I did a mid-afternoon run today for 2 reasons.  It was warmer then, and I didn't have time to pack a lunch this morning.  I came home, ran, ate, and now I'm going to head back to class.  The workout was an easy 4 along the trail.  Pace was 7:20/mile.

I just finished 3 miles along the trail.  It was a nice day, and I felt great.  Pace was 7:23/mile.  I also did 4x100 m strides in the middle with 100 m rest in between.

It was my favorite 3 mile workout along the trail.  I started off around 7:30 pace and hit the 2 mile around 14:45.  Then I decided to push the pace a little more the last mile and ended up with 21:10 for the 3 miles for about 7:03/mile total.

Three miles along the trail this evening.  It was dark and cold.  Pace was around 7:30/mile.  Felt great.

It was a cold, rainy evening here in Provo, but I got a run in.  It wasn't too bad, and I've run in much worse.  I did the usual three miles along the trail at 7:26/mile.  Tomorrow I'm going to try a longer run of 5 miles.  I haven't had any problems with the ankle in over a week, so I think it's good to go.

First snow run of the season!  It has been awhile since I ran in the snow.  It reminded me of running on the dunes at Indiana Dunes State Park back in college.  I ran 5 miles along the trail.  The snow on the trees was beautiful.  All I needed was a camera.  Pace was around 7:50/mile.
