Out bright and early with Kim and Kay on a plenty nippy morning (20 degrees?) but luckily we had good gear and the canyon wind was mostly non-existent. 

Later to the gym for around 30 min XT + core.

Speed work Tuesday.  Working at home so Kim and I waited until just before lunch to let it warm up a bit and melt the ice off the roads.

Ran 7 x 1/2 mile repeats with 3 min jog rests.  Schedule called for 6 to 8 and it would have been nice to get the 8 but the last 3 got tough and the end of 6 I got all those lovely nausea & GI distress signals that say I better get to a bathroom quick! Even so I'm pretty happy with the workout.

Ran the same route as the mile repeats last week that gives us just a touch of downhill and sometimes a tailwind.  Some wind today but not as strong as last week.  Also a few wet spots on the roads and shoes/socks ended up getting pretty soaked.

Splits/HR info: 3:10/164, 3:06/175, 3:04/180, 3:04/183, 3:04/184, 3:04/185, 3:01/186

Overall: 7:29/171 max HR 193

Nice Saturday morning with the usual gang. Cloud with light snow but not much wind and not too cold so actually a pretty nice morning for a run. Most miles in the 8-8:30 pace range.
