| Ran to Orem city center and back with Larry. It was good to see him out on a Monday morning. |

| I ran the 2000 N hill route with Larry and Wayne. Some bikers were slowly gaining on us as we headed up the steep hill. I jokingly asked if they had room for one more. One of them said they were our pacers, and that we needed to speed up...so I did and pushed quickly to the top. The lead biker stayed with me, but I pulled away from the others. I'm beginning to feel the positive affects of a few consistent weeks of increased mileage. I was a little scared after this run...because I felt so good during it! I always get scared when things seem to be going well...wondering what new adversity is wait just around the corner. I'm trying to do better at enjoying the good times while they are still good, and not worry so much, so I'm just going to enjoy the nicer weather and healthy body while they last.

| Larry and I wandered the hills of north Orem and Lindon, focusing more on the conversation than the running. It was good to see Larry meet his goal of getting out both Monday and Wednesday this week (in addition to his normal T, Th, Sat). |

| Larry and I looped through Lindon and cut it a little short this morning. The lawns were covered with a thin layer of new snow but the roads were clear and it wasn't too cold. |

| I ran the Orem library route solo this morning. It was a little cold, with a cold breeze. I was glad to have long pants, layers, ear muffs, and gloves. Despite the chill, I decided to push the pace a bit right from the start. My effort was pretty consistent for the entire 10K distance, somewhere between 10K pace effort and marathon pace effort, with the first warm up mile a little slower than the rest. I ended up averaging 8:01/mi. The average was 8:06 with less than a mile to go, and I tried to push and get it under 8:00, but didn't quite make it, even with a 6:30-ish pace the last 0.2 miles. I'm feeling positive about my running. I'd like to be running faster, but I'm grateful to be feeling healthy and running as well as I am.

| Larry, Wayne and I started out toward the canyon, but inspired by the cold wind we changed course and decided to run north on the canal road instead. It was firm on the way out, but was getting pretty muddy on the way back, and we could feel the weight of the mud sticking to our shoes. Wayne and I wanted to go about 12 miles, Larry a bit less because he had already put in more miles than normal this week. Wayne and I plotted to keep Larry talking until we had gone far enough that he would have to run at least a total of 10 miles just to get back home.It turns out he had noted the distance but kept going anyway. He ended up running 11 miles to finish off a good week of running. Wayne and I took the longer way home and went 12 miles. We were both tired but managed to push the last mile considerably faster than the previous eleven (which wasn't very fast). The last mile was 7:51, with the overall average 9:17/mi.
