Track workout: 40 degrees/light rain

The track was a little slippery and I was under dressed (tank top and shorts...oops!). So I adjusted my workout and decided that I should aim for around 6 min pace. 2x1600, 4x800 (400 meter recovery jog)

5:57, 5:57, 2:56, 2:57, 2:56, 2:55

Given the conditions, it's not a horrible workout. My legs are STILL tired from Saturday's 20 miles. I forget that running up and then down Wasatch/Big Cottonwood Trail can really hammer your legs. Plus, I'm back to doing my physical therapy workouts so my legs are also sore from that. Wow, I have a lot of excuses don't I?

I'll be in sunny California next week so I'm going to use it as a recovery week. This week I'm hoping to get around 60 miles again.

8 miles with Tori and her friend Kate. We did our usual Holladay route. I've got to start watching my mouth...I shouldn't swear around people I've just met. 7:30 AP

20 miles with Emily. We ran along 1300 East to 1100 East and Garfield Ave (where the SL Marathon course splits with the half course). We followed the course for 7 miles through Sugar House, Sugar House Park, 2000 East into Holladay. Wow, there are some good climbs. This will be a challenging course for sure! But, I'll be ready for it. I actually like hills and I hope that I can run this part of the course a few more times before April so I can be confident with my mountain goat climbing abilities :)

I pushed the last few miles (6:40ish pace) and I felt pretty good. Next week will be a recovery week while I'm in Measleland (aka-Disneyland). 7:09 AP
