A nice easy run in Jeremy ranch, it was a beautiful evening for a run.  I felt pretty good, no ill effects from Saturday's effort.

I was short on time today so I did not get too much in.  I did not feel good at all today, very sluggish and tired.  I think I have some dehydration going, I had a very busy day working with no time to drink.

Met at the park for another set of 12x3 minutes.  I was a little more amped for today's set then I was last week.  The wind in the park was a bit ridiculous, but I came to do some work.  The set went by quicker than it has in the past which I think is a good sign.  I felt strong for the majority of  the set and felt as though I could have continued for at least a couple more. Overall, a good day running

The first part of the run was terrible, I could barely move.  My 9:09 first mile was not a good start.  As I got into the run I felt a little better, but at the half way point I realized I was going to be late for work if I did not get a move on.  I ran the last couple miles in about 6:40 pace.  The snow in the eyes was a bit rough, but it was not too cold which made for a nice run.

Met at Sugarhouse park for a set of 4x1 mile with 2:30 recovery.  Based on how I felt Tuesday, I felt like this set would go well, but in the first rep I was feeling flat.  I tried to run comfortable and relax, but I just not able to get going.  5:40.  Mile 2 is back the opposite of mile 1 and has a net uphill gain, again I struggled, but moved a little better. 5:40.  The pace on mile 3 was much faster and I hung on as best I could, I was tired climbing the little hill on the back side of the park, but powered through it 5:25.  I just wanted to survive the fourth and went into cruise mode, I pushed hard in the end to close the gap and came through in 5:40 again.  Overall, I was pleased with the set and I was not trashed in the end, I just struggled to get any momentum.  The third mile offered a glimmer of hope and shows some sign of improvement.

Today's long run was ok, but I did not feel as fluid as I did last week.  We ran the same loop we ran last week, but were a bit faster on the way up through the hills.  I never felt bad during the run, but I also never felt very good.  I attacked the hill on the half pipe again, felt pretty good, and then continued on at about 6:55 pace through most of the rest of the run.  I swear we hit every single stop light on the way back.  I look forward to having a good half next weekend.
