I woke up to snow this morning so I went down stairs on the treadmill, after running in the snow on Tuesday and straining my foot again I decided on snow days that I would run in doors, I just can't chance an injury! I did a mile warm up and then I ran 3 quarter mile pickups at a 8:30 pace and then 3 at 7:30 pace alternating with each pick up; explanation goes like this 1st quarter at 8:30 pace and then the 2nd at a 7:30 pace and then do a rest at 9:30 pace I ran 3 sets of these and then I cooled down for a mile. One of the quarter miles I did at an 5% incline simulating my route out to payson as if I ran it outside.

I then finished up with my upper body weight training on the BowFlex and some push-ups...

See ay tomorrow.

Clay, I agree with you on the conditions, some days, it is just not worth the risk of injury. Hill work on the treadmill is great. It seems you still have a good base to work from. I expect you to PR at the Provo Half this year.
