Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

Went shoeshoeing for the first time. About 3 and a half miles on the pine hollow trail up AF canyon. It was pretty legit.

Half mile warmup on the legacy center track with Kaity. Then 8 miles on the treadmill. Felt horrible so it sucked but just kept grindin. 6:30 avg pace, climbed 900 feet.

Distance with hills, pushed it on the uphill. Went on the JRT the golf course way. Still having stomach problems from yesterday, 6:30 average 

Went to the ice oval with the fam. Ran on the 442m track for around an hour, 35 laps, 6:20 average pace. Threw in a fast lap every 10 laps. Those were 1:20 (4:50 pace), 1:15 (4:33 pace) and 1:12 (4:22 pace). Did 3 strides from the mile start then 20 min of biking to cool down. Felt a lot better than yesterday and Monday.

Swim workout with Brecken at night. Pretty fast and short so only 225m total.

Mile warmup to the bridge, saw Chris Watson, he's a legend. Did drills then 15 min easy. Fartlek was 6 min, 3 min, 6 min with half off in between. First 6 min was 5:20 pace, 3 min was 5:05 pace, second 6 min was 5:02 pace. Had a side stitch the first two pushes but I got it worked out for the last one. JRT was dry for the most part so that was great. Finished up to 8 after, 6:10 average pace for the run.

Dad dropped me off at Thousand Peaks. Ran a half mile and the snow wasn't packed enough so I turned around and went up toward the reservoir. Right foot started acting up around mile three so I stopped at 3.5, 7:23 avg pace. Walked a mile then finished the other 3.5, 6:40 avg pace.

Cold turned into a fever yesterday after my run. Took some children's aspirin and got some rest. Went pretty easy on the run, 6:55 average. Wore my sleeve, no foot pain. Did most of it on the road, saw a couple with their dog sled. Wanted to race them but they took a break.

Snowshoed a couple miles in the afternoon then hiked to the water tower and back for New Years.
