Went to the gym and ran. Someday I'll be brave and go outside and run. Was feeling yuck (throat is sore, and head is swimming a little) at the start, so told myself to go 4 miles. Looking back after the run I should have gone 5 or 6 but I had it in my head to go 4.
So I thought I would see how my pace per mile looked on a per lap basis. So, it takes 6 and a fifth laps for one mile, but I just looked at the pace ongoing for each lap.

So, not to bad. I would like to put together more 7 min miles.
Have a great day!
Oh, who is running Spectrum? I am, I talked Kelly and her friend Wendy into running.
Went to the gym again. I know I should go outside, and on Saturdays when I have others to go with I go outside, but when I'm by myself I don't like the cold more.
Ran into a old mission friend. He started his mission just a month before me, and served in the same area's a couple times. I think whenever I feel bad about my sitsuation I will recall what he is going through. In 2007 he and his wife found out that she has Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease". She is mentally just fine, but she is watching her body just totally fall apart. She is on a special breathing thing that forces air into her lungs, she can exhale, but has lost most use of her body. (arms, legs, body). They have 3 girls 18 down to 9.
Ran at the gym again. It will be interesting to see how my speed is when I go outside. The track is flat and smooth, and there is no wind.
Will work on the distance tomorrow. Planning on meeting everyone at the bridge and the JRP in Lehi. Hope the weather is ok. I think I will go no matter what.
Went to the Jordan River Parkway trail today. Met Kelli and Scott and Rachel, and Smooth. I talked Kelly and her friends Wendy and Deb and Connie in coming too. I had to leave early so I got there a little early and ran 4 miles before everyone got there. Was raining at first but cleared and was nice.
Glad I got the extra miles in prior.
Was nice to see everyone! I'm looking forward to spring/summer when I can get more miles in outside. I know I shouldn't let the little cold bother me but I do and I don't get a lot of miles in durring the week.
