10.2 miles easy on solid ice with Ben and Bryant, avg pace 7:53/mile. The rail trail was 100% black ice, not a dry spot to be found. It was more of a shuffle than a run at times.

I woke up feeling sick to my stomach, but I met Bryant and Ben anyway. After a couple miles it was clear that I had some type of stomach bug, so I quit the run and went home and slept all day.

LONG WARMUP, 15 MINUTES TEMPO @ MP, 10X60 SECOND HILLS

I met Bret, Jared, Jon, and Steve at Kneaders in Ogden. I ran the first 8.5 miles with them, catching up with Jon and Steve, who we haven't run with in awhile. Then I did my workout. 15 minutes at 5:21/mile pace on a hilly route, 5 minutes rest, and then 10x60 second hills at 5:10/mile pace. Strava had the GAP (grade-adjusted pace) at a 4:02/mile pace average, so some good pushes up the hills.
