Short-Term Running Goals: 2011: Complete my first Olympic and Half Ironman triathlons 2012: Break 2:40 at St George Move into endurance mountain biking and trail triathlons (xterra, etc) Long-Term Running Goals: Keep running. Move into triathlons and get stronger. Keep succeeding at half marathons and the occasional marathon. Personal: I know Sasha from the CS program at BYU. We both graduated in 1997. He probably doesn't remember me, because he was definitely more vocal in class and among the students than I was.

| No running. 1200 meters swimming. Swimming always feels good, but I'm noticing some pain in the lower back (right side). I've had problems there before, and running usually works it out. I'll keep an eye on it. | | Add Comment |

AM: 4.5 miles to the Trax station. PM: 4.5 miles home from Trax. I ran the kids to school (they on their bikes and me on foot). It's 1.5 miles on the way to Trax. I forgot my dress shoes going out the door, so I had to turn around and run across the neighbor's lawn. Sure enough, my foot went into a sprinkler hole and I rolled my right ankle slightly. It didn't hurt while running, but I feel that biting pain every time I point my toes to the lower-left. It should go away in 1-2 days. Fortunately, the achilles issue is still in check. No pain while running! I seriously haven't gone a week with no running pain since before Ogden. Good sign.

| Nothing too big this morning. I was feeling wiped out from yesterday, and I took a muscle relaxant to heal my back. The muscle relaxant did the trick, but I was still wiped out half the day today. I ended up sleeping at lunch instead of swimming. | | Add Comment |

AM: Ran the 5.5 downhill course. Things felt good. The ground was wet from rainfall during the night, but it wasn't raining out on the run.
PM: Ultimate frisbee. It ended up being equivalent to a 2.5 mile run with a mile of it at VO2 max. Pretty good workout. I was drenched. Got my right hand bruised, but avoided injury otherwise. Wore the Vibram 5 fingers while the others played without shoes. The 2 older guys my age played with shoes. I guess it's harder to run barefoot (even on grass) as you get older. I'm glad I spend so much time in my bare feet.

AM: I got out a little late this morning. The achilles are still feeling good, but I started getting a sharp pain in my right knee on just one step every .25 miles or so. Weird. After a while, I realized it was my IT band that is probably out of line a bit from last night's ultimate frisbee. I cut the run short to be safe. I also stopped and stretched it out, and it felt better as I came back. Should be ok. Lunch: 1200 meters swimming. When I started doing 1200 meter swims, I would do an even mix of free and breast. Now I'm doing more free than breast. Ultimately, I want to do free for the entire workout 'cause that's what I will be doing in a triathlon. | | Comments(2) |

AM: I don't know what it is, but my hips were unusually sore this morning. I think it's either due to the ultimate frisbee on Wednesday or the swimming yesterday. After I got warmed up, things were fine. On a good note- the occasional knee pain I was getting yesterday is gone. I figured that would happen, and I'm glad I didn't push it yesterday and get hurt from it. I got an email yesterday from Scott (the guy who gave Johnny, Jason, and I our St George entries). He said we got our bib numbers assigned. Sure enough, I got an email from St George as well with the usual important update info. So it looks like I'm in. My only concern is that I got a last-minute bib and I won't be allowed in the elite corrals. I'll have to fight that one during the expo, I suppose.

| 5:00 AM: Did a 20 mile run up and down Emigration Canyon. In attendance: Myself, Johnny (helped with driving), Travis (didn't run due to injury, helped with driving), Andrea, Jeremy, Mark (did 11 miles), Esther (did 11 with Mark), Jason, Traci H, Tracy A, Tracy C, Renae, Jennifer, Bill, and Scott. In all, I think everyone did great. I felt better than I have at previous long runs this year, so that's a good sign. I don't really like spiking my mileage on Saturdays like this, but it just works out that way when you train with a group.
