This morning I got to work super early, but this time I did 3 hours of work before heading down to the gym. My legs were really heavy and I just ground out 7.2 mile at an easy pace. I hope to get in a few miles tonight before my boxing class.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! This morning I woke up and bundled up in order to bike over to Highland High School to meet up with Jake, Andrea, Allie, and Nate for a group run. I was able to get in 10.3 miles at a comfortable pace. A solid finish to my 5th straight week of 75 miles or more. I've been trying to build a foundation to be able to get in 75 miles per week, but have not put in five weeks in a row until now. As a result, a little progress.

I jogged around (0.4 of a mile) outside on the way into the office and my lefty is sure tight and sore today. As a result, I played it safe today with my workout by doing 10.0 miles on the elliptical machine.

I woke up this morning and jogged 3.75 miles over to Sugar House Park to run 8.0 mlles with the Hometown Heroes. My legs were just heavy from all the stairs during the week and the box steps in boxing class last night. As a result, I kept it all at a slow pace especially the 3.95-mile jog back home. Calling it a day and going to rest up and work on planning out the Fight for Air Climb which is only two weeks away.

After a great night of sleep (it always pays to go to bed early), I woke up to a good 5 inches of snow in the driveway. I quickly shoveled out the driveway then hopped on my very old ten-speed and peddled over to Highland to meet up with Fritz, Jake, Nate, Kevin, and Rob for a group run. We ended up doing a 10.7-mile loop trough Mill Creek, Holladay, and back at a comfortable pace. Even though would had to slush through the snow at times, it was nice run and a great start to the day.

After a weekend of stair racing and a run with Fritz, Jake, and the gang, I took it was today and just jogged 2.2 miles on the treadmill before heading off to work.
