Woke up early this morning and man it was cold! My next door neighbor had just finished his run and boy was I jealous that I couldn't just walk into a warm house, my work had not been completed. One positive note, with it being so dark I couldn't see the inversion or the air that I was breathing. This time of year wreaks havoc on my lungs. This afternoon I did make it up City Creek Canyon for a quick run. I really pushed as hard as I could. I averaged a nine minute mile up the canyon which I feel pretty good about. It seems to be building strength and the downhill is helping to improve my feet turnover. Oh, another plus was that the air is clear up the canyon. These afternoon runs have been great! |
