I needed a longer run today but it was too cold to carry water without it freezing so I opted for loops around Liberty to take advantage of the spring water fountain. Ran to the park, ran 9 loops, ran home. Was planning on 1 more loop but I was freezing so I cut it short. This was a mentally exhausting run. I didn't wear a watch but it felt like it took forever.

20 miles 'round and 'round the Olympic Oval at the Revolution Run.  73 running laps+ 2 more walking as a cooldown for 75 total laps.  Planned this as a training run for Surf City so I could practice fueling and test clothing options.  Pace was pretty slow but I accomplished my goal.  Thankful that a friend ran 68 laps with me.  This was definitely a mental toughness test.

Attempted to skate ski for the first time since 2011.  I'm still absolutely awful. I made it about 2 miles. I'm contemplating selling my skis because I dion't think I'll ever put in the time needed to get proficient and actually enjoy skiing.

Needed to get one last long run in before Surf City in 2 weeks. Given the crap air in SLC, I decided to head down to St George and run the half. Ran a 4.5 mile warmup, ran the half in 1:52:40, then cooled down back to the hotel. Weather was beautiful with sunny blue skies and clean air. St George is becoming one of my favorite places to run. This went much better than I anticipated.  Really torn about what pace to target for the marathon now as it appears I'm in better shape than I thought.

Went to Pipeline to get a trail run in. It was gorgeous out, the snow was nicely packed, and we were above the nasty air. Unfortunately Nate sprained his ankle badly 2 miles in so we had to turn around and walk 2 miles back to the car.

Usual Liberty Park run. Loved the sunshine, not so much love for the air.

Just a guess on distance. Thought running laps at the fieldhouse was better than breathing the air outside. The indoor track is a great place to people watch. All kinds of interesting.

Warmup with Vanessa., 5k in 24:30 (by my watch, 24:37 gun time), cool down with Vanessa. Not bad at all considering I rarely run under 9 minute miles anymore and haven't done any speed work since summer. Splits were all pretty consistent around 7:53. It's been awhile since I ran sub 8s on a non-aided coourse.  

Looking back, I ran this race about 1 minute faster than 2012 (didn't run last year).  I didn't run the miles that I wanted to in 2013, but I worked on my strength and core and it seems to be paying off. I'm really enjoying running right now and I'm running better lately than I have in several years.  Looking forward to the rest of 2014!

Didn't want to run, tried to talk myself out of running, finally decided to suck it up and run.  Ended up being an enjoyable run.  Glad I got out there.
