What difference a day makes in temps, on my way home from work today it was 70 and I was pumped. So I took off around 5:30  and no wind kind of overcast by the time I hit the top of the golf course it began to rain, and it rained all the way untill home and I was soaked. Weird weather, I did 25 min on the bowflex and some crunches.

For my long run today I went out over harrys hill, then up to the turn around on wooland hills rd. Headed west to mt. loafer rd, then down to the canal rd to home. I did feel good today although the winter weather we continue to have in april is getting a bit tireing. It sonwed the whole way today but was not sticking to the road. It was a great run and very enjoyable. Utah valley marathon is fast approching, hope I can be ready in time.

Today I ran the river trail, I have not done that one for a while. The heavy snow storm we had a few weeks ago sure took it's toll on alot of the trees along the river. Many where down and some of those tress are big. I seen a Marmot today he was making alot of noise when I came up the trail. Kind of cool. Better weahter today a bit on the cool side but still very nice. I will take tomorrow off and hopefully get in a long run on sat morn. See ya then.

Very cold and a srong north west wind today which made for a challenging run. I did the old bishop storehouse route today, tryed to stay below and close to the ridge to minimize the wind. It was still a nice run with some hill work today. I worked for 25 min on the boeflex, upper body work and some crunches.

Nice run out past mini gu corner, my are real whack today not sure why. But it was still a great run. I worked out on the boeflex doing some more upper body. I really need to start eating better, find a good runners diet plan and still have energy for the run.

Today I did my extended golf course loop had to fight the south wind today. I don't think we have had a day without wind either from the the NW or the SW. It is gettingold plus tomorrow is supposed to snpw again, come on winter go away and let us have a spring before the hot weahter gets here. My body seems to be holding it's own with all the training, hope it will hold out stay strong through the Utah Valley Marathon. I will take a full rest day tomorrow and hope for a long run early sat morn.
