Run one of those rediculously aided Utah half-marathons helter skelter down a canyon and get a PR.

Personal:

Married with three boys. Ran the Odgen Marathon in honor of my mother, a marathoner, who passed away from cancer and it just had continued from there. Grew up in a running family and have fallen in love with running, especially on trails.

Went in early to the gym and got a quick run in before work.  Not quick as far as speed goes, but still nice to get a run in before work. I was feeling kind of "creaky" getting going, must be getting old.  Maybe it was the damage I did with all the delicious "junk" I ate last night watching the superbowl.

1st mile 8:37, then the next 5 at 8:00 pace, with the last mile at 7:30.  Ended up feeling ok at the end of the run.

Woke up with no energy and a full day ahead. My wife went to the gym early and I had to get the kids ready for school and take care of the puppy in the morning. I was planning on heading out in the afternoon, but still felt sluggish like I was coming down with some sort of sickness. I took the puppy out into the fields behind the house as she had way too much energy from being inside all day.  Ran probably 1.5 through the snow with the pup.  I probably just had a migrane as I am feeling much better today.

Woke up feeling much better, I think maybe just a migrane last night and probably some old bones. Went to the gym this morning, 1 mile warm up at 8 pace then miles 2-5 at 7:30, with mile 6 at 7:03, cool down the last mile at 8:00 again.

 

Run felt pretty good, not breathing too hard, but still a sweaty mess.  I think it is still pretty hard on my body to go from 3 miles a week for the past couple months due to injury then back to 7 miles a day.  I probably need to take it easy every other day then get quality workouts in the others until my body is adjusted to training again.

Nice recovery run this morning, just set the boring treadmill on 8:47 pace and plugged along. Good to get one in this morning.

Finally a run outside, went from the house to the canal trail. Then on the road south towards the high school. Felt good to get out 7:46 AP, got back in time to change and go the my son's donut date at school.

Got home very late last night from the Jazz game we went to with the team I help coach.  Had a lot going on today, but I eventually found my way out this afternoon.  The snow let off for the most part with just some flurries the first half.  I thought the roads were clear, but it was VERY slippery in places.  My altras were acting like ice skates in places.  AP for the run 8:09, hard to get on a roll trying not to fall.

Went from the house out towards the highschool, up the hill towards the Ranches  Legs were fatigued by the end, oh well, first double digit run of the new year.  Got to start somewhere.
