First run of 2013.  The last time I ran was Dec. 22.  I've been sick with a bad cough and congestion.  During the time off I went and saw one doctor at insta care he didn't do much for me.  I was also able to get into my regular doctor, he did a chest x-ray and because of my history with chronic coughing he thinks I might have some type of asthma.  He prescribed two inhalers for me so I will see how those work.  He also wants me to do some breathing tests at the hospital in a few weeks.

Anyway today I just did a nice 3 mile run down through Pah Tempe and back.  I really struggled, but it was still nice to get out even though it was rainy weather.

Glad to see you out running again. I hope the inhaler helps.

Well another fun year running the Lake to Lake relay.  This year I was on a team with Bill, Mike, Corrine, and Allison.  I haven't done any racing since the marathon and I'm still really out of shape so I knew today was just going to be about having a good time.

My first leg was down by Tonaquint Cemetery and then over into Bloomington. I was pretty happy with this leg.

1-6:06

2-6:31

3-7:13 up the hill into Bloomington.

4-6:12

26:08 (6:31 avg) 

After my first leg I wasn't feeling too great, I knew the second leg would be a struggle especially with absolutely no running base.

1-6:40

2-7:58 walked some up the hill

3-7:22 feeling a little better

4-7:20- struggling

5-7:35 legs hurting

6-7:33 still hurting

7-7:27 this was the worst mile took forever to get across the dam.

Did the cow field loop with Sunny riding bike pulling Joslin, Jarren rode his bike and then I came home and lifted weights for 20 minutes.

Later this evening I ran over to the park in Zion View Estates and then back home.  Sunny rode her bike with Joslin and Jarren also rode his bike.  I threw in a few surges to race because Jarren wanted to race.

Went and helped gather stuff up from the Zion 100 aid station on the guacamole trail.  I had never been up there, quite the drive and great views, I really should consider doing some runs up there. After bringing the stuff back down to Virgin, Bill and I went and did an easy 5 miles out to Sheep's Bridge Road and a short distance on the JEM trail.  Pretty windy, and Bill had been up all night, so I didn't want to make him run very far.

I ran the Hurricane 5K this morning.  Overall I was pretty pleased with my race.  I took 2nd to a high school kid from Vegas, but not by much maybe 10 to 15 seconds.

3 mile run over to Hurricane Community Center 

1-5:54 High school kid starts off very fast, I had a few mishaps trying to get around this little kid that kept cutting me off the first 400m.

2-6:01 Felt pretty good

3-6:17 Actually gained some more on the high school kid, but not enough to be in place to beat him

.3- 1:43 Disappointed the course was long

I looked at my watch at 3.1 and the time was 18:50

Did 1 mile cool down waiting for awards, then 3 more miles home to La Verkin, now I'm dealing with a nagging cough from running fast.

Sunny drove me up past the Overlook and I did 4 miles easy back home to make it 17 for the day and 50 for the week.

Decided to race a larger 7th grade boy today.  For most of the year he has been running around 12 minutes for the mile, so today I challenged him to see if I could run 2 miles as fast as he could do 1.  Well, I lost the bet, but I guess that is fine.  I ran 11:40 (5:50, 5:50)and he ran 10:40 to my surprise.  I had another kid that wanted to run with me the first mile and he ran 5:50 which was his best time of the year.

After class I did another 5 miles easy out by the school.  Got rained on, but it felt pretty good.

Well this turned out to be a pretty good race for me.  I haven't done a half marathon since last May in Ogden where I ran 1:26.  I guess going into the race today I was just hoping to be close to 1:25 or 1:26.  My training has been better this summer than the past few years, however I still don't feel like I'm getting into very good shape.  Anyway, I ended up running a pretty smart race and finished with a 1:23:41 and 6th place overall, 2nd age group.  I rode up to Parowan with Bill, Logan, and Scott.  I only did a mile warm-up and then we got started right a 8:00 am.  I think this race would be a little better if they started at 7:00 am.  Before the race I met Aaron Langston he lives in La Verkin, and also formally met John Beckstrand.

1-6:30 running on dirt and trying to just take it easy and warm-up

2-6:11 still forcing myself to hold back, in 14th place

3-6:43 still holding back walked through the aid station and drank probably too much gatorade

4-5:35 fun times feeling good, passed a few guys here and started racing

5-5:38 more steep downhill, developing a big blister on my right heel

6-5:38 feeling good

8-6:31 Not so much steep downhill now

9-6:12

10-6:37 stopped and took my shoe off, rearranged sock hoping to help with blister

12-6:52 Hurting quite a bit through town

13-7:56 Not a good finish, stopped and walked a few times.

Today's run put the Landreth at 600 miles, should have retired the shoes a long time ago.  Anyway ran up the La Verkin Twist Trail and got up on top and then ran down to the Virgin River and came out at Pah Tempe.  A nice 9 mile run with some good hills and some slow parts climbing over rocks and around trees.  I had to cross the river and it was kind of interesting, just due to the fact we've had a lot of rain and the river was running a lot faster than usual and I was actually a little concerned where to cross.  I eventually found a place where the water wasn't running as fast.  I threw my ipod and garmin across to the other side in case the water was deeper than I was expecting.  In the end the water only came up to my waist so no swimming needed.  Anyway good run and good way to start off the week.  Starting to get nervous about the marathon.

Enjoyable run this evening.  I drove up to the radio towers just above Hurricane and did 5 miles on the rim trail.  I'm not much of a trail runner, but it was nice to do something different, plus I was able to get away from everything and just enjoy being out running by myself so that was nice.

Kind of bummed with this workout.  Had to deal with a very strong headwind.  Sunny drove me out to Anderson Junction I decided to do 1 mile warm-up down to mile marker 5 then a 4 mile tempo

1-6:02 should have been a lot faster

2-6:17 about what I usually do for this mile, not as much wind running through Toquerville

3-6:45 

4-6:09 too much wind again

25:17 (6:19 avg)

Did a 2 mile cool-down extended over by gravel pit.

I did this same workout back in Feb and ran 12:47 (6:17, 6:30) so a very nice improvement today.

After the workout I went and helped Katie Demille move all her food storage, only like 200 5 gallon buckets.

Nice job. Now all you gotta do is add 24.2 miles at that pace. Sweet.

You running STG this weekend?

From Dustin on Wed, Oct 02, 2013 at 10:59:29 from 204.113.48.131

Yeah I'm planning on STG this weekend. Hoping just to be able to get a Boston Qualifying time again.

Well another STG marathon in the books.  This was my 8th STG marathon and 12th overall, unfortunately they aren't getting any easier for me.  I felt like my training was better this year than last year, so I was confident I would be able to at least run faster than the 3:37 I had last year.  I was really hoping to hit a Boston Qualifer again so the plan was to be conservative from the start and then just see what would happen as the race progressed.  Anyway for the most part I felt pretty good with my race, everything was going pretty good until about mile 20 when I started to get sick (threw-up at mile 20) and cramped up some.  I was on pace for a 3:10, but the last few miles cost me and I came in at 3:14:47.

I actually feel like I'm in better shape than what my time was, but not much I can do about the race now.  I'm encouraged with the time because the last few years have been a struggle for me at the marathon distance.

I still feel like I'm young enough and I have the ability to get back to the faster times that I used to run if I'm willing to put in the time and effort.  Anyway enough rambling... here are the splits from the race.

3 easy miles this morning, been slacking quite a bit lately.  I've been pretty busy and running just hasn't been something I've been chosing to do.  However, the time has come to get back at it.

I ran 3 miles this afternoon did the La Verkin Loop.  Left hip in lots of pain when I got home.
