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.

Warmup of 1 mile. It felt bad, but ok after the usual stretch and so forth. I finished off not quite as strong as usual, so hopefully the taper will give me some more energy.
Still trying to work out the taper schedule. | | Add Comment |

| Same 5.5 route as yesterday. It went fine. Nothing great, but I ended strong. I think tomorrow will be a rest day and then I'll finish out the week with 3 simlar runs. | | Add Comment |

I spent the night last night with the achilles stretched, because I heard that can help. I finally woke up and was able to walk normally without having to stretch out first. Amazing. I took that as a sign to go out for a light run. I figured that a light run would be just as good (if not better) than a day off for the taper, as long as I feel ok.
I didn't apply any sports cream. It didn't feel great at first. I stopped after a mile (as usual), and stretched things out. Then I took off on the hill course. It worked out well. I felt a slight pain going up hill, but down hill was great (as usual). After the run, things felt good. Successful day. | | Add Comment |

Stretched out the achilles again during the night, and woke up feeling good. I was actually planning on taking the day off, but I felt so good that I had to get out. Warmed up for a mile, stretched, and then took off. Did 2x1 mile tempo at 5:55 and 5:57, and that was over some rolling terrain. So I'm pleased.
It was dark on the way down to Draper on the trail at 6:00am. I have to walk about 1/4 mile down the hill on a deer trail, and it's difficult to see when it's dark. I lost my footing at one point and caught myself with my left leg, but I landed pretty hard and felt my a slight pain in my knee. I've never had knee problems, so I wasn't too worried. The run was fine. I did notice that there was a dull pain in my left knee on the drive to work, but it doesn't hurt at all to walk or run, so I'm not going to get all worked up about it. A lot of things can defeat you mentally right before a big race.

| I had to go out to Vernal for a wedding reception, so that gave me the chance to run my favorite trail near the Green River. Actually, my favorite trail is in Dinosaur Ntl Monument, but the remote 4wd and dry creek beds by the Green River are a close second. Did a mile warmup. Things felt good, just a little tight. I went up 3 miles on the 4wd road to the top of the bluff that overlooks the river. Pushed it up the hill and again at the end. Coming back down was a blast, as usual. I opted out of the 4wd road and chose the dry river bed instead. There are so many dry riverbeds to run out here, and most of the time they are actually dry. | | Add Comment |
