| AM - 5 miles on the treadmill. 1 mile warm-up, then 1 mile @ 10% grade and 1 mile @ 5% grade. Finished with 1/2 mile @ 6:40, 1/4 mile at 6:00 and 1/4 mile cool-down. Not being a fast runner, it was all I could do to keep from flying off the end of the mill. PM - went to Provo to visit my daughter. My wife and I ran 5 miles around the BYU campus. |

| Sunday I woke up with a pretty bad cold. Couldn't run Monday. Tuesday - Late night 5 miles on the treadmill. Running with a sore throat and congestion is not fun. |

| 5 miles on the canal road with my wife. The 30 mph headwind on the uphill return trip really made us work. |

Ran down to Three Mile Creek Elementary School where my wife teaches, then around a 5k route I'm developing for a fund raising race the school is hosting on May 7th. Ran back home for a total of 6.75 miles. Three miles late evening on the treadmill. Trying to work on improving speed. |

| Ran the hills up Perry canyon, then the canal road to Sardine Canyon and back. 7.5 miles. I passed a man walking on the canal road, we exchanged greetings. 1-1/2 mile after the turn-around, I passed him again heading back. He said 'Someday I will be able to run like you.'. I told him 'Just start and keep at it.'. It is still weird that some folks consider me a role model for running. |

| 10 miles this 54th birthday morning. I know some people run their age in miles on their birthday, next week I'm running the Antelope Island Buffalo Run 50k. I'll tack on an extra 4k for a 54k birthday run. Maybe I can start a new fad of running kilometers per year. I ran the Grizzly Peak Trail up Perry Canyon. It was a nasty, windy morning with dust being kicked up at the gravel pit, but once I got into the canyon the wind was blocked. The single-track was in great shape. Only a few muddy spots. After about 600 ft elevation gain the snow appeared (I was running a north facing slope). It was crusty and slick, but the snow would only cover the trail for 50 or 60 feet at a time. Most of it was runnable. Blasting the downhill to home was fun. | | Add Comment |

| 5 mile run south on the canal road. I should have noticed the snow all around as I got home from work. Put on shorts and a short sleeved shirt and was surprized how cold it was outside. Too lazy to go back in and change, I thought I would be warm once I got going. Wrong. My hands froze as I hit the hills to the south, then the little hail balls started hitting me. Not fun, but my new INOV8 ROClites sure felt good. |

| Today I ran the 25k and set a new PR for this distance by 22:51. The weather forecast looked pretty bleak, but the conditions turned out to be perfect. I had planned to run the 50k, but realized I should just focus on the 25k. I love running on Antelope Island and this race is so well organized. I saw so many racing friends and had a great time. I need to get out and do more long runs to prepare for Ogden Marathon and Logan Peak. |

| 5 miles on the treadmill, 2 of them at 10% incline. My wife discovered 'planks', so now I have to do them too. I guess I can use some core training. |
