EXTREME MAKEOVER 2012

AM: I got up early and ran before Kellie and the Heidi's went out.  I ran out and around the 5 mile square and back home.  I had enough time to get in .5 before Kellie left so I took a lap around the neighborhood,  Hopefully I can get another 5 in tonight or maybe even at lunch today.

PM:  After returning home from Monster's vs Aliens I helped Kellie get the boys to bed and then went out for a quick run.  I ran the same route as this morning, except I ran it backwards this time.  I ran a 2 mile warm up and then 2 miles at 5k pace and then 1.5 mile cool down.  I am running with Rich in the morning and I know that he is still probably sore from the Half on Saturday so I decided that I would do some quicker miles tonight.

2 mile warm up - ave pace 7:15

2 mile tempo - 5:56, 5:42 ave pace 5:49 (not to bad for having a 6" Subway Sandwich, Popcorn, chocolate covered almonds and...oh yeah a sour apple slushy in my stomach form the movies)

1.5 mile cool down - ave pace 7:32

Ran early with Rich this morning.  We ran out west because the wind was blowing hard in the river bottoms.  It was good to run and talk with Rich, it sure makes the miles go by faster.  We ran into Steve, Carl and Pat along the way.  Weather was awesome, no wind and temps in high 30's.

Got a late start this morning so I needed to run short and some what quick.  I ran a .5 mile warm up and then decided that I would run a 5 mile tempo @ marathon pace.  I think that my marathon pace depending on the course is some where between 6:30-6:45ish.  My average pace today was 6:36 and this was with a slow first mile.  I always seem to run faster towards the end of my runs compared to the start.

Went out early this morning and had intentions on meeting up with Rich.  We had planned on meeting in Salem so that I could be home in time for Kellie to go out running.  Rich ended up getting lost so we started about 30 minutes late.  We ran some good hills and got in a good workout for the short amount of time that we had.  We only got in 5.5 miles and then I headed home so that Kellie could go run.  I walked in the door and she was getting ready do to some aerobics, she said the weather was to bad.  So I headed out and got in another 2.5 by myself, so that I could make up for the lost time from this morning.

Met up with Dan and ran up Provo Canyon.  It is always fun running with Dan.  The time seems to fly by really fast.  Legs felt great today, and I think that I might have him talked into running St. George Marathon.  He has been into Ultra Races for the past 5 years.  So 26.2 should be a cake walk.!  Plus it is another fun strong training partner!
