I did about eight miles with Neal today. I'm not sure on the mileage, but it was around eight. It was very snowy and cold. The pace was slower today.

I did a workout with Neal today. He was doing 4 mile repeats, but I decided to only do three eight hundreds. I paced him on the second half of his mile. My first one was 2:23, and my second one was 2:23. It wasn't very hard. On the last one, he did an 800 as well. I was feeling good, so I pushed it and ran a 2:13. Neal was at 2:20. I cooled down 6 miles after.

9.15 miles at a 6:50 pace. It felt pretty easy. There wasn't much snow, but a lot of slush.

I did a tempo run with Neal. We did 1.5 out, stopped for 30 seconds, turned around, and 1.5 back. I was at 7:40 on the way out, and about 7:59 on the way back. I warmed up three miles and cooled down three miles. I ran with Neal on the way out, but I felt really sick so I waited for about a minute and Neal went back.

I ran by myself today. I did twelve miles on the provo river trail up to the canyon and back. I kept the pace easy until the last mile. My average pace was 6:52. It felt good.
