Run Derneld, Run!

Little tired. (14 in 1:48:23)

Finished my run, then found out the highway was closed due to weather. (12.7 in 1:38:47)

10 strides. Woke up nearly at the normal time! (7.6 in 0:57:28)

Early treadmill. Got hit by a bout of nausea very suddenly 5 minutes after stopping. Not sure why, but it wasn't fun having to keep going anyway. Had to catch the bus. (11.5 in 1:27:36)

Small aerobic builder. (6.9 in 0:51:36)

Mostly easy with some moderate splits. (15 in 1:54:05)

Tired from yesterday, but tried to push still. I am fatter, lazier, and slower than I usually am 17 weeks before a marathon. The biggest problem though is that I don't even care that much! (15.4 in 1:55:50)

Woke up at my normal alarm time and whipped out a small but good aerobic builder. 7.5 to 8.8, increasing by .1 at half-mile intervals. (7.2 in 0:53:08)

Easy 80 minutes (almost). (10.1 in 1:18:43)

10 strides. This felt really good. I think my body is readjusting to a hard pace, even if it is for short durations.

Light and easy long run. (13 in 1:40:19)

Early treadmill. We went out for a special Valentine's dinner last night. BJs Bayou is by far the best place I've eaten around here. Everything we had was nice and they made the bananas foster right in front of us! I could feel the weight of southern comfort this morning while running though! (9.8 in 1:16:20)

Easy lunch time treadmill at work (3.3 in 0:25:21)

Excellent aerobic builder. Feeling pretty strong. After my pacing job in 2 weeks, I'll start marathon-specific training. (16 in 1:57:14)

Easy treadmill. Traveling to Charleston SC for work through the last half of the week. Going to be very busy and not sure if I'll get much running in. (9.9 in 1:16:10)

10 strides on the treadmill. Strides are feeling very comfortable now. Time for repetitions.  (7 in 0:52:14)

10 miles at race effort. Felt pretty good! Fueled by Laffy Taffy. Will be traveling all day to get to Charleston, SC. (14 in 1:41:07)

Wetlands run. (8.67 in 1:13:50)

Hotel treadmill. I guess I brought the bad weather with me to Charleston... (11.9 in 1:31:05)

Ran out to Fort Sumter National Monument, by the old US Customs building, and past the Battery in Charleston. Timed it so I'd be in the east beach when the sun rose. Beautiful! (16.36 in 2:22:27)

Treadmill with some incline. 5 days until Zions. (10.4 in 1:19:59)

Small workout to shake the holidays off before this weekend. 3 sets of 1 mile at threshold pace with 2 minute rests. All at incline. (7.2 in 0:51:39)

Treadmill with incline. Got started a little late. (6.4 in 0:49:40)

Started this one too early... easy long run. (15 in 2:00:00)

Easy shakeout run through Cottonwood Heights. I am definitely a little more tired from yesterday's run than I should've let myself get with a pacing gig tomorrow... (6.85 in 1:00:11)

This run is almost entirely uphill, and I thought it would be harder than it was. I had a pace partner this time, and I hardly thought about the effort the entire time. Many good conversations. The rewarding feeling want as great here as when pacing the St George marathon last October. Nobody is shooting for a BQ when you're pacing a half marathon. The views were majestic running towards Springdale, and I bet they're a little prettier when you don't have to pay the $145 entry fee!
