Fly me to the moon...

I slept in this morning and ran a little later.  I was up too late last night and needed the extra rest.  I decided to go the other direction this time as well.  I thought maybe it would be clearer of snow and ice.  It was worse than the usual direction.  After the fire station at Exchange park, there was a lot of snow and ice.  I ended up going faster than usual though.  I pushed the pace a bit on the dry spots and slowed down considerably for the icy spots.  I think the warmer temps made the traction worse along with a Provo city worker putting down salt.  It melted it enough to make it even slicker.  My total time for 6 was 46:55 (7:49/mile).

Ran the usual 3 with the group and then turned around.  Finished 6 in 47:36 (7:56/mile).  The legs have felt tired recently with a few little aches and pains.  I plan to keep going about 6 a day this week and the next and go from there.

Ran the usual with the usual suspects at the same time.  My total time for the 6 was 46:09 (7:41/mile).  My left ankle has been a bit stiff lately.  Last Friday I ran across a piece of ice on the trail and bent my foot up too far.  The ankle has been a bit stiff ever since.  Once it warms up it is okay though.

We had the usual group this morning plus Chauncy.  The whole group did 6 to start off with and then I think Sasha and Jeff ran some more.  I finished the 6 in 48:09 (8:01/mile).

Ran 4 with Sasha, Mary Ann and Jeff.  Then Mary Ann was done, and the guys headed out for more.  I ran another mile with them and then turned around for a total of 6 in 48:20 (8:03/mile).

I debated on whether to do 4 or 6 when I left.  My legs were a little sore and tight, but they warmed up after a few miles.  I ended up doing the 6 in 45:47 (7:37/mile).  It didn't feel that fast.  I tend to go a bit faster on days when I am by myself and when I run in the afternoon.
