| Warm up and then 1.5 miles hard, 8 minute jog, 12 minutes hard up. Averaged 5:38 for the 1.5 and 5:28 for the 12 minutes. Also ran home from the shop for my car and then back over there a couple hours later... one more round of that and then hopefully done for a while. Also ran about half a mile on our evening walk to go back to the house to get a ball for Whitney to play with at the park, plus some barefoot strides on the grass. Also 100 jump ropes. | | Add Comment |

| Warmed up 1.5 miles and then ran a 5 mile tempo with Garry and Jake. Averaged 5:25, the first 5k was 5:20 pace for 16:35 and then I fell off pace a bit the last mile or two with a 5:28 and 5:34 to close. To be fair the original goal pace was 5:30 and those guys averaged 5:19. I'm pretty happy with this, I'm not too far off of being able to keep with them for the whole thing. Big confidence booster that I can go sub 33 at Des news 10k. Cooled down running with the Weber team, also did a 5 minute plank which was pretty solid considering I haven't tried a plank in years. Another mile run to big O... hopefully the last for a while. Also my left IT band has been acting up recently, was feeling pretty sore this morning but after some stretching and massage gun it felt mostly better for this short run. Gotta keep up with the injury prevention exercises and stretches. | | Add Comment |

| Stroller run over to the harrisville Park and ran the loop there for the first time, it's a half mile loop and then also runs out another third of a mile or so to a splash pad, pretty cool. Ran 4 miles and then Whitney played for 45 minutes and then I ran the loop one more time and continued on home. I notice that if I go to the park exactly at the right time there's like an hour window where the shade covers one of the play structures perfectly so I've been trying to make it there for that each day this week.

| Sandbagged a 12x400m workout with Jake and Garry. My IT band has been having a rough time and I didn't want to take it too hard. So I did the first 4 and then I did every other rep for the last 8. Splits were 69, 67, 69, 68, 69, 66, 65, 66. Then we did a mile tempo in 5:27. Felt pretty good really, especially considering I haven't ran the pace of those 400s in a couple months. My knee/IT band was feeling a little tight the first couple but felt good the rest of the time. Then we drove over to Weber county fair grounds for practice and ran with the kids, I felt pretty drained for that part and my it band/knee started hurting after we finished or maybe like in the last mile or so. I think I'll probably skip out on the twisted fork 30k this weekend in favor of staying healthy. I suppose I could just take it as an easy run but even an easy 18 miles would probably be too much. Much better to get healed up and run a lot of fast races this summer and fall than wreck myself this weekend. | | Add Comment |
