Welcome

Swedetown out and back with 3x1 mile on Warm Springs Rd (relatively flat) running by where that poor couple fell from I-215 yesterday. The intervals were not what I wanted but its a learning process. 5:56, 6:06, 6:07. Still a bit weary. 1:16:45 with 300+ft of climb. No HR monitor.

Another sluggish run - three days in a row. I'm going to start blaming the inversion and a stomach bug that I think has hit me (though mildly; hit my 4 yr old hard). I had to split the run in two with an hour in between. 3 miles at 24:11 and 5 more at 38:53. 129 and 137 HR respectively with 250 ft and 450 ft climbs respectively. Two hill runs back to work. Overall it stunk.

Stomach bug had me bad today but I still tried running inside. Original plan was 2 warm-up, 3 at 5:50 and 2 cool down. Turned into 2.5 warm-up, 1 at 5:50 and .5 cool down.  28:45 total. I will take the rest of the week a bit easier. 

Emigration out and back. Very warm and pretty when you get just a bit up the canyon. Felt much better today. Did eight strides and a few hill bursts. 56 mts; 143 HR and 700 ft climb.

Icy and treacherous roads but what can you do? It may increase the risk of injury from falling/pulling something or death from slipping and falling into traffic (am I the only one who day-nightmares about that?), but it sure is fun! Wasatch Blvd out and back with 4x1 mt sub 6 during mile 5. 57:22 with 550ft of climb and 144 HR.

Easy run near work on Sunnyside and therenearby. 46:53 with 500ft of climb. No HR monitor. Looking forward to the 5k tomorrow.

32 degrees and foggy. Pretty nice race conditions. I warmed up by running the course and doing a couple strides. Idea was 5:50, 5:45, 5:40 and 33 scds for last .1. Actual results were 5:51, 5:55, 6:02 and 35 scds for last .1. Cooled down by running the course once more and running to car and bldg.

While the goal is to break 18 minutes, I think this is ok for this time of the year. I saw a few bloggers I recognized and finished just behind Rob Murphy and shook his hand at the end but was too shy to introduce myself or talk to anyone else. 

Another 3.9 in 30 minutes at 2 to get my daily miles in. Outdoor Retailer Loop
