10.5 in the afternoon. it was so windy this morning that i waited hoping the wind would die down. it did a little but not much.

totaltime 1:18:00

started out with a 7:00 mile then 6:23,6:12,6:09. then a 7:19uphill, then 6:46 and 7:12. this mile was starting to head right into the wind and rain. my last 3.5 miles were at about 9 minute pace right into the wind and rain, i was cold and ready to be done. it was a good run to have behind me. i haven't hit this many miles in one week since pre SGM back in september.

we got pounded with 8 inches of snow overnight. i got my excercise shoveling last night and this morning. there are a few older neigbors on my street and since the snow pretty much kills my work day i go to work shoveling snow. a four wheeler with a plow is on my wish list for sure.

after shoveling snow i pulled my four year old son around on a sled. i figured it was 1 mile of jogging around the highschool track and school grounds pulling him.

at noon it was 40 F' so i went for a jog down to the college where i knew all of the sidewalks would be cleared. i noticed that the SUU track was clear so i ran 4 miles on it and then ran back home. i didn't have a watch but i figure it was about 7 miles.

i was glad to find that they are keeping the SUU track clear, now i have a place to go for some speed or tempo workouts even if there is lots of snow on the ground.

didn't feel like a longer run today so i went over to the track(across from my house), one mile warmup, 1 mile in 5:33, then a mile cool down. the plan is for tomorrow to be a harder tempo session, time and weather permitting.

2 miles warm up on track, 3 mile tempo on the track in 18:00, 3 mile cool down on the streets of cedar. i don't mind tempos and i believe they really help me.

1 6:13

2 6:22

3 6:05

4 6:17

5 6:26

6 6:09

7 6:20

11 6:59 had to battle through a side ache on this mile

12 6:32

12.93 5:53

only regret is that i didn't push it harder the last few miles. when i crossed the finish i was hardly breathing. after reading Dave Holts race report and how exhausted he was at the end i figure i just don't have a high enough pain threshold.

congrats to all the bloggers on their races. i was talking to the SGM race directer at the race, he is a family friend. i pointed out all the blue and explained that it was the fast running bloggers racing team as well as the SG running club. there was definately a good showing at the race.

went out for about an hour. ran out in little valley and up to the old airport. ran some trails. wow the weather sure is different in st george. i am taking a little break from much running until weather gets better and even then my work schedule will probably be insane so i'll see what happens.
