Tempo. Met up with John and we ran 2 miles to the trailhead to meet up with the rest of our runners. We ran 7:30's but it sure felt like we already started our tempo. I did another warm up mile with the group and then I took off. I planned to do 3 mile tempo but quit after 2 miles. It was so cold and my knee was hurting. My two tempo miles were 7:10 and 7:03. The next mile was a little slower and the last 3 miles was just around 8's. First speed work session of the new year. My tempo paces for a 3:05 marathon is 6:35 to 6:50 pace. I have plenty of time to work up to that pace. I need to start out easy and not over do it too soon. When I got in the shower I noticed cold burns all over my body. I was double and triple covered!

ran the virgin river trails with Elijah and the younger kids followed on their bikes. We went from home to the cottonwood cove park and back. We made a pit stop at jack in the box.
