Gotta be up in SLC all day for work so got to the gym early for a fine treadmill workout. Must have been brain-dead I forgot most my gear and also the breakfast I had put together last night to bring with me to eat after the run. Luckily the gym has loaner gear (if you don't mind looking like a dork) and I got some food at the cafe at work so all was well.

After 2 mile warmup did 4 x 1 mile @ just-faster-than-5K-pace with 1/2 mile jog rests in between. Workout was OK, always seems like speed work is a easier on the treadmill and you're cheating a bit but it sure beat trying to do it in frigid temps and gunky air. Did first mile around 6:20 then sped up each mile finishing the last one in just under 6.

Six in the early morning. Around 25 degrees which feels warm this year.

Got out around noon and enjoyed a nice run in the sun minus the smog. Around 30-35 degrees but with the unfiltered sun if felt warmer. Too bad we only get these days once in a blue moon in between inversion-land and the next storm.

Definitely tough to get these longs runs in on these cold, stormy and sometimes slick-road mornings. But we got it done albeit at a very leisurely but sometimes still difficult pace. Started out with a good sized group but it was mostly Doug and Kim and I for the last half of the run.
