Ran a very slow and easy run, wanted to see how the legs were feeling.  I felt good, it was a nice run, nothing hurts so I cannot complain.

All in all a pretty good run.  I ran up City Creek and I felt ok on the way up and quite good on the way down, but I could tell my legs are a little beat up from Saturday's 10k.  I would like to have run further, but I procrastinated all afternoon and did not get out in time to get more done.  I look forward to a hard set tomorrow.

Can we say SNOW!!!!  I had scheduled a hard interval set for the day, but bailed because there was too much snow.  Ran very easy with Taha, it was a very nice run.  Might try to get out this afternoon for a few more.  The interval set will have to wait until tomorrow.

Met Taha at Sugar House Park for the set we were going to do yesterday.  Warm-up about 2.5 miles, and then ran 12x3 minutes with a 90 second recovery.  The first 6 did not feel too bad, we ran at a steady effort, I struggled through 10 and fought through the last two.  Taha ran hard on most of the climbs and I had to fight hard to stay with him.  Overall it was an excellent session and I feel good about finishing the set.

You gotta love the blank calendar - so fresh and new...  I felt pretty hammered after yesterday's set, moved pretty much like a half dead turtle, but it was good to get out and work some of the junk out.

The goal today was to run 4 x 1 mile at a relatively hard effort.  I was very sluggish on the warm-up and was not sure how I would feel, and the first mile of the set was pretty rough.  I had a hard time finding any rhythm and Taha put time on me on the back side of the park.  First mile was 5:39.  Recovered 2.5 minutes and reversed the course.  The second mile has more climbing and I was a little concerned, but I figured oh well.  By the end of the second mile I felt I had some rhythm and was moving ok.  Mile 2:  5:37.  Took about 3 minutes of easy running then attempted the third mile.  We decided the third mile would be our last because we were feeling a bit tired.  I felt good during the third mile and was comfortable with the effort.  Mile 3:  5:30.  I could have done a fourth, but I feel that may have been a bit too much considering I am planning on running long Saturday.  I feel good about today's set.

Ran Emigration canyon this afternoon.  The run started slow and got better as I climbed, but I was cooked on the way down, my legs were very fatigued by the end.  It was a little frustrating, but the week as a whole was great, and I feel like I have put in some pretty good workouts.
