Went and played basketball this morning. I was still feeling kind of bummed. Sunny got in an accident last night, fortunately nobody got hurt, just did quite a bit of damange to our van, good thing we have insurance, but it will still cost quite a bit to reach our deductable. Oh well I guess I shouldn't stress so much about it.

Ran 5 down through Confluence Park, it was kind of cool I saw a fox so I stopped and watched him for a little while. The run wasn't that good, for some reason my body has been really sore lately.  The hips are especially tight.

Day 1 of my 18 week schedule for the Utah Valley Marathon.  The workout today was supposed to be 8 miles total with 4 miles tempo.  Well I did a 2 mile warm-up over toward Hurricane then got right into the tempo, but I planned on only doing 3 miles, just because I don't think I could have handled 4 yet.  I ran out to 700 South then all the way west until the road turns back to the state road.  The tempo went ok, pretty flat surface which was good.

1 mile 6:13

2 mile 6:22

3 mile 6:33  I was really hurting on this mile, thought for sure I was going to have a little "accident" anyway this mile was also slightly uphill

Overall total was 19:12 so not bad (6:24 average)

Ran 1 mile cool-down and barely made it to McDonald's to use the bathroom, then ran to the middle school to use Jordan's cell phone to have Sunny come pick me up, since I wasn't feeling too great.  Anyway, she was busy and couldn't come get me, so I just ran home easy.

Good day, but 10 miles total is quite the workout for me right now.

The first Pah Tempe Hill Workout of the year, also the first time puking during a workout for the year.

The goal was just to hit each under 2:20.  I figured that would be a good goal, especially since I don't know where I'm at fitness wise. 

Did a two mile warm-up then got into the workout.  The plan was just to do3 repeats today.

1-2:10 This one felt super easy, but I made the mistake of going to hard, which caused problems for the rest of the workout.

2-2:16 Wow this one didn't feel good at all. Arms, legs, hips everything just froze up

3-2:18 Well, after puking after the second repeat and taking a little extra rest I attempted the last one.  It felt pretty good until the last little hill, which really wiped me out.

Didn't have time for a real long cool down so just headed back home about 1.5 miles

Anyway, glad I made my way through this workout.  I'm sure these will get easier with time.

Ran all over this afternoon.  Went over to Hurricane then back to La Verkin, then down through Confluence Park on a new trail, which was cool.

Fun run tonight.  I don't do a lot of trail running, but tonight I headed over to the Rim Trail and did an out and back run.  3 miles out just under 30 minutes, and then 3 miles back about the same maybe a little faster.  It was definitely a good workout going up and down the hills. I can't believe I've lived here now for over 5 years and I've never been up on this trail.  I really need to get out exploring more, especially before all the snakes come out.  That is something I really don't enjoy meeting up with when I'm trail running.  Also, the ankles did pretty good just a couple of tweaks on the run.

Basketball this morning

Did a speed workout tonight 3x1000m @ CV pace with 2:00 minutes rest

Still trying to get in shape and legs a little tired from the trail run yesterday, so not really looking forward to this workout.  Anyway did 2 miles easy warm-up then did the repeats over by the cow field

1-3:35 (5:43 pace) This felt pretty good, but it has been awhile since I've done these so I didn't know if I was going to too fast or slow.

2-3:30 (5:30 pace) This one felt more difficult

3-3:35 (5:43 pace) I struggled on this one. 

I might have been able to have done one more, but didn't really feel like it.  I'm sure with time I'll be able to get this times back down to the mid 3:20's

Finished with 2 mile cool-down

Ran 8 miles with Bill this afternoon.  We went from the running store out to the Parkway then did the loop back through Green Springs.  It was a nice run.  My ankle was bothering me a little.  I think it is time for new shoes.  My tax refund can't get here soon enough.

10 miles this morning, with Bill, Steve, Mike, Bruce and James.  We did the tempo run loop from the rec center over to Valley View Drive.  Bill took off from the start and Steve went with him.  Mike also ran a little faster.  I hung back with Bruce and James, but still hit a few miles just under 7 minute pace.  I need to lose some weight as I think it would really help my joints, especially my hips.

Good run this afternoon.  I went from the house over 600 North to the bowling alley then up to Wal-Mart.  I averaged 7:36 for 8 miles.  Ran 6 miles first, then I hit two miles at 6:24 and 6:27, then did two miles cool-down.

Cold, rainy 6 miles this afternoon.  Ran down through Confluence Park, nothing to exciting the river was higher than usual because of all the rain lately.  My legs and hips were sore from the run yesterday.
