Slow to fast

On Saturday, my normal routine was interrupted and I never got out to run the 13 miles I had planned to run.  I told myself I would run a few extra miles this morning to make up for it, but when I woke up the air quality wasn't really that good so I kept sleeping.  I ended up running on the treadmill and did 2 fast miles at the end (6:31, 6:35).  Two days off and I'm feeling great.

4 miles with Jason this morning. Conversation topics included the similarities between cops and criminals and Jason's missed calling as an attorney.

I did 5 miles at marathon pace (6:55) after a warm-up mile.  Andrea reminded me this morning that this was my longest tempo run.  I don't have the mile splits because I forgot that when I setup the workout in my watch it turned the 5 mile portion into one long lap.  But I think I was fairly consistent.  It felt good and I think I could have kept going at that pace.  I dressed like I've been dressing for a 20° morning and soon realized that the temperature was much warmer today.

4 miles on the treadmill.  I saw a few little drops of rain outside and just didn't feel like going out.  I just bough a pair of Peregrines and tried them out.  It wasn't on a trail but they feel good.  I like how the heel isn't too high.

5 miles up and down 106th South. The roads were pretty slick.

In the morning I went skiing with my brother up White Pine in Little CCottonwood. We climbed 2500 ft. The snow was great at the upper elevations and we only saw a few other groups of skiers.

Did a late night run on my loop up to Wasatch Blvd and back to my house. It got a little colder than I thought it would. I sped up for the last two miles (6:30, 7:00). The last mile was slower because my legs got really cold and I was worried about pulling something.
