| Decided to do a 10K run today and push it. Ended up running a 8:19 pace. Not great, but not terrible either. More speedwork is the answer | | Add Comment |

| So I thought I'd run up Farmington Canyon today. Weather was decent, I knew the road would be clear and I needed a good long uphill run. When I got to the parking area in the canyon I noticed the wind was picking up and coming straight down the canyon. I ended up making it about 1.25 miles up the canyon before the wind literally stopped me. I was trying to run uphill into a 30mph headwind. i couldn't do it so I headed back down. I ended up on the Legacy Parkway on a flat paved trail with no wind at all. Kind of boring but I got the run done. Guess I'll have to wait for a better weather day before going up the canyon again. | | Comments(1) |

Did the t'mill thing. Went 3.5 at 10:00 pace and 7% grade. Bumped up to 7:30 pace for the last .5 miles. Managed to get my HR up to 168, highest it's been in awhile. | | Add Comment |

| Had another training run for the race today. 8 intrepid souls showed up and we ran out on the island down the road to the ranch. Running on the trail would have been way too much effort given that there was about 8" of untracked snow. It snowed about 2-3" while we were running. Good times. | | Comments(1) |

Well, I did the run, train, run thing to work this morning. My wife told me to suck it up, grow a pair and run to work. I should make her go out with me. I should have embraced my inner weenie and done the car, train, bus thing followed by a treadmill after work. I was soaked by the time I got to work. It was snowing hard when I left the house, that turned to a light rain as I got to the train station, then as I ran to work from the station, I was pelted by sleet. All of this with a south wind, and wouldn't you know, I was running south most of the time. Yuck. I survived but I get the pleasure of doing it again this afternoon. The things we do to keep our slim, trim girlish figures.
Ah yes, the run home, the weather was better but the roads weren't. I think I should be able to carry a large caliber handgun and be able to take potshots at anyone who intentionally aims to splash me with slush. I couldn't run on the sidewalks because of the snow and running on the shoulder was not an option either. I ended up running right at the edge of the plowed roads. Thank goodness most of my run is on backroads and not on major streets. By the time I got home I couldn't feel my feet because they were wet and cold from stepping into puddles of slushy water. It was painful warming them up. | | Comments(4) |

| What a glorious day to be outside. Sunny, mid 40's, no breeze. Very pleasant indeed. The only downside is the snow still on sidewalks in places. That'll go away soon enough. Made a tempo run out of today's jaunt. Felt pretty good. I really need to bump the miles up, but it's hard this time of year with the bad weather and me not liking cold weather running. | | Add Comment |

| Easy slow run today. It took me a couple miles before I could get into a decent stride. Just didn't quite feel right. Actually ran on the roads. Really kinda boring, oh well, sometimes boring is good. | | Add Comment |

Ran to work this morning. Noticed that spring is right around the corner. The air smelled different and I heard a bird that I only hear during the spring and summer. Not sure what it was.
The run home was great. I felt good, it was semi-warm until the sun went down. Very nice. | | Add Comment |
