Turned out to be a much nicer run than I was anticipating.  The weather cooperated until the last couple of miles.  So much easier to do these runs with some good company.  Thanks Jake and Adam RW. 

Happy April Fools day! 

10.2 total miles probably around 7:30 pace.  Enjoyable route.

30 minutes on the bike before bed very easy

Cooled down for another 3 miles.

Beautiful day.

6 very easy miles this morning, 8:35 average pace

Went out in the afternoon for an easy jog but had some discomfort under my left kneecap. Never had this before.  Not awful pain but noticeable, I stopped after about half a mile and went home and iced it.  

Good reminder to stretch and do the necessary leg strengthening exercises.

Woke up and jogged 1.25 miles to make sure my knee wasn't hurting.  No sign of pain so I was very happy.  I've decided I must force myself to go lift weights with my legs twice a week and stretch daily.  I neglect to do those things far too often. Jing was very generous to sacrifice her sleep to take me to the start of the race at East Canyon. 

It was very cold this morning, I ended up wearing gloves and a t-shirt over my race singlet and bib number.  The race was supposed to start at 8:30 but was closer to 8:50.  More people were there then I expected, I thought the cold may deter more people from arriving. 

I started the race and was happy to see Adam RW with his cute kids cheering me on, the first 2 miles are fairly challenging.  My splits were 6:24 for the first and 6:46 for the second.  As I came over the hill, I was pleasantly surprised to see Fritz there waiting for me.  He was doing a training run for the Salt Lake Marathon and he helped me keep a decent pace during the remainder of the run.  Thank you Fritz! You helped me stay focused. 

Splits after the most challenging portion of the run were

5:28, 5:04, 5:19, 5:24, 5:31, 5:26, 5:30, 5:12.

Total time for the 10 miles was 56:04. Did a 1.25 mile cooldown after the race.

Fun race! I won $50 to Ruth's diner so it was worth hanging around afterwards.

My parents showed up to the finish, big thanks to them and Jing.

Short term goal is to cross train more, hit the weights to strengthen my legs as well as stretch daily and use my foam roller.  Lots to improve.  I also need to do a 12-15 mile run at least once every 2 weeks. 

3.1 easy miles around the neighborhood after dinner to loosen up

4 miles before work, more great weather. Legs were working lots better today

 

Met Jake and Andrea at Highland High and did a lap around the park.  Andrea had a 5K tempo planned and I ran with her.  We were right at 6 minute pace.  It was a great workout, thanks for letting me join! Cooled down for a couple more laps.  Total of 6.1 miles

Left from the Park and Ride lot on Wasatch Boulevard and about 6400 South, headed north to Milcreek Canyon.  Ran 2.5 miles up the canyon and then headed back.  Very beautiful morning, it was peaceful going up the canyon, I didn't see anyone for about 20 minutes.  Soaked up the scenery that I far too often ignore. 

Did a couple of surges on the way back. Was glad I got in a longer effort this morning

Easy day.

Watched the SL Half and Marathon at Liberty Park. Fun seeing some familiar faces, especially when they're running well.  I'm excited to run the half next year.  

Played golf with my dad and my brother Daniel.  Perfect weather, was fun to get some of the rust off of my clubs!

6.2 mile easy fartlek run this morning, jogging portion was about 7:45 pace and surges were 5:15 pace.  My little bro Daniel decided to tag along, he did great. Always nice to see my bros when they can escape Provo in between semesters.

AM-

Spent Friday evening in Midway.  Got up early for a jog into Heber and returned the same way.  Did 7:20 average pace going into town and 6:20 average coming back.  Did a few pickups on the way back too.  Shins are starting to feel a bit better, I'm not worried to run anymore but will probably keep mileage around 30-35 next week just to be safe.

8.3 total miles

PM-

Headed back out for an afternoon stroll. 3.5 miles at 7:15 pace then managed 5:14 for a mile and cooled down for .5.

5 miles
