AM - 6 Miles with Nikki and then 3.27 solo nice and warm with not much left so I hit MP then dropped to HMP for the last 2. Felt good, still feel some effects from Saturday's long run, but not too much. Might hit the track this afternoon. PM - 5.16 Decided to hit the Shelley High School track at lunch time. I forgot how nice it really is, however, the are two place the wind even when its not windy really hits you there. I decided to do 1/2 mile repeats with a 1/4 mile float in-between. 2:46 (went out a little fast here), 2:50 (still to fast, knew I would pay for it), 2:57(finally where I wanted to be), 2:58, 2:55, 2:56. I was hoping to be closer to 2:55 on each one but this was my first track workout in a long time and I was a touch off on the first two and paid for it a little later on. Overall with my floats 5.16/32:07/6:14. |

AM - 4 miles solo then 7 with Nikki. I was nice and toasty after 4 but then slowed down with Nikki and almost froze to death. I was chilled to the bone, still not warming up yet. I was planning on doing a bit more but the cold got to me plus I wanted to see the kids before they left for school so I cut it a bit short and will just add the missed miles on to this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Legs recovered pretty good from yesterday, still feel a little burn which is becoming normal. PM - 6 Easy Shelley loop. This run was more out of necessity than anything else. Work stress is officially through the roof as we try to push to get in the new building. Everybody seems on edge and all of us are snapping easily. My wife asked me last night why I was so grumpy and if I really liked my job. I couldn't say anything (I was really grumpy). Still grumpy. Daughter has decided to run the hurdles. Wants me to help her. I know nothing about the hurdles. Any suggestions? |

| Recovery day so I took this easy, but still ran the hills by my house. I'm feeling extremely worn down today and the run was a bit tough. Now for a day of yard work. |

AM - 13.2 I was prepared to run in snow and rain this morning after looking at the forecast last night and to my surprise a relatively nice morning. Ran 4 warm up then back to pick up Nikki. It's a good thing she was there otherwise I would have went back to bed. I coaxed her into running 8 with me. It was really good for me to have company this morning or I would not have got this one in. 1 mile finish up between MP and HMP. Legs feeling a lot better than yesterday. PM - 6. I am now convinced that Shelley has the worst track program around. My daughter called me from the track so I headed over to see if I could help out. When I got there they were stretching so I ran a couple miles on the track watching the completely unsupervised high school kids do whatever they wanted (no coach anywhere). After a couple miles I figured my daughter was bound to come over soon so I sat down and tried to take care of some work off of my phone. 15 minutes later the coach or whoever still was talking to them. They had been done stretching for over 20 minutes at 4:15 I had to leave and go back to work. They still weren't on the track, track is over at 4:30. I guess they really don't run in Shelley. Bad thing is they have and 8th grader (boy) who is really fast and has no coaching, I'm pretty sure the kid would kill me in a 5K by minutes..enough ranting..It was good to get out, I seem to run faster on the track, last double of the week. |

AM - 1.25 yep that's how far I made it this morning. I actually went a little over a half a mile before I decided to call it quits and ran back home. The weather sucked and I couldn't think of any good reason why I needed to get pelted in the face by tiny ice pellets for at least 9 miles before I turned my back to the wind for the other 9. So I will be doing a long run on a TM today. PM - 14 Tempo run. I was trying for 18 total but had to call it quits a little early just not enough left in the legs. It was supposed to be an easy day but had to switch up because of going out of town so with the lack of rest I'm not surprised. I did get in the miles at MP that I wanted. 14/1:31 flat/6:30 I eat way too much pizza.

AM - 4 super soft miles with Nikki this morning. Great easy morning run. PM - 10.55 Aerobic workout. Sat on a 7:05 pace which is really uneasy for me. I would rather go faster or slower so I figured this would be a good aerobic workout pace. Finished 10.55/1:14:10/7:04 right where I wanted. THis was also the first time this year I've really dehydrated myself running. |

| It's an easy week for me and much needed both physically and mentally. I need a small break from the higher miles I've been doing, just to load up again for another 3-4 week of high mileage and hard work outs. I missed yesterday and went to my daughter's first track meet instead. She did ok but definately needs to run more. She had fun and it was fun watching and yelling for the kids I knew. Now I just need to find time to sneek over a couple days a week and help out. |

| Slept in again this morning, I actually got up let the dog out and decided I didn't want to run in the wind. Sleep and a little leg rest is the name of the game this week. 9 mile progression starting out slow MP pace down to fast MP. 9/58:28/6:30 with a 2 mile c/d. |

| AM - 6.7 easy 5 loop with Nikki then kicked it up for a short finish. So yesterday I wouldn't run in the wind but the rain really didn't bug me this morning until it felt like little ice needles going into my face at the end of the run when it started coming down a little harder. My thighs just aren't recovering very good right now, they seem to always ache. |

AM - 8.4 ran first couple solo then picked up Nikki for 6. After such a horrible week I've decided that I really need to pay more attention to taking my supplements and eating better. I've been in this cycle of not caring and not taking anything at all. I believe all of that led to my break down and body feeling really lousy. Good Luck to all my friends running Boston. I've been watching this morning and it's more fun when you're watching people, with I was there with you. PM - 5.7 Felt a little amped up after watching Boston so probably went a little harder than normal here. Progression run 6:28 (This is GMP so pretty fast for a starting mile for me), 6:17,6:15, 6:11, 6:15 (not sure what happened just fell off a touch) 6:12(finishing pace) 5.7/35:27/6:16. Good afternoon run, everything felt smooth and this is kind of an in-between pace for me.

AM - 10.3 Just me and the dog this morning. Cool and a little breezy. Had a really long day at work yesterday so I feel like I'm pretty tired still. PM - 10.56 This felt like a death march as I walked out the door. I was totally shot and just was not in a good mood. Made it through miles 1 and 2 at that point I started to believe I was going to make it through the whole loop. As I got to the middle portion, very exposed (spud field both sides), I just took it by feel. Turned towards home as started to feel much better. Ended with last 2.5 at MP. I'm actually happy and in a much better mood than I've been all morning. I did know torture would be this good.... |

| Quiet morning run with Nikki. I don't think she said a word until a couple miles into the run. Between kids busy schedules and staying up late to take care of the house it doesn't seem like we're getting much sleep this week. The easy pace felt good on my legs and I was looking forward to an easy day. Day off but I'll be in and out of work like usual today. Hope I can actually get something accompished. |

AM - Started out this morning early and needed some HMP miles. I usually warm up a few then hit it but out of necessity I got 1 warm up and then went. It was very hard to get there and hurt quite a bit so I didn't get as many as I wanted. Picked Nikki up and ran the remaining 5.5 at an easy pace to finish off the morning. I'm pretty tired and dragging already this morning just trying to work through it. Ankle felt real tender around mile 2 this morning. It did snap out of it but I'll watch it and maybe use different shoes for the rest of the week. I do like my Brooks PureFlow the best out of all my shoes so it might be hard. |

| Horrible stress filled day. Woke up wanted to run, wife begged me to stay and not get up, work was riduculous busy, problems, lots of things I couldn't get done. Was promised I could run when I got home without getting in trouble, got home an hour late from work, got in trouble when I mentioned going, went anyway.....now doing better, more relaxed, surprisingly my wife is now fine. Big run tomorrow, longest I'll do before the race, running the bench route I haven't ran it in a long time should be fun. Feeling much better now. |

Last big training run before Utah Valley. Set out early and had a beautiful morning run. Saw a few deer and did all the hills I haven't seen in quite a while. Met my wife at mile 19 to finish off. She was a wreck. I guess two dogs (they came after me earlier) came after her and our dog and bit him. She was pretty upset and crying when she got to me. I got her calmed down and we headed for home. A different dog, the one I wanted to kill last year came out after us. I raise a pretty good ruckus yelling at him and the owner actually came out and called him back. Then his wife drove down to catch up to us and ask us if we were ok. My wife is too nice so I held my tongue a little. As we approached where the other dogs live I got a couple of rocks in my hands. Both came out again, both got hit by rocks and I'm about half tempted to get my shotgun and kill all three. I hate people who don't take care of their dogs. Mine doesn't leave my yard without me and would never attack another dog or person. These dogs may die at some point during the summer or become seriously maimed. 1800 feet of climbing in this run, right at 3 hrs, I felt pretty good but it got tough when Nikki slowed me down for the last 5 I could tell my legs wanted to go faster. Did get a few a MP but really wasn't trying, tried more to hold back and be contained. No need to kill myself in training.

AM - Went out with Nikki after a late wake up. Started out and legs started feeling really good and it was a great conversation with my wife. At about mile 3 we ran into a dog that my friend has, who watches my dog when I go out of town. My dog went nuts so I ran the other dog home and left my wife for a bit. As excited as my dog was this turned into a 5:30ish mile, not what I planned on. Met my wife for her last mile then finished on a canal loop that I haven't done in a couple years. My dog loved cashing the ducks in the water and running off leash. I might have to make this more of a habit again. PM - 6 at the high school track during Jr High practice. I coaxed one of the decent 8th graders to run one of my 5x600 with me. I did a 400m float in between. 1 - 2:07(5:30), 2- 2:07 (5:30), 3-2:12 (5:40), 4-2:12 (5:40), 5-2:13 (5:42). He then joined me up for another 1.25 cool down at around a 6:40 pace. It was fun to work with the kids. The local 8th grade stud who runs around a 5:05 mile wouldn't run with us. I know him and his dad well and I'll keep working on him when I go. I think I might sneak down more often to help out. 6/38:01/6:20

AM - 14.3 Easy consistent pace. Starting to feel much better. I can feel my body starting to get stronger on these runs which is really encouraging right now felt like I was bonking around mile 9 but when I looked at my mile splits when I was done all were with 5 seconds, start to finish. I'm going to be a little tired today. Stayed up late folding clothes and stumbled into a show called Ridiculousness which is basically short video clips of people doing really stupid things and getting hurt. My wife was almost crying she was laughing so hard. Pretty funny for about 30 minutes then it starts to wear off. Still it was worth losing the 30 minutes of sleep. PM - 6.2 First mile hurt then I loosened up and fell right into pace ended up hitting a few slow MP miles without any effort. I'm glad today is over running wise. Tuesdays seem to take a lot out of me in every aspect. I was soooo hungry I ate lunch at 11 today. I was eating anything I could get my hands on. I imagine thats not real good to let myself get that bad. |

| Wow, what a beautiful morning. Only problem was my wife was walking out the door without gloves so I followed suit and left mine on the table. Wasn't a real smart choice. Easy first 5 with Nikki then a fast canal loop to finish it off. Now yard work. |

| Only one run today because I had to fast this morning for a blood test and couldn't force myself to run on empty and then not eat for another couple of hours. So did some speed work. 8@ HMP pace. .5@MP and .6 WU/CD what I had timed was 8.5/50:54. I felt pretty strong throughout and know I couldn't have done this a month ago so I'm slowly getting there. |

AM - 7.1 before the weather got really yucky. 5 easy with Nikki then 2.1 at MP solo. My wife had a good venting run and I had a good listening, not trying to solve anything run (at least I'm not the one she's upset with). PM - 6.1 Outside nice and easy. I had my shirt off Tuesday and wore a synthetic down jacket today...must live in Idaho. |

Well, let's see. I couldn't get out of bed, when I did I took forever getting ready, once I started I felt super slow for 5-6 miles. Kept thinking I should've stayed in bed. When I turned around at 9 I started feeling better ran about a 7 minute negative split on the way home. So the entire last half was right around MP. My dog tried to stop around mile 16-17 somehow got him back on track to finish off the entire run. Ran to Rattle Snake Transfer Site and back aka my summer bench route. It is so quiet and peaceful out there, hardly any cars. PM - 5.07 No one home, so I went running. I decided early today that I would go for a shake out if I felt good. Started out feeling great, felt great throughout enitre run. Thought about going farther but decided to stop while I still felt good. 5.07/32:37/6:26 |

| I guess I need to re-up my gym membership. I had to beg my way in today because the person there couldn't take my money and I let it lapse. Felt lucky to get in because I did not want to run in the wind today. 13/1:25:56 |
