EXTREME MAKEOVER 2012

Ran tonight with Shawn W.  We almost didn't go because of the rain, but we decided to take  a chance and go for it.  WE ran out 4 miles and then back.  I dropped Shawn off and then had time for 1 more mile.  He is always good to run with, he is a strong runner and I am glad that he is back this year.

I met up with Steve, Carl and Darin this morning for some speed work.  I hope to work out with these guys all year if possible.  They are a bunch of fast and experienced runners.  I really didn't know what the plan was just showed up and went with what ever.  We warmed up for 2 miles and then I asked what the plan was.  We were going to do 3:00 min interval with 2:00 min rest.  The plan was to do 8 of these.  I started out with Darin, but my main goal was to keep Carl and Steve with in sight.  After the 3rd one Darin had dropped back, so I was alone but was only about 3-5 seconds behind Carl and Steve.

2.15 Mile cool down back to the truck.  I was glad when these were over.  I think that I could have pushed harder on each one of them but I really just wanted to finish and kind of test the water.  I will enjoy training with these guys on Tuesdays.

Today was another battle on getting my sorry keester out of bed.  I finally did manage and was out the door by 5:02 am.  I ran out 4 miles to power house rd and back.  I didn't see the deer today.  I think that either Clay has locked them up and is holdong them for the deer hunt to roll around, or Michelle has caught them and had them moved to Hogle Zoo so that we don't shoot them. jk  I did see a couple of pheasants and that was about it.  Today is mine and Kellie's 11th wedding anniversary!!!  Wow time really flies by fast when you are having fun.  Legs felt just ok today, I could feel yesterday's workout in them.

I met up with Rich this morning at the SF City Park and we ran the SF half Marathon course.  It was a great morning.  The weather was awesome and the legs felt pretty good.  My buttocks were a little stiff for about a mile, but they loosened up after a mile or so.  We ran into Mac out by the BYU dairy and ran with her until she headed west.  We grabbed a drink at mile 6 and continued on back to the park.  I am loving the weather right now and I am liking my start this year for training.  I can't run on Saturday morning so I am running 15 tomorrow and then hopefully get some miles in Saturday after I get home from the scout camp.

Rich and I met at my house and ran out around the the golf course and back.  It was a little chilly this morning, but it was a good chill.  My legs are feeling this step up in mileage, but I like that I am feeling it.  I hope to get some miles in Saturday after I get home from the camp out.
