Why Not?

Ran for about 40 minutes easy. My knees, shins, ankles, feet, and hips are all sore.

Going to try and hit 80 miles this week. Not a great start but I have 6 days left.

AM: 3 miles before work with Sammy Dog. *This is going be a long week I think.* 

Lunch Run: 3 more miles. My legs felt pretty good actually. Going to Park City to run tonight and watch Erica play some soccer. 

PM: Bought some new shoes and just felt like running a workout. The weather was right and my legs felt like crap so I figured what the heck. I went back to the 400's, it's been a few weeks. Ran from the soccer fields to the track (2.7 miles according to the van).

Here are the splits for 8x400 with 200 jog recovery: 71,70,69,69,68,68,69,67

2.7 mile cooldown. 9 total for the workout.

I never felt "good", but the workout was solid. Going to start training with Park City HS on Thursday -- my next workout day. I will be asst coach with the HS so the training will be 5k geared on those days.  Hmmm....Sounds better than marathon training.

Out

AM: 21:00 minutes nice and easy. My legs don't feel terrible. A little foot pain and a little knee pain, but I think I'll be okay.

Lunch: 2.5 miles with Sammy. 40 mph wind gusts made things interesting.

PM: Ran a workout in the high winds with Erica1 mile warmup, 1 mile hard (with the wind most of the way), 1.5 miles easy, 1 mile hard (partly into the wind). 1.5 miles cooldown (the wind got really rough at the end.  6 total

Lunch Run:  Foot was bugging me so I didn't run before work. Plus it was cold and rainy -- double whammy I guess.  Anyway, weather was fine at lunch and Sammy and I put in 3 miles.

PM: Ran from Heber toward Midway, took a little detour down a trail along the Provo River for about a mile. Came back to the main road and decided to run up Memorial Hill. It's a nice long steady grade for about a mile or so to the top. Great views from up there, but it was quite windy as well, and even a little chilly. The way back was all downhill, and so I decided to do an informal tempo run where I ran hard for about 20 minutes or so. I timed the only mile that is marked on the way back -- 5:58. I was happy with that considering it was my 9th mile of the run. Overall a solid day. Foot is feeling OK -- still have to decide which race to run this weekend.

72:00 for the PM run -- I'll call it 10.

3 miles after work easy. CC practice tonight at Park City with the team. I believe we will be running 800's uphill.

PM: 1.5 mi warm up and cool down.  4x800 M uphill at the Park City Ski Resort. The course was very difficult with some not so good footing. The team looks solid. I am anxious and excited to get started training with them. Times really aren't relevant, but our last two were the fastest. We averaged around 2:45-2:50.

2.5 easy with Sammy

PM: 8.5 miles. Ran up Cascade Springs Rd. then back down

Will write report later. See AdamRW's blog for time, etc.
