It was raining hard this morning so I ran indoors on my treadmill. This was my first run in a while. I am just getting back into the swing of things. I ran a total of 5.6 miles in 54 minutes. I am planning on getting back into a regular running routine. I will be running in the Striders Winter Racing Circuit and training for the Ogden Marathon in May. I was excited to find this blog site to post my runs to and log my miles.

Beautiful  morning. I woke up to 3 inches of fresh snow. The snow created a soft cushion for my joints. Run time: 41:16

Tempo Run. Today was my first day since I got back into running that I did some fast miles. I did a 20 Min warmup, then fast for 1 mile, a 2 minute jog, fast for another mile, and a 20 minute warmdown. The second fast mile was easier than the first. Run time: 58:26

10 miles, 83 min. Today was my first long run since getting back into running regularly. My goal for the week was to run every day and I did it. Today's run put me just over 30 miles for the week. Not quite as many miles as I was hoping for, but it is a good start.
