Ran over to Hurricane High School 2.5 miles, then did a CV workout. I was going to do 5x1000, then after the first repeat I wasn't feeling too good, so I thought maybe only 4, well after the second repeat, I decided hey if I can at least do one more then I'm done. So I ended up only doing 3x1000m with 200m rest/recovery.

1-3:36- feeling ok

2-3:37- feeling bad

3-3:40-feeling terrible

Anyway, not a very good workout. However, I have been a little sick the last few days, and with the colder weather this afternoon, I was glad I got out and attempted a workout. I do think with a little more training I will be able to do these workouts and see some positive results.

4 miles on the treadmill,wasn't too bad, just put on some Dave Matthews Band and ventured off into my own little world. Still feeling like I have a chest cold, so didn't go for too long tonight. 4 is better than nothing, which is what I thought it was going to be until I forced myself onto the treadmill. So far this month has been my best/most consistent month of training since September.

Basketball this morning, lots of running very few baskets made, one of those off mornings, but still glad I got up and did something. Hope to get in a few miles tonight. I've got staff meeting after school, then Driver's Ed for a few hours, and a Scout Court of Honor at 7. Not much time tonight. Last night I raced the 8:00 minute guy on the treadmill and came in tied right at 32 minutes for 4 miles.  Tonight, I picked it up a little and finished my 4 miles on the treadmill in 30 minutes, so I beat the 8:00 minute guy by a good two minutes.

Really good run with the club tonight. I finally felt in good enough shape to extend the run with Dave, Steve, and Mike to make it 10 miles, instead of the 7 mile route I've been running the last few weeks. The first 5 miles felt pretty good, but once we hit the golf course I was struggling and wasn't looking too forward to the next 4 miles uphill, to make matters worse I was feeling some hot spots like blisters coming on and Steve was already increasing the pace. Anyway, I tried to block it all out and just decided to push it for 3 miles and things actually starting feeling pretty good. The last few miles were the fastest of the whole run and they were all uphill, so I was happy about that. I just need more quality runs like this. 10 miles average 7:19

Basketball this morning. Planning on doing six miles tonight and an easy 10-12 mile run tomorrow. Went to bed too late last night and up too early this morning, now I'm dragging a bit.

Ran 8 miles tonight, down past Pah Tempe, then back up into La Verkin over 100 East, then out to the Gravel Pit, through Trails Subdivision, and back home through Confluence Park. The run felt pretty good, until I hit a good stretch of mud and added some extra weight to the shoes.

Busy day, but I knew I needed to get in at least 8 miles so that I could hit my goal of 50 miles for the week. After spending much of the day helping my father in-law with a tiling job and listening to President Hinckley's funeral I finally got my run in late this afternoon, and it turned out to be a really good run. Sunny drove me up past Toquerville and I did a two mile warm-up followed by a 4 mile tempo, then 2 mile cool-down.

Splits-

Warm-up: 7:45 average

Tempo

1-6:15 feeling easy, nice downhill

2-6:24 running through Toquerville rolling

3-6:16- I was most pleased with this mile, the first part has some uphill leaving Toquerville, but I really worked the last half of this mile and into the last mile

4-5:53 zoomin' downhill and trying not to get hit by cars, this is a real narrow section of road.

Time: 24:50 so a 6:13 average

Cool down: easy two miles up the hill into La Verkin and back home.
