Nice morning and I definitely over-dressed. The weather is starting to show signs that it might get out of this cold pattern. Other than were suppose have a storm that's moving in sometime this week. I ran an uneventful 11.2 miles in an easy 7:08 pace in 1:20. I did my Satterfield hill loop to get more downhill and uphill training in. I took it way easy on the downhill, because I wanted nothing fast today, and I'm trying to take Sasha's advice and not destroy my nervous system every day leading up to the Ogden marathon I noticed that my heart rate felt like it was higher running up the hill this morning than it has in the past. I didn't sleep as well last night, and I drank a lot of caffeine yesterday so that could be the result of a higher heart rate. My knee is still bothering me so I'm not going to do a double run today, and just ice my knee and give it rest. At this point I can't really do any hard training that's going to benefit me for the Ogden Marathon. Besides I ran a marathon 9 days ago, and I just need to maintain my fitness.
