Total Distance

16.50

I got a really good nights worth of sleep last night. Katey put in a movie and I was out like a rock! I woke up at about 8 this morning and the clouds were out and about. It made for a chilly day but that is life. I decided to go up and run on part of the Ogden Marathon course today. I am going to start doing this a little more to get me ready for running the race in May. I started at the Huntsville Cemetery and then went too Eden Park. This is the half way point of the Ogden Marathon. I took a short potty break and then came back towards Huntsville. Once I got back to Huntsville, I run back and forth on some of the streets in "downtown." I felt a little like James due to the crazy dogs barking at me. No problems or cool stories to report. Sorry! I wanted to push the pace but knew the cold weather was going to play a factor. I averaged 6:15/mile overall. My face was frozen and really pink. I got kind of cold and hurried back down too Ogden to hop in the shower and warm up. I am still working on my base until the end of the year and then will revamp with more speed work and tempo runs. Happy with another 100 mile week.

Logan, Great job on the miles!! I was wondering if the elevation charts on marathonguide.com are pretty acurate with the actual Ogden course? It looks like alot of rolling hills miles 8 - 18. How severe is the down hill from 18 in? Thanks.

Nice run today. I think I might have to do that run with you some time so you will have better stories to report. 6:15 average is cookin pretty good!
