Long run this morning on the treadmill - 16.0 miles.  Felt pretty rough today.  Had to slow the pace several times just to get into a relaxed comfortable pace, then picked it back up.  Decided not to do the full 20 miles today - after running a little over 2 hours I decided that it was enough.

Easy 7.0 mile recovery run from Carillon at lunchtime past the dump and around the Val-Pak lake twice.  Probably the nicest weather day we have had all year.  Sunny and 70 degrees.  Felt very comfortable during the run, but noticed that I felt very tired when I was in the gym stretching afterwards.

PM - lunchtime workout on the treadmill.  2 mile w/up; 5 x 1000 @ 5:43 mile pace w/ 2:00 recovery; 6 x 400 @ 78 w/ 3:00 recovery; 2 mile c/d.  This was a very good workout for me today.  I cannot recall too many recent workouts where I felt as much of a sense of accomplishment as I did with this one today.

Easy 5 miles on the treadmill at the Canyons in Park City before a day of skiing. Looking forward to a long run tomorrow outside with Rob.

AM - Had a very nice 16.0 mile run this morning with Rob in Utah who took me from a few minutes outside Park City up through East Canyon and then down through Emigration Canyon to his home in Salt Lake City (he will let me know if I got my navigation and names correct).  Tough going at the start with strong winds and snow up the 4 mile climb at unfamiliar elevations - but he assured me the run down through the canyon would be good with a downslope and the wind at our backs - which thankfully turned out to be the case.  A little rain toward the end, but great conversation and a decent pace (at least for me - probably slow for him) had us finishing up just in time for a dish of pancakes served up by his gracious wife Ann.
