Runnin Bubbas

AM:  beautiful morning today. Slight breeze on the way back from Draper Lefty Loop that I do. Solo effort. Felt very comfortable today and starting to get easier again. 7:59AP

AM:  Scott's house with TB, Scott, Jeff, Matt, and Kyle.  Turned off at 7 and headed back on my own.  Glad to get out with the crew even though I am way out of shape.  7:40AP

Long day of work, home stuff, wedding stuff.  Just could not get in a run today.  Was up til midnight working on wedding stuff.  One of those days.  Excited though.  MIH

AM:  Not enough sleep last night and could not get my digestive system to cooperate this morning at 4:15am so I could not get ready in time to meet the crew.  Took me 3 hours to finally go to the bathroom and feel ready.  

AM 2:  Track Workout

3 mile wu from my house over to Corner Canyon HS.  

2 laps with straightaway striders

1X1000 @ 3:55 1/4 mile recovery jog

4X400 @93, 92, 91, 89 1 minute passive recovery

2.1 cd back to my house.

Wish I could have done this workout with someone.  It was good to get some turnover.  I was tight and felt very heavy but overall good workout.  Hopefully this can be a key to guide my fitness back.  Nice head winds here in Draper this morning.  

AM:  Run with Ben M. this morning.  Draper lefty loop very easy.  It was fun to talk with Ben.  Good dude.  

AM: Comfortable easy run out and back on Minuteman/Pioneer.  Legs are little tired but my fitness is changing by the hour.  Need to drink a lot of water today.  Headed up north to yankee territory Utah.  Ogden should be fun again.  Excited to see everyone do well.  I am just going to do the half as a long run.  Good luck to everyone racing tomorrow.  7:40AP

Ogden Half Marathon LR...

Spent the night at the Van Beekum's last night.  Always appreciate their hospitality along with the rest of the Ogden Crew.  Watched Unbroken with Riley, Dave and Ben last night and then hit the sack.  Early morning and not a lot of sleep but we were on our way.  Ben and his friend Allen and I all rode up in a police escort courstey of Ben's Dad.  I stayed in the car til about 10 minutes before start.  Got out and found a secret bathroom and then ran  around a little over a 1/4 mile to the start to just wu if you wanna call it that.  

No real plans today except that I wanted to jog the course.  I signed up for the full last september so I had a full bib on and then just did not put my timing chip on.  Race took off and immediately we are running in the rain.  It rained the entire time.  I just decided I would go out really easy and then settle into a pace that was a comfortable jog.  7:40 pace felt comfortable the whole time so I just focused on getting a good run in.  Finished the run in 1:40.  

Gotta lot of work to do to lose weight and gain the fitness but today was fun.  Great to see so many fun faces and cool peeps.  Got hpothermia about an hour later.  Had to get wrapped in blankets and foil for about 20 minutes.  Pretty interesting experience.  Don't recommend hypothermia.  Good week again.  MIH
