8 rainy/cold miles with Tori. 7:27 AP. 

On a side note, I think my big toe nail is going to fall off! I've never had one of the big ones go! :(

Let me quote KSL weather: Scattered showers possible mainly in central and southern Utah throughout the day. Most of the day along the Wasatch Front will be dry. Ummmm...yeah....NOT! Today I did a track workout that turned into a horrible snow storm/blizzard! When I got to the track it was 40 degrees and partly cloudy. By the middle of my workout it started snowing. By the end, FULL ON BLIZZARD! 

2 mile warm up, 4x1600 (400 recovery jog), 2x800 (400 recovery jog). My original plan was to hit around 5:50-5:53 for the miles and 2:49 for the 800's. But once I got to the track and saw that it was wet and a little slippery, I knew I needed to adjust. 

My splits: 5:59, 5:57, 5:57, 5:57, 2:57, 2:57. Once the snow and wind hit, I just couldn't go any faster. It was not pretty. But at least I was able to get a little turn over in my legs. 2 mile cool down. I looked like the abominable snowman when I got home. My hands and fingers were white and numb. 

Oh look...the sun's out now. Go figure :P

15 miles along Moab Canyon. 7.5 miles up the canyon and then back down. I pushed it on the down. 7 miles between 6:38-6:10 pace. I felt pretty tired by the end. Running uphill for over 7 miles will do that to ya. 7:09 AP. I could live in Moab!
