8.75 trail miles in 1:33. I'm questioning whether I will be able to adjust to trail running. 8.75 miles seems a small return on investment for over an hour and a half of hard running. I don't like doing 14 minute miles.

PM: 2 mile walk. push-ups/sit/ups and busted out the ab roller.

DPX2 Loop with my boys at our athletics practice. Chilly, rainy/snowy mix. Perfect temps.

Morning Madness!

Up at 4 am, coffee, out the door at 4:30, bunch of laps around Sugar House Park at 8:05 pace which is about all I can manage in the early cold darkness, saw 2 deer (wierd), and back home.

Enjoying my Wheaties with blueberries now and watching the Morning Joe crew try to sort out the presidential election mess. 

PM: Easy jogging and stair climbing behind Timpview HS in Provo, Ut.

I did a track workout this afternoon...

2.25 mile warm-up and then 10 x 200 meters in 40, 39, 39, 37, 38, 36, 36, 34, 34, and 30.60 seconds on the last one. I was trying so hard to break 30 on the last one and was not happy. Next time I'll wear spikes or at least racing flats instead of clunky training shoes.

That 30.60 is an age-graded 26.19 though :-)

I have a motivated young runner on the blog now named Brandon Reich. Feel free to congratulate him on his awesomeness.
