Taking advantage of the great snow this weekend.  9 miles of crosscountry skiing from green canyon up to Tonys Grove.  Great workout, but pretty cold.  It's been real nice to have taken a break from the running for a bit.  Since I missed two scheduled races and could offer no appreciable reason to Brooks, I was dropped from as a sponsored runner.  Can't really decide how I feel about that since I can't stand their uniforms and have never worn one in a race anyways.  It was nice to get shoes for free and races paid for also, but it's true that I havn't been much in the mood for racing for a few months.  Its just more fun to run for the heck of it for a bit.

4 miles just for fun in Boston. Just finished reading John Adams and it made me love this city even more than I already did.

Nice long easy run in Austin, TX.  Ran along Town Lake and back up the half marathon course.  Way humid day but great to be out running in 70 degree weather.

Came down to Salt Lake for a family visit and decided to try out this distance and get an idea of where my winter fitness stands.  I got my butt kicked!  No real speed training at this distance and some weeks off really showed. 

A bit windy, but a great day for a run.  I felt like I could run around 5:37 pace so I held 5:35 almost exactly the first 4 miles with Dennis and Jamal breaking the wind for us.  Good pacing but I felt like I could not breath!  I let off to just under a 6 minute pace for the rest of the race, which left me feeling like crap for the whole race but let me recover.  Average about 5:48 pace.  Not the way any decent runner runs a race!  It was a good run to gauge where my threshold currently is.  Now its time to get some training in!
