6 easy miles. Just trying to get out a few times this week and not over due it. Sad to say, I haven't really given the St. George marathon a lot of thought for this year. I'll run it and glad to do so, but not really sure what to expect.
I purchased a triathlon specific road bike last week. I'm going to start doing triathlons this coming year. I really love to run, but I feel the need to start mixing it up as well. I'm at the perfect spot for it. I'm sure my running speed is going to come down once I start crossing training more, but it's going to be nice to mix it up for a change.
I'll put in a 4 tomorrow and a 2 on Wednesday. Thursday I may get out and ride my bike a little.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for the St. George marathon. I'm going to plan on doing it every year, but I need to get excited again about training and I think doing triathlons is going to make it exciting again for me. | | Comments(1) |

| 2 easy mile today. Tried to visualize the St. George marathon, didn't have much luck. Not really sure what to expect. I guess I'll just run as well as I trained, that's a pretty safe guess. | | Comments(1) |

Like I said, I didn't really know what to expect today. I knew I wouldn't be happy unless I ran under 3 hours, so from the start I just tried to focus on holding that pace. I felt pretty easy, but I wasn't so confident on my fitness, so I didn't allow myself to really push it. I ended up using the bathroom once (about 35 seconds).
First half in 1:30:16. I just maintained till about 20 and them did some 6:30 miles towards the end. I had my legs under me the whole time and didn't really ever get tired or feel like I couldn't hold the pace. Finished with a little extra left. I don't know how much faster I could have gone, or if I could have gone any faster, that's the price one pays for not pushing it. Basid on past marathons, when I push I always do worse, when I conserve I do well. I think I probably ran a good game plan.
Not too many blisters, no injuries, feel pretty dang good. I think I'll break out the bike this week and try to maintain some of my fitness.
A lot of good races today. I'm happy with my time today and satisfied to have ran under 3 hours. Logan is my hero. | | Comments(2) |

I don't usually do anything for a week after a marathon. I've been a little busy all week, working on a missing persons case. I decided to give the Triathlon bike a ride today. I've been waiting for about two weeks to break it in.
I rode my bike from Bullfrog to Ticaboo and back, 24 miles. Man we have a lot of steep hills out here. I cant believe how fast I got going going down some of those hills. I guess pushing all these hills out here in training is only going to make me better on race days.
I'm not sure how many mile one has to bike to count as one mile of running? Anybody have a clue? I'm guess 4 to 1? | | Add Comment |

3 easy miles with my wife this morning. I pushed the baby jogger. First run since the marathon. It was an easy pace and felt pretty good. I was on my feet a lot last week and biked a bit, so I'm sure that had something to do with it.
Kenzee's first time in the baby jogger at six months. She didn't seem to like it as much as her sister's when they were her age. | | Add Comment |

| 16.38 miles on the bike this morning. I pushed the pace a little. I saw two coyoties out hunting this morning. They stopped and looked at me while I rode past. I'm sure they were deciding if I would make a good meal or not. I growled back at them and they decided against it. | | Add Comment |

| 5 easy miles today. I'm trying to decided on a distance that I can maintain this winter and still stay in o.k. shape. I plan on running three times a week this winter and riding my bike three times a week as well. I should stay in o.k. shape with 6 workouts per week. | | Add Comment |

5 miles this morning. I could actually see my breath this morning, I hope that doesn't mean it's going to start to get cold. Going t Antimony for the weekend ( in - laws), always a treat. I may run another 3 with my wife this afternoon. | | Comments(2) |
