I can do it. I will do it NINE times!

I didn't really feel like running in the snow today, so I braved the treadmill instead. It wasn't quite as bad as I'd expected, but that's not saying much. Started off just doing an easy run, but decided to do this week's tempo workout during it instead: 20 minutes at 3.5 pace during a 6-10 miler. So, after 4.5 miles at ~7:40/mi, I ran ~6:40/mi pace for the tempo and ~8:00/mi for the cooldown.  Not awful I guess, though I think that the treadmill isn't good on my hamstring. Like I need more incentive to NOT run on the treadmill... ha! (K 57.8)

A bit chilly out on the run this afternoon, but tolerable I guess. Did another of my handy dandy 1-hour runs and had some fun running along the Bonneville trail for part of it. I realized that if you ignore how cold and wet and annoying snow is, it's actually really pretty in the sunshine. It's sparkly! Only one more final (tomorrow), then I'll be headed home to sunny St. George soon... yay! (K 65.3)

Got quite the runaround trying to get my run in tonight. First I went and ran on the Lundstrom's treadmill for 2.6 miles, but then they closed. Some RA told me to check if Merrill Hall (way across campus) was open since they have a exercise room. So I ran .7 miles there wearing only shorts and a t-shirt and it was 28 degrees! On the treadmill there, I did a silly "fitness test" that ended up stopping because my heart rate was too low for the "workout" I was doing. Good times. After that, I finally forced myself to do another half-hour of real running on it and got in 3.8 miles. Then I did another literal "cool down" run back to my dorm in the freezy cold. Yay adventures. Moral of the story is don't wait until 9:30 pm to start the run. And eat less candy. (K 73.6)

Warm-up then 8x400 at 1:22. First one was slow, then they were good. (I'll put up times later.) Then a cool-down. (M spike 5.4)

In the evening I went on a bit of a frustration run. It was cold, but good. (K 80.3)

Easy run with Jonny once I got back to St. George! Yay for not-quite-so-cold weather! Calves are kinda sore from yesterday. Eeew. (K 85.8)

Met up with the SG crew for a trail run around the Bear Claw and Stucki Springs trails. Ran the first half with Holt and Clyde, then I got feeling really thrashed and sick, so I slowed up and joined Logan and Steve. Note to self: next time Clyde picks the course, run by myself. Okay, it wasn't quite that bad, but close! (K 99.6)
