Long-Term Running Goals: I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.
Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:) Personal:

| LPT with Andy. Same 8 miles that we like to do. I slowed us down quite a bit!
3.5 hours of sleep x2 nights in a row. Hawaii time! Needless to say, I still have an annoying cold. I'm hopeful it was that combination that led to this ⇒
8 flat miles at 7:58 ap and 93%HR. And it felt like it. I wanted to turn around 3 miles in to it, but held on. By the end it felt like a 5k cardio wise and a marathon physically. It was awesome.

| Sort of a last minute lunch run up to the Twin Peaks with Scott. I was breathing harder than necessary and asked him to walk once. He gave me a hard time because I always talk about trail running being an "off day" or "cross training day." But the truth is, is that there are days where it is just as hard as interval work for me, and I'm the only one breathing through a ventilator, strapped to my back.
After the run I noticed my buns are a little sore. It's been awhile since I've been on a stair stepper. Time to step it up, sometime.

| City Creek with Scott. Quiet an astute sashay with one digger. Ran up for 5.5 miles on the trail, then back down on the road. The down hill allowed for the pace to sit comfortably in the 7:30's ap. We decided to give a final push (6:10) with just under a mile to go. It felt so good to get some leg turn over on the downhill! Made me hungry to race. 11total @ 9:15ap

| 6:00AM- Met up with MVH and Scott. It was good to see MVH out since he's been injured this year. You know someone's the real deal when they show up and smoke you at their worst!
We met up on I street to make it up to Twin Peaks by sunrise. MVH wanted to test out his drone, but the weather was rainy, windy and hailing. Sometimes we could hear each other speak. Despite the elements, it was a fun run with good advice.
The trails are getting just a little easier these days.
PM- 6 miles with Karen. We had a sprint to the finish and she smoked me.

| I planed on getting a lot more mileage toda, but the gym tour took forever. Partly because they offered free coins to their massage chair, which seemed to be more important at the time. Then it didn't stop there, they gave me more coins for the Hydro massage bed. I pretty much spent all my workout time getting massaged by robots. 2 miles on the TM around 8:00ap.

| Nice early run up Mueller Park with Scott. Snow on the ground all the way up, but it was run-able the entire way. We ran up toRudy's Flat with plans to go down North Canyon, but decided to run back the way we came since it was dark and we didn't get to see the views! I guess there's some sort of cave turn off on your way back down towards North Canyon. I'd like to do that one next. We also ran into Twinkies and a couple Farmington trail friends. I've never been up there in the winter, beautiful! Great run this morning. 2:18:00

| 19 degrees, "feels like"10 degrees. Frozen garage door, many layers, robotic movements with Andy at LPT, hard last mile @ 6:42 . Discovered the ventriloquist secret- a frozen and numb face. Phone was frozen in car. 7:47ap overall.
For many reasons we have not taken these days very serious, but just use as motivation to get out. Sometimes once every 5 weeks or so we decide to push the last mile. Otherwise, we just get it done and add it to our mileage for the week. Lately, its been the fastest I have ben running all week. My how things change.

| Today I ran at 9:00am and it was so nice! First, I ran up to my daughter's school to drop off her lunch then continued on to Davis Blvd. The first mile is uphill and while I felt fine, my Garmin indicated that my recovery was "fair." I haven't ever seen anything but "good." My heart rate was already at 85% after the first mile, but whatever, I was there. (9:13 mi)
A few short stop and go's for traffic, but it wasn't terrible. I decided to pick up the pace mid-run since I knew I was crossing a Strava segment. For some reason I thought it was a mile, but it was only .4. I pretty much ran harder and longer than I needed to, but I got the course record, which was the goal:) Ran back home and picked up the last downhill mile.
It felt moderatly hard overall. I'm happy with the pace for this course. I have always had a goal to average 7:00 on Davis, but have never been able to quite hit it. The ups and downs plus the traffic make it hard to go steady for a desired pace, but I think today's the closest I've come to that!
6 mi 42:22, 7:03ap
7:20, 7:24, 7:13, 6:46, 7:21, 6:13 (downhill)
PM- 3.3 mi at judgment free zone. Fun to run with Steve beside me on the TM. 8:30 ap

| This morning I was given an insiders tip that Walmart would be carrying .22 shells by 7:00am. I woke up extra early in line, waited 20 mins and was told just kidding. Steve would love these for a stocking stuffer. I had no idea these were hard to come by. Lamerz! So I just walked around Walmart and bought lots of candy.
9:30am- 11 beautiful and (super) muddy miles up City Creek trail with Mr. Weseman and Mrs. Body Odor.

| Oh my, today was fun! I met Craig and Scott at the AF park and Ride, then carpooled to Squaw Peak. We had a discussion on the way up about the important things to pack in a vest. Criag made light of Scott carrying a first aid kit, then minutes later, Craig gashed open his head on a low-lying branch. He was intent on continuing forward, even though he clearly needed stitches. Good thing Scott had a butterfly Band-Aid in his pack :-) Within the first 15 minutes, it started to get icy and the footing was iffy. For some reason, I left my spikes at home-- another important item to pack in my vest! I felt like an idiot for caving in and using one of Scott's, but I don't think I would've made it up otherwise. Lots of little slips and squalls but we made it up to the top. We took a few photos, then turned around. We wanted a few more miles so we ran up another way to get a few more. Coming back down was a complete riot!! What an awesome morning! 10.5 mi/ 3:16:30
