The air is absolutely horrendous, I ran the Jordan river parkway this morning and it was quite foggy.  I am still hacking a little from Saturday, but overall I feel pretty good.  I started pretty slow, but by the end I felt like I was moving pretty well.  Hopefully the air will clear in the next few days, I look forward to another hard treadmill workout tomorrow.

Ok, so I stepped up to 1:30 intervals with 1 minute recovery today - again on the treadmill.  The additional 30 seconds turned out to be a bit more challenging than I hoped, but I did finish the set.  My lungs are feeling very tight, the inversion has gotten the better part of me, I started feeling tight in my chest after Saturday, I sure hope the air clears soon.  I will probably do one more week at 1:30 then try to move to 2 minutes, but I have to feel a bit stronger than I did today.  Overall pleased with the progress.

Finally, cleaner air!!!!  Ran City Creek canyon today, but because of time contraints I could only get 7 in this afternoon.  I was pretty sluggish on the climb up, but felt like I was moving pretty well on the way down.  Looking forward to a hard set of mile repeats tomorrow.

4x1 mile with 2 minutes recovery.  Today was easier than last week by quite a bit.  I am having a hard time focusing throughout the entire rep, but overall the speed feels more comfortable than it did over the last several weeks.  I did drop the speed on the first half of the last rep, but I picked it up again.  I feel pretty good about my progressions to this point, and hopefully I will add some reps in the upcoming weeks.

Ran easy today out on the Jordan river parkway.  It was a beautiful day, and I felt pretty good.

Well today I put slow in LSD!  Ran out in the marsh in Farmington on a slippery snow packed road, although it was pretty, it was all but impossible to run very fast.  I ended up running farther than I intended and at a pace that was significantly slower than I should have run.  It was good to be on my feet for such a long time, but I will choose a different route next time that will allow me to open up my stride and actually run with a more natural gait.
