BACK TO WORK

i have been slacking on logging miles again.  I am going to use my gps to go back and log the miles and other major stuff.

AM we had to go back to work!  I got used to getting up late and running in the late AM

I went to lunch @ Five Guys with Bruin today.  We talked about the Ironman and such.  It was good. 

PM I ran @ 5 today.  I just did a quick 4 around part of the figure 8 and passed the church.  I felt like superman, not because of my pace but i just felt stronger.  I think the bike mileage helps.  (at least psychologically)

School started again today!  It was actually okay.  The new classes have some good students, so it should be a good strong finish for the year. 

I met with the track team for the indoor practice for first time today as well.  None of them are really 100% on board, but I think we will have 5-6 go to the BYU meet next week.  Mark did tell me that he would do whatever it takes to get down in the 4:30s, so I am going to press him hard this year and remind him of the comment after the 4th 1000 repeater!

PM Laurie, Saucie, Kire and I went out and did the Bear Paw again today.  We got out late so we just went from The parking lot to the point of the red mountain.  It was okay, but Saucy didn't want to wear a helmet and she was fired up all the way out.  She laid her bike down on an uphill and she started crying.  I asked her if she wanted to stop and she just said, "no!" and took off faster.  She has got the stubborness of her mother and the temper of her father.  God bless the man that has to live with that! 

I got out for a 5 around the figure 8 with ruger today.  I like running with him because his energy picks me up, but when he is on the leash, he is running right in front of me at times.  Well, we will see how it goes over time.

PM ran with Mark and Kyler for track practice.  We were supposed to hit 7:20X4, so we could do some speedwork.  I was running with the "horses,"  so I didn't want to be the weak link.  The problem was we hit 6:50 the 1st 3, then dropped back to 7:10 for the last one.  These guys haven't been running consistently, so it wsa a good first wek for them.  I don't think I am going to be able to train with them this year, because they are getting too strong. 

Kyler and I did 4X200 @34,33,31,31 Mark didn't do the speedwork, because he ran 3 in the AM.

We should be pretty good in track this year, if we can get out the other xc-ers. 

AM chad and I went a nice easy one around bloomington loop and back to village bank.  We just chatted and enjoyed the perfect weather.  It is not fair that we have such nice weather in Dixie. 

The last 2 miles my IT band started really burning.  I didn't have to stop, but I was sure glad when I was done with the run.  I hate the fact that I am a little injured.  I have never had a problem hang on like this.  The bike has made it worse, so I may have to back off on that a bit.  I have adjusted my pedals now, so we will see how long until iot goes away.

I stretched and iced after the run, and then iced again in the PM

Late PM laurie, the kids, and I took Mom and dad out for a nice mtn bike ride on the Jem trail.  We probably went 6-8 easy miles.  It is so pretty up there and quiet when you are out just pedaling on your own.  Very GOOD!
