Mental funk induced by achilles pain. Cant fully explain it but I cycled indoors instead.

I'm not sure why this icy weather is so intimidating. But I did spin for nearly 2 hours while I watched a movie on the ipad.

Nice 16 degree run with Cindy. Thank goodness for a friend to pull me out the door again.

Decided to do Cindy's workout with her today.

Warm up, strides

2X4 min w/2 min recover

2X3 min w/90 sec recover

2X2 min w/ 1 min recover

4X1 min w/ 1 min recover

Cool down

I have no idea the pace on the pick-ups, pretty sure they were sub-7 min pace. I didn't take splits or pay too much attention though, just going along with Cindy.

Felt good to pick it up a bit and move fast again!

Saw a front yard with "Go Broncos" painted on the melting snow. It was a good season, Broncos. We're still proud of ya here in Boulder.

Stomach flu. Stayed in my pj's all day until around 4 pm when I finally got my energy and appetite back so I showered and made Aaron take me to dinner.

I "picked up the pace" for one mile exactly. 6:30 and I was about to fall over. I was finally stopped in my tracks by what felt like a 60 MPH gust. I couldn't decide whether to cry or cheer for myself. I chose to cheer.

As it turns out I'm more of a binge poster than a daily diligent. Oh well. At least I'm running more this month than last. Looking forward to getting my fitness back and hopefully trimming a couple of inches off the soft midsection too. Slowly but surely.

Ran into my friend, Sarah whom I haven't seen in a couple of years out on S. Boulder creek path. It was fun to chat and see her again.

Drove to SLC yesterday to visit family for the weekend and see Aaron's parents before they leave for an LDS mission to France. 

Devra got me into the SLC track club 15K at Saltair so we could run together. We took it out pretty comfortably but then Devra wanted to catch a few ladies to earn some series points so she left me half-way and I picked it up a little too. Ended up averaging 6:40 pace for the 15K. Didn't feel like a "race effort" because I wasn't racing. But it definitely wasn't easy. Felt good to push my limits and get a solid workout in. Made me want to start training for races again!

Cooled down with Devra, Kassi, and Liis. Also met Andrea for the first time. Fun morning!

Nice and easy around my Mom's house in Layton before the drive back to Boulder. Legs were a little tired from Satruday's effort.

Nice lil' jaunt around devil's thumb in the 7 degree sunshine. Saw a Subaru nose down in Bear Creek with some firemen standing around scratching their heads. Maybe it was thirsty?

Met up with my fast runner friend Kristen for a nice, quicker paced run around S. Boulder creek path, golf course, bear creek, ect. It was awesome to catch up with her and run a little quicker than usual too; 10 miles in 75 minutes. Kristen is tapering for the LA Marathon next weekend so she needed an "easy short run" which is the same as my "long hard run." Perfect match!
