I felt a lot better running today, but also a sad day for me and my family. My son leaves today at 2:00 for boot camp. I think my running is helping me with my stress. My pace was 08:13.8 and my goal this week is to run 50 miles. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Ran eleven miles today, I am not sure what my pace was
because I was having trouble with my watch. I can say that my running felt
really good today, I think the cut back was a very good decision for me.I am not sure what to do about next week mileage.
I was thinking about cutting again due to the race coming up in November 1.I could use some suggestions! Thanks for reading and have a great night..

I am not sure if i am going to do this right. This is the kind of schedule i was thinking about running before my half marathon...
My running is feeling a lot better now that i am cutting back on my mileage. My pace was 7:50, and i am feeling good right now. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Had a nice run today, my pace was 07:56.38. I will not be running tommorrow because i will be running 13. miles on Satruday.. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Just a quick note, i will write more later. I ran 13.1 miles in 1:40, my third fastest time. Also, for an update on my weight. From 1-1-07 to 10-1-08 i have lost between 45 to 48 pounds, WOW.. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Not a bad run today. My average pace was 8:00. Kory and i went over the race course for my race in November. i do have to say that it will not be to get a PR on this course. I need to do some training on hills to be able to run a good race. Thanks for reading and have a great night!!
Today's run went good. I ran on the treadmill and out of the six miles i ran three of them at a 4.0 incline. I am trying to get my legs use to running hills at a faster pace. I hope this helps... Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
I tried to run some more hill training today. I think i accomplished my goal.
1) No incline, warm up mile.
2) The incline was at 6. My pace was about 7:15 per mile.
3) The incline was at 1. My pace was about 8:30 per mile.
4) The incline was at 5. My pace was about 7:00 per mile.
5) The incline was at 1. My pace was about 8:30 per mile.
6) The incline was at 4. My pace was about 6:45 per mile.
I am not positive about the times, but i think they are close. But when i was done running i went to the local college, Idaho State University to there job fair. And boy did i find some good job opportunity. The jobs i found i would almost make two times the amount i am making now. I am faxing off my resume to two jobs this morning and i am praying that one of them work out. Anyway, thanks for reading and have a great day!!
I was a little tired from yesterdays run, so i tried to run slower. My average pace was 8:32; tomorrow i will be running 10 miles of the race course. So i am trying to rest my legs. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Today i ran ten miles of the race course with my friend/cousin Kory. I do have to say that the areas i thought would be hard are not too bad, but the area i thought would be a little easier was was hard. I am very glad i was able to run it with Kory, he helped me to pace the course and get a good feeling of where to run and when i need to take my sports beans. My over all pace was a 7:32 and that is only 18 seconds per mile slower than my PR. I feel with Gods help i can at least run my 7:14 per mile pace. There is only two weeks before the race and i am now getting excited for the race. Next week we will be running the same ten miles to help us get use to get more familiar with the course. I am just praying there is no wind and the weather i warm. Well, thanks for reading and have a great Day!!!
I was really soar today, my pace was 8:48 per mile. This week i am only planning on running 35 miles due to my race is next week. Not much else to say. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Good run today, my overall pace was 7:37. I bought new shoes yesterday with the help of Kory. Thanks Kory, i think they will be good running shoes. I was feeling good, but i am wondering if i am pushing myself too much before the race. I will try to slow down tomorrow and see how i feel. I also received my new racing shoes in today and they are really really nice. I think i will run in them tomorrow and try to break them in a little before my race, again thanks to Kory for the help in buying them. Not much else to say, but have a great day!!
Today's went ok, my legs were little soar but not to bad. I was trying to keep my time slow because i needed to let my legs rest. My pace was 8:17 per mile. I ran with my new racing shoes today and they were nice. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Today i was trying to teach myself to relax while running fast. i think i stress myself out running at faster speeds. For me a 6:3? - 6:4? stresses me out, i think i can not handle running that fast for that long. So in my own way i was teaching myself not to stress out. I need to do this because of my race coming up. My overall pace was 7:16 pace. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for reading and have a great night!!
Today run was really soar. i had a really hard time running anything fast. My overall pace was 8:45 and i tried to use my heart monitor, but the batteries was dead. I am running the course tomorrow with Kory and i needed to rest. Thanks for reading and have a great day!! :)
Today i ran some of the course with Kory. I felt a little tired, but not too bad. Kory would take the lead and try to help me to push myself into running faster miles. I think it helped, because my overall pace was 7:17 which is like 3 seconds slower per mile than my PR. This course is not an easy course it is a series of up and down hill running. But i forgot to tell you in yesterdays blog that i have shin splints again. It is the same leg as last time and i think i have figured out why i keep getting them. When i run i put more pressure on that one leg than i do the other. So now i am back to wrapping my leg again. But thanks to Kory for referring me to his friend who is a massage therapist, i was able to get a full body massage and it think that will help my shin splints a lot. Then i went to the doctor and was treated for shin splints and stress. I think it helped me out, i guess we will see. Thanks for reading and have a great day!! :)
No running today. My wife gave me some honey do list and i am also thinking about going to a movie. Then tonight we have church, which has been really good, so i am really looking forward to going. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Nice easy run today on the treadmill. I ran 4.5 miles at a 1.0 incline. The shin did not bother me, which was very nice. My pace was 8:27 per mile. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Todays run i picked it up a little. I ran five miles and three of them were at 8:27 and two of them were at a 6:58. My legs were feeling good. I also ran on the treadmill with a 0.5 incline. But today will be the last day i can run at lunch, i was told no more taking long lunches. So i guess that i will be running after work. I think i can still try to run a couple miles at lunch, but no more long runs. That sucks, but life goes on... Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Nice easy run today, my pace was 8:27. I am a little nervous about the race on Saturday. I also found out today that my GYM will no longer have any more classes and my wife is really upset. So i guess we will be going to a new GYM next month. Anyway, thanks for reading and have a great day!!
