running for my mind

8 and change on the parkway. Unseasonably warm weather. No complaints here.

am - one good thing about an off season is sleeping in when your body tells you it needs it. i must have really needed it because i didn't get up until after 7.

might get a few miles in tonight, but maybe not.

Met Fritz, JP, and Dan at HHS and warmed up over to the track at East. Fritz and JP were doing 6x800 and I had a goal to get in a decent workout without over doing it. I figured I would hang out somewhere behind JP and see how it went. I did 2x800 and then switched to 400s for the last 4. My right calf became a little tight at the beginning of the second 800 and I have no reason to push it. I was still happy with the effort and the workout. Finished off with a "cool down" back to HHS which included a marathon pace mile.

2:39, 2:43, 79, 78, 78, 79

10 - 7:10

Met Fritz and JP at HHS and ran to Liberty for a couple loops and back. Was feeling a little slow and sluggish from yesterday. Great sunrise and still loving shorts weather on December 11th.

8 on the parkway. For no real reason I decided to push the last mile. I eased into the pace and ended up with a 6:02. 52 degrees on 12/12. I'll take it.

A few people have asked me if I am signing up for the Wasatch 100 again this year. I am undecided right now. I didn't get in last year, so my name will be in the lottery twice. Part of me wants to do it, and another part doesn't.

17 - 7:11

Met Jen and Brayden at Liberty and ran to Sugarhouse for a loop and then downtown. Tried to avoid having to finish with multiple Liberty laps. I felt a little more tired than last week's 17. Nonetheless, great weather. Great run.
