Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. - Psalm 86:1-7 Favorite Blogs: |

| 6:30am...I met Craig at the corner and we had a great run around the river and through Freeman Park and back. Great conversation, decent pace and lots of fun. We saw lots of runners out this morning...most looking for Easter eggs from Bill's Bike and Run. Hard to find as we heard that the runners were out earlier this morning. Ran into Marlin, Mauri, Deborah, Eric and Tim and the store running group and many others. 12 miles total in about 1:33. Had some shin pain which was new...not bad but noticable. Man, this old body of mine...(Launch 2)
1.25 miles with Katelyn at the track to try out her spikes. My left shins is really painful, taking tomorrow off to let it relax. (Ride 3 2015)

No lunch run today. Took my son to PT to work on his calf (gastroc tendon and hamstring tendon strain) and also asked about my shin. I am struggling to understand how his coaches "system" is working if over half his faster athletes are injured mid season due to frequency of speedwork/timetrials and volume.
We all need to get our regularity of our stretching/strengthen back on par.

| Skipped my morning run to continue to let my shin splint issue resolve. Focused on some good stretching and rehab exercises.
5 slow easy miles at lunch. Shin pain still there, but manageable. It would come and go and feels pretty good now after the run. (Mirage Red)

| 5am...3.5 miles with Moxie on a nice morning. A sucky mix of run and walking as my shin was not cooperating. Try to get in to see the PT today. Very frustrated. (Ride 3 2015)
1.5 mile walk with Kami at the park after breakfast with a friend. (Boost)
20 mile bike ride in about an hour with Kami on a very nice day. No shin pain until afterwards when I was walking around. I have to do this more often, it was fun! Going to PT this afternoon.

| Justin, Kami and I went to spinning class this morning. Kami and I did 2 classes, Justin one and some weights and stretching. 2 hours, nearly 40 miles of spinning. Speed class first, then hill intervals. Leg felt good...still not running.
Katelyn and I went to the track for her to practice in her spikes.

Spinning class after work with Kami (and Justin for a while until his leg hurt too much). Good hard circuit workout.

| Got to the gym early and tried to see how my leg would do with some easy running. Got to 1/2 mile and pulled the plug as it started to tighten up.
Long good spinning morning before and in the class. Speed interval day.

| 4:30am...45 minutes on the spinning bike, working on keeping a high turnover. Good workout. At home did stretches and rehab. Still on the mend, nearly there.
2.25 miles doing a couple loops of Freeman Park on a beautful day at lunch. Shin did ok, but I was not going any futher. (Mirage Red)

Happy Anniversary to my wife, 22 years of awesome times!
25 mile bike ride with Kami on a beautiful day. Took off from the house and rode up to Foothill Drive over to Lincoln and attacked the hill. Turned around and came back the same way, only stopping for lunch with my beautiful and fast riding partner. What a good day!
Watched Katelyn rock the track meet and run a 6:59 mile (14 second PR!)!

| 7:30am...I slept in a bit and waiting to go out with Justin (so I could run with him in case it hurt) and Moxie. 2.5 miles with Justin...he is doing ok but it was a bit tight for his calf.
I went back out for some more and finished off 7.25 mile with no pain! Great to be back out at it especially on such a beautiful morning! (Launch 2)
On a sad note, a cycling friend of Kami's passed away tragically last night.
Good time tonight watching the Real Salt Lake soccer game at Rio Tinto! Nice evening, great time with kids. Nice walk to and from the hotel.

| 6am...slept in a bit and had a cup of coffee before heading out for a run on a nice morning. Ran out on San Marino and over past the Jordan temple and back for a total of 8 miles. Went back to the room to see if either kid wanted to run. Instead had breakfast and played in the pool before going back out for 4 miles over to the JRP and a mile out and back. 12 miles total for the morning, no shin pain (not fast either).
Good church service at Good Shepherd then the drive back home.
Going to be a busy week, lots going on every evening!

Ran with them catching up on life events. Ran most of my 6 mile run with them enjoying the early morning company. (Ride 3 2015)
10K at lunch in just under 43 minutes. Warmish and windy. 2 slower miles (7:05ish), 3 decent miles (~6:45), 1.2 slower (7:10ish) as my shin started to twinge at 5.5M so I slowed down back to the building. (Mirage Red)

5 miles along Sunnyside with Moxie. Dropped her off then ran through SRL to Bill's (stopped to say Hi) then around the east side of the river pathway (saw Charlie and Mike, have not talked to them in quite a while!) then back home. I threw in many harder paced sections. 11.3 miles total on a glorious day. Now for some yardwork chores to catch up after being gone for several weekends. (Ride 3 2015)

10.5 miles around the greenbelt. Ran to the store for the group run but did not end up running with the group. Last 3 miles really sucked as my energy level was low and my lower back was starting to hurt (likely from yesterday's yard work.). Glad to get it done. Now to go watch the Tiger/Grizz meet and Justin run the freshman mile. No elite/coaches mile for me this year as I am still not quite back to racing form. (Launch 2)
2.5 miles with Katelyn in the neighborhood focusing on form corrections. Fun run! (Bikila)

| I was planning on running with Curt this morning, but the weather was bad (cold, windy, rain/snow). Decided to wait to later after church.
I went with my family to the gym to lift weights then went out for a run on decent afternoon. 7 miles through SRL around the southern greenbelt loop. I would run easy for a song, then hard for a song. OK run, but a bit stiff at times. (Ride 3 2015)

Beautiful day at lunch! Decided to try to run a bit harder so I did a "easy" MP tempo effort run. 10K in 41:35. Started off easy for about a quarter, ran hardeer for a few miles, then eased back at the end. Splits: 6:45, 6:49, 6:37, 6:39, 6:35, 6:58, 1:15 (0.2). Good run, effort felt harder but not hard. (Mirage Red)
4.1 miles after work with Moxie through the neighborhood, just nice and easy. I have had really bad chafing this week, must be the hot weather. (Tangent)
