Did a workout on the treadmill at work today.  4 x 0.5 mi with 0.25 mi jog in between repeats.  I did a 2 mile warm-up and only a 0.75 mile cooldown because I had to get to a meeting.  My first interval was at 6:31 pace then the last 3 were at 6:15.  This was the first time since the Saltair Half since I've done a faster workout and it felt good.

Treadmill today at lunch. My right knee started hurting a little but I don't think it will last.

Treadmill again. The front of my right knee is still bothering me just a little.

Finally ran outside this morning. It wasn't too bad but made me go a little slower than I would have when the sidewalks weren't plowed.  8:19 min pace.

I contemplated the motivation to shovel sidewalks.  And I returned home with a frosty beard.

I did a workout at lunch on the treadmill with Jason.  1-2-3-3-2-1 min ladder
with equal time recovery.  2 mi warm-up and 1 mi cool-down.  6:18 min pace for effort and 8:00 min pace for the rest.  It wasn't easy.

I went up to Suncrest to do 10 miles but got a little lost and had to go farther. At least the air was clean. I need to move here.

I ran on the treadmill this morning, but I probably could have gone outside.  I don't think the air was that bad.  Oh well, at least the rest of the day will feel like the Zipper ride compared to that.

Easy 4 miles on the treadmill at lunch today.  I should have run outside.  The air was relatively clean this morning.

Went up to Suncrest for a workout today with Jason from work. We warmed up with 2 miles and then did 8 x 0.25 miles with equal jog between reps (1:26-1:27-1:36-1:20-1:51-1:24-1:44-1:33). It was really tough to be consistent because the route was pretty hilly. Then I cooled down for 1 mile.

3 miles on the treadmill. I'm so glad to see the smog go with this storm today. More outside runs to come.

Ahh. The air is clean. What a nice run this morning. Except for the cars that wouldn't move over when they drove by.

Nice snowy morning. I ran 3 miles to Draper Park, met Jason and ran 2 more miles before heading home. Now my knees are pretty tender. I'mllooking forward to a rest day tomorrow.

I planned on running yesterday morning but was up most of the night with a barfing kid so I slept in. And I didn't get out during the day because I was running Christmas errands. But I did go this morning and ran a little farther than I planned to make up for yesterday. I hope I can go tomorrow. It's tough on holiday when my schedule is all messed up.

My wife got me a Garmin FR620 for Christmas so I tried it out today.  I hardly had to read the manual before my run.  I just pushed go and the GPS connected and recorded the run.  It will be nice to leave my phone and armband at home.

I did a 4 mile tempo run at marathon pace after 2 warm-up miles.  6:59, 7:06, 6:55, 6:39.

5 miles this morning.  I went quite slow because the outside of my left knee was bothering me.  It feels fine now.  Hopefully it doesn't affect tomorrow's run.  It's sad to see the air quality start to go bad again.  It's been nice to run outside the last couple of weeks.

I went up 106th South to Wasatch Blvd and then 17th East to 114th South and then 7th East.  Nice little loop.

I ran up to the benches this morning to stay out of the smog.
