5.14 miles at work outside. The Snake River Plain is beautiful in the winter, and the few days that its roads are runnable are very enjoyable indeed!


Nothing in the PM, Ellie didn't want me to go :)

I was originally planning on doing this workout outside today, but last night's rain, and the fact that I live in Southeast Idaho, kept me indoors today. Better not to risk a bad slip on black ice out far away from civilization (lots of farm roads out here). Considering it was in the 50s this afternoon, it probably was safe so darn!

1 mile warm up, then 15 miles 7:48/mi pace (I set the treadmill at a slightly faster pace, although I suspect it was still easier than doing the real thing, I also did about 2/3 of the workout at a 1% incline to get the 500ish feet elevation gain that I usually get on the planned route. Didn't give myself the luxury of the associated descent.), all followed by a 1 mile cooldown. 

For my last 6 or 7 long runs I've actually been taking regular old clif bars with me, and it works great. I also find it more pleasant than gels, but maybe in a race it's still better to go with the soft stuff. Does anybody have insight to share on this? (I'm not actually sure anybody reads my blog, but no harm in putting the question out there)
