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:)

Woke up extra early this morning in hopes to beat the snow. Only snowed for last mile but lots of stop and go with icy patches and slowing and stopping for traffic. It was sort of unreal this early in the morning, but there was no getting around the ice.

I wanted to do some slightly faster miles so ran on Davis due to the smaller rollers, but hindsight, the stop and go was worse than if I would have just endured the hills on Main. Tried to average around 7:00 AP but got off with the frequent obstacles- regardless happy about effort and felt great today. 10 total, with 1 mile warm up and down. Overall AP at 7:13. For my records.. splits were 7:38, 7:23, 7:31, 7:31, 7:08, 7:11, 7:00, 6:30.

The weather was awesome today! I was confused with all the hype about the winter storm warning that never occured, except in a few canyon areas. When I woke up this morning it was warmer, around 40 degrees at 6am with a light sprinkle. All of the ice and snow had almost melted. The only down side is that there were some pretty impressive puddles throughout the run that were deep and cold, but still fun!

Easy run for about 6 miles then did a 3 minute pickup followed by 3 minutes at regular pace all the way back for 36 minutes. Totaling, 6 pickups total. I didn't get the pace for these, just went by minutes but likely averaged 6 min pace on the downhills and 6:30 on the uphills=6:15 AP.

Okay, let me see if I can get them all. Ran a 14 long run/tempo  this morning with Allie, Kam, Cam, Andy, James, Jake, Andrea and Mark. Yep, that's who was there.

The plan was 14 miles with a 2x2 mile tempo at marathon pace at the end, with a 1 mile rest. The wind and the rain in the beginning were making our 7:30 pace look like 9 minute pace, but felt like 7:00 pace:) Did you get that? It was still fun. When the time came for the tempo, our pack split up more. I ran with Andy, Kam and Allie for the 2x2. The first two miles were pretty flat, the second  two miles were a little more hilly, but in comparison with the hills around here Overall pretty flat.. Spits were 6:50, 6:42 and 6:42, 6:30.

Good workout. I was a little nervous in the first few miles, I had a weird sensation of a dead leg for some reason, you know the kind you get from being punched in the leg, not the kind from sitting funny. That left, then a "GU-less GU gut poked it's head in for a short visit, but was shortly lived and didn't effect the important tempo part of the run luckily. Overall felt great today and was happy to run with amazing runners.

Afterwards we went to Kam's for some yummy waffles! So good to meet FRB'ers in person!
