In The Long Run

No running, but did some hiking in Arches.  My first trip to Delicate Arch plus a few other short hikes, probably 5-6 miles total.  Had every intention of running after hiking, but fell asleep and did not wake up until it was time to meet others for dinner. Oops.  

Back to the grind after a great Moab trip.

Usual Liberty run.

Very late day at work.  Only had time for 5, but better than nothing.

Spin class.

I worked the finish line at the last two SLCTC Winter Series races, but for some reason I decided that today I would run.  I wanted to see exactly how (un)fit I was right now, so I could plot out my UVM training.  My husband and I had the very important job of picking up the coffee before the race so we got to Saltair around 8:30 when it was relatively nice out. Within 20 minutes it turned into a whiteout. I've lived in western PA, upstate NY, and WY and these were the worst conditions I have ever run a race in.  I scrapped my plans to run hard and just ran at a comfortable pace.  The first half was not too bad, but I could tell by the faces of the returning runners that the second half was going to be miserable. After the turn, I felt like I was being pelted in the face with glass splinters. It was awful. I think I ran a 15K PW (personal worst).
