Run Derneld, Run!

6.4 in the early AM. Felt weird at the end of it, and the feeling went away completely 5 minutes after I stopped running. (6.4 in 49:35)

2.6 easy before dinner (2.6 in 20:30)

Basketball with the EQ at 9pm. This was my first time trying a sport other than running in years, and I was quite terrible. Luckily it was with a fun group.

Ran outside at lunch time today. SE Idaho has been having an amazing winter. (7.03 in 59:15)

Mild aerobic builder in the early morning. (15.7 in 2:00:25)

I've been recovering slowly from soreness all week, and I'm not sure why. Going to skip my afternoon jaunt and get a longer rest.

4.4 in 35:00 @ 3% incline. Didn't have as much time at lunch today.

3.4 in 25:45 w/ 6x30sec strides w/ 1 min recoveries

Lunch time workout. 5x1 mile at threshold pace. Averaged around 7:00/mile. Definitely NOT back where I was pre-tendinitis. I feel like I'm relearning how to run fast. (7.04 in 53:18)

6.48 in 52:01 at lunch time. It was a progress easy to moderate run with a few strides. I was pleasantly surprised to not have any soreness from yesterday's workout, considering how little hard effort I've been doing lately.

5 in 38:44 on the treadmill before dinner. Feeling really good today.

6.33 easy at lunch time in 53:06

3 easy before "dinner". Just a five-minute rush to mix edible things and eat before scouts really. Still good though.

Easy-moderate long run. Slowly accelerated to goal marathon pace (7:09/mi) and then back down (19.8 in 2:30:40)

Easy after lunch on treadmill. (10.7 in 1:22:14)

6.3 easy miles at lunch time. (6.3 in 49:26)

2.6 easy before dinner. Really fun night with family! (2.6 in 20:14)

5.5 easy with strides at lunch time. The first 5 minutes had to be on the hamster wheel since the power was out for some construction work. Also some strength training. (5.5 in 42:26)

2.7 easy before dinner. (2.7 in 20:58)

Early workout (for a work day).

5x1mile @ lactic threshold (9-9.1mph) w/ a strong last minute on the last one (one minute at 6:00/mi). This workout felt surprisingly easier than I was expecting. I was tempted to go harder, but this is the level of fitness I was at pre-tendinitis, and I decided to log this one the way I would expect it to go, and then try a little harder next week. This got me pumped!

6.4 easy at lunch time. (6.4 in 49:31)

2.7 easy in 20:18. Right before our Valentine's Day dinner. We do V-Day dinner before or V-Day, and we do it with out kid, but still fun. Tried out Arugula Deli, a more unique restaurant that is pretty good. I had a delicious quinoa beet salad. (2.7 in 20:18).

6.6 with strides at lunch time. (6.6 in 40:18)

5.1 before dinner. I guess we are in a quinoa mood. Today's dinner was quinoa with roasted butternut squash, zuchini, and red onion. (5.1 in 40:18)

Good workout today. 15 miles at goal marathon pace (7:09/mile) on the treadmill. The ice outside is mostly gone, but the wind has made me a chicken. I was feeling most exhausted about 5 miles into this workout, then started feeling steadily better throughout the rest of the run. 

6.6 with strides at lunch time (6.6 in 49:50)

2.9 easy before dinner (2.9 in 22:32)

Solid workout at lunch time. 3x(2miles threshold with 2 minute recovery). This was a tought workout the last time I did it, which was in my last training cycle for the STG marathon. It went really well, and I even picked up the pace in the last mile of the last split with a good kick. Normal pace was 6:40/mi. Last mile was 6:34-6:20/mi, with the last minute as a 6:00/mi kick. (7.3 in 50:03)

3 easy miles before dinner. (3 in 23:57)

6.3 easy at lunch time. Definitely feel slightly sluggish after yesterday's workout. (6.3 in 49:31)

3 easy before dinner.

Opened up my running bag at work. Found that I had packed a shirt, boxers, and...another shirt...oops! No running today

Good easy long run, slowly picking up the pace while staying comfortable. Felt really good (20 in 2:32:16)

Easy 90 minutes. Kinda tired though...

In Tucson for a week of training. Running on the Santa Cruz River Parker. 8.04 miles in the morning with strides. 8.17 in the evening.

9.05 in the morning on the Santa Cruz River parkway trail with a fast final mile.

4.34 in the evening in the neighborhood around the Tucson temple. There were some good hills for incline training and the temple was also beautiful. It has a Jerusalem-like dome design.

Woke up to a power outage. Finally came on at 6am. I went to the hotel gym and used the loudest treadmill I've ever heard for 5 miles.

2.6 during lunch break (2.6 in 20 minutes)
