Hurt so good.

18 holes of golf, followed by 75 minute run on the Treadmill, followed by 3 hours at the pool chasing a crazy 2 year old that thinks he knows how to swim.

Great busy day.

avg pace for run was  7:03 min/miles

Trail Tuesday with Jon and Riley. Mountains were nice and cool this morning. 

Hit the upper trails above Mt. Ogden Golf this time. Love hate relationship with trails, I feel that I am not coordinated to run them but also love running in the mountains. Maybe one day it will click

avg pace for run 7:50 min/miles

Met with Jon, Riley and Ken from 21st pond for an Aerobic builder.

Did 3 mile warmup couple of bathroom breaks 

Workout started off just great. Planning a breakdown workout and building off the first mile. Mile one hit 5:34 and felt great leg wise mile 2 and was on pace for 5:33 then my stomach went south. Quick bathroom break again, started back up and stomach flaired up again. Now I am getting a big sideache most likely from dehydration but gave it ago again and just didnt have it unfortunetely. Ran 645 pace to the end.

Well on to next week.Not bummed about this at all, cant beat myself up on stomach issues, just praying for better results next week. I feel now I know where to start for builders 530-535 pace and by the end of the Summer be down in the low 520s to high teens would be great.

P.M.

3.10 easy with some strides in the middle. Heat must be getting to me because I feel like garbage!

Just me and the Freaking Cook. Nice exploration run thru Uintah and South Weber. Hit some trails and climbed a bit. Feeling way dehydrated as of late and have no pop in my legs, which shouldnt be the case. Hopefully I can shake this funk and get rolling again!

P.M.

3.70 miles easy then thru in 3X30 second accelerations starting at 445 pace and ending at 405 pace. Total of 4.10 miles

Ran from Riley's house with Riley of course and Jon. Good run in the South Weber.

Avg pace 7:02 min/miles

Pleasant View 5K

Met Jon, Riley, and Ken at the finish line in PV. I ended up getting a little over 5 mile warm with some strides before the race started.

Goal was I had no goal. I just wanted to see where my fitness was at and just build throughout the Summer.

Race is probably the best course in the state if you want a fast 5K. First mile flat, 2nd mile is bombing down hill, and 3rd is a net loss with some rolling hills.

As the gun went off Riley took off and it was cool as heck to watch him easily pull away. Although I do give myself credit for hanging with him for about a half a mile. 

During mile 2 ken closed the gap and we ran together for about a quarter mile, he gapped me a bit on the first hill in the 3rd mile and held the same gap to the finish.

Great race to come in 3rd in. PR on that course, though I would like to race that course again in the fall, I think it would be a new unofficial down hill PR.

Afterwards I ran my son in that is 8 years old, he ran a PR with a time of 25:38. Then I cooled down with Riley and Ken and enjoyed a killer breakfast and watched the parade afterwards with the family.

Love the small town races, always nice and organized. Commiting myself to more racing in the Summer. I thought high mileage training would be enough but I need the exertion from a race, to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Splits- 5:06; 4:56; 5:21 and 21 seconds for the last .10
