| AM 5.3 Hll loop. Easy run. First mile my legs felt really heavy and slow, pace was pretty poor. After that they seemed to warm up and by the fifth mile they were rolling just fine.
PM 9.25 Another easy run 7:14 pace. I wanted to keep going and felt like I could've gone all day but had to get back to work.

| AM - Hill loop. A couple minutes faster than yesterday some mile close to MP while climbing and descending.
PM - 3x2mx1m 1 mile warm up and then into the speed workout of the week. It was pretty tough with what I did this morning. Probably shouldn't have run the hills as hard as I did this morning but I made it through this so I'm just a little more tired than normal. Luckily I get to cut and stack some more fire wood tonight so that ought to be a nice relaxing evening.

10/59:44 Tempo. Didn't get this workout in last week because life was just crazy. Sort of thought I might do it today but wasn't really planning on it until my day went a little sideways and I needed something to get my mind free for a little bit. Sometimes I just have to walk away and not care for a little bit.
2/14:55 Cool down.

| 10/69:50 Easier run. Legs were still a little weak from yesterday but after 5 miles or so they loosened up and felt fine. Heading to Freeman Park tonight to run with my daughter hopefully I can somewhat get close to what the course is. If not at least she'll know what the terrain is like.
4.1 Miles in Freeman Park with Chloe. 1 Mile warm up then we did 12x200x200. I figured I would try to see if she could do them in 52 as a starting target and try to adjust from there.
1 - 57 2 - 54 3 - 54 4 - 54 5 - 54 6 - 52 7 - 54 8 - 54 9 - 53 10 - 53 11 - 52 12 - 50.
I'm doing this more for my "coaching" reference than anything else. Recovery 200's were between 90-100 with 10-20 second breaks before each 200. She did really good locking into 54. This was her first real interval workout and we'll see if she can continue to be able to handle increased distances at the same pace. At least now I know what her target is. I aslo picked her up directly from 2 hours of dance to do this. She's pretty tired now and I think she did really good. Since dance started I talked with her coach and get to coach her on Tuesdays and Thursdays, should be awesome if I can manage to make Thursdays fun. Best quote I've ever come across "Boys have to run fast to have fun, Girls have to have fun to run fast". I'm trying to take that to heart. She told me tonight that when it got hard she tried to smile and it kept her going.........

| 10.2/1:17 easy recovery run. Legs did not feel good until mile 8. Not sure how this weekend will go. I really don't want to feel fresh going in to it I prefer a little beat up, to give me a good indicator of what I can expect at STG. My wife decided to call me at least 6 times during this run, at the end it was getting a little annoying.

| 8/56 Easy, HR low 130's legs starting to feel a bit better. Almost did a few fast miles but decided against it. I'm thinking just getting the right volume with intensity at the beginning and end of the week. Probably a short run, 3 miles ish, with Chloe tonight.

| Arrived in SLC about 10:30 the night before. Prepped and hit the sack. Woke up at 4:30 ate some oatmeal, gathered the group and left. Bus ended up leaving 30 minutes later than the so called last bus was supposed to which didn't leave much time to warm up. Hit the POP gave my wife a hug and headed to the front. Did a warm up jog with the 1:30 pacer girl and a little more on the way down to the starting line. I looked around at the start and figured it might be interesting for me. Talked to a guy who wanted to run around a 1:15 so I figured I'd have somebody to run with. Gun goes off and 5 guys jump out ahead with 2 guys with me. By mile 1 I had passed 1 guy and dropped 1. The guy with me, not the one from the start, was breathing pretty hard so I figured he wouldn't last long and he didn't. By 2 I was all by myself which is how it would be for the entire race. I knew I was in fifth and if nothing changed that's how'd it end up. The mile markers were off so at some point I just started hitting laps at the markers. Some were short and some were long but the course ended up measuring right. At 6 there was a hairpin and I could see in front and behind real we'll and knew I was in no man's land. I felt my legs feel real soft about 3 miles into this and was wondering how I'd hold up, so I really focused on taking what the course was giving me, pushed when I could and slowed when I needed to. Around 9 I passed a guy sitting with his shoes off rubbing his feet. I the. Figured I was in 4th and focused on trying to maintain my speed through the slight inclines and drops ahead. Mile 12 just sucked and the I got a good boost through 13 and the finish. Good race I feel pretty good where I'm at right now. Planned on a 1:14ish and ran a lot better not really pushing it super hard. Afterwards legs felt great after a short rest and cool down. Watched my wife run a PR at 1:49 with bathroom stop. Great job by her. Pretty chill day afterwards, bounce place with the kids and In and Out Burger. Mile Splits 1-5:49 2-5:27 3-5:36 4-4:22(short) 5-4:42(short) 6-5:16, 7-5:12, 8-4:49, 9-5:06, 10-5:17, 11-6:02(long), 12-5:11, 13-6:00 (long), .1-2:23 (I had .43 from the 13 mile flag) |

| Slept in until 8 or so. Not really anything to do. My wife left SLC last night and I stayed down to catch a flight today so just hanging out with by sister and brother in law. Decided to take a run around South Jordan to test how I feel post race. Pretty soft miles today. Through the first 7 I was a solid 8 min pace then hit a couple sub 7 and slowed down for the last mile or so. Legs felt pretty good once they loosened up. I guess I didn't push overly hard yesterday based on how I feel today which is good. Now pretty much nothing to do but chill and catch a plane back east. |

| AM 7.6 last night flew from SLC to Chicago and then to South Bend. Got in around 11:30. Ordered some pizza and went to sleep. Woke up around 7:30 and ran along the St Joseph River along the UI at South Bend campus. Light rain the whole time but very enjoyable. I was a little tighter that yesterday but felt good after 5. Get there was a different story. Stopped after 1 to stretch which I never do. I try to get in a run at the hotel tonight.
Meetings until 11PM so no chance for a night run.

| Back pretty late to the hotel. Trip got extended 2 days today, should've been home tonight but I guess that's the difference in the new employment. Looked at trailers all day long and doing the same thing tomorrow before most likely pulling an all nighter and figuring out new stocking and employment plans for the company. I was lucky enough to sweet talk the ladies at the desk into opening up the fitness center that had closed 20 minutes before I arrived to open it up for me so I could run. No way was I going to go for a night time run, pretty sure I'd get lost. Took it easy but legs are still soft from Saturday.

| AM - Pitch black when I got up so it was back to the gym. I really wasn't in the mood for it this morning but had no real alternative. First 9 miles in an hour then I decided to do a MP progression for another 5K ended in just over 19 minutes. It was the first time I've been comfortable at any decent type of pace the week. I'll try to squeeze in a night run between meetings but that's pretty iffy.
Back at the hotel after 11PM tonight. I bet I walked at least 5 miles today looking at trailers. My body is just shot. Straight to bed and to leave for the airport by 4:30AM

| AM- 8.8 3 hill loops today. Not sure why I decided to do this. I can tell that my legs aren't full recovered yet even with a flop of a week, last week. I'm a bit concerned about marathon stamina right now. Not sure how I'll hold up with training weeks between 60-80 miles and a few lower. It might be a big postive split or not, really no clue. Life happened right in the middle of this training block and I've been busy to say the least.

| 7.2 I did 1 hill loop today then headed down the hill from some flats. Stomach was a wreck the whole time. A bit chilly out with only short sleeves and no gloves.

| AM - 3.75 Easy with Nikki. Her knee was hurting her quite bad after 1.5 and it was tough getting her home. She thinks she tweaked it at the race. I think she needs to take a couple weeks off. I'm going to try to get in 5-6 at lunch time. Hopefully I can sneak it in.

| 6 these were about 6:37 pace but it was killing me I felt flat the whole time and zero energy. A truck load of stress this week and I don't think it's going to let up any time soon.

| Progression. I thought I wanted to do a tempo for 6 miles just to make sure everything felt ok....but after a 2 mile warm up I went into tempo and if felt lile a tremendous amount of work just getting to 6:00-6:10 range so I backed off and ended up in a progression. Last mile was 5:52 with a sideways and frontal wind but felt like a lot less work then the first attempt at tempo. Overall I'm feeling like crap right now. Legs are heavy and any decent pace seems like way too much work. I told my wife I'm in taper pergatory right now and I hate the feeling.
