6 on the treadmill because it was snowing like crazy at dusk and I

didn't really relish the idea of getting pwned by some crazy driver. 

Otherwise I would have gone outside since it was a little warmer with

the cloud cover.

8 at a moderate pace around town.  Was a super nice day today.    :)  Great for running.

didn't get a run in today.  :(  I think I spent a total of 1 hour at

home between 7 AM and 10:00 PM today.  too busy.  But the upside is

that now I FINALLY have my schedule finalized and everything figured

out so I will be able to focus more time and energy on running.  Now I

will hopefully be able to establish a better routine like I had last

semester.

10 Providence/Main/4th North Loop.  Felt pretty good considering that's the longest run I've done in awhile.  I'm going to start to shift my focus back to getting the mileage up in preparation for Ogden.

7 moderate to hard miles on the treadmill with a couple of inclines and surges.  Felt surprisingly strong today considering I'm a little out of shape.

5 on the treadmill again.  I HATE the treadmill!!!  But I haven't had time earlier to go and I don't really want someone in a car to go sliding across any ice and pwn me.  So I am consigned to the treadmill if I don't get a run during daylight.  But I felt good.  Was a little sore so I took it real easy...easy to do on a treadmill.  I think one of the worst things about a treadmill is you can't really go with the way you feel.  you are stuck to 8.5 mph or else!  and if you wanna change it you have to push buttons and fanagle with it....basically it's LAME.  But oh well.

8.5 moderate pace.  Felt really really good today and it was nice.  A little chilly but other than that it was a very nice day for running.

10.5 really easy with Ruth and Paul.  Felt better than expected.  Just relaxed and had a good time with it.  Thus ends my first "good" week in a long time.  I think if I have one more decent week I'll be back into the swing of things and be able to really train for this t<2:45 I'm hoping for at Ogden.

easy ten today.  Went down on the canal trail and the Bonneville Shoreline trail.  Where the sun hits, the trails are pretty nice, but most of it is too snowy still to be of much use.  Ended up being a pretty slow run due to the difficulty of the trail, but not too bad.  Added a couple of loops on the roads to round out my ten.  It was a little warmer and rainy today...maybe winter is FINALLY coming to an end?  Better not get my hopes up but there was a good feel in the air today.  Like a light at the end of a tunnel.  :)  haha

Easy 8.5 just out around town going wherever I wanted and enjoying the beautiful weather.  Felt very good today.  I hope spring is on the way...today sure felt like it.  :)

6.5 today.  did 3 easy on the treadmill and then 3.5 at tempo pace on the roads after I decided that it wasn't cold enough out to consign myself to death by boredom on the treadmill even with my iPod (which I am not a fan of running with, by the way).  Felt good today.  :)

6 easy again today.  Nothing really much to talk about.  The Aggies won the WAC championship for the regular season today though!  And I went on a lame blind date.  Random day today.

Was going to take it easy today but I got out there and just felt like going fast.  It was one of those runs where you fell like you can go forever as fast as you want.  Was tired and a little sore afterwards but it felt great!

11 easy to moderate to finish out the week.  Felt pretty good again except I got a little case of RD towards the end.  Nothing serious though.
