| It felt good to run today. The toe wasn't a problem at all. The ice under the bridges was difficult, but I didn't fall or anything. It was an easy 3 along the trail at 7:53/mile. | | Add Comment |

| About a half mile of running to and from the church for the basketball game. We lost again, but I played much better. Got some good running in going up and down the court. I'm not nearly as sore today as I was last time. | | Add Comment |

| Just three easy miles along the trail. It was nice and warm today. Pace was about 7:09/mile. I just got a fancy new watch so my half mile splits were approximately 3:40, 3:42, 3:39, 3:34, 3:26, 3:24. | | Add Comment |

| I've been really bad lately about getting out and running. I just haven't made the time. I'm going to change that next week. I would like to do the Rex Lee Run here in Provo in March, so I need to get some base in before then. | | Add Comment |

Cold morning run with Sasha, Ted, and James?? on the trail. I turned around at 2 miles and finished up with 4 at 30:19 for a pace of around 7:34/mile. The extra 0.25 was from running to Sasha's house.
I felt pretty good except for the last mile or so. I just run out of gas in the morning. | | Add Comment |

Easy, afternoon run along the trail. Three miles at 7:06/mile pace. It felt pretty good. I was pushing the pace a little bit, but I should slow down a little since I am only trying to build base. Splits were 3:42, 3:39, 3:35, 3:29, 3:26 and 3:25. | | Comments(3) |

| Evening run along the trail. Pace was about 7:09/mile. I felt pretty good. I pushed the pace a little for the first two miles and then slowed down for the next half. Splits 3:37, 3:32, 3:38, 3:28, 3:39, and 3:32. | | Add Comment |

| Just 2 miles along the trail because I have a basketball game tonight. I took it easier on the pace, and it felt good. The pace was around 7:26/mile with splits of 3:49, 3:50, 3:40, and 3:32. | | Add Comment |

| Wet, rainy, snowy 4 miles along the trail. I saw a big group of runners on the way back. They looked like a team of some kind. I tried to keep the pace relaxed and controlled for a total time of 29:12, which equates to a pace of 7:18/mile. I plan to go a little longer tomorrow. Legs feel fine and that pace feels comfortable enough. Splits were 3:47, 3:41, 3:37, 3:39, 3:43 (turnaround), 3:40, 3:40, and 3:25. I think the last half is a little short because the time is always faster with what feels like the same amount of effort. | | Add Comment |

| It was a beautiful day. It's always nice to run without a hat. There were a lot of people along the trail today taking advantage of the warmer weather. It was an easy 5 at about 7:16/mile pace for a time of 36:21. I felt pretty good. I was starting to tire out towards the end, but it still felt good. Splits were 3:50, 3:47, 3:40, 3:36, 3:34, 3:36, 3:35, 3:36, 3:36, and 3:28. | | Add Comment |

| Five easy miles along the trail. It was nice and sunny. Great weather for running. Time was 36:26 for about 7:17/mile pace. Mile splits were 7:19, 7:17, 7:15, 7:20, and 7:14. | | Add Comment |

| Four easy miles along the trail with 8x100m strides in the middle with 100m rest in between. I had to do it in the evening so it was dark. I don't like running on the trail in the dark. I'm always afraid I will twist an ankle or fall, especially going under the bridges. Pace was a little slower at 7:20/mile, but I attribute that to the dark. Splits were 7:27, 7:09 (a little fast), 7:19, and 7:26. I felt pretty good overall. | | Add Comment |

| It was a beautiful sunny day here in Provo. I started out with a long sleeve t-shirt over my short sleeve one, but took it off about halfway through. I felt really good for the 6 miles, and it is the longest I have run in a long time. The total time wa 44:20 for a pace of around 7:23/mile. I tried to slow it down for the first few and then just ran by feel. Splits were 3:48, 3:49, 3:45, 3:42, 3:39, 3:40, 3:46 (turn-around and taking off my shirt), 3:37, 3:38, 3:40, 3:42, and 3:30. | | Add Comment |
