Welcome

I waited for the storm to hit to run at 2. 14 in the plans but I did 10 instead and it was stacking pretty deep on the way back. My runkeeeper went berzerk so I know I left at 2:02 and returned at 3:24 but nothing more. To Liberty Park around twice and home. 

Treadmill threshold run at work. 10k at 6:00 pace and 1 incline with warm and cool. 50:20 total

Snowy slushy winter run from work. I went into Harvard/Yale to avoid too many cars running on the roads. Feet got kind of wet but otherwise a nice run. 53:26 with 550 ft climb. No HR.

No time to run at lunch so I got in a quick 5 on the treadmill at 5. 

5:00@8.5, 5:00@9, 10:00@9.5, 10:00@10 and .33 miles@12 to finish off. 31:30 total 

Emigration out and back. 8x120 steps hard / 240 steps recover; four going up / four down. Felt great today - very warm and I was overdressed. 51:10 with 650ft climb.

For January, I ran 29 of 31 days and 254.77 miles, both highs. I am feeling stronger with the 60/wk average. Also, beginning to alternate four pairs of shoes and wear compression a lot may be helping me resist injury as I did not have any problem areas this month.

Another emigration out and back in the crocs. I did mile 5 in 5:20 as sort of a tune up for tomorrow; it was a 160 ft drop in elevation. 45:02 and 550 ft climb.

Cold morning. Low 20s I think. We stayed at my wife's parents in West Weber. We got home after midnight after watching Silver Linings Playbook (meh) and my 1 yr old was sleepless so it was a tough night.

I warmed up by running the course. My Garmin didn't charge so I had to use my iPhone to time the race and thus I was forced to run by feel (which inevitably leads me to not push myself). Splits were 6:15 with a net 80 ft climb, 6:33 with a net 50 ft climb (170 up, 120 down), 5:46 with a net 120 ft drop and 27 seconds to finish. My phone showed it to be 3.08 and the total climb is about 325. Then another 3.3 to cool.

I wanted to run a faster final mile, closer to the 5:20 I did yesterday, but it was a tough cold race and its hard to know exactly what to expect I suppose.
