Jake and I moved our time up to 5:30 to allow me to get to work earlier. It's amazing how warm it felt compared to last week, even after yesterday's snowstorm. We headed up to Wasatch and out to the Shoreline trail, then turned around. There were several spots where we were trudging through snow, but it was a beautiful morning to be out. My left AT squawked a little whenever we ran through the snow, so I definitely need to get back to my routine of doing toe raises twice a day and stretching throughout the day. I'm trying to decide whether the Grand Slam is going to be in the cards this year or not. I think my best chance of dipping under 2:30 is to get several months of solid base in my legs before moving to more specific training (the first couple of months post-St. George have been well below expectations due to the hamstring issue, then the AT issue, followed by an ill-timed vacation and the crush of lots of year-end deals at work. Besides that, spring and summer are looking pretty busy on the family front. In other words, I probably shouldn't even be considering the Slam, but part of me can't let it go just yet.
