| I was not a little surprised to see 50 on my thermometer this morning. I called time and temp to confirm and it said 49. I ran solo to the Orem library and back. I've been averaging 9:30/mi or
slower on most of these cold winter mornings. I averaged 8:30/mi this
morning, due mostly I think to the warmer temperature. I could get used to this warmer weather. |

| Easy pace Lindon loop with Larry and Wayne. The milder temperature made it even more enjoyable than normal.

| A solo run to the Orem library and back. Mild temperatures again. I ran the first four miles at an easy 9:00-ish pace. I decided to push mile 5 and ran it in 7:27. Even when I backed off back to an easy pace it was faster than I was running before, 8:20 instead of 9:00. I think of this phenomenon as shifting gears. Sometimes it isn't that much harder to run 30 to 60 seconds per mile faster, I just have to mentally shift into a higher gear. |

| I ran the 2000 N hill route with Larry and Wayne. This route is an oldie, and a toughie, but a goodie. I like having it back on the schedule...even though it makes for a slower average pace. |

| I ran solo to a little beyond Cascade golf course and back. It was colder this morning, with a cold wind from the northwest. I don't think spring is here quite yet. |

| Larry, Wayne, and I started by running the Lindon loop with Larry's wife Jolene. We then continued south to 1200 N and over to 800 E to get some more miles in. Larry cut off a little early; Wayne and I got in 10 miles. We need to start going longer soon to get ready for our May marathon, but it felt good to get in another 40 mile week.
