Had planned to get out yesterday, but Cheryl got the stomach bug, so I was stuck taking care of the baby most the day. Got out today though which was good. Wore the garmin just to see where my pace was at. Wanted to get a good workout without pushing it hard. Ended with a 7:11 av/mile. Felt like I was running a lot slower than that. Hopefully that's a good thing. Loving the weather still. January 4th and I ran with a t-shirt and shorts, we could use some moisture however.

Went out for a real nice run today. Just over 8 miles. There's a trail system now that's been extended out behind the dikes now. Makes for a real enjoyable loop. The further I got into my run the smoother and stronger I felt. Didn't push hard and ended up with a 7:03 av/mile. Real confidence booster today.

So I was driving toward the Providence Center yesterday and saw a runner that I didn't recognize at first. Did I see some facial hair? Maybe a mustache and more-- or just forgetting to shave? Looks good! And I knew it was you because you're only one of a few people around here (including the awesome SUU cross country guys) who moves that fast.

From Stew on Thu, Feb 02, 2012 at 20:15:39 from 205.125.8.117

Yeah I've decided to grow the facial hair for now, hopefully it makes me look a little manlier. Starting to get back into the swing of things with running which is nice.

10.15 today. Just a nice easy jog the whole way. Hard to pick up the pace when I had to dodge snow most the time. Happy with my mileage this week. Going out of town tomorrow so no run. Big goal for next week: some sort of speed/tempo workout.

Good day today. 7 miles total w/3 miles of tempo. Total time was 17:16 ( 5:45 av/mile) splits were 5:51, 5:47. 5:38. Was pleasantly surprised with the results today. I haven't really done any speed in almost 6 months, so this was a good indicator of the possibilities of some solid miles this year. I just need to keep focused and keep getting out.

Speed workout on the track today. Weather was nice but a bit chilly. Plan was 1x1600M, 2x800M, and 4x400M. Times were 5:35, 2:38, 2:35, 1:11, 1:12, 1:11, 1:10. Nice to see there's still some good turnover in these legs. I actually feel the strongest I've felt for this early in the season. When I was at the track an SUU woman's runner came over and asked if I was training for something, because she couldn't imagine any normal person out doing that by themselves, haha. Looking forward to some good weather the next few days.

Spectrum 10K today. I don't have my garmin on me so I don't have splits. Ran this course a whole minute faster 2 years ago, but we had a strong head wind blowing most the way. Also I ran the whole way on my own practically. I either run to slow to keep up with whose ever in front or to fast to have the people behind me stay up I guess, who knows? Either way it was tough to beat that wind the whole way. I had a guy come up close at the last mile and I just tried to gun it home. Anyways. Not a bad race but not a great one.

Nice work out there Garrett! I didn't mind the headwind so much on the downhill, but I was also anticipating 30-40mph winds. Awe inspiring pace, especially for slow pokes like myself!
