Here we Go

Felt really sick while running today.  Cut it short.

Started the day off with 4.4 miles on the treadmill.  It is kinda nice at 8 in the morning. Not much competition for treadmills.

Later today I went on a a loop through River Heights with my brother to add 3 more miles onto the day.

My plan was to run outside tonight, and I even started to.  However the snow and wind got the better of me at about 0.6 miles, so I headed in.  After that I ran another 3.4 miles on the treadmill at a pretty quick pace.  Felt good overall.

Ran my hill route today, but turned around short of the 2 mile mark because I was getting pretty cold.  The sunshine made it look much warmer than it actually was due to the nasty wind.  Still it felt good to be outside running again.

Nice run on the treadmill today.  Did the entire thing at 8:35/mile pace.  It felt great.

With the beautiful weather today I had to go outside.  My son and I ran around the Island area.  Couldn't believe how warm it was.  Gotta love springtime.

Beautiful run up past 1st dam and up to the beginning of the River Trail.  It was still snowbound so we didn't keep going.

Quick run over River Heights.  Nice weather out today.

Ran along Canyon Road to first dam and back to my buddy's house.  Felt a little weak today.  I don't think I'm getting enough carbs to keep up with my running.

Ran about the first two, but then ran completely out of gas.  I seriously felt like I hit the wall during the marathon.  Definitely need more carbs.

Ran in my old shoes today because I forgot my new runners.  I haven't ran in these shoes since the marathon, and that was a mistake.  I have a pretty good sized blister on my left foot.  Pace at 8:49/mile with a nasty headwind for the first 2.1 miles.

Quick run on the treadmill.  Wasn't feeling super good so I cut it short.

Great run in the fieldhouse today.  Quick pace of 8:00/mile.

Nice treadmill interval training today.  Ran my jogging pace at 8:30/mile and ran at 7:30/mile.

Beautiful run up through River Heights and onto the foothills above the Island.  Great day for a run out in the sunshine.

Ran the River Trail near the Stokes Nature Center today.  It was beautiful and dry for the most part.  There were about 5 muddy spots throughout the whole run.  

We did the better part of the River Trail today.  Started midway up and then went up and back and down to Second Dam before coming back to the car.  It felt great.  Beautiful weather and only a few wet spots along the trail.

Amazingly quick run over River Heights via a new route.  I averaged 7:12/mile over the course of the run.  It was pretty awesome.  I felt great when I was done, but I was a little bit winded.

Got really winded today.  Wasn't really feeling it.  Ended up walking about the last mile of my run.
