10 miles down 1300 East, Horse Park, up 4500 South, Murray Holladay, Walker Lane and home. It was a nice day but I was so unmotivated to run. It took all I had to get out the door. 7:05 AP.

It was a gorgeous day! Perfect weather, blue sky, slight breeze, 50 degrees. I decided to hit the track since it's been a while since I've run anything under 6:20 pace. 

5x800-2:48, 2:48, 2:47, 2:46, 2:44 (400 meter recovery jog)
2x400-78, 77 (1 minute rest)

The workout wasn't too hard. I wasn't dying at the end but I didn't want to be. I wanted something relatively easy because it's been over a month and a half since I've run fast. I'm happy with it. 3 mile warm up and cool down.

16.5 miles with Emily and Devra. It was great running with the girls again. But man, the pace was a little bit faster than I was ready for. 6:58 AP. I mooned Emily when she came out of the bathroom on the parkway. It was a great day :)

10 miles with a 5K tempo thrown in the mix. 18:55...Not too shabby. I wasn't dying by the end which is good. But man, it was COLD. 

Double gloved it.

Today I wanted to run each mile faster than the one before. I wanted to give a decent effort. But it was only 20 degrees and I didn't want to pull a muscle (my hamstring is still sensitive). For the most part, I accomplished my goal except for the last couple miles. 

7:35, 7:14, 7:08, 7:05, 7:10 (steep hill), 6:35, 6:20, 6:16, 6:24, 6:40, 6:28 (last .4 miles)

6:49 AP.

Ugh. The weather today was nasty. Snow, windy and cold. I ran 6 miles on the dreadmil and 8 outside. I was frozen. I hate running days like today.

9 turkey day miles around Wheeler Farm. It's funny watching all the "older" guys playing football. Someone always pulls a hammy. 7:10 AP
