Well, yesterday was crazy and there was just no way to get a run in.  We worked from 6:00am to 10:00pm at the Salt Palace, and I was very grumpy by the end of the day.  I told my crew to not come in until 8:00 today, they thought I was being nice but really I just wanted to get a run in today.  Yesterdays run called for an 18 miler with 12 at MP.  Today's replacement run was 16 miles and an 8 mile MP run on the Downtown SLC Marriott treadmill.  I actually had time to get 18 in but a guy got on the treadmill next to me that really needed deodorant, and when your trying to run a tempo run bad smells are just not good,  Plus I wanted time to go jump in the pool and hot tub.  I'm OK with the run, we probably walk about 12 - 13 miles a day at work so I don't want to end up getting hurt.

16 miles in 1:49:30.  6:50 total avg pace.     8 mile tempo was in 51:15 6:24 avg.

I figure it's March, I have 3 weeks of hard training left, it's about time to start weaning myself from the treadmill.  It's done a fabulous job getting me back in shape but now it's time to hit the ground running :-).

Started at 4:30 am, decided to wear shorts, I did wear compression socks to keep my shins warm though, no one likes cold shins.  Ran from the Marriott up to the U, up Sunnyside to the Zoo and then basically just followed the last 10 miles of the Des. News course.  It was really hard, very nice morning but really cold running up Sunnyside into a cold headwind.  I was pretty hammered by the end, and glad it was done.

15 miles in 1:52:43 7:30 avg pace.

OK, I'll stop running on treadmills after this conference is over :)

10 miles slow, except the last one I ran in 6:12 and defeated the whole purpose of my first 9 recovery miles.

This workout was really hard and I probably should have skipped it, work is tearing me up this week.  Very long hours, and lots of stress.   Scott Keate came and found me and said hi which was cool, I was walking around with my boss who came to see what I do for a living so I couldn't talk to Scott much, I asked if he was going to the Concert and he said no he had to wake up at 5:00am to go running.  Maybe that's why he's faster than me cause I went to the concert and woke up at 4:15 to go running.

5 miles in 41:10 8:14 avg pace, Followed by an "LT" Tempo run.

7 miles in 44:28 6:21 avg pace.  I wanted it to be faster but I was seriously just beat up and didn't think it was a good idea.  6:20 pace was hard enough.

Nice spring morning run this morning. We got done with the conference from Hell last night and I got to come home and sleep in my own bed.  Slept in until 6:30, put on my trail running shoes, shorts and a long sleeve T.  ran my original 10 miler out around the Highland Smiths and back, I ran on gravel the entire way, the new Murdock trail is really nice cause they put in a horse/trail runner lane the entire way. I figured it would be muddy with patches of snow, but it was pretty dry the entire way.  Pretty easy pace just enjoying myself and pleased to be on break for a while.

Long miserable run with Ryan and Jeff through Lehi, American Fork, Cedar Hills and Highland. We had cold, we had hills, and lots and lots and lots if wind. The only thing that made it better for me was knowing I wasn't quite as miserable as Ryan :)

Glad to get it done, and glad to have my longest Pre-marathon run in the bag.
