Today started with me bundling up for a bike ride over to Highland High School where I met up with Fritz, Kevin, Collin, and Nate for an 11-mile run around Millcreek and Holladay. I've never have done a training run in a group where everyone was just so much faster than me. I was good through four miles, but the last seven miles was a really good workout for me. Overall we averaged a sub-7:00 pace with the following splits: 7:37, 7:03, 6:57, 6:42, 6:42, 6:38, 6:54, 6:42, 6:36, 6:45, and 6:52. This training run was really a great run for me because I have been getting in the miles (77.4 miles this week), but not the tempo or speed workouts. I look forward to training with Fritz and the gang again even if I only hang with them for part of the run.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! For this holiday, I spent the morning volunteering at the Utah Food Bank before heading off to work for a half day. After work, I hit the treadmill for 3.8 miles then headed off to the IMC in Murray to run stairs. I was able to complete 6 climbs to the top of the IMC along with some jogging to and from the Trax stations and bus stops. I was able to get in another 3.6 miles for a total of 7.2 miles.

I had an American Lung Association meeting today, thus another half day at work. As a result, in the morning I ran up to OfficeMax at the Brickyard and back for a total of 3.8 miles at an easy pace. Then after work I hit the treadmill before jogging over to the airport for a total distance of 4.9 miles which was also at an easy pace.

Today mainly a tempo run day on the treadmill. I started out by doing a 3.8-mile warm-up. Then I stretched out before hopping back on the treadmill and really pushing it for an hour. I just kept increasing the pace and finished off the last 30 seconds at a 5:00 minute-per-mile pace. I was able to get in 9.06 miles in an hour which is not too bad and I want to get this up to 10 miles in an hour. I'll get there. I finished off my running for the day with 1.54 miles at an easy pace.

Ran 6.2 miles today at an easy pace which was mostly on the treadmill but also one mile on the stairs at work with a 12lbs vest. I did 24 stair repeats in 19:06, not too bad. I'm ready for a long run with the Hometown Heroes tomorrow.

Due to the very icy conditions and the smog, our Hometown Heroes run was canceled in Draper this morning. As a result, I took advantage of the opportunity and slept in. :-) I made it a shorter run day than originally planned in order to catch up on my sleep. I ran a total of 6.4 miles at an easy pace which included jogging up to the Brickyard and back and several laps around the softball complex at Big Cottonwood Park.
