| Progressive pace run on the treadmill with incline. Paces of 5:52, 5:40, 5:36, 5:30, 5:21, 5:09. 1-1.5% incline. Started to really feel the pace on the last mile. Probably more in the Vo2 max area but will still count it as threshold because of the overall nature of the workout. Good run but not as fresh as it could be. Darkhorse out.. |

| Easy six miles at 65-75% mhr. Most at 6:40-7:00/mile. Indoor track at Syracuse rec center. Some lady really made my day when she asked me if I was a professional marathon runner. I said no but thanks anyway. She said but your so fast! I thought it but didn't tell her out of modesty that this was a slow recovery day for me! Guess I better slow down on my recovery days a bit more.. Darkhorse out. |

| Easy 6 miler again through the neighborhood. Next week is looking bad for training with my work schedule being the yo-yo that it is. Back to back over night shifts. Yikes!! No choice but roll with it unfortunately I guess. I'm determined to PR this year and I will not be denied! LOL.. Darkhorse out. |

| Progressive run at the Syracuse track. Track was crowded with people so I finished on the treadmill with splits of 5:42, 5:36, 5:30, 5:26, 5:19. Even effort gradually applied over the run. |

| Tough 8 mile tempo run at the track today with beginning miles in 5:38 all the way down to 5:16 for the last one today. 13 miles total. Some stiffness and a tight IT band this morning but other than that, nothing to worry about. I noticed a measurable rise in my threshold however as I was hitting a 165-168 bpm heart rate actually toward the end. I really did not feel like I was carrying the bear on my back yet. Encouraging... Darkhhorse out. |

Easy 5 miles on the treadmill today. Short but at a good clip. 6:44/mile avg pace. Soft treadmill deck which felt like a woodchip trail. Nice.. Darkhorse out. |

Steady state run on rolling hills with 15 min on, 15 min off. Alternatating MP effort at 5:40ish pace with 6:30ish effort. Varying pace depending on the grade. Very nice weather today which was a big boon to my spirit after a long snowy winter. Good strong effort and performance today hitting all my miles where I wanted them to be at. Downhill section at the end was especially good, hitting 5:30s and not feeling strained. Can't wait for Ogden or Salt Lake this year. Tough choice, glory or possible take home pay.. I could sure use it right now with my shoes down to their skin!

| Marathon pace practice run on the SLC marathon course this afternoon. Wow ! can you believe the weather today! It almost had me fooled into thinking it was Spring.. Decided to wear shorts and on my up met my Dad. He took one look at me and said; Do you anything other than work and run? Hmm, like maybe eat once in a while? Yeah I said, Sleep.. for a few minutes a day that is. Like I always say, What ever does not make you strong will only make you sick right? Thankfully a day of rest tomorrow. Darkhorse out.. |

| Easy 8 miles at 7.min per mile pace on the JRT 65-70% mhr. Very easy pace in anticipation of the 15k this Saturday. Not sure what to expect and it also cost me dearly at work to get the day off so I hope we all have a decent race this weekend. It will be a good test to see where strengths and weaknesses are.

| Medium long run today, some days I just don't know the meaning of easy I guess. Things felt really good today so I kicked on the afterburners at the end coming up from the JRT. Pickups in pace the last six miles or so with a timed half mile at the end in 2:26 on a slight uphill. Total time: 1:18:40 for 12 miles. Darkhorse out.. |

| Easy ten miles on the trail today, this time it was so easy I could have ran it backwards! 10 miles at 7:30-8:00/mile pace. Very hungry and broke, so afterwards I bought a package of day old gooey donuts and ate all six in one sitting!! Probably worth 2000 plus calories I'm sure. Its all carbs anyway right? LOL..Oh, but I feel better now! Darkhorse out.. |

Well, not as fast as last year but gee I wonder why... not really, I know why. No excuses from me except for the fact I have not done as much base as last year, and getting up at 3am every morning to get to work with a 45 minute commute each way just stinkin drains me folks. Top off the fact I was running against guys who are really good runners! I did some stupid pacing at miles 2-4 that I ended up paying for in dividends. I kept hanging onto Seth Wold and Jeff McClellan hoping the draft I could gain from them would be just enough energy savings to get me into PR territory. Not to be however.. Combine all the surging on everyone's part and you have lactic acid especial served up quickly. 5:10-15/mile pace over that distance is just too much for me to sustain right now. Back to the training board and time to get freaking serious about things now.
On the other hand, not too bad for a 38 year old guy with 40-50 mile/wk avg perhaps. I'm too competitive for my own good sometimes.
Darkhorse out...
