Easy morning treadmill, slowly working up to a moderate pace. Then I mowed the lawn (16.3 in 2:07:33)

Really nice lunch run out in the desert. (7.36 in 59:20)

Also had a nice bday with cupcakes, song, phone calls, and board games :)

More fantastic weather at lunch time. Almost a little too warm. Expecting a very warm summer (for Southeast Idaho at least) (7.5 in 59:20)

Easy lunch time run (7.5 in 59:57)

Some strength training before dinner

Treadmill before dinner (5.5 in 43:24)

Happy Mothers Day to all of you wonderful mothers out there! Thank you for keeping this world intact :)

5.86 miles at lunch time. Had to go quick as it was a busy day (5.86 in 47:03)

2 mile warm up, then 45 minutes at M pace (7:30/mi). Felt pretty good, but I'm definitely not ready to run a marathon right now. Good thing it's not until October!

In other news, I signed up for the Idaho Falls Half (July 28). Happy to support Westside Elementary while trying out my first Idaho race. It's weird that I've been in Idaho for over 2 years and haven't participated in a race other than a fun run yet...

Easy lunch time run (7.38 in 59:15)

Easy lunchtime run (7.39 in 59:15)

Decent workout. Slowly getting back into workouts. 2 easy, 6 marathon pace, 1 easy, 4 Marathon pace, long cool down. (17.4 in 2:11:52)

Easy long run (16 in 2:07:15)

Easy morning run. Working from 2pm to 2am today at work to provide engineering and environmental oversight to some work. (10.8 in 1:25:40)

Workout after sleeping 3 hours...

2 miles easy + 3x1 mile threshold pace w/ 1 minute recoveries + 2 miles threshold pace + cooldown

8.8 in 1:05:18

Easy in the evening at the work gym (3.2 in 25:37)

Some strength training

Easy miles in the morning (8 in 1:03:30)

Easy long run in the early AM. (12.7 in 1:41:00)

Pretty tired after a weird sleep schedule (pulling night shifts) and longer morning runs. I think I will skip my 2nd workout of the week.

Easy run at work in the early AM. My left knee has felt strangely loose during two runs this week. They weren't consecutive runs, either. Weird. Also a little strength training for shoulders and core. (6.3 in 49:51)

Easy long run around Holladay, UT. South on Van Winkle, up Highland and then 2300 E, west on 3300 S, South on 700 E. Really pretty, but surprisingly few running paths so a lot of running on the side of the road. Seems like people are mostly out of town luckily.

Some wobbly joints again today. Left knee and right ankle. Approximate M pace effort... Not as good as I wanted (12.51 in 1:37:16)

Cut my lunchtime run after moving 100 feet. My knee was very uncomfortable (I would describe it as a "general discomfort") and I could not move with proper form because of it. Decided to wait and see how it would feel in the evening. Although still sore in the evening, it didn't mess up my form, and it seemed to relax during the run. I know I did a workout yesterday, but it wasn't THAT strenuous. The next few days should shed more light on the issue... (6.7 in 53:05)

Put a little incline and decline on this treadmill run, as the Idaho Falls Half is not very flat...

Easy miles at lunch time, then some weights (4.2 in 32:40)

Went for an outdoor lunch run today. Risked getting caught in what looked like some potentially heavy rain. Turned out to be 10 drops of rain at the most. Ran for an hour, and the knee is feeling better each day. Avoiding workouts for now... (7.42 in 59:20)
