Don't wanna be FAT!

Ran my normal 8.25 mile loop.  Averaged 7:45.  I was definitely feeling Saturday's hard run, but there were not any pains to be worried about.  

Ran up 40th street from the McKay Dee Hospital to the top and got on the lowest trail just above Mt. Ogden Golf Course followed it to 29th street trail head and looped by on the next trail above the lowest one.  I was running from the hospital because my wife is having our baby.  She has strep B so they had to get the antibiotic in her and because they hadn't started her on the patosim yet and not much was happening I thought I might as well get my run in.  I didn't want to be gone for any longer than an hour though just in case things changed.  It was actually a lot harder than I thought it would be to get the 7 miles (mostly on the trail) in under an hour.  It took about 55:00 minutes so I averaged just under 8:00 minute pace.  It was cold windy and snowy out.  They have now started my wife on the patosim and broken her water so the baby should be out in the next couple of hours.  

2.5 miles warmup from McKay Dee Hospital out to South Ogden.

6 miles aerobic builder (5:54, 5:52, 5:52, 5:47, 5:48, 5:39)

2.5 miles cool-down

I was just hoping to average under 5:50 pace and given the cold tempatures and icey roads I would have actually been happier with a slower average than 5:50.  I averaged just under 5:50 so mission accomplished.  I was very happy with this workout.

Did my regular 8.25 mile loop. I was spinning my tires for some of the way because of the snow packed roads. Nothing special here AP 6:56.

I considered meeting up with the guys for this run, but because they were meeting later and running down in Farmington I decided not to.  I didn't want to leave my wife with the two boys and a few days old baby for that long.  So I ran on from my house up to the rail trail then to syrcuse trail then back to hooper and through part of roy really early that morning with the hope that the boys would be asleep for most of the time I was gone.  I'm glad that ran early because it didn't snow at all during my run and the blizzard hit about 10 minutes after finishing my run.  I ran 6 miles at about about 7:20 pace then I did 4 miles hard (5:26, 5:27, 5:21, 5:27).  All 4 miles hard were slightly down hill, but I still felt pretty good about them.  I then ran 10.22 more miles at about a 7:15 ap.  Real happy with the workout and the week.
