Run RF

Nice run with Fritz, Collin, John, and Nate.  Still very cold out, and ended up with icicles on my eyebrows by the end.  Couple miles around 6:30 thrown in there.

Fieldhouse run (I think there's going to be a lot of these this week, with 6 striders at the end to mix it up.  

Sabres won yesterday, and play again tonight. I love hockey!  Also saw a fellow Buffalo fan at the fieldhouse.

Planning on a Oval workout tomorrow morning should anyone be interested in joining.

Tried to go to the Oval for a workout, but it was closed for Speedskating all week.  If only the website had highlighted that fact before I drove out to Kearns.  I guess I'll go the Utah Fieldhouse later today. 

Yesterday on my run I watched a news truck drive by and thought to myself "it would be cool if they stopped and interviewed me about running during the inversion." Then I saw the truck pull over and the camera guy set up, the reporter asked me to stop and I talked about running outside during this muck.  Then I left and the camera guy ran behind me to get a nice shot of me running away.

Well I headed down to the fieldhouse to knock out an 8 mile tempo, did 2.5 up with the jog to the FH and another mile on the track. Did a set of plyos then jumped into it.  Definitely not easy, but by the end of the 8th mile felt like I could have made it another mile if needed.  First mile was 5:53, then steady to slightly faster where the last two miles were at 5:45 pace (didn't get exact splits).  For a total of 46:27, felt good about the workout especially in the tight confines of the indoor track and a bit of a cough from all the crap in the air.

Another fieldhouse run, getting very antsy about the storm rolling in tonight.  Hopefully it clears out some of the stuff, and will warm us up a little.  Was considering a double, but after slogging through 8 miles (62 minutes vs. 46:30 yesterday) makes me reconsider especially with all the garbage out there.  I'm starting to develop a cough that I think is inversion related, ugh.

Yesterday was a day off, due to an Ice storm, poor air quality, inversion cough, and hurt knee.  Felt better today so after letting thing thawed out put in some miles at the fieldhouse.  Race tomorrow.

Was looking forward to this race before my cough came back in full force.  But I was going to get out and run anyway.  Warmed up with Fritz then got ready to race.  Felt crappy the whole race, and struggled to breathe well, still managed a 5:05 then 5:25 and a 5:30 and finished 5th overall, 15 seconds off my best time at the winter series so it's a good start.  Cooled down another 4.5 with Adam and Fritz.
