Unlike Salt Lake during the winter months, Cedar City has beautiful clear skies and rarely experiences an inversion. This makes it very enjoyable to go running outside even in the winter! Because it is President's Day today I didn't have class, so I decided to go for a run outside. It was PERFECT weather! I loved every minute of it! Running on treadmills just doesn't compare to being outside in beautiful nature! I went with my good friend Ali, who is an awesome runner! It was such a blast going with her and chatting about life. The hour went by so fast for the both of us! I think it is safe to say that I am beginning to get some very early spring fever. I know spring doesn't officially start until March, but I can hope for good weather until then right?
I'm starting to train for a half marathon in April, so I need to work on building up my endurance. every other week I increase my long runs by one mile. This week I ran 5 miles which would've been a breeze for me this fall, but since I let myself fall out of shape this winter, it will take a few weeks to get back into the swing of things. Hopefully the weather stays great so I can stay motivated and continue to train!
