Kayla needed to crosstrain today so I went with and hopped on the treadmill and got an easy 10 in. Felt good.

Plus here is a funny blog from a pro distance runner titled "Meet My Boyfriend, Track"

Met Jon Bret Ken and Riley at the WalMart on 21st and ran into downtown Ogden. Roads were slick and icy but we were still able to maintain an average pace of 7:30.

So on a side note, over the weekend I was offered and accepted to be a member of Skechers GoRun Team Elite. So for 2014, I will be running for Skechers. Really pumped for the opportunity.

PM: 6.1 with Jace and Riley in Layton not a slick as this morning.

Another calf problem. Did the first interval just fine. 10:15 for two miles felt very comfy. The stop seemed to taighten my calf. .5 mile into my second interval my calf started to cramp. I just stopped and got a massage. Feeling a little bummed. Going to keep my fitness by cross training.

Spent the rest of this week cross training. Havent blogged cause I have been a bit down and bummed out with this calf injury. Made a decision to refocus and cross train my butt off and hopefully I will be back at it soon enough and I wont have lost much fitness. Been doing some intervals on the spin bike and eliptical. I wil back and more diligent on here. New Year, New Goals, Refocused energy. Everybody loves the chance to start over fresh.
