I ate way too much food over the weekend.  I went and played basketball this morning, but did feel too great.

Starting my 18 week training cycle for Utah Valley today.  I'm actually a lot more excited this year, compared to where I was last year.  I'm really hoping I can get back into decent shape this year.

Pretty decent workout this afternoon.  I did a 2 mile warm-up then started a 4 mile tempo run over on 400 South.  I did a loop out past the school.

1-6:09

2-6:27- a little uphill

3-6:02- starting to hurt and wanting to be done

4-6:14

Overall 24:55 with a 6:13 average.

Did a two mile cool-down

I'm a going to try to continue doing tempo runs on this route as it is pretty flat and fair.

Wow...Just looked at your Blog...You have a lot of races planned for 2011. Is that typical for a "real" runner?

A lot of the races will be used more as workouts. I really have a goal to run a 1:15 in a half this year and a second goal is to run a better marathon than I've ran the last few years.

Looks fun...I'm just running my first Half in a couple of weeks...hoping to break 1:45...then another two weeks after that to break 1:40. I've been running about 8 months so I really don't know what to expect...I Just Run
