Ran 2.5 miles with my younger brother. He's had two open-heart surgeries, so it's awesome that he's interested in running, and I'm proud of him for running as much as he does. He told me he wants to run a marathon with me next summer, and I told him if he's serious about it I will. I worry about him a little, especially with recent events like Ryan Shay's death, although his doctors have cleared him for "all activities." He's a good kid, and he made today's run in the wind a lot more enjoyable.

I promised myself that I wouldn't miss days this season, but I didn't get to it yesterday on Christmas. Running on vacation is always difficult, but these little details are important for improvement.

1600m Time Trial:    4:42

Laps:

1 - 67

2 - 75 (2:22)

3 - 73 (3:35)

4 - 67 (4:42)

The finish time looks a little weak, but there were good things about this time trial. For a cold and breezy day, I felt good about the whole thing. Temperatures were about 33 F, and 5-10 mph winds on the track.

The first lap felt great, I thought I was going to run low 4:30's, but I slowed on the second and third laps without realizing it. So the last lap I picked it up and kicked it in, and I felt like I had enough in the tank to run several seconds faster if I could get the kinks out.

So things are good for where I'm at in my training. I'm adjusting my goals to sub-9 for the 3000m at BYU, assuming they'll let me come run. The next semester is going to be a bear, so I'm worried about training. Squeezing in the workouts will be tough.

I'm getting tired of the winds around here. 20 mph winds made this run a whole lot harder than it should have been. I would rather run in 10 degrees and 5 inches of snow than what I went through today..... it was a painful 12 miles.

Got a break from the wind today and had a nice run in the rain over one of my old courses.
