| It was a beautiful 50 degree, no wind morning for a long run. I ran the first 13 with Blake at a low HR around 135, then I did 5 mp pace miles (6:50, 7:00, 7:00, 6:51, 6:51) then 3 more nice and slow for a total of 21 miles. It was good mental therapy getting to run so long with Blake this morning and then I felt pretty good doing my mp miles today.

| I had a teeth cleaning appointment this morning so I had less time to run. I kept it to the roads and only did 8 miles at HR under 140. I was moving fast this morning at that low HR and when I finished my Garmin said it detected a new VO2 Max of 54. Not sure how it calculates it, but once again it is an improvement, so I'm happy with that.

| A new guy named Justin who is training for the Zion 100 ran with Blake and I this morning. He was nice company. Too bad he will only live here a couple more months.
The first 10 miles we all ran together nice and easy then I took off ahead doing 6 mp miles (Avg. pace 6:51) and then ran back to them and and finished our long run together which for me ended up bening just under 22 miles. It was a really nice run. That last mile of the 6 mp miles was really tough though. I don't think I could have gone a step farther at that pace.

| I ran on the trails the with Justin the last 13 miles of his 30 mile run this morning. It was a bit warm this morning. I'm impressed with how well he did with back to back long runs.

| 13 easy miles on the roads keeping HR under 140.
It is crazy how much faster I am on the roads at a low HR than I am on the trails. I had a few downhill miles right at 7 minutes and my HR was staying around 136 to 137. It was gorgeous out this morning...low 60s no wind.

| Long run today with Blake. First 10 miles nice and easy, then I took off for 6 mp miles. I averaged right at 6:50 for those 6 miles. Then I ran back to Blake and we finished easy together. Totalled 21 miles.
The 6 faster miles felt a bit easier this week than they did last week even though my legs were more tired this week from the high mileage.

Legs were still feeling tired today, but tomorrow will be my last run day until next Monday since we will be skiing Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I think my legs will be happy to have the break.

| I woke up early so I decided to go on a long trail adventure run this morning. 20 miles nice and slow.
That puts me at 127 miles over the last 10 days which included a rest day on Sunday. The next few days of skiing and no running should be nice recovery. I need it.

| It snowed all night last night and most of the day today so I spent the day skiing some serious powder. By the end of the day my quads were on fire. | | Add Comment |

| What a difference a day makes. It was sunny and warm but there was still some nice powder from last night. My legs are crazy tired. One more ski day tomorrow.

| Another fun day of skiing. The morning was nice and then we had another big storm in the afternoon making visibility very limited but we still had fun and skied hard.

| It felt good to be running again. My legs felt strong but the last few miles of my easy 12 mile trail run my shoulders ached pretty good. I guess all the pushing with the poles while skiing was my weakness.

| After a half mile warm up I started mp miles. I only made 6 before I was exhausted. It was really windy which didn't help, but I think the skiing trip took way more out of me than I anticipated. I finished up with 4.5 more easy miles for a total of 11.

| My wife was sick yesterday so I had to get the kids to school. I therefore did not get a run in. Today, Blake and I did 20 easy miles. It was our last long run before Boston.
