Running fool

Met Matt, Riley, Ben, Ken, and Moss at Smith's in bitter cold weather!  Matt and I ran the first two with them before they went on to do a workout.  I told Matt if tomorrow is as cold as today, then we are doing our workout inside.  Average pace: 8:24 (8:31, 8:00, 8:30, 8:32, 8:40, & 8:11).

I met Matt at the Dee Event Center to do a workout.  The plan was to do 1000 repeats with a 2:30 jog.  No average pace, but my splits were 3:35, 3:38, 3:40, 3:39, 3:37, & 3:41.  My legs were hard to get to warm up with the cold weather and just plain old tired and heavy.

Ran with Matt from his house to Rainbow Gardens and back. Average pace: 8:35 (8:25, 8:17, 8:24, 8:21, 9:33, & 8:29).

Met up with Matt, Riley, & Ben at OHS track.  We did three two miles fartlek.  Fast 400 then a slower one. 1:34, 1:55, 1:33, 1:48, 1:34, 1:44, 1:30, & 1:51 for the first set.  1:31, 1:49, 1:32, 1:50, 1:32, 1:52, 1:32, & 1:44 for the 2nd set.  1:25, 1:46, 1:29, 1:47, 1:25, 1:49, 1:25, & 1:51 for the last set.

I met Matt at the Dee Event Center this morning.  We ran the tempo loop and then ran down by Ogden Athletic Club and back.  Average pace:8:28 (9:24, 8:23, 8:22, 8:15, 8:18, 8:24, 8:21, & 8:16).

We had a fantastic run this morning out on Antelope Island!  Riley, Bret, Brett, Matt, Tyler, and I ran out there.  It was my first time meeting Matt and Tyler.  Tyler took some amazing pictures.  My watched does so I didn't get an average pace.  I'll try and post pictures later.

It was an extremely snowy morning!  I met Riley, Ben, Matt, Ken, & Jon at Mount Ogden Park.  It was a good thing I have 4x4!  Riley, Jon, & Ken ran higher trails, while Matt, Ben, & I stayed on lower trails and the roads.  I had to cut the run early in account for the snow.  It was fun, but tiring to run in fresh snow!

Matt and I met at my house at 5:15.  We jogged a mile to Weber State's gym to do a workout.  We did another mile inside and the started out workout.  The plan was 4x1.5 miles at 6:00 pace with a 2:30 rest/jog.  We did the first one in 9:02 which was pretty tough and rested 3:00.  The next one was our best at 8:58 with 3:00 rest.  The next one Matt dropped off a bit and I ended up slower then I would have liked also at 9:09 with 3:00 rest.  At this point we were both really tired.  We decided to cut the last one to a mile which we did and finished with a 6:02.  Overall it was a good workout, especially with all the black ice we hit with just our mile warm up.  

Matt and I met at the Dee and ran on some snowy roads on a cold day.  

Met Riley, Matt, & Ken at OHS and ran towards 20th down to the parkway to Washington and back.  Average: 7:43 (7:54, 7:26, 7:32, 7:41, 8:38, 8:52, & 8:29).

I met Matt in Riverdale to leave a car as we planned to met Ken up in Unitah townhall to warmup and then do a tempo as part of the sock run.  I was happy with the results, but wished I had better endurance fo longer runs.  I know that will come in time.  I saw a bunch of people I knew at the Sock run so it was a great time! Average pace 7:27 (7:55, 7:49, 7:21, 7:43, 8:19, 7:28, 6:44, 6:40, 6:41, 6:28, 6:23, 6:29, 6:28, 8:40, 7:55, 8:31, & 8:44)

I met Riley, Matt, Ben, & Ken at Smiths for a big loop around South Ogden. Average pace: 7:31 (7:44, 8:08, 7:30, 7:37, 7:05, 7:05, 6:59, 8:35, 7:34, 7:14, & 7:16).

I met Matt, Riley, Ken, & Ben at the Dee for a slow wet snowy run.

Matt and I met at OHS and ran a slow 6 miles in the snow.

That last mile we took stairs so it didn't pick up everything correct. 

I met Matt and Ken at the Dee For an easy eight miles.  There was a fresh layer of snow and cold once again, but great company.  Average pace - 8:13 (8:40, 8:20, 8:17, 7:57, 8:17, 8:06, 8:04, & 7:53).
