BACK TO WORK

PM I ran the LV elem loop with an extra loop around the park.  I pushed pretty hard on the middle miles.  Just around 7 a mile with the end miles being 7:30.  With the uphills in the course it was a good push for me.

PM Ran with the track boys.  They did a great job.  We did a small tempo today.  I am getting too slow for them, but it was fun to try to stick with them for 3.5 of it. 

mile 1-7:15

Mile 2-6:00  I tucked in behind mark and kyler.  They pushed air for me, and it was a blast to run with them.  They are both just long lungs.  So smooth!  I hate them for that! 

Mile 3-6:10 I lost them about 600 meters into this mile and dropped back with Brigham and Brady to finish out the tempo. 

Mile 4-7:30  Kire showed up during my 3rd mile, so on the cool down mile he ran with me.  He is fun to run with as well.  What a great kid!

PM logan and mark tried to kill me today.  We ran to and up Web hill today.  It was tough. I think we will have to do that a few times when track starts up.  I sure like running with mark out there, because I have to push just over the edge of my comfortability.  It will make me faster. 

He has a great attitude.  He told me that he just thinks about all the other runners just hanging out during the off-season and he knows his work will pay off during the season.

We head up to BYU with the team on Friday.  It should be good to see where the times are.

Had practice today.  We had a few of the distance girls out, and brady and brigham.  Kyler went with the sprinters, because there was no one there to push him. 

I timed Merick today in the 100 M.  The kid can blaze.  he is just over 11 with no blocks and no one to run with.  I told him he shouldn't waste his talent.  I think i can get him out to a few meets this year.

Picked Kire up from guitar practice and was late for my run with Chad.  I hate the traffic @ 5 on bluff!

PM met Chad late but all the stress went away when I got out on the road.  We did 6 from GWA out to ft. pierce.  Very little traffic.  A head wind out.  I was feeling good on the way back until mile 4.  My dang IT band is not getting better.  We finished around 7:50 for the 6, so just nice and easy. 

Iced in the car while I drove sauce to dance.

Watch taylor play b-ball @ DHHS tonight.  Hurricane lost.  I was torn between the teams because of Taylor.  She and Angela Shields from Hurricane decided to go run this weekend @ the Y.  They are good kids. 

PM Chad and I went out from

AM ran in Lehi today.  It was blasted cold.  We stayed at greg and marsha's last night before the Y indoor meet.  The air has been so bad that they have recommended not to have young kids out for long periods of time.  Who the heck would wnat to live in a place like that.  anyway, my ITband is still a mess.  It will be good to take a sunday and rest.  I need to be healthy to get up to the mileage I want before UVmarathon.  I know that is still out a ways, but it is not getting better.

We took 9 athletes total to the Y meet.  Rey did quite well.  3rd out of +/-180.  Not too shabby.
