Todays long run started off on the cold side but about halfway through it was nice and comfy temps. I went out over Harry's Hill and came out by the church on canal rd. ran over past little bros house and then back to gu corner. From there I did a golf course loop back to gu corner, then headed down to the bishop's storehouse to home. I did get pretty tired the last couple of miles, bur all in all it was a great run.

The last mile rain and wind. Spring time in the rockie mts. makes for some fun runs. My legs felt suprisingly good after sat 24 miler. I finished with 25 min on the bowflex and 200 crunches.

Nice long run today, with perfect running conditions weather wise. It warmed up quick once the sun broke over the mountain. I went out over Harry's Hill, came out onto Canal Rd. by the Stk Cntr. Then over past little bros house, from ther back to GU Corner, a Golf Course loop back to Gu Corner. Then down to the Bishop Storehouse, turn around back to Gu Corner, then Home. Mile 20 on I still had good legs I think I have found a good training plan for me and will follow it through out the Summer Marathon training. I feel I am ready for Ogden on may 15th Keep my fingers crossed. Have a great weekend all.

Yahoo taper time,  todays long run took me out over Harry's Hill and acroos Woodland Hill's Drive, I came out by the Stk. Cntr. onto Canal Road over to Little Bro's House.  From there back to Gu Corner for a refule, Then a Golf Course loop back to Gu Corner and Home. I did feel pretty good through out the run today. It has been a fun winter of training and I feel blessed to reach this point in my training. I am looking forward to the taper, so far no know injuries just the usual little aches and pains that go along with the training. I feel Like I have a good training plan that has seemed to work well and plan on using it through out the summer for rest of the Grand Slam events that I have entered. I am excited for the challenge it will bring and opportunities to hopefully grow physicaly and spiritualy. It has been another great run today and hope all is doing well. Have a great weekend.

With the reduced miles over the weekend mt legs had a little bit more zip to them today. I did feel good and pushed a couple of miles. I am in taper mode for Ogden Marathon in a few weeks so I have to be careful not to over do it. I did 25 min on the Bowflex, upper body work, and finished with 200 crunches.

No Hurricane force winds today just had to deal with rain, sleet and some snow. The winter just seems to want to hang on, cant wait to run in 90 degree weather. I did the the Bishop Store house route today, my legs are still kind of whack. Still a great run though.
