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: |

5 miles in 33:55 two loops arond Sugarhouse park and back to the house. Focused on something we were talking about at the class yesterday...the importance of front side mechanics (mostly relative to sprints) but it has application to endurance events. I think by incorporating a better knee drive I will have more efficient power in my stride. (ride)
Finishing up USATF coaching ed class today then heading home. This will be a long day of sitting! |

Got home a little late last night (10:30) and had a bit of a scratchy throat, so when Kami got up to go to spinning, I almost slept in. Ended up going outside on a great morning for a run with Moxie. 10K untimed, but it was at a very honest pace with about 1.2 miles at a quick pace (MP). I am focusing on my front side mechanics a bit to make my stride better. I am a hamstring runner but have been neglecting my knee drive lately to help develop effcient power. If I can just get that as a natural aspect of my stride, the cost of the USATF coaching education class was worth it!
A beautiful day at lunch, I wish I had shorts but I didn't bring them so I was almost overdressed! Sunny, warm (42 degrees) and calm made for a good run. 7.25 miles in 48:37...1 mile w/u, 5 miles at fast easy pace/slow MP (6:20, 6:30, 6:34, 6:28, 6:26), 1.25 miles cooldown. I again focused on knee drive and straight power down and it made the run pretty easy in combination with my normal stride...this should be a good improvement. (Cortana)
Kami finished her spinning class competition (Ride Across America) in third place...she worked really hard! |

I had a hard time getting up this morning, a bit tired and with a scratchy throat. Managed to get up but decided on the gym due to the windy morning and waning motivation. Ran next to Marlin for the whole run which was helpful in keeping going instead of stepping off. I ran 9 miles in 59:25 with the last 1/4 at 5:02 pace. A better run than I was expecting this morning. (Kinvara)
I am in a training class for the next three days, so lunch run timing is unknown. We did have a longer break today, but when I went outside it was getting colder, very wind (30mph) and starting to snow...so I went back in to eat lunch and catch up on work instead. |

No run this morning, felt like crap so I slept in. Sore throat, headache, bodyaches. If I am feeling better and have a decent break at lunch I will try short one then.
7 miles 47:45 on a beautiful day at lunch on the break from the worthless training course I have to take for my work. (Ride) |

8.4 miles with Curt early this morning in 1:02:30. We ran through SRL and to Broadway (ran fast for about a mile to catch Marlin). On the way back we ran into Andrea who was just heading out. A good run (with Moxie too!) with a good friend, always a fun thing to start the day. Now for the last day of my horrible training. (Ride)
Got done with training (early!) and had a chance to get out on a beautiful day at lunch for a bit of speed work. Warmed up for 1.5 miles, then into 4x0.5M with 0.25M recovery (~2-2.5minutes). Odd splits with a bit of tailwind, even with headwind: 1-2:34, 2-2:41, 3-2:34, 4-2:40. During the last two intervals I had a bit of intestinal distress and back stress, so I decided to forgo a 5th interval. 1.75 miles back to the office for a total of 6 miles in 41 minutes. (Cortana) |

Got out the door at 4:30am to meet Curt for a run. His knee was really bothering him so he decided to cut the run before we started. I ran home and grabbed Moxie and we ran down Sunnyside. On the way back ran into Lynette and we ran together for about 3 miles. We peeled off to home and finished off 9 miles in around 1:13 for a nice easy recovery run. (Ride)
3 miles in the late afternoon just to enjoy the 50 degree weather. It was great!
Kami is off for the weekend to Moab for the Skinny Tire Festival with some girl friends, so the kids and I are going to have some time together! Have fun Kami enjoying the beauty and warm weather in Moab.
Had a great time with running group at The Cellar last night. |

We went out a bit later to try and get some warmer weather and sunshine. Cache, Craig, Curt, Marlin and I drove to the top of the Sunnyside hill and ran down then onto the big rollers out towards Bone. A good 14 mile run with a bit extra at the end in 1:44:35 (7:13 average). A really great hill training run, glad we did it...gonna have a to do a few more of these before Boston! (Ride)
Now for a day with the kids...swimming, movie, games...fun! 20 laps swimming with the kids,
I went out with Moxie when the kids were playing at the neighbors to enjoy the 55 degree weather. Ran with Caleb for about a mile as he was finishing his 32 mile run! 4 miles in about 30 minutes for a nice easy warm weather run. |
