So the snow storm that we got over here in the valley closed down all of the roads so we couldn't go down and race at the Olympic Oval on saturday.

Today was 3 miles of hills so after a mile warmup we went to the block that we always do our intervals on. Each side of the block was .15 so we would go hard on the hilly side of the block. Jog the flat part then hard and easy again. We went like 5 and a half laps around the block to get our 3 miles of hills. We did a cool down of 2 miles to finish it off. I felt good after that workout. I was breathing hard and felt tired but not enough that I'm going to be dead for tomorrow.

Later did 3 on the treadmill. First 2 miles were about 6:25 and last mile just kept increasing the speed until the final half mile was at 5:00. Then did some arms and a ton of core training.

Today was 7 miles easy so we went to Providence starting at Zollinger Park. We went up to the Temple and to Logan Canyon. Then we went down mainstreet and no one had shoveled their sidewalks so we had to take a detour with all the snow slowing us down. Then we finished at Zollinger Park.

I had a doctors appointment so I had to run later today. I went down to Riverheights and down to Merlin Olsen Park. Then headed down towards the canyon till I got to the Laub's house then turned around. It was supposed to be 7 miles at 6:20 pace but I got carried away and did a 6:05 pace instead. Hopefully that doesn't hurt me for tomorrow's workout. I saw both Logan and USU out running so it most be a popular route I guess.

Today we did Hollow Road with intervals. After a mile warmup we would go hard for .25 then easy .25. We repeated this all the way to the top of the Nibley Dip. Then an easy mile cool down to finish. Our hard ended up being 4:50-5:15 pace.

Later that night I did 2 miles on the treadmill. Along with some core and legs.

Today we just did 6 easy miles with a long hill run comming up tomorrow. We did the McDonald Loop and Lincoln and then just went back the same way we come. Felt nice today and the weather wasn't freezing like usual.

Ran the Millville Loop with a little extra to reach 8. We were running a little under 6:30 and pushing it up the hills to average 6:30 pace. Felt good and it's finally warm outside!
