moderate to easy pace today. Ran about 25 minutes then stretched real good and ran a couple of miles more around the track with some easy strides on the straightaways to loosen up. Legs are alright from saturday's long run but a little tired. Not sore though, and I actually felt very good today. Made it a point to eat good stuff today and I felt it. Oh, and thanks for everyones help on the marathon stuff. I'm gonna finish this last week of track season easy and then start to get into the mileage within the next week. I've kinda been helping out with and training with the HHS track team to get back in shape after not running for 2 years so that's what I've been doing But as soon as the season is over next week its base building time. Woohoo! |

1/2 mile warmup. 40 minutes 6 miles on the Angel Heights loop with a couple of extentions. Moderate pace about 6:40 average with a lot of wind so faster on the way out and slower coming back. Left leg felt much better though still a little weak. But it doesn't hurt anymore so that's good :) Anytime I started to feel it I eased off on the effort and made it through alright. Followed that with 1/2 mile cooldown and some good stretching. Felt great! Man, I know I complain about it too much but I am sooooo tired of the wind. I can't even get a good relaxing run in because I have to fight the wind at least half the time if I'm lucky and it doesn't change direction. Is the wind not blowing ANYWHERE?? Grrrr. Well, it's supposed to quit tonight so I'm crossing my fingers. And toes. And any other extremity that can be crossed. Looks pretty funny:)

I felt really good today. Hamstring/calf is hardly bothering me anymore so I went fairly fast. Almost 5 miles @ 6:10 ish--some variation to make it interesting. Plus half mile warm up and half mile barefoot cool down on the infield. Didn't kill myself though. Looking for a long run tomorrow but not as long as last week. NO WIND! YIPEEE!

| Man, I just watched Luke Puskedra run an 8:54 3200--how could I not run? Came home after watching the boys take 2nd at State Track (YEAH!) and watching Karl absolutely tear it up and I was really motivated and even though it was 9 PM I went for 10 miles. 67 minutes, so between 6:40 and 6:45 pace the whole way. Felt great, especially the last 5 miles. Really relaxed and felt like I could run the whole marathon that way. And it was an absolutely gorgeous night. Perfect temperatures. Went on the Bench Lake loop (plus 1/2 mile on the track to make even 10) so I was out in the fields smelling the fresh cut alfalfa and the irrigation was running so I hit some nice cool spots, and it was almost a full moon so I could see everything almost plain as day. Ahhhh! That's what running is all about. Or at least part of it:) Great day today. |

| Slow easy 4 mi. I think I'm gonna kinda take this week off. I just feel really tired and worn down when I run and I think I need a rest before I hit the miles hard. So I'm gonna take a couple of days completely off and then maybe just short jogs for the rest of the week. |

| Taking the day off. Knees and thighs are sore for some reason. But that's alright. This week is healing week. Bought some new shoes today. Saucony ProGrid Guide's. Feel very nice compared to my hashed Asics. Never liked asics anyway. Anyone know warning signs of knee injuries? Just curious. It's normal for me to have my knees be a little sore for a couple of weeks after starting mileage training, but where I haven't run long mileage for 2.5 years and stuff I just want to make sure I don't screw myself up like my dad did.

Today went on a nice easy run with the McCombs boys. 6 miles counting warmup and cooldown. Probably around 7 min. pace I forgot to keep track. I need to get a watch but I hate wearing them. Behind my knee still feels funny right in the middle but I think it will just take some time to go away as long as I'm careful. Knees felt fine. Just felt a little sluggish and not very smooth but it will get better as I get more and more in shape and get some more miles in. Guide 8.5 (I'm cool too) |

Ran Goulds Rim trail. Quicker than I wanted to, but most of my trail runs are because I have to get the turnover going to miss all the rocks so I don't trip. Nice though. About 33-34 min. ish. I really need to get a watch so I don't have to go by my car clock:) Anyway, was quite sore from work and from 2 hours of full court basketball RM style yesterday, but after a sluggish and stiff start it was alright. upper calf/lower ham problem keeps bugging me but it gets marginally better every day so that's a good sign. Anyway, I'm going to hit the sack. Real tired after sorting and stacking about 500 pallets today. groan. Guide 14.5

moderate pace almost 4.5 mile run which felt alright but I haven't pushed at all for awhile so it felt a little weird to go faster than normal but alright. also a couple of warmup laps and I also did a couple of 100 M strides/accels just to get out on my legs and see how it felt. Didn't feel my calf/hammie today either so that is great. Guide 23.5 |

Angel Height's loop plus 2 laps warmup. I really need to find some other 5 mile loop. I'm sooo bored with Angel Heights. Anyway, felt really slow the first 4 miles, then the last mile I got rollin' and felt really good--too bad it wasn't sooner...but it was overall a good run. I'm not looking for too much speed this week so it's alright if I go slow. But I think I am starting to get back into shape for mileage little by little. Oh, and I think I am pretty much over that injury or whatever it was...will start easing into more mileage. I was being real careful this week and especially last week to not overtax it, but I've tested it out a couple of times the last couple of days and it feels a lot stronger, though not 100% yet. But soon.... Guide 29.0 |

Went 4.5 with Karl today. Felt crappy. I don't know what the deal is. I'm just tired all the time. I get 6-8 hours of sleep per night so that's not the problem but just feel drained. Maybe it's work I dunno. Oh well, I'll get used to it I'm sure. Guide 33.5 |

8 miles went out past towards the airport and then about a third of the way up Molly's Nipple where there's a trail that cuts off and goes up the canyon. Just went a little ways on that.

8.5 (I clocked it out on the course tool and near as I could figure it was 8.5) on a sweet trail with Karl, Dave, Dustin, Steve, and others. Lots of uphill at the start with a steep downhill crash course near the middle and some more uphill towards the end. Felt really good today for a change. Maybe I'm getting it back. Good day today!

Went 8.5 today w/ the XC guys...well, for like the first mile or so anyway...took it easy for the first couple to help them out and then got a good pace rollin. felt good today so I ran somewhat hard but not killer pace. Felt way good though. Especially for a monday. Looking forward to this week...especially the USG 10k on Friday...by the way, any hints on racing a 10k...strategy, pace, etc??...this will be my first one and actually the longest distance I have ever raced. But I am sooo stoked. I actually feel very good so far this week. Guide 80 |

slow run around Hurricane Fields. Just tried to keep it easy to moderate even though the stupid wind was blowing. Felt pretty good although my legs were a little tired from yesterday.

Well, for my first 10k ever I think I did alright... Started out too fast...first mile was 4:54ish so I cooled down after that a little. Didn't figure Holt and Hayden would start out THAT quick so I hung right around them that first mile. Felt pretty reasonable though so I just found my pace and stuck with it as best I could. 5k was still 15:50 which was surprising to me and very good news considering my current abilities (or lack thereof,compared to pre-mission). Last half of the race really sucked...the downhill combined with my old cross country waffles that I have decided are too small really started to hurt my feet and lower legs. The last 2 miles were excruciating. I physically could have run much faster but it just hurt so bad on my feet and stuff that I was practically jogging on some parts so I didn't run nearly as hard as I could have that last bit. But once I got on level ground with 800 or so to go I turned it on and had a good finish with too much left. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the whole bit. I was shooting for anything under 35 min. so that part was good...and my legs really didn't bother me as much as I expected so that is good too. I would really like to try a 10k on a more level course now...I think I could do better with that...and some new racers that are actually meant for road racing...if anyone knows of a good pair that won't bankrupt me let me know. Anyway. I'm gonna go ice now. Oh, and my toenails are now black...I kinda like the new look :P ran 2 more miles this afternoon because my calves feel like rocks. felt better after and went and tried to play raquetball which was fun but painful :) 99.5 |

So I have hardly been able to even walk all day...confined to hobbling around the house and hoping people would feel sorry for me. haha. My calves are super super sore. I think I've used more IcyHot in 2 days than the entire US Olympic team does in a month. I think it is just because of all of that downhill racing yesterday nearly jouncing my calves off of my fibula. If they fall off I will be very easy to identify, as I will be the only guy running around with no calf muscles.
Anyway, after lancing some of the hugest blisters I have ever seen, and in some weird places too (who knew you could get blisters under your toenails?!), I attempted a 4.5 mile run...which ended up being more like a 4.5 mile quick shuffle. I felt like I was one of those 80 year old men you see that are still running marathons and stuff. Hats off to them...but I hope by the time I have to run like that and feel like that all the time that I will be dead. But today was very painful. Hopefully it will start to feel better tomorrow when I rest, though I doubt I will be recovered by Monday. But the good news is that the rest of me feels great for just having raced my longest ever race. Quads, hammies, etc all feel totally ready to go. I think I will be much better at it next time. I learned a lot on this race which was kind of its purpose so I'm looking forward to some great 10ks and hopefully a half if I can find one semi close, followed by the SGM. Congrats to all who ran the 10k yesterday...it was a great race and lots of good competition. 104 |

Went on a long slow run today. After warmup I went with Johnny (trackstar532) for the first 2.5 miles then sent him off on a shorter loop and I went out past the Hurricane Airport a ways and back. Cooled down for half a mile or so after. Nice relaxing run. Calves are still pretty tight but they don't hurt too bad. Definitely better than yesterday. Blisters seem to be healing well. Good news: toenails don't hurt anymore...I think my foot is getting ready to jettison the big toenail on my right foot...its all sorts of pretty colors and has lifted itself almost out of it's little socket there and my toe is still all swollen. It only hurts if I put pressure on it, I think the nerve has died so it really doesn't hurt to stand or run on it. yay! (I think) I'll probably keep my other big toenail :) But overall a good run today. Guide 113 |

Man, today was a long day. First got up @ 5 am like usual and went to work at the pallet yard and worked all day...but then they wanted me to stay and help load a semi full of woodchips so I did that and by the time we got done it was 6:30 pm. Talk about a long day. wow. I was so tired...and I really just wanted to shower and eat and go to bed but I went running anyway. 8 miles pretty easy because I really just didn't feel like working too hard. But I got a pretty good pace going towards the middle of the run anyway. avg about 7 minute miles. Almost an hour total but not quite. Good run. Just trying to get in as many miles as I can without hurting myself...which is proving to be quite a trick. But I'm feeling better and better all the time so that is good. I was thinking about it today, and I have decided that if I had the endurance that I had my senior year of High School, then I would be running way faster than I was then. Just a theory. So I think I am improving all the time. My goal is to hit 70+ miles per week by the time I move up to Logan on August 18...so about 2 months. I'm hitting about 45 or more this week so I think it is doable. Anyway, I'm going to bed. 'nite y'all. Guide 121 |

Nice run today with the XC team. We actually got a good group out and so it was nice. Not just me and Johnny. Anyway, warmed up for .5 mile and then went 10:00 easy, 10:00 moderate, 5:00 hard, 10:00 easy. .5 mile cooldown too. Went really easy on the easy parts, got a good pace rollin on the moderate and went way fast on the hard...probably around 5:15 pace on the hard so it felt good to get out on my legs a little and fly. But it was only five min. so I wasn't tired at all. It was nice to get some pace variation today. I have made a startling discovery too. Lately I've been wondering why I have no energy and seem to have a hard time with recovery and stuff. Well, I found the answer. I was counting up all of what I eat on an average day and I found that I am not eating NEARLY enough. I've only been averaging probably 1800 calories per day so it's no wonder I usually feel kind of drained and have a hard time healing. Especially when I'm running a lot and working my butt off at work for 8 hours a day. I do eat pretty healthy compared to most people, I just wasn't eating enough. So I tried an experiment today and ate an extra meal right after work and ate dinner just barely before bed instead of just before running, and I really tried to cram the calories and protein and complex carbs...and guess what...I felt way better today. Kinda makes sense that you gotta put gas in the tank if you wanna go very far in a day ;) I figure I should be eating at least 2500 or 3000 calories per day, especially when I get up around 60-70+ mpw.

9 miles moderate pace today on the Hurricane Canal Trail plus a mile warmup and a mile cooldown. Trail is a lot worse than it used to be so I had to stop and hike a couple of places, but overall a very nice relaxing run. Tried to make sure to eat more again today and felt awesome. It makes a huge difference. It doesn't even hurt to go that far anymore...in fact I felt like going farther but I made myself stop because it was getting late and I didn't want to overdo it. Good day today. Guide 136

AM: 5.1 miles moderate pace out around Hurricane Fields. A little warm and somewhat humid but a good run. Legs are still a tad fatigued but not as bad as yesterday Well, I was planning on getting 5 or 6 more miles this evening, but you know what?...I really didn't feel like it today. I figured that I reached my goal of 45 miles this week and so I was gonna let my legs rest a little bit. But I reached my goal and that's what is the important part. Guide 149

Ahh, today was a nice run. Legs felt good and rested up. Didn't push it though. Although I did try to pick it up the last 4 miles or so. Averaged a little under 7 min. pace. I must be getting acclimated to this heat because the weather felt good today. It was "only" 95 when I started. haha. But I went out on the Bench Lake loop for 10 miles and the irrigation was going plus a slight breeze so it was actually very nice. Felt like 75 degrees. Beautiful day and beautiful run.

Ran the "H" and then some with Johnny and another XC kid. Got a way good hill workout in for some strength and conditioning. I'm pretty sure I got some good time in VO2 Max territory. That hill is killer...judging from the course tool I climbed 800 feet in like 3 miles. Ran virtually the whole way though. But I felt really good considering the workout. Just kind of jogged back down so as not to hurt my feet, knees or calves. Nice temps too...or I'm getting used to running in 95-100 degrees all the time. Did a couple of accels on the track too for kicks.

Well, I had aspirations of like 7 miles today but I really ran out of time so I had to settle for 5 miles as fast as I could get it done...so I went on a 5 mile tempo run...averaged 6:00 pace and felt pretty good. It's been awhile since I've gone an extended distance (more than a mile or two) at that kind of pace in a training run and it felt nice to move a little. I ordered some new racers today from SGRC so when I go up to the Freedom 10k on the 4th I won't jack up my feet again ;)

AM: 6.5 miles Hurricane Fields/Angel Heights. Nice run...Haven't run early morning for a long time and it felt beautiful. Moderate to fast pace: Avg 6:15 per mile. Felt wonderful especially after yesterday's hard run. PM: 4.2 miles in the heat. It was like 106 on my thermometer at home so it was a hot sweaty run. Actually I ran a little over a mile down to the church and played basketball for a couple of hours...half court so no real running to speak of...then I went on a 3 mile loop back home. Relaxed pace...probably slower than 7 min...didn't really time it. Felt good but fatigued from the last couple of days. Rest tomorrow. Got my goal of 50 though. Guide 199.4 |

| .75 mile warmup and stretching w/ HHS XC guys and got them lined out on their run, then drove to st. george and did the club workout which was a total of 8.5 miles according to Hayden's cool little watch thingy...did 2 repeats up to the radio towers south of st. george...those are killer but felt pretty good...was gonna do 3 but it was getting too late and I needed to go home and get some rest...plus I thought it best not to overdo it. Good day today. Goal for this week: 50 miles and a good 10k at the Freedom Run up in Provo this weekend. shooting for sub 33:00. Got my new racers today for this weekend and tried them on... Saucony Type A2...very nice and comfy. I especially like the "kiss this" molded into the heel...attitude! Thanks SGRC! Guide 208.65 still feel very supple and supportive yet comfortable at 200 miles.

Ran 3.1 miles on the Wash. Co. Fair 5k loop to break in my new racers. Right after work and it was 109...so it was pretty hot. Then got ready and left for Provo with Karl and Hayden and Karl's dad...long drive. Got there and ate and stuff then went on a 2 mile run with Hayden and Karl. It was only 77 but very humid for some reason...and all these girls were honking and yelling at us...well, it was probably actually at Karl and Hayden...but I like to think they were honking at me :) Legs felt pretty good today considering I did more mileage in the last 3 days than I have in any 3 day period since getting back. Hope they feel good tomorrow. Anyway, then went to bed at like 11. Type A2 Racer: 3.1 Guide: 229.15

Got up at 5 and ate a bagel and some Powerade...got ready to go and went to Kiwanis Park where the start is. Got all my stuff ready and warmed up for probably a mile or so with Karl and Hayden. Legs feel a little tired but not too bad considering my mileage this week. There's like 8 gajillion people in this race so me and Hayden (Karl ran the 5k) had to push our way up to the front. There were like 5 guys all dressed up as rednecks being punks and pushing everyone off the line...I contemplated pushing them over at the start but thought better of it...wished I had my track spikes on. he he he. Anyway, so gun goes off. We take off at a pretty fast pace but not as fast as USG. First mile was 5:02. Didn't have my watch so I asked someone and that's what I heard...anyway, the first mile was all uphill and a good bit of the second mile too...then there was a good downhill (the only one turns out) coming down University Pkwy so I dropped a couple of people there. Hayden and the lead pack left us by then but I was still in the top ten and feeling good. Turned onto University and it was pretty flat but I felt very good and got a good pace going and dropped one more guy. It was nice to have all those people there 'cause it motivates you not to slow down and look like a loser. Middle of the race was very solid for me which I was happy about. Felt like I kept much more even pace. Then we turned up center street and the rest of the course was all uphill. And it really sucked because then we started hitting all the 5k people that were slow and there were THOUSANDS of them...I think I ran an extra mile trying to weave in and out. haha. But they really need to separate the 2 races more...maybe different lanes or something. Lots of people complained about that. Felt pretty strong but hills and mobs of people slowed me way down the last 2 miles. Had to almost completely stop a few times to avoid killing people...maybe I should have anyway. Came into finish and never got a good kick because there were too many people and I couldn't get up any speed. But overall I was pretty happy with the race...everyone seemed to have run about 3 min slower than USG so I wasn't too disappointed about the time although it was very slow...I felt much better and I think if there weren't as many people I would have got at least 10-15 seconds faster than I did. So overall a good race and I'm excited for Des News in 3 weeks PM: 4 miles in the heat to work that long drive out of my legs. very slow and easy. felt good. Guide: 235.15 Type A2 Racer: 9.3

Legs felt a little lethargic and I was really tired today...so I really didn't feel like running mile repeats up monster hills--in fact, I really didn't feel like running at all...so needless to say I didn't go on the club run because of that and there were a lot of kids at summer XC practice, which was heartening. Anyway, so I went on a slow 10 miler around town...just kind of went my pace and didn't push it at all. Was very tired...not fatigued or hurting, just didn't feel like it today. But you have those days from time to time and I've been feeling good lately so it's alright. I was glad to get that much in today. Goal for this week: 55 miles and a looong run on Saturday...hopefully at least 12 miles and maybe 15 if I feel it.

Got home from work and took a nice 2 hour nap, which was absolutely heavenly, and then went on a 9.5 mile out and back with a loop thru LaVerkin. Nice temperatures, went a little faster than yesterday and felt much better...I think the nap helped.

| Long slow run today. 15 miles out past Sky Ranch and into the desert a couple of miles out and back. Felt fatigued at first from yesterdays run, but as my body warmed up and figured out I wasn't going to give up I started feeling better...7:00 pace average exactly, with some variation. First 2 miles were consistent and most of the rest of the run was too, but I got going pretty good towards the middle but the last couple of miles were a struggle, though I did manage to run the last one at 7 min. even. Felt way good considering this is the longest run I've done since getting back off the mish...now lets see if I can recover from it :) I should do fine as I have over 50 hours 'til the next time I run (mon. evening). Exceeded my goal for the week, but not by too much, so that's good too.
Oh, and this will probably be my last blog for about a week...I'm going camping and exploring ghost towns out in the West Desert by Nephi with my uncle and cousin and my dad...but I will be running. No access to a computer out there :) Should be some sweet trails and I plan for 60 miles next week. Guide: 297.75

| Well, I obviously didn't get the mileage I was shooting for by a long shot this week. :P Didn't have nearly as much time as I thought I would have because we did a lot of traveling and stuff...but I did run as much as I could. Kind of changed plans and took it as a taper/rest week. Part of the reason I didn't run as much is because on Monday I went on this twelve miler and it got dark while I was out...anyway, I went to look at my watch and it was a good thing I did because it caused me to inadvertently sidestep a big ol' rattler that was coiled up in the middle of the road. He buzzed at me and I got some good speed training in that night :) But after that I was so jittery that I got lost because I was unfamiliar with the roads and almost didn't make it back to camp. Long story short I decided it wasn't worth my life to try to run after dark anymore. We saw probably 5 other rattlers during the trip and I didn't really relish the idea of meeting another one so I cut my runs to daylight hours only. If I would have got bit there's a good chance I wouldn't be here today because we were a good 75+ miles on dirt roads from the nearest town and there's no way I would have made it probably. But the rest of the trip was fun and adventurous. I did climb Wheeler Peak which is the highest point in NV at 13000 feet and that definitely got my heartrate going. I will just blog the total mileage for the week here on this day because I am too lazy to go thru each day. |

10 miles today very slowly...quads are still very sore. Probably partly due to 12 yesterday, but I think that steep scramble down the mountain last week (in cowboy boots by the way :P) is still affecting me. Other than that felt much better than yesterday, though still not fabulous. Hopefully I will feel better still tomorrow and then feel really good for thursday. It really sucks that I won't be able to go to Des News because I have to work on thursday. I am very disappointed but perhaps that is best with the way my legs have been feeling this week.

Today was an excellent day for a change. Great finale to a less than desirable week. Hauled wood all day up on cedar mountain then came down and did some stuff with my friends so I didn't get to run until almost 10. But it was nice and cool and all the stars were out and I got a good pace in most of the way...especially towards the end I really got rollin. Bench Lake loop with some extensions 7 min mile average with some faster and some slower. This week has been kind of a downer, haven't felt good until today so it was nice to finish strong. Got my goal for the week even though I felt like crap, which is a very positive thing for me.

| 8.5 today around town. sort of a mild tempo run at about 6:15-6:20 pace. Felt really good to get out a little faster and shorter today for a change. I must be improving if I'm saying 8.5 is "shorter"...a few weeks ago that was my long run...yay!

| Had a really good run today...10.5 miles out to LaVerkin and a small loop there and back. 6:40 average pace. Another "unstoppable" day...I've been having a lot of those lately so I suppose that would be a good thing. I've really been trying to work on my pace this week and average at or under 6:45 which is ballpark for what I want to do in the marathon come October. I think it's done me good to go a little faster and get out of the 7:00-7:30 grind. I've been feeling really good this week. Hope to get some hills or a good fartlek or something going tomorrow to further work on my strength and speed. Guide: 424.5 probably time to start budgeting for some new shoes...my knees are starting to feel it a bit. |

| 7.5 counting warmup with Karl tonight. It was nice to run with someone since I didn't get to go to the club run due to my best buddy flying in off his mission tonight. But the run was great...we started out pretty relaxed around 6:30-6:40ish but then the last couple of miles turned into a tempo run and we were probably down around 6 min. pace. That was good because I wanted a little bit of a hard workout today. Felt really good and really strong. Guide: 432.0 |

really tired today. I think this week's faster pace, high miles, failing shoes, and a few late nights and early mornings all conspired against me today, so I went ahead and took it easy in anticipation of tomorrow's loooonnnng run that I am planning. Hopefully I'll be able to get some good rest tonight and have a good day tomorrow. Oh, and I've got some questions about the marathon (i'm running the st. george marathon on oct. 8th i believe), so if anyone has any tidbits they would like to share please feel free: Question 1: when do I start doing "speed" work and how much of it do I do? what types of workouts are good? I don't know what the heck I'm doing as far as the marathon goes so I don't even know if you really do speed...it's probably definitely not what I, being a former miler/2 miler, would call speed so if you've got advice I'm open. Question 2: How do I taper for the marathon? What kinds of workouts should I do while tapering? do I totally cut the miles or just ease off a little or what? I'm planning on peaking out at 80 mpw the first week of sept or before...is that too much too late? Thanks in advance for any advice. Guide: 439.0

| woke up and felt like I got hit by a train. ran 7.5 easy which I probably shouldn't have done...needless to say I couldn't handle a long run as intended. Just got worse as the day went on and currently am running a high fever and it hurts to even move let alone walk or run. Trying to drink a lot but sore throat is making that difficult. I'm going to bed. peace out y'all. |

| terrible day today. Still sick. went to work and was okay then this afternoon and evening things just spiraled quick. Worst sore throat I've ever had. maybe strep...if I'm not better tomorrow I'm gonna not go to work and call the doctor. No running today...there is no way. Grr. this is super frustrating because this is when I was really hoping to pick up some good miles and I can't do jack. |

Woke up this morning and still felt terrible so I called in sick to work and went back to bed. Took some ibuprofen which seems to work much better than tylenol. Don't think it's strep (no fever since saturday) but called doctor anyway and he is calling in a prescription antibiotic or something. Feel quite a bit better around noon. Ibuprofen plus amoxicillin seems to be helping. We'll see...if I feel good enough I may try to go on a very very easy run but that's still up in the air. Still feeling quite a bit better. went on a 4 mile jog to keep things loose and stuff. Promised my mom I wouldn't even breathe hard so I didn't...that's how easy I ran. Anyway, I hope this is over tomorrow. My immune system seems to have taken a summer vacation this week. I think I've had about every symptom possible with the exception of upset stomach. I even discovered this afternoon that I have pinkeye. so that sucks. I'm gonna try my best with this week and just be happy with whatever I can get without killing myself. I'll try to have a positive race at the Fair Run this weekend so maybe that will help make up for things. |

Got up at five and ate some rice with no milk and drove w/ Johhny down to the high school. Nobody was there yet at 5:45 so just started warming up. Ran about 2 miles of warmup and stretched and stuff. Talked to Karl and another kid that is running for Dixie State this year. Race started, took off with Karl and felt pretty good. Hung with him for about a mile then he really picked it up...I've got no speed in my legs...I was trying to run faster but just don't have any fast twitch or something going on. No speedwork at all since May I guess. Not abnormally tired, although this past week of being sicker than a dog may have been affecting me. Didn't lose any ground on him after about 1.5 miles and just kinda hung in there and make the most of it. Could hear the kid from DSC behind me and just tried to break him and get a gap on him. Worked pretty well as he wasn't within striking distance after the 2nd mile mark. Really turned it on with about 800 M to go...turned the corner and Karl had got some distance on me with his amazing amount of leg speed...couldn't do anything with that so just tried to kick as hard as I could...got going for a few seconds then breakfast started to knock at the door so I had to curtail my acceleration to try to keep it down until after the finish. Had no idea where DSC kid was so I didn't want to waste any time puking. But it didn't do any good because I lost it about 20 M out anyway. It's quite a trick to throw up while kicking it in and not get any on yourself...I was mostly successful in that attempt. But got across the line and heaved a few times and was fine after that. Note to self: 1.5 hours is not enough time in between eating and race...not in HS anymore--metabolism apparently isn't what it used to be :) Finished in 16:40...missing my HS PR for that course by 20 sec. if I remember right. Still a good time. I forgot to start my watch until about 25-30 seconds into the race but here are my splits as far as I can guess: 5:17: Where the heck is my speed? not hurting at all, but first mile is usually 5 min or less. 5:25: A little tired but holding out well. 5:27: (had to guess this one, no mile marker) feeling pretty worn out and trying to get something faster going in the legs, but not happening. :31 Feeling like puking and actually doing so. Overall evaluation: All things considered: good race. good time. Splits were slow but pretty even. I'm happy with the whole arrangement. But I have no speed anymore...I guess that's what I get for running virtually nothing faster than 6:45 except on rare occasions. Will try to speed up my pace on my training runs because that is super frustrating. grr. Once I get the Marathon out of the way I'll be able to spend a little more time and energy on getting that together so I can actually run sub 5's for my 5k :) One thing I did notice though is that my endurance seems much better than previous races. Afterwards I felt like I could run the whole thing again. My legs were not even tired at all. The mileage must really be helping with that. This is a very good sign I think.

12 to Farmer's Market in LaVerkin and back plus a 2 mile extension. Felt pretty good mostly. Was a little tired because I went swimming and cliff diving out at the lake beforehand and the last couple of miles were a bit sluggish but overall it was a good run. We'll see how I feel tomorrow about it. Really starting to need new shoes...will try to stop and get some tomorrow.

UT but trying to get decent mileage in this heat and still get to bed at a decent hour is killing me. Actually I didn't go to bed until 1 so it really sucked at work. But the run was good...just went slow since I was a little sore from Monday and Tuesday. Just got it done. Oh, and I got new shoes...some more Saucony Progrid Guides except these ones are orange.

17.5 out past Sky Ranch and back with extensions. Felt good for the first 14 miles or so...well, tired but good considering, but the last three about killed me. I am so freaking DEAD right now. Great way to have a last run in Hurricane. Moving up to Logan on Monday and will be able to split up my mileage better...I'll have time in the mornings to do 2-a-days so it will be less stress on me. And I will actually get sleep too. Anyway, I am pleased with the run today as it's kind of a milestone...the longest run I have EVER done my entire life by like .5 mile. So that is cool. Anyway, 26 is gonna kill but oh well. Got my goals for this week too: 70+ miles and a long run today. That puts me back on track of where I wanted to be by now even though I was sick and stuff. Now I just need to do a few more weeks of mileage and get faster...much, much faster. Guide Orange: 45.5 |

AM: Went down past the Temple and to this little park that my friend was telling me about yesterday. There was a little creek and I soaked my feet in it for a minute and it was really cold and felt good. Altitude is still getting to me but it was better today than yesterday. Felt pretty good. PM: 4.5 just a loop around here. Just went easy. Felt better than the morning runs I've done. Maybe I'm just not used to running in the morning. Altitude could be a factor to. I still feel like I can't breathe right even when I'm not running. Hopefully I'll get over that in a week or so. Guide Orange: 65.5 |

first run in a few days. I don't know what was going on but I have been feeling really crappy for a long time. I think I was still fighting that sickness. I felt really good today though. It was a nice day. I ran in the afternoon when I was a little more awake. Did a 2x200 m sprints up hills as part of my run.

I didn't have much time today so I had to cut it short. I ran 6.5 pretty easy and went and found the track here and did 2x800 repeats without my watch. Just worked on my stride and form. Trying to work some more speediness into my running because I feel SOOO slow right now. More mileage on Friday hopefully. Felt good today though. second good day in a row.

went on an easy/hard interval run today about 7.5 miles. about 4 miles of that was 6 min pace or better. the rest was easy. then played some intense ultimate frisbee and we were good so we did a lot of running down the field for another 1.5 fast miles in short sprints. Then went on a slow jog for 3 miles with my roomate and another friend. So all in all today was a great day for running although I will probably be fairly sore tomorrow. But I'm feeling more in shape and faster so I think I am improving and hopefully will be in great shape for my first marathon in less than a month.

7.5 easy today. legs were quite sore from yesterdays intensity but it felt really good. I am finally feeling fast again and the altitude has stopped bugging me. Ahhh...I hope this lasts.

wasn't going to push too hard today but I was feeling really good so I did a loop around First Dam and the Temple as fast as I could possibly do it. almost 10k in 37 min (6:04/mi)...which is pretty darn good considering there are some huge hills and I wasn't in a race. I was thinking it would make a pretty cool 10k course if you added another .1 on somewhere. Anyway, felt really good and strong. Really feeling a lot faster and hopefully I'll be able to put that into a good pace on the marathon and my endurance training will allow me to maintain it. That's the plan. Guide Orange: 139.1

5 miles of hills and conditioning type run today. Found all the toughest hills I could find within a short distance and ran them as hard as I could without stopping and trying not to slow down more than gravity forced me to. Definitely got some vo2 max time in. Also did 2x200's on the track at 29 seconds apiece. Good run today. will take it a little easier tomorrow because I am gonna run the TOU 5K on Saturday...that is if they will still let me register tomorrow.

Hmmm... well, not gonna lie this race sucked really bad. started out too fast first of all trying to hang onto Paul and Cody at least for a little while and ended up running the first mile way too hard (even though by time it shouldn't have been that bad) resulting in the last half of the race being absolutely terrible. I need to quit getting so excited and thinking I am back in high school and starting out like I'm gonna run a 15:45. Plus for some reason my mental toughness is down the toilet right now and I have a hard time forcing myself to go hard at it when I'm feeling like crap. So I just need to work on that...a lot. On the bright side I met Paul, Cody and Jon today and am going to start training with them as much as I can. It will be good to have other people to run with and motivate me and all that good stuff. Plus they are all marathon gurus and full of sage advice on how to run St. George which is great considering I don't really know what to expect from the marathon. Anyway, I'm looking forward to some good times with them. Oh, and my Aggies absolutely DESTROYED Idaho today so that was a plus to the day too. :) now if they can just win another one somewhere...

ran with Paul, Cody, and Jon on what is apparently called the landfill loop for an easy 5.5 miles then Paul and Cody took off and Jon introduced me to the Planet walk trail which is a very nice little trail. Too bad it's short. But it was good to run with them again and find new places to run. Guide Orange: 176.6

did fartleks today. warmed up for awhile and then did 5x4:00 at about 5:30 pace with 2:00 rest pace in between. felt really good. got some good hills in along the way too. Couldn't run with the guys today because I had to go early and only had a limited amount of time due to the fact that I had to go watch a 3 hour depressing movie about Mozart. It was kind of a drag. But it was a good run today.

12 easy today on the Logan River Trail which Jon told me about. It's a really sweet trail. very shady and is a lot more interesting than the road. The only problem was I kept running into packs of tourists that couldn't spreken ze inglis and had to keep stopping and try to get past or through them. but it was a cool run. Just took it easy and kind of coasted how I felt. Got some good paces going on some parts but didn't ever really breathe hard. Nice run today. Well, I gotta go to trigonometry class and then study chemistry so I'm out.

7 miles today with Cody and Jon. 7:45 pace or thereabouts. just easy. Went up through Providence and then past Jon's house and back to the fairgrounds. Nice run today. Felt very relaxed and ready for SGM. I am so excited...3 more days!
3.5 more with some friends at night. Really slow just to relax and get the kinks out.

5.3 miles really easy again. Legs felt a little tired since I may have overdone it a little yesterday. Felt good by the end of the run. 7:27 pace so just relaxed and easy. I can go way faster than that in the Marathon. Yeah! I also reserved myself a blog singlet today from SGRC. My mommy and daddy are getting it for me as an early birthday present since I'm so poor. haha. But now I get to be cool like everyone else.

This morning my legs felt really good after icing last night. Left Logan today at about 11 and drove pretty much straight through to Hurricane except to eat lunch in Provo. 400 miles. My legs were sore from sitting in the car for 6 hours, so after I went and got my chip and stuff I went on a short easy 3.5 miler with 2 easy 100m striders mixed in. Legs felt a little better but not perfect so I iced again, but not for as long or as cold as last night. They should feel great tomorrow. I am sooo excited to run my first marathon. I can just visualize myself not dying at the wall and crossing that finish line under 3 hours with a few minutes to spare! I am pumped! Hopefully it all goes to plan. I am going to run the first 1/2 with the 3 hour group and hopefully come through at 1:30ish then just keep relaxing and gradually building until I get to Winchester Hills and then give it a surge and try to cut off some huge time with that big downhill into St. George.

Today was the day. For now I'm just gonna say that I was VERY pleased with my marathon debut and I am officially hooked! I had a freaking blast! I think that was one of the funnest races I've ever done! I felt good the whole time (well, up until about Mile 24) and it was just great! 2:53:43 is the official time...good enough for 50th place. Don't yet know what my age division place was. But I'm just tickled about the whole thing. Thanks to Andy, (Riverton?) Paul, Matt (?) and everyone who was pacing together with us. Y'all kept me from going out too fast, which, knowing me I would have done and definitely would have died. And thanks to Paul Peterson, Cody, Jon, Dave and everyone else for all the great advice...it worked perfectly. Great job to everyone! Here's the play by play: Got to the starting line about an hour before the race started and was a little nervous, wondering whether I had trained enough and all that jazz because the last month had been less than stellar as far as training goes. Tried to keep warm and jogged around a bit. Then went to the right corral after Holt told me I was in the wrong place. Continued warming up with everyone. Found Andy and a few others who were shooting for 3 hours. Race started and was feeling pretty good but wondering if I could really keep it up for 26 miles. Rainy and a little cold. First mile was 7:05 if I remember right. I kind of had to depend on Andy to know what the pace was because my watch for some reason stopped after 10 minutes...don't know if I hit the button accidentally or what. I couldn't see the mile markers for awhile anyway. Anyway, so not much eventful happened. Just ran and kind of enjoyed the first half. Enjoyed the wet weather...easier to breathe although my arms got frozen and hurt to straighten them out. Veyo hill wasn't as bad as I expected. Dammeron Valley was worse than I expected but I just relaxed and it went okay. Hit the half in 1:31:08 and restarted my watch to get the last half split. After the half mark I started feeling really good for some reason...highly irregular based on my training runs. Held off for awhile but was really feeling like I could take off easily but I didn't want to do it prematurely. Hit that big downhill coming into Snow Canyon around mile 15 and just let my legs open up and carry me down. Gatorade at that stop was gross...not enough water mixed in. Yuck. Anyway, after that hill I just didn't feel like slowing down much and just started to fly. I felt unstoppable. I have no idea where that came from. I am usually DEAD after 15 miles. Just kept going and started passing people like crazy. No one passed me after mile 15. I was worried that I was going too fast but I felt so good I just kept going. The hill at Winchester Hills couldn't even slow me down. Passed a ton of people on that one. Just felt great! Runner's High. Enjoying myself and having tons and tons of fun. Just pretended that I was just starting out on my run and put the last 18 miles behind me. Mile 22.5 my shoe came untied and had to stop and tie it. I had to take a leak really bad too...maybe that's why I was going so fast. Didn't want to stop and lose time. Came flying down the hill into St. George and was still passing people like crazy. Mile 23 still feeling pretty good...wondering where this "Wall" thing is...Mile 24: found out where the Wall was. OH MY HECK! That hurts sooo bad. I felt like my muscles were being torn off my legs at each stride. Still keeping a good pace, trying to relax and not look like I am even working. That helps me. Mile 25: I am DEAD...just trying to make it that last mile...still going strong and passing people though. Mile 26: Can see the finish and just want to be there instead of 300m away. Trying to get a kick in and feeling like I'm sprinting my guts out although I probably didn't look like it. Looked at the clock and realized I was going to destroy 3 hours. Crossed the line, tried to celebrate and almost fell over. I DID IT!!! Legs feel like wet noodles and I have to go to the bathroom but can hardly walk to the porta-potties. Went and ate some cantaloupe and got a massage and commenced freezing to death. Negative split the last half marathon by 8:35 (if my math is right) in 1:22:35 don't know where I got that but I'll take it! Anyway, very happy with the race and I'm gonna do it again! 2:45 here I come!! Type A2 Racers: 38.6

Went running today! Yay! okay, it was a jog. 5 miles and I don't think I've ever run 5 miles that slow. Walked up the hills so I don't stress out my muscles and get injured. My legs are still shot. Absolutely no "umph" in them. They don't hurt...they are just blah. But it was good to finally get out and enjoy some great running weather. Oh, and I just found out today that I was 5th in my age division and they have a plaque for me that mi padres are going to pick up.

3 easy easy today. Legs are still dead tired but not as bad as yesterday. first 2 miles felt fine but the last one was a chore so I just jogged it. Ran up a hill and felt tired but not like I was gonna tweak anything so hopefully that's a good sign. It was cold today too. Had to wear a beanie and my new long sleeve SGM shirt.

About 10k super easy again today. Legs felt pretty good. I actually maintained effort (which wasn't much) up a hill today instead of pretty much walking and it didn't hurt. Still, not gonna push anything for awhile. I've got all the time in the world to rest up so I'm gonna. This is the longest I've gone since the race and I felt good. Legs are still sluggish and you can hear me coming a mile away because I clomp like a horse when running instead of being light and springy like usual. Oh well. I guess that's what happens when you do crazy things to your body like running marathons. haha. Guide Orange: 268.2 Oh, and today we had our first snow. When I woke up at 10:15 (heavenly!) there was about an inch on the ground and coming down fast. But it cleared up and melted off. We are supposed to get more tomorrow and tonight. But it was FREEZING today! I am gonna die up here! Like it was as cold today as the coldest days in the middle of January back home...and it's only October! ugh.

| No running today. My feet have really been hurting me since saturday. It's on both feet so I don't think it's an injury (unless I am very unlucky) but I figured I'd play it safe and avoid injury since I'm probably very prone to it for the next few weeks. The bottoms of my feet underneath the 5th metatarsal feel sore and stressed. Also the front outside of my ankles feel like the muscles and tendons in there are pretty torqued. No idea why unless it was because of playing dodgeball until 1 AM on saturday. That may not have helped. Hopefully I'll feel less fragile tomorrow. |

12 mile fun run up and down mountains with Jon and Cody. Lots of climbing...like over 2000 feet worth. We went on the Ephraim's Grave trail to where some guy killed a huge grizzly bear that was 9'11'' tall (they had a rock set up that was as tall as the bear, and lemme tell ya, that's a big ol' bear) And there was a paper there with a story about how the guy shot the bear and blood was squirting out of it's mouth or something. Cool story. Then we came back down the mountain via Steel Canyon trail which was fun and I almost died about 3 times tripping. One time I jammed my finger on this big rock while trying to avoid smashing my face against it. We saw quite a few hunters and they all stared at us with a look somewhere between disgust, hatred, and incredulity....the disgust/hatred because we were scaring the deer and the incredulity because we were running up these huge mountains out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but short shorts, 2 thin shirts, and a water bottle. Anyway, very fun run. And we ended up beating the "9 minute guy." Cody and Jon run with imaginary friends and I guess I am one of them too since I decided to take up plumbing and hit the campaign trail with John McCain and I have shrunk to 3.5 inches tall. I'm surprised I can keep up with them anymore since my stride has gotten so short. Must be the weight I lost in the process. Anyway, good day today and I felt pretty good the whole time. Good elevation training without killing myself. Guide Orange: 303.2

10 easy today. Legs were kind of sore and hurting from Ephraims Grave, but after I got warmed up is wasn't too terrible. Just cruised out through Providence and also part of the TOU 5k course and some stuff and came back via Main and 4th North. Actually felt kinda good and pushed a little after about 6 miles.

about 8 and a half moderate pace today. Legs still kind of stiff. This last couple of days has been a test to see how I was recovering and I'm obviously not there yet so I'm gonna take most of the rest of the week pretty easy and have a long run on Saturday.

| Went and watched Karl and Hayden at State XC today...that was a nice break from the monotony of school. ;) They both did really well with the cards they were dealt even though neither got what they were hoping for...but they are champions in my book and I think everyone knows it. Anyway, so I spent half an hour total sprinting from one part of the course to another and hollering at the top of my lungs. Probably a total of 2 miles really fast. Nothing hurt either so that's a good sign. Jogged a little when I got back but I had tons of studying to do so didn't get much mileage in for the day. That's okay, I wanted today to be easy.

| 6 miles easy to moderate today. Legs were a little tired from yesterday's hard run, but the good news is they didn't have that dull, achy, I-just-ran-a-marathon feeling so I think I am starting to recover nicely. I felt really good though other than that today. Felt smooth and relaxed and the pace felt fast but effortless. Not plodding anymore either. I actually have some lower leg strength again! haha. OH! and I hit a milestone today...1000 miles (actually 1003.1) in just under 6 months since I joined the blog on April 27th of this year. Woo Hoo! that only works out to roughly 6.5 mi/day over 155 running days (counting sick days and days I didn't run, but not Sundays), but you gotta realize I spent a good deal of that time trying to get in shape after 2 years of not running at all, so I figure that's pretty dang good! Yeah! Maybe I'll go get some Aggie Ice Cream as a reward...okay maybe not, but I'm happy about this. Lets see if I can do like 2300+ for the year (ending in April). Guide Orange: 332.1

Today I went on another beastly trail run up a mountain with Jon and Cody. We also had another newcomer to our little group named Lisa. Anyway, we drove partway up Blacksmith Fork Canyon and ran a trail called Leatham Hollow up to the top of Millville Canyon then took a road for a couple more miles past a couple of deer hunters and one very stuck Land Rover. Good run with lots of climbing: 3400 feet total elevation gain over 6 miles. 12 miles total. Coming back down was a bit rougher than last week but only because of the last couple of miles which was in a dry creekbed full of ankle breaking rocks, one of which I had the good fortune of kicking into my shin which felt great. Feet, ankles, and knees felt a lot better than last week though. Ground was a bit softer. Got down to the bottom and iced my feet in a freezing cold little river. Felt wonderful. Guide Orange: 344.1

Well, I only meant to go 12 today but I didn't realize it was 3 miles from my apartment to the Green Canyon trailhead instead of only 2 like I was thinking. So I ended up running 14 today. Felt really good though. I went slow the first half because my calves were a little fatigued from all that climbing on saturday and it was all uphill going out but I got feeling pretty good near the top and decided to go hard coming back down. Got some great speed going on the way back especially once I got back on the road and didn't have to worry about where to put my feet. Last 3 miles or so were good pace for a hard tempo run. It only felt like 12 instead of 14 but the course tool says otherwise. Oh, and I just got a call from my dad and he says that I got a letter from SGM saying that they made a mistake and I ended up taking 4th in my age division instead of 5th! So that is way cool...don't know if it's affecting my overall place but hey, they sent me a new brass plate to put on my little plaque so that is all cool. Anyway, so good day, good mileage, beautiful weather, legs feel awesome...yeah, it's a good day. :)

River Trail with Paul and Jon. Just easy pace. Ran from my apt and met them at the trailhead and then we went about 6 on the trail and I ran back to my place. (a little over 2 miles each way) Felt really good and relaxed. It got a little chilly towards the end and when my hands get cold I can't type so this is all I'm gonna write for now. Good run today.

| 8.6 very easy today. Didnt' work hard at all...just got out and got in some slow miles. Felt good to rest a bit from the last couple of days but my legs still feel pretty good considering. I think I'm recovering pretty well. Will take the rest of this week very easy, try to PR in the 10K on Saturday, and then get a good week with lots of miles in next week. Oh, and I'm seriously considering running the Ogden Marathon...but I was wondering if that's a bad idea where I've only done one marathon, and that being 4 weeks ago...my legs feel fine and I feel like I could easily do it but I was just curious if anyone knows anything I don't about this recovery thing. It would be a good goal to shoot for and give me motivation to get me through the winter here. Just curious. | |

AM: okay, well I'm about to fall asleep in class. But it was a good run this morning, although it's the earliest I've gotten up for a run in a long time. It was wierd, we had like 5 people there. Went about 5 very easy. Felt good since my legs are a little tired. Probably do another mile this evening to make 6.
PM: mile jog around the blockish. nothing exciting.

Just 4 very easy today around town. Resting for the 10K tomorrow. Legs feel great. Going to stretch out good tonight and try to get some sleep even though I probably won't get a ton due to Aggie Basketball and the Howl. Thank goodness the race isn't early like usual. I'm excited for it. Goals: Break 35 min., and if possible win it. | |

Last night I went to bed at 2:15 AM. Got up at 8:30 and didn't feel tired at all which was amazing. Got ready and went down to the park to get warmed up etc. Warmed up just jogging around and doing some small striders and stuff. Legs feel pretty good. A couple of small sore spots but nothing of concern. Started the race feeling like the pace was really easy. Didn't bring my watch because a) I think I left it at home (in Hurricane) and b) I just wanted to run by feel anyway. Legs felt fine for the first 2 miles and I was running with this guy who seemed very fast. He said he knew some bloggers too. We were way out in front. One other guy was behind us a bit but no one for a long way after that. He was going for under 35 too which was kinda what I was hoping for too so I determined to stick with him. Unfortunately, those dreams were short lived. I don't know whether it was the marathon still in my legs or excessive mileage earlier in the week but my legs just kinda shut off after about two miles and he pulled away and built up a big lead by the time I hit mile 3. About mile 3 I got passed by the guy who was a bit behind us but I got my stuff together and stuck on him. Still trailed by about 3-5 seconds but didn't let him build any lead to speak of. He turned out to be a very good front runner. I would surge to try and get him but by the time I would catch him my legs would be dead again and he would pick it up and get his lead back. This happened 5 or 6 times the whole last half of the race. Almost got him at 1.5 to go, but I wasn't as familiar with the course as I should have been and it just kept making turns and making turns and I was wondering when the heck it was going to end and my legs kept doing this surge-sputter thing. Last .5 mile he has a good 15 second lead but I tried to kick it pretty hard and cut it down to about 9 or 10 seconds by the finish. Ended up 3rd with 35:29:14, so I didn't get any of my goals but I did PR by over a minute (not counting USG) so I'm satisfied for now. I think I kind of redeemed myself from the TOU 5k as well...felt much better about my time and mental state. I didn't let the guy get away from me hardly at all and I was in the race the whole way. Pretty happy about it. Will probably jog a couple more miles today. That later.

11 easy to moderate pace. Legs felt great today! Ran down to First Dam where my FHE group was doing FHE and watched them freeze their butts off by jumping in a 35-40 degree lake (in 45 degree weather) while re-enacting the "Iron Rod" story. I used the fact that I was in the middle of a run as an excuse not to do something that stupid. It was funny...there was definitely some language that will need to be edited out of that one. haha. Anyway, ran down the last half of the First Dam 10k course, up River heights and then east to that one road and out through Providence. Was headed to Main, but then I had the misfortune of running into a couple of other old reprobates crazy enough to run in the dark and stormy night...namely Jon and Cody. ;) Ran with them all the way back to campus on part of the route I came and that was it. Nice run. A little chilly and rainy towards the end but it felt really good. Had a good strong pace most of the way. Hovered around 7 min. averaging maybe slightly under 7 min pace. I think winter is starting to be here. :( |

Last 2 miles hit tempo run pace just to get a workout but felt very good. Weather was pretty cold again but I was dressed for it so it wasn't bad. Great run today. |

I like running down Main because I can look at myself in all the windows and make sure that my form looks good and stuff. Tried to work on that today. It was a cold one today...didn't get out til after dark. I hate this daylight savings time...I don't think it actually saves any daylight. :P Good run though so I'll survive. | |

| Met Jon at the start of the Canal Trail then ran up to the River Trail start where we picked up Paul. Easy pace but my legs were a little fatigued for some reason...no problem though. Went almost to the G-something Campground and came back. 15 miles. Felt good but I was ready to be done when we were done. Longest run since St. George. Weather was beautiful...a little chilly but being dressed warm it wasn't too bad...plus I think I am starting to get used to the cooler temps...still 30 or 40 degrees to go though. :P oh well. Good day today. |

Passed 500 miles on this pair of shoes and they are still in way good shape. My stride etc must be improving because there is a lot less wear and tear at this point on them than my last pair (which are the same brand and style). I figure I have at least another 100 miles on them. |

Got in a great workout today in spite of Hurricane-esque winds. Ran 5 miles to Merlin Olsen Park and back up to the field house where I did some weight training for the first time in a long time Leg Extension: 3x15 @ 105 lbs. Leg Flexor: 3x15 @ 90 lbs Glute Flexor: 3x20 @ 110 lbs Calf Raises: 3x15 w/ 2x35 lb dumbells
Jumping exercise: 3x15 @ 70 lbs Hip Adductors: 3x15 @ 90 lbs Hip Abductors: 3x15 @ 90 lbs Also did 4x200m on the track at about 00:30 apiece. Jog in between. Cooled down for another mile or so back to the apartment. Great workout today! Felt good to get some strength and speed training in. It's been awhile and I will probably be super sore tomorrow. Yay! Oh, and incidentally I weigh in at 140 lbs even with shoes and clothes on.

| 12 on this big loop out in the fields west and south of town with Paul, Cody, and Logan. All flat. Very cold...I had ice in my beard for the first time ever I think. That was cool. Legs were tired from yesterday since it was only like 12 hours since I had last run but it turned out okay. I liked the route...it was very pretty when the sun was coming up over the mountains and shining off the frost on the ground. I bet that run is spectacular in the summer when you can smell the alfalfa and stuff. I think it may become my "Bench Lake" equivalent up here at some point in time. Nice run today. Got done and went back to bed and didn't get up until 1 PM. I am so lazy. haha. No, it's the weekend. |

PM: While hiking Observation Point in ZNP a friend and I decided to run the last little bit so that we could make it to the top before we had to turn back due to nightfall...the other people in our group were very slow so we ran up ahead for awhile. Still decided to turn around before the top but we got a good view anyway and made it back just as it got dark.

| Well, it's been an interesting morning. I was supposed to go running with Holt, Logan, and some of the other St. George guys this morning so I got up on time and drove to what I believed to be the designated meeting spot here in Hurricane...the Canal Trail trailhead. Problem was, there are 2 trails that are sometimes called the Canal Trail. I picked the wrong one. The right one was one that I usually refer to as the "Rim Trail." I was wondering what Holt was talking about when he said something about two towers. By the time I remembered that there were two radio towers near the start of the Rim Trail and that that was probably where they were it was already 8:00...half an hour after I thought they would be there. So I drove like a bat out of hell up to there and discovered that they had already left. I figured they had a 3+ mile lead on me so I booked it up the trail as fast as I could go and cut off all the switchbacks, hurdling brush, yucca, and cactus as I went and praying that I wouldn't break my ankle or neck. Got back on the trail and was able to find some footprints and determine that I was indeed on the right trail and very behind. I knew because last time Logan ran with us I noticed that he had the same shoes as I do, and I also know that Holt usually runs in Asics. Anyway, so I spent the next 7 or 8 miles trying to make up the distance and hope that I would catch them at some point, and also using my tracking "skills" to try and determine which turnoffs they took. I must have got lucky because about 9.5 miles out I ran into a couple of bikers who said that they were a half mile ahead. Turns out they sucked at judging distance because at several places I could see at least that far ahead and didn't see a soul out there. So I kept going on the Jem Trail, crossed the Sheep's Bridge road, and continued. Long story short, I never caught them a little after crossing the road I decided that they probably had a car waiting at the other end, would get there long before me and leave me stranded and too tired to run back out in the middle of the boondocks. So I determined to cut my losses, get back to Sheeps Bridge road, run to the highway and back down the highway on a very narrow shoulder in 60 mph traffic back to the trailhead. I almost died about 4 times, got tons of burrs in my socks, scratched my legs up a bunch and made it back in one piece. So that is my adventure. Sorry guys...I hope you had fun on your run! I did. Oh, and I just noticed Logan's comment on my blog about meeting at Maverick...that would have probably worked...haha. I'll be back down in 2 weeks for Christmas break so we'll have to try again then...and I'll try to get to the right place. |

8 easy today. The last week or so has been absolutely crazy with studying for my finals which are this week and stuff. This week actually will be a little less hectic. I will try to remember what runs I did last week but it was kind of hit and miss. Today I just had an hour so I did a quick 8 and called it good. Then it was back to ex. secretary stuff and studying for my chemistry final which I really need to do good on. The snow was nice though...for some reason I have always enjoyed running in the snow. maybe it's just because it's such a novelty for us southern runners. haha | |

| Did a half mile warmup down to the track and met up with Scott Ensign and another guy...can't remember the name for some reason...I raced him at First Dam, but I'm having a brain Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language ..too many oxidation state rules I guess in there so no room for names. But we decided to do 4 mile repeats at 5:30. The first one we went too fast on and did 5:13 and after that it really sucked because 1) I haven't done a real speed workout for months, and 2) I made the mistake of eating 2 huge bowls of cereal like 45 minutes before we started the workout, so long story short I would get about 2 laps down and then start feeling like I was gonna puke...so it turned into an 800m repeat workout after that first mile. I was pretty consistent on them though...all between 2:40 and 2:45. Slow, but consistent and I suppose that is to be expected for the first speed workout in so long. 2.5 mile cooldown. going to probably hit another couple easy miles tonight if I can find the time. Chemistry final tomorrow.

| 9 miles. Still cold for Hurricane. Got done just as snowflakes started to fall again. I have never ever ever seen this much snow down here...there is still a couple inches on the ground in a lot of places. More to come tonight. I think we've got more snow in the past 3-4 days than we get in a typical year down here. It's nuts. | |

| 11 miles in the snow again. This is crazy. Tried out my new running gloves and head warmer/facemask thingy that I got for my birthday...they were both very nice. : ) |

My left hammy has felt really tight and stressed the last week or so so I gave it a rest today and just hit 5 easy. Cinder Knoll loop. Felt good other than that. Hopefully it loosens up and heals in a couple of days. Sorry I haven't been a very faithful blogger lately everyone...the holidays have been hectic and even though I've been running there's no guarantee that I get time to blog it. But hopefully now that things are slowing down I will be more consistent.
