Training for Top of Utah 2011

Another day with my buddy Tread Milosevic. I'm thinking this may be my last day hanging out with him. 3 min walk, 24 minute run, 10 minute heavy incline fast walk to keep the HR up.

HR topped out at 150ish and tried to keep it there till the end. I can tell my fitness is way down when my HR gets this high with this small workout. Dang it! At least the health is pretty much back to normal. 

Smoke/bbqing a rib roast and a turkey breast to celebrate Labor Day. Also making Atomic Buffalo Turds(jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese and whatever else you like, then wrapped in bacon) then smoked. Homemade baked beans and coleslaw. Gotta go for some Ice Cold Root Beer with this too. Have some new friends coming over as well as our 3 missionaries.

My buddy Tread was sleeping when I left the house at 6:30 to run the mean streets of Snoqualmie(ridge). 

.1 mile walking warm up then 

3.1 miles of easy/moderate running

.1 mile cooldown walk

9:19 overall pace

Saw my buddy Ben Reynolds out running getting ready for the Leavenworth half. 2 years ago when I ran my first half he ran it as well but he was a lot heavier then and slow. He has gotten much faster from running and swimming and he's trimmed way down.

Yes once again I'm in love with these shoes! Brooks radius!!  2nd run outside and I could feel it. Ran easy to moderate but mostly moderate. Gotta get back in shape soon I hope!

Nice when I went out then it got very foggy. Was able to run part of this on the trail.

Even missed the garbage truck and school bus exhaust! Sweet!!

8:59 pace

30 minutes on the elliptical today. Looking to run 4 times next week...hopefully
