Today the wind was blowing hard out of the Canyon, so a golf course loop was out. So I headed out to Harry's Hill, not all the way my 3.5 mile mark and back home. Mostly a flat course which is okay for my legs needed a break after sat. long run. I did okay just enjoyed the run. I did 25 min on Bowflex, upper body then finished with 200 crunches.

A very Brutal run today, I arrived home from work and the wind was blowing hard out of the east, and the canyon. Sometimes it will be blowing hard at my house, but by the time I get to GU Corner there is usually no wind. Not the case today it blew hard the whole run. I went out to my 3.5 mile mark on the way to Harry's Hill and turned back. There were times when it felt like I was not even moving it was blowing so hard, we hung in there and Finished it though. I finished with 200 crunches.

Today I went out towards Harry's Hill to my 4 mile mark and turned back. The weather was nice even though it snowed last night, was able to run in shorts the sun was out and made the roads were really messy from the melting snow. It was still a great run.

Next sat long run will be a 16 miler, then the following 9 and then 18 and so on. I will increas every other week and the tweener weeks will be half. I did this a couple of years again and had pretty much an injury free year. Last year I increased every week and ended up injured for St. George Marathon. So I will increase slowly and keep my finger and toes crossed for the coming year.

I made it into the Grand Slam this year always wanted to try it. I figure I'm not getting any younger so this is the year. My Marathons are as follows.

May 15 Ogden

June 12 Utah Valley

August Park City

Oct. St. George Marathon

If anyone has any advice on training for the Slam I am open to any suggestions. have a great weekend and year of running.
