Running

3.11 miles

Have been succombing to the bed monster the last little while. Had plans to get up and going earlier but it just didn't happen. Since time was short, did a quickish 5k. Felt alright and the weather was fantastic!

8 miles

Met Brayden and James at Liberty Park for a nice run. Was planning on a 10 mile run at about 7:15 avg pace, but the new shoes were unkind and I had to cut it short because of a gnarly blister on the little toe. Hopefully, the shoes are well broken in now and will not cause any more problems. Hadn't run that pace for a while and it felt just alright. Not too terrible but also not amazing.

10 miles

Met Braydon for a chunck of miles during his 20 mile training run. He needed to run a 7:18 AP but chose a tough route to run that with me. Met him just north of the CH Rec Center and then went south until Bengal Blvd. Then East up Bengal to Wasatch. Then North on Wasatch until Old Mill GC. Since I am out of shape I bailed there and headed home. Rounded out my mileage to 10 by looping the neighborhood. Felt good to be close to his pace for a while.

10 miles

Ran to meet Brayden at the corner of Wasatch and BCC. I ran through the intersection and saw Brayden coming up the BCC trail about .25 miles behind me. I yelled to him to catch me since he is in much better shape than I am. Then I dropped the pace to 6:30 for a mile or so and then kept it under 7:00 for another mile. That pretty much killed me and I had to slow way down. Brayden caught up to me right before the Mt Oly trailhead. We ran another mile together before I turned around and headed back home. I was just trying to be a good rabbit for Brayden during a challenging stretch of Wasatch. I'd say I did a good job.

6 miles

Did a nice and easy 6 miles on my regular route.

Just the same

6 miles

Same route, rain/snow conditions. My forehead was numb for most of the time.

6 miles

Did a variation of my normal Danish Rd loop. Went up to Prospector and across there instead of Wasatch. Added a big climb and got me out of the exhaust trap that is Wasatch Blvd during morning commute. I am still sore from my Iron Strength workout yesterday.
