6 miles @ 9:10/mi pace. Murdock Canal South to Will's with Paul. I felt slow and the 9/mi pace seemed harder thatn it should have been. Did sub 8 coming up the hill from Will's. That felt good.

Quick 4 miles @ 8:34/mi pace. Solo South on Murdock Canal Trail to 800 looping back on 400 East. Temps were cold @ 38 degrees (at 8am), but I was well dressed for it. Kinda sad to have it feeling like winter. Overcast skies. Didn't make it out yesterday but just had to get a few miles in.

4.2 miles @ 9:02/mi pace. Murdock Canal Bowtie catching the hill on 400 N Lindon and the 2000 North hill to 400 E then down to THS and back. Super cold at 23 degrees. I was pretty well dressed for it but would have worn warmer pants had I known it was that cold.

4.1 miles @ 9:10/mi pace. South on Murdock Canal to 800 N to 400 E then back. Solo on a cold and windy morning. Felt sluggish even tho' pace wasn't too bad. Was glad to be out by mile 2 but was kinda regretting it in the first half mile. W/O Paul in the early morning, it is harder to get out at 5:30am. Run was shorter because I ran later and didn't have as much time. Temps were at 28 degrees but felt colder with the wind.

5.5 miles @ 9:58 pace. Murdock Canal North Loop thru Lindon solo. Ran with Martin Wright for about a mile before he left cause I couldnt hang with his 7:03/mi pace. I was super tired and should have just slept in but thought Paul was going to join me after a week and a half hiatus. Temps were cold but manageable.

4.3 miles @ 9:16/mi pace. Murdock Canal bowtie taking the Lindon horse trail up to 400 E Lindon. Solo in cold sunnyish weather. HR a little high because of the hills I guess. Felt slow and tired but I think it was largely due to the cold.
