5 damn cold miles this morning with the bbk group. Talked Scotts ear off. Barely made it there in time to rush out and catch them about a half mile down the street. Good thing for my mad tracking skills.

I missed yesterdays run and I feel just horrible about it. I went down this morning to 98th park trail and did a 3 mile warmup with Dean and his wife and Nancy. Then the others showed up and we started out next to the river and it was so cold I couldn't take it so I sped up and made a loop up to 10th west and around. I did it in 19 minutes so I must have been in the high 6 range. It was about 10 degrees. Felt like 1.

I saddled up the shoes this morning and was going to run to the gym and do a spin class but opened up the door and changed my mind. I drove to Marvs and did the treadmill. I started at 6 miles an hour then raised it a half a mile per hour every .25 mile till I hit 11 miles an hour. I love making that motor scream. I did an hour spin class after.

I went from my house up to Daybreak 1.6 miles to Danielles house and ran 8 miles with her around Daybreak lake. Im not going to glamourize the truth, it was cold. I actually pulled out the tights and wore my wind breaker bottoms. I had 4 layers on top. I was warm enough to work up a sweat. After the 8 with Danielle, I ran the rest at a tempo pace. It was the same course as the Temple to Temple run that I felt so good running a few short months ago. I could only get my tempo to a 6:15 pace. It hurt to much. I am going to gear up starting right, NOW!  Oh, I couldnt resist! I always get the warm fuzzies when I think of Lake Powell. I was trying to help warm me up. Only 6 more months of boat and insurance payments while it sits in my garage! Love it!

Went to Dimple Dell gym and swam 20 laps or 40 lengths. I saw a few friends I havnt seen in a year that are triathleyes. I think I struck a bit of fear from the look in their eyes when I told them I was back. Haha. I ran on the treadmill after that 3 miles starting at an 8.30 pace and got to a 6 pace making my average of 6:30 per mile. I had to leave for work or I would've stayed. All day!

I ran 5 at lunch time with Dulce. Very cold up there. Its good we didn't go up the canyon.

I woke up to a sore throat and congestion. I decided to run anyway. I left my house at 6 am and  ran up to Daybreak and picked up Danielle. I ran 8 miles with her and it was fairly warm compared to other days. I had to deal with snow drifts and a fresh coat of snow that fell last night. I felt like poo and I just wanted this run to end. I was spitting a lot and my lips are super dry so I need to suck down some serious fluids today. I made a total of 11 miles and it hurt but im sure I wont die from it. At least thats what my High School coach told me a few years ago.  I am off to get a haircut from Emily who runs with the BBK group. (insert advertisement) actually she is the best! Both Misty and I love her. My kids reminded me that my hair was getting a bit out of control. I believe the phrase was the 80's called and wanted their pre mullet hairdo back!~

I partied like a rockstar last night till 1:30 am 45 miles from my house and the fog was thick so it took me forever to get home. I set my alarm on my phone for 5:45 and thought after I fell asleep someone was calling me. Nope it was my alarm. If it werent for accountability from meeting Danielle, I wouldve called it a wash. I ran up to daybreak in 10 degree weather. Im guessing but it was cold. Not much wind at 6 so thats a plus. I picked Danielle up and ran 7 with her around Daybreak in the newly developed part and checked out the new houses and things going on. Then back home. Made 10.25 miles. I felt ok after blowing my nose and it feels like my sickness is finally leaving my body! Now I can concentrate on getting serious again. Time to shop my last day and be ready for the next week. :)

I set out into the brisk morning air to run with my brand new Garmin 310 watch that Santa brought me for Christmas.  There was a wind blowing from the south and a bit brisk when I faced south. I made it to mile 4 and saw another runner coming the opposite direction and he was getting attacked by a miniature Pincher dog. That dog was ruthless! It wouldnt leave him alone until he saw me running up to him to help him and it came for me and I ran straight at it and did a false charge as far as I could and luckily it turned and ran away. I then kept running and it turned back on me. I reached down and grabbed a hard clump of snow and ran at it and threw the snowball at it and barely missed it but it got the hint that I meant business so it left me alone. I ran a 7:09 minute pace for 10 miles and my total time was 1:11. I really like this new watch. It vibrates every mile and i can feel it unlike the beeps from my last watch. I could never hear it. 

I went up to the gate at Millcreek Canyon with the family and we snow shoe'd  up  2 miles and back 2. It was fun and holy crap there were a ton of people out there. The parking lot was packed and I admit watching those skate skiers and cross country skiers looked fun.

Went to the Olympic Oval and did an indoor speed workout. I warmed up 1.5 miles and then did 12x400 with a 1 minute rest. Very hard after my 8th. I struggled but was able to average a 1:17. my first couple were at 1:10 and my last couple were hitting 1:19 so ive got to work on sticking a good average. My legs felt ok, my lungs were suffering from lack of a good workout. It hurt.
