Track workout! It is funny the whole way to the track I was going back and forth if I was even going to do this. But somehow I convinced myself. It had been a while. To the best of my searching since Nov 11th when I just went to test the new U track (at which time I did 8x4 Avg. 84). Today I only braved 6 bumped up from an initial plan for 4.

A frustrating and long day at work. Had to come back in and am glad I did. I had a very exhilarating trail run during one of my incubations. I only had one hour so I ran up Dry Creek which was again anything but dry. It was so wet there were portions I had to run in the creek. It was great feeling the ice cold water splashing up my legs. It was also great to pass some cyclists on my way up. Avg. 8:27 HR 153

| AM: Went to the Race for the Cure which was a combo Mother's Day and 5th B-day present. My little one ran no less than 2 mi of the full 5K distance. The other portions mommy carried her piggy back. She really enjoyed her first race experience but is feeling it today. Her legs are definitely sore. I ran a couple miles pushing my youngest to cheer on mommy and her big sister.

A typical Monday after a weekend of relaxation. Meaning too much to do, oh well.
My
legs were feeling flat as was the rest of me but I didn't want to scrap
a workout so I did one anyway. I need to start getting into a regular
workout schedule again if I want to move beyond just running again to
actually racing again.
2 mi easy warm-up: Avg. 7:54 HR 134 5K hard workout (Course tool prediction):
Mi 1: 5:31 HR 169 (5:30)
Mi 2: 5:38 HR 172 (5:40)
Mi 3: 5:59 HR 175 (5:51)
0.1 Mi: 0:40 HR 174 (0:44)
TOTAL: 17:47 Avg. 5:44 HR 162
Not
exactly a stellar workout but at least it was something. My legs were
feeling it and the major fall off in pace at least shows that I was
pushing. 1.5 mi medium cool-down around SugarHouse: Avg. 7:29 HR 155
2 mi easy cool-down back home: Avg. 8:23 HR 144 I really have to give it to Sasha. His course tool is amazing. So the workout was much more consistent than I thought. Still room for improvement but awhile ago I put this 5K in the course tool as my Adam's TT 5K. The predicted splits for even effort for my finish time of 17:47 are in bold above.

Very grumpy start to the day. Things got better as the day went on. Very happy about how my legs feel. Sore but no pain. Also, upon a closer look at my workout yesterday, I'm a bit happier about the effort. Though harder than I would have liked for the pace at least it was even over the distance. This morning was just a Mt. Calvary commute run. Avg. 9:32 HR 129 (NICE!) Total Ascent 1138 ft

A great ending to a rather dismal week.
Also, helped alleviate some of my spring fever. My plan going into work today
was to get there early (5:30am) and duck out for a run with a hard mile. By the
time I finally got out (almost noon) I opted to flip-flop my mileage plans for
Fri/Sat and just really enjoy the midday run.
I had a ~2mi warm-up to the Fire House
and then hit a FF (Friday Fire House mile). I would say it was about 95% effort
but had a head wind the entire time.
5:15.7
HR 177 Descent 183ft
After that I continued down to the City
Creek gate, stopped for water (it was nearly 80F) and then headed up to the
water treatment plant. When I got there the plan was to turn around and push a
5K. I did not look at my pace a single time during the run and just went off of
feel. My plan for the first mile was push at half marathon effort. It was nice
and the adrenaline got going and I even got some cheering from people out
hiking and riding so I started pushing it a little harder the second two miles.

| Not enough sleep but that is becoming the typical weekend to Monday transition... Tonight's run was great though. The weather was the perfect temp. I went for loops of SugarHouse with the intent of pushing three of them. During the 3rd loop I noticed a runner up ahead so I pushed out a 4th loop to catch him. It was great to really feel the competitive juices flowing again. During that loop I even broke 6 min to pass the guy. (Mi 7; 5:59; HR 183) if even just barely. The nice thing about the run was that only the mile back up to Foothill was over 7:00 and that one was still a 7:12. Overall a very encouraging run. Avg. 6:24 HR 174 Total Ascent 1221ft Descent 1180ft Incidentally, that was the same pace as my 2002 Chicago, thought it sure felt a lot harder than marathon pace...

A very relaxing very beautiful Dry Creek run. Went back into lab then headed up the creek. It was so full of water there were sections that I had to have more than 40 strides before I was on dry land again. I then continue along the shoreline trail to the turn off toward Little Black I continued another mile up until my 5 mi turnaround. It was sunset the entire way out and dusk the entire way back. Nearly pitch black by the time I hit the car so I couldn't have timed it better. Did have fun playing leap frog with a few cyclists. Avg. 9:00 HR 152 TOTAL Ascent: 2183 ft (493ft in mi 5 alone)

| I've gotten away with not working weekends that often, but with a number of meetings looming in the next few weeks I had to come in today. Good news is that I was able to then do a run to City Creek. I did one mile warm-up/cool-down with the middle 10 mi hard. It was a nice day and a nice run.

| Happy Memorial Day. Had planned a trail run with a friend from work but because of the below freezing windchill and SNOW on the ground did a different run on my own. Ran from work down into Memory Grove and back on 3rd. Avg. 8:43 HR 130 Ascent 1479ft

| Work is starting to hammer me again. Between two talks and a poster to present in June I have three trips in the next 8wk! Very different than my normal schedule. At least one trip is non-work... As part of my stress relief and as a confidence builder for the half coming up (June 11th!!!). I did the exact same run as yesterday but today I hammered the Firehouse and Memory Grove miles with ~.75 mi rest in between. My main goal being to negative split the second with a hoop dream of having both under 5min. ~2 mi warm-up
Fire House 5:09.8 HR 175 Ascent 30ft Descent 210ft
Memory Grove 5:00.8 HR 176 Ascent 22ft Descent 209ft Overall happy with the run. Only thing sore is my calves. Another busy work day tomorrow we'll see how some rest goes. Avg. 7:16 HR 161
