Nice long run today, I was nit sure the firat few miles I kind of felt a bit whach. But by the time I made Harrys Hill the legs decided to get up and go and worked will thriugh out the rest of the run. I did my usual sat long run up over Harrys into Salem, came down by the stk house on canal road. ran over to little Bros {Aka Rambo Jr.s} house to see if he was awake. Found out he was out on his run and ran into him coming up power house rd. He was running well and seemed to be in great spirits. I also threw in a golf course loop to home. Was a nice run still had good legs at mile 16. Been a great week of training. See ya next week.

What a nice day temps were in the med to upper 50's I think the rocky mt.'s are begining to crawl out of winter. I ran out past little bros's mini gu corner today to my mile 4 mark and then back home. My legs did okay kind of on the whack side but good. Lots of people out running, riding bike and walking. It was wonderful to have the sun on the old face and get dome vitamin D.

I hit the wall at mile 7 today just very dead legs no energy. I had a feeling of intense hunger, I know I eat plenty during the day. It was just a real whack run. I did the golf course loop, seen some deer and the golfers were out. Great weather very enjoyable.

I only had time for 6 miles today, it was a good thing my legs are just whack. Not sure how well the race will go on sat, just try and do my best. It was a very nice day temps in the med 60's which made for a very nice run. We will see what tomorrow brings.

Nice race I really enjoy doinfg this one, I also had the opportunity to run this with my Son Bryan, and his Wife Katie. Also my Brother Clay ran with us or I shuold say by us like a bolt of lighting, he said he was injured but I think he was playing possum. My mile splits are as follows.

Mile 1. 7:28

        2. 7:48

        3. 7:31

        4. 7:51

        5. 7:54

        6. 8:04

          .2 6:42

The weather was great not to cold or to hot, I thought it was just right for me. Now that I have completed the runner series I should be in SGM for this year as long as I pay my $85 bucks. What an expensive sport this can be. I enjoy it so.

This week will be a recovery week after sat 10k race. I am feeling alot better than I thought I would, legs are little bit on the whack but not to bad. I stayed at an ever easy pace today and enjoyed the run. I did some work on the bowflex 25 min upper body work and some crunches. Then i hit the big blue roller and rolled out the legs.

Today I did a very slow golf course loop as my legs are still in recovery mode. It took a few miles to get into the run but things finally loosened up a bit and it turned into a nice run. I spent some time on the bowflex 25 min on upper body and some crunches.

Nice run today, I went out past mini gu corner to my 3.5 mile mark and came back. So just a little out in back to work out some of the soreness from sat 10k race. They are feeling much better today and should be ready for a long run on sat. Been a great day another great run.

Today I ran the Bishop Storehouse route with 20 to 25 mile hour wind. It was kind of a brutal run but we stuck with it. Legs are feeling much better today and should be ready for a long run on sat. I spent some time on the Bowflex upper body work and finished with some crunches.

Feeling preety good legs are still a bit whack from last sat Spectrum 10k. I will now start to get ready for the Utah Valley Marathon in June. It has been a great week.

Another windy run around the golf course, it seemed today any direction I ran the wind was in my face. It was still a great though, I did some crunches and some work on the big blue roller.

I got out late today, not until 6 pm or so. I don't like running in the river bottoms when it's dark. It is way spooky and it creeps me out. So I cut it just bit shot today and hopefully tomorrow will go better. I did spend 25 min on the bowflex upper body work and finished with some crunches.

I did the golf course loop today my legs this week are sure on the whack side. Not sure why maybe not enough sleep and lots of hours at work. But it was still a great run and enjoyable.
