SLCTC group run.  Small group and I struggled to hang onto the back.  I think I'll count it as a tempo run, although it felt like a race.

Lunchtime spin class.  Hoping to get a short run in tonight to make up for oversleeping and missing yesterday morning's run.

 PM: Liberty Park run.

Usual Liberty run.  Probably the first time in months that I managed to run for 4 consecutive days.  Goal is to make it 5...baby steps.

I didn't have much time today, so I decided to finally do the 20 minute assessment workout on the Pear Pro that I got for Christmas. The purpose was to set my heart rate zones for future workouts.  It was all based on perceived exertion and I'm pretty sure I screwed up and will need to redo this soon.

Easy 5 before heading to Moab.  Weird pain behind left knee.

Busy day helping time the Moab Red Hot races.  My day started at 4:45 am and I did not get back to my hotel until almost 7:30 pm.  I was exhausted, but it was great watching all the runners come in.  There were some crazy fast performances (3:44 55K!) and some amazing runners out there. Someday I need to run this race, I hear the course is beautiful.

No running, but did some hiking in Arches.  My first trip to Delicate Arch plus a few other short hikes, probably 5-6 miles total.  Had every intention of running after hiking, but fell asleep and did not wake up until it was time to meet others for dinner. Oops.

Very late day at work.  Only had time for 5, but better than nothing.

I worked the finish line at the last two SLCTC Winter Series races, but for some reason I decided that today I would run.  I wanted to see exactly how (un)fit I was right now, so I could plot out my UVM training.  My husband and I had the very important job of picking up the coffee before the race so we got to Saltair around 8:30 when it was relatively nice out. Within 20 minutes it turned into a whiteout. I've lived in western PA, upstate NY, and WY and these were the worst conditions I have ever run a race in.  I scrapped my plans to run hard and just ran at a comfortable pace.  The first half was not too bad, but I could tell by the faces of the returning runners that the second half was going to be miserable. After the turn, I felt like I was being pelted in the face with glass splinters. It was awful. I think I ran a 15K PW (personal worst).

The sun convinced me that it was warmer than it was.  I under dressed for this run and was so cold by the time it was over.  Meandered from home to Liberty, up to Sugarhouse, then back down home.

Very slow recovery run.  Felt absolutely awful for the first half, but ended up feeling pretty good by the end.

Very slow recovery run.  This was probably closer to 4, but I rounded down.
