I ran the Eagle View run today. The temperature was about 20 degrees. It was good to run up those hills again. I didn't have my Garmin, but I averaged about 8:24/mi overall for the 5 miles. I'll classify these as easy miles, but they weren't too easy.

| I was going to run outside again today, but my long pants were still wet from the Fitness Center laundry. Instead I watched Jackie Chan while I ran 5 miles on the treadmill. I ran most of it at about 7:30/mi, speeding up to 7:00/mi during the last half mile. I averaged 7:36/mi overall including the warmup. | | Add Comment |

| No running today, but had a basketball game at 10:00p.m. We only had 6 players to begin with (a 7th came at half time) so I got a pretty good workout. The team we played against looked more like (and at times played more like) a football team. Three of the guys looked to be 6'4"+ and 300+ lbs. While running a marathon you don't see too many big guys like that trying to hurt you (or hurting you without really trying, like when one of them stepped on my foot). Maybe that's part of why (being 5'7") my first love is running. | | Add Comment |

| I ran the Eagles View course again today in 39:48, an average of 7:58/mi, nearly half a minute per mile faster than my average of 8:24/mi for the same run on Monday. It was about 5 degrees warmer today (25 degrees instead of 20) and I ran in shorts instead of long pants. I think that accounted for the faster time.

| Kevin and I met at 9am to run. We weren't sure if Larry and Wayne were planning to run so we walked the few houses down to Larry's. He wasn't home. As we discussed where to run we decided to try the BYU indoor track. Bad choice. We drove all the way there only do find that they were hosting a high school invitational track meet. By the time we got back home it was nearly time for my son's basketball game so we skipped running.
At 9pm my wife had some things she needed to do so I took the opportunity to get a little running in. I decided to run the hill up 2000 North a couple of times. I warmed up by running up Main Street then up 2000 North to the intersection with the street just above Oak Canyon Jr. High. From here to the manhole cover where we normally turn around at the top of the hill is about 1 mile. The hill is pretty steep for about 0.75 miles then flattens out at the top. The first time up the hill I averaged 10:11/mi, and 7:22/mi back down. The next time up I averaged 10:15/mi, and 7:14/mi back down. On the 0.42 mile stretch back to Main Street and down to my neighborhood I averaged 6:39/mi.
It was a little scary running in the dark near the icy shoulders of the road when cars came by, but there weren't too many. I wouldn't make a habit of doing this run when I did, but I'll probably do it again when it is a little warmer and a little lighter.
While running I thought of my assigned legs in the Wasatch Back Relay this year (1, 13, 25). While running uphill I thought of the climb up Trapper's Loop, and while running downhill I thought of the quick run down Blacksmith Fork Canyon to start the relay. It gave me an idea for a loop run up 2000 N and down 1600 N. I'll have to try it out soon.
