Today I decided to run on 11th thinking that would be warmer than my typical route up City Creek.

I left the house around 9am after my second meeting and was headed for an some sort of an easy run.

I dressed warm, 3 layers on top, hat plus the hood of my running top and gloves...a mile into my run I removed the hood ..then by the turn around point at the intersection w Virginia St. I was overheated and took my gloves off...the run back was better as my legs were moving better than in the first 3 miles...It was hard to breathe the cold air so the run did not feel as easy..plus I keep having the issue with my hamstrings being too sore (at the glute attachments)all the time...

I was happy that I was able to run up the hill of the capitol (1 mile straight up) without stopping until I got home...that is over a 10 min mile...ouch...

I feel I am getting slower but at least I am enjoying the scenery...it might be the cold weather?? Or maybe the cycling camp at Contender that leaves me tired w/o legs every Tues/Thurs

Av. pace was 8:14

Total time:1:06

Today my husband and I ran with the foothill runners...brisker pace for us but that is good sometimes.

I got in 10 miles starting at 6:30 am at 7:50average pace. Cold...17F, my hands were cold the second part of the run once my gloves got wet from the first part...

Nice morning.

Today I ran twice. 7 miles around lunch with Walter (thanks for getting me out the door in such a cold day) and then 3 miles at the JCC on the treadmill before picking up my son.

It was so cold today (or it felt like) that I put on so many layers that overdressed :-)...I even remove my gloves on my last mile up capitol hill.

I ran 10 miles on 10 F ...and snowy roads...my average pace was 8:25. I ran from home down East Cap Blvd, 11 avenue up half a mile after the gate of the gated community after crossing Virgina St.

My splits were as follows:

lap 1: 8:02 (downhill but snow on the first half mile)

lap2: 8:04, uphill towards 11th avenue by City creek canyon

lap3: 8:17, uphill on 11th

lap4:8:03, still 11th..mix up and flat

lap5: 9:05 (super steep hill going up)

lap6: 7:55 (back on 11 th)

lap7: 7:45

lap8: 8:03 (downhill but snow on the side of the road)

lap9: 10:03 (what can i say...E Capitol hill)

lap10: 8:54 (still up hill )

Lungs felt challenged and my glutes are sore...hope to get in 2 miles on the treadmill tonight to losen up..

Added in the pm 3 miles w some intervals on the treadmill

8.02 miles, 1:05 h 8:12 average. 9F

Same route as yesterday from home to 11th avenue until intersection to Virginia St and back...needed to take a some breaks to get some air in my lungs..
