm encouraged about. |
