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.

| Hill course in the evening. It feels great one minute, then the achilles flares up the next. I think I need to start using the sports cream for all runs up until the marathon. | | Comments(2) |

Usual 5 mile course. Felt terrible the first .5, but good after that. I had to stop after .5 and stretch for 3 minutes. Amazing what a difference that makes. Ran the last 4 averaging the goal marathon pace. | | Add Comment |

| Same hill course as Sunday night. I used the sports cream this morning, and it made a difference. So that will be my crutch of choice for the time being. I warmed up with a slow mile, and didn't feel too bad. Stopped and stretched out for a minute, then took off. Felt faster than usual down the hills, but not as strong as I want to be going up. Decent run. | | Comments(7) |

I did the pipeline/Porter Rockwell trail in Draper this morning. If I go all the way out to Bangerter Parkway from my house (which is the end of the trail), it is 8 miles. I cut it a little short to play it safe. I used the sports stick (icy hot) again and did a slow mile to warm up. After the warm up and stretch, I felt pretty good. At about mile 5, I felt great, which is a good sign. I was able to keep the pace at marathon goal pace (around 6:30) without issues.
I've been leaving the house before 6:00am every morning since school started, which is fine most days. I have to get my daughter up and ready for school at 7:30. The only problem is that the paved trail doesn't have lights, so it gets a little strange in the areas with a lot of trees. It's also unfortunate that I can't run the dirt trails when it's dark. Well, I could... but that would require a slow pace and a headlamp, which wouldn't help me much. I'm going to do a short run tomorrow afternoon/evening on the dirt instead of tomorrow morning.
Interesting- I didn't see anyone on the way out, but I saw quite a few people on the way back as it was getting light. I thought I would see more people getting their last real week of training in before tapering for St George. | | Add Comment |

This was a trail run up on the Bonneville Shoreline trail. It felt good to get back on the trails and mix it up a bit. I had to hold back a little bit due to the 14 miler tomorrow. | | Comments(1) |

Lighter run than expected, because I ran with friends of mine that did the TOU last week. I couldn't get the motivation to do an extra 3 miles afterwards because I was too busy answering questions and so forth from the group members.
Interesting note: the fast miles felt good, then the slow miles at the end started to ache in the achilles area. I'm not sure why, but I've noticed that more than once. It's almost as though picking up the pace loosens things up better than the long, slow distance.
I am trying to determine if being a SLCFit coach is starting to hurt my training. In some ways, I think it is. I typically get up around 4:00am and don't get home until noon. If I was just running, I could be done in a few hours. | | Comments(2) |
