| AM-10 miles easy with speed changes to loosen up. River parkway course.
AM2-10 miles with last 5 at MP effort. 9400s/7th east. Took a rest and stopped at Starbucks for a mocha and water then took it out to finish hard. Not quite the same as a long run but similar results probably.
Just got an e-mail. Ogden is a go!

| AM/PM-10 mile heathen run with progression in pace up and down Ft Union blvd and Big Cottonwood Canyon road. I keep breaking the speed limit on these daily runs! I don't know I guess I may have a rebellious streak going on or something lately.. I didn't even go to church this morning.
I saw a sign while running on the course advertising the Vigor race event. Looks like it would be kind of fun even if it is a bit of a parachute drop. One of these years I may just run that to see what I might have left speed wise in the tank.
PM-6 miles easy-medium. Ft Union loop./7th east.

| AM-5 mile recovery run. 7th/9400s.
PM-3 mile jog with Ian. 7th east. We tossed this one back and forth on whether we should go. The clincher was after I asked him if he felt up to going out tonight. As he could plainly see that I was dragging this afternoon he replied; DO You.. really want to go? Cuz I know your getting older and how tired you are from your canyon run yesterday.. I remarked; Ok smart guy just go get your running shoes on!

| Easy 4.5 miles 7th east. Hip and and back still bothersome but the pain subsides quite a bit after a good slow warm up and about 600 mg of IB. I am kind of unsure about even running this race.. The marathon can be a cruel mistress, revealing and attacking any weak spots that may present or lie underneath the surface. However someone really went out of there way to help get me into this event and to which I have great amount of respect and grattitude for. Add in the fact that I have to be to a physically active job afterwards, it makes for a really tough call. I have totally enjoyed this race in gthis past and would be totally bummed if I were to have to miss it:( What to do...

| DNFed the Ogden Marathon with injury. Should have heeded good advice including my own but I thought I should at least try and give it a go. Time to cut way back, heal up and regroup for another day. For now I think I'll go look into a new gym memebership and start working on weights for a while. Overall it was a tough day and it's getting old.. but I need to stay pragmatic and optimistic somehow because the alternative won't get me anywhere.

| Easy 5 miles on 7th. It's becoming so regular the UPS guy waves and talks to me now. And I got my pushups and crunches in for the day now. Baby steps.

| AM-Easy 4.5 miles. Still severely tight and sore on both sides.. Obviously dealing with a compensation injury of some sort. Went home and drowned my sorrows in some good Stella Artois and Hank Williams. Yeah.. I know, but I'm only human.. Gimme a break today. Im not one to sugarcoat my blog. I tell it how it is..
PM-Time to devote more energy towards other priorities in life.

| AM-Easy 3 miles on the treadmill at 8/min pace. Then some free weights including bench and some triceps work. Followed up with ab crunches and planks.
Increasing calorie intake overall and trying to focus on some weight and muscle development. My metabolic rate is so high I don't really have to be picky on the types of foods. Just getting it in is a challenge especially at work. Not to mention the cost! Example, consumed an entire Little Caesars pizza last night right after work. Ton of calories, protein and yes, lots of fat... But cheap and effective for a scrawny runner type:) I did have some carrot sticks with it...
