4 miles avg 7:20 pace

10 miles with 4 x 1 mile repeats with 2 lap recovery.  Met Melody, Emily, Josse and Rebecca at the BYU indoor track.  My 4 x 1 mile repeat times were 5:59, 5:59, 5:59, and 6:04.  I set my watch to beep each lap at 6 min pace and I finished righ on the first three.  The first two felt good, the third was harder and the fourth I couldn't keep the pace.  Overall I felt a lot better than when I first did these two weeks ago, so that was encouraging. 

10 miles avg 6:58.  Met Emily for an 8 mile tempo run, that turned into 6 for me and 7 for her.  We warmed up 2 miles then ran 1 mile up Provo Canyon (6:42) and back down along Univ Ave to Will's (6:19, 6:25, 6:22) turned around a little past Will's (6:33) this was where Emily pulled ahead of me, and back up towards our cars (7:07). I "quit" about 1/2 way through this mile.  Emily kept up a fast pace for 7 miles then came back to get me for a cool down.  I wish I would have kept it up for 8 miles, but something about being in pain takes a lot of the fun out of running.

4 miles avg 7:08 pace.  Sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups.

21 miles with Melanie B avg 7:16 pace.  We met Kim and her friend Shondie (spelled wrong, I'm sure) for 12 of the middle miles.  Only 17 degrees outside. 

At the dinner table the night before my son commented on how fast the temperature was dropping saying, "When I went out to kick the football at 4:00 it was (certain temperature) and when I came back in it was (another temperature) and when I went back out at 5:30 it was __ and now it's __.  If it keeps dropping like this it'll be negative 50 tomorrow morning."  I said. "I hope it doesn't go lower than 28 because that's my comfort level for running," and my husband said, "That's a pretty cold comfort level."
