I ran on the treadmill at work.  I warmed up slowly for the first mile.  Then for the next 6 miles I continually set the pace faster every minute for 20 minutes, then repeated that pattern.  It was a tough run.

I met Lisa and Michelle N. at Riverton High.  We ran the 7 mile loop and then Michelle and I ran 1 more mile.  The pace was pretty slow, but with the cold air it didn't feel as easy as it should have.

It's hard to run with the group and feel like I am sooo slow and out of shape.  I know I just need to be more consistant with my outdoor running.

I met the group at Bingham.  We warmed up and did some hill sprints on the hill behind Bingham.  Then we did 2 x 2 mile repeats and cooled down back to the cars. 

I remember when those 2 miles felt much easier and the pace was a lot faster.  I ran the repeats at about an 8:00 average, but I was breathing way too hard.

The Riverton 1/2 next week is going to be a slow one.

I met Lisa at her house.  We ran a pretty consistant pace.  I was very proud of myself for not walking even though I wanted to.  Average pace was around 9:00, but that included waiting at few lights.

I met Lisa, Cheris, Michelle M. and Rachel at the District.  We ran up to Daybreak, over to 10200 and looped around back to the cars.  It was a good run.  The weather was perfect in the mid 40's.  I'm still slow, but I know I'll start to see improvement. 

Taylor ran the 1500 last night for the first time in 4:57.  I wish I could have been there to watch her.  Today she runs the 800 and 4x4.  Go Taylor.

I had the day off work, so I met Lisa for a run.  We ran 6 miles from the high school.  I came home and ran another 3 miles.  9 miles is longest run in months.  After the kids left for school, I did the P90X stretch video.  My hamstrings and butt feel so tight when I run.  I really think my running would improve if I stretched more often.

I had an early baptism to go to, so I didn't run with the group. I saw Michelle about a mile into my run and was so happy to run with her. We ran to the trail and made it to the top of hill before we parted way. It was good run, but the wind beat me up. Avg. pace 9:09.

300 meters in 58 seconds

Then I did the 1.5 miles in 11:08.  I tried to take the first half a little slower (5:39) then once I hit the half way I picked it up a little.

I was a little sore from planting flowers the day before.

I took the day off of work today for Alex's graduation.

I ran from my house to the lake at Daybreak until I hit 5 miles and then turned around and ran back.  I really liked this run.  There were a ton of bugs out once I hit the trail, which I didn't like.  I felt really good.  Miles were 9:04, 8:44, 8:32, 8:21, 8:24, 7:51, 7:59, 8:07, 7:50, and 7:58.  Average page 8:17

I paced the 1:50 group at the Drop 13 1/2 marathon with Michelle.  It was so much fun!!!  I can see how being a pacer could be addicting.  This course is very downhill, but I loved it.  The pace felt really relaxed and the miles just flew by.  Several people thanked us at the end.  This was great practice for the Big Cottonwood Marathon.

I'm on vacation this week!!!  I met the BBK's at the Riverfront Park.  We warmed up for 1 mile and then ran some repeats of 5 minutes hard and 3 minutes easy on the trail.  The first 5 minutes I made it to just under 3/4 a mile.  I'm not sure what the other "5 minutes hard" times were, but I'm sure I slowed down some.  We ran an easy mile back to the cars.  Then Michelle and I ran another 2.5.  Taylor thinks I'm faking being sore.  It's crazy that running doesn't hurt, but I'm still walking funny.  Average pace 8:28.

We were still in Park City.  Taylor only wanted 4 miles today.  We ran the opposite direction on the trail.  The first 2 miles were very much uphill.  Then we turned around and ran back.  I really do love the downhill.  There were lots of volunteers out waiting for the Ragnar runners to come by.  Miles were 9:39, 9:58, 8:33 and 7:32.  Average pace 8:57.

Awesome run with my BFF on Wasatch Blvd.  We started at Dimple Dell and ran out to the Little Cottonwood Canyon road and then turned around.  We kept the pace pretty slow for the first half.  We tried to finish the last few miles, which are mostly flat, closer to marathon pace.  Average pace 8:58.

I did the usual loop from work but added a little by going South on the trail for a bit.  I just ran a comfortable pace.  When I got to the light on the corner, I saw the DOC cadets running back.  So like Michelle, I had to pass them.  I'm guessing I passed about 15.  Average for the run 8:37.

I ran from work and out on the trail.  I was keeping a pretty decent pace in low 8's.  On the way back I ran into TJ.  He was testing two guys and asked if I wanted to help.  I ran with him back to the half way mark and waited.  We decided that I would run back with the faster guy.  He reached us at about 5 minutes flat.  He was pretty fast, and I couldn't catch him but I stayed about 1 second behind the whole way back.  I ran the .75 in 5:04.

We dropped my boy off at the airport this morning at 5:45.  It was the hardest thing I've ever done.  I'm going to miss him so much.  I hope the next two years go by fast.  I had thought about running after, but I was too emotionally drained.

I woke to the sound of rain.  Taylor and I were volunteers and had to be to the park at 5:30.  It was a little chaotic before the race.  I didn't get a warm up, so I decided to just take the first mile nice and easy.  It was very humid this morning.  I didn't really have a time goal in mind.  I just ran.  I hate to admit that I even walked two or three times, but never for more than a few seconds.  I really need to start putting in more miles.  I can't believe the Big Cottonwood marathon is only 2 1/2 months away.  That makes me nervous.  Anyway, I feel like I finished strong.  It's hard to believe that I ran this race over three minutes faster a few years ago.  Oh well.  My miles were 7:52, 7:29, 7:48, 7:54, 8:21 (this is mile I walked a few times), 7:48 and 7:12 pace for the final .28.  I always measure this course a little long.  Average 7:51.  

I came home and cooled down with Taylor for a mile.  She took 2nd overall in the 5k.  Sadly, runnercard had her listed in the 1 mile fun run and they gave her plaque away to someone else before she could say anything.

Jared drove us 12 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon this morning and dropped me, Michelle and Kris off.  We then ran down the canyon.  It was a little scary a few times.  There was some kind of a bike race going on.  Luckily, they were are going uphill.  I never felt all that fantastic.  At the bottom, Kris left and Michelle and I ran another 6 miles back to the car at Cottonwood High School.  We wanted to get a feel of how hard the marathon will be once we come out of the canyon.  I was tired, but it didn't feel too bad and we still maintained a decent pace.  We finished in 2:26:03. Miles were 8:19, 8:04, 8:01, 8:18, 8:21, 8:04, 7:34, 7:47, 7:41, 7:49, 7:46, 7:58 (last canyon mile), 8:01 8:19, 8:21, 8:34, 8:32, 8:25.  Average 8:07.  I was very nervous about the cars and bikes which I know slowed me down quite a bit.

The BBKs were meeting at Dimple Dell at 6:00 this morning.  I decided to start at Kmart and run towards them so I could start really slow.  I didn't get started as early as I had hoped.  I met up with them pretty quickly and I could tell that the pace was a little fast for me.  I ran with the group for a few miles, then I let them go ahead.  I would catch them each time they regrouped and run with them for a little bit.  We ran out on Wasatch until the Little Cottonwood Canyon road and then turned around.  It was not an easy run!  My average pace for running was 8:18.  I did stop my watch a few times when I walked and when we regrouped.

Taylor and I decided to do a trail run today.  We started at the Orson Hyde trailhead.  We ran South for about 3.7 miles and came out by the equestrian park.  We ran back to the car on Highland Drive.  That had some serious uphill.  We were only at 5 miles so ran out on the trail for another mile and turned around and ran back.  It was a hard run, but it was a nice change.  It was much cooler up there.  We averaged around 10 minute miles.

At the last minute Michelle couldn't make it.  I headed out on my own at 6:00 AM.  I ran uphill most of the 5 miles to the lake.  Then I circled the lake for 3 miles and ran up 11400 and turned North on to the Mountain View Corridor trail until I hit 10 miles.  Then I turned around and ran the same way back home.  It was a decent run, but 20 miles is hard to run by yourself.

This was a fun race.  Neither my ankle or my knee bothered me at all.  My goal was to run 1:40 or faster.  I wish it was faster, but I haven't done any speed work.  

The first mile was crazy.  It was tough trying to weave around the slower runners.  I tried staying with Curt, but after about 2 miles he pulled ahead.  I carried my bottle with Gatorade for the first 6 miles.  I didn't stop at the first aid station.  I like doing that at marathons, but I don't think I'll do that at a half marathon again.  I had GUs at miles 6 and 10.

 I felt pretty tired the last few miles and wanted to walk.  I told Alex before he left for his mission that I was going to dedicate my races to him.  So I kept reminding myself that "I can do hard things".  The last mile I tried to pick up the pace to make sure I didn't go over 1:40.  

I didn't have any stomach issues.  Yeah.  I had a banana and a poptart for breakfast.   

My splits were: 7:40, 7:27, 7:35, 7:31, 7:41, 7:37, 7:45, 7:58, 7:37, 7:55, 8:26, 7:48 and 7:39 (.97).

Nice work, especially for doing no speed work. Glad to hear your body held up, too. Doesn't that make all the difference!? Haha.

I met the BBKs at the church on 9800th and 2200.  We warmed up for 2 miles.  Then we ran a 5 mile tempo run.  2.5 miles up to 4000 w. (mostly through the neighborhoods) and then back down.  I ran with Becky.  Then I got to work and ran 3 more miles.

The plan was for Michelle to pick me up at then meet Angela at Porcupine Grill at 6:10.  Michelle called at 5:40 to let me know her car had been stolen from her garage and she couldn't go.  I felt so bad for her.  :(

I picked up Angela at Porcupine and we drove 14 miles up Big Cottonwood to the Brighton store. I had planned on running 20, but without Michelle I just couldn't talk myself into it.  

Angela and I kept a pretty good pace.  I had a bad side stitch on my left side for about a mile.  That was painful.  I still felt fatigued from running Hobble Creek last week so maybe it was good I didn't run the full 20.  That means I will most likely run 20 next week. 

I actually ran the 13 miles today faster than I ran Hobble Creek.  My time for the 14 miles was 1:46.  Average pace 7:35.  I'm hoping if I run 20-30 seconds per mile slower for the Big Cottonwood Marathon the last 12 won't be too miserable.

I met the BBKs at 9800 and 2200 again.  We warmed up for 1/2 mile then started the 6 mile tempo run.  3 miles uphill and 3 miles downhill.  I tried to push hard, but my times weren't all that fast.  I think I averaged about an 8:00 mile.  I cooled down for another mile and then went to work and ran on the treadmill until I hit 10 miles for the day.  It was a miserably hot day at work.  Second day in a row without air conditioning.

20 very long miles.  I knew this was going to be tough and it was.  The air conditioning has been out all week at work.  Last night when I got home, my calves, ankles and feet were so swollen and they just hurt.  I was way dehydrated.  I put my compression socks on and they were so tight it was painful.  Anyway, I didn't want to back out on Angela, so I stuck to the plan.  I ran 14 miles on the trail.  Angela wanted downhill so she ran from Suncrest and we met on 12600 and ran 6 more miles together.  I'm so glad that is over.  I don't know if I have really been running enough to taper, but I think I will.

Met the BBKs at 10200 s. and 40th w.  We ran a 7 mile tempo run which inluded going up the big hill in front of the temple.  I planned on getting there early to warm up, but I didn't make it.  I started right into the tempo run which is not good for me.  Not a super fast run, but I ended up with an 8:00 average.

I'm writing this report over a month later.  I know I'll be mad at myself if I don't record some of the details I remember. I went up by myself and got on the second bus going up to the top.  It was pretty cold at the top.  I wrapped up in my mylar blanket, laid my garbage bag on the side of the mountain and just tried to rest until the race started.  Another bus got high centered on the way up and caused the race to delayed.  I had hoped to run with the 3:35 pace group, but I could never see them at the beginning.  

I tried to just to just keep the pace under control.  My splits were:

Miles 1-5  8:03, 7:54, 7:38, 7:32, 7:27 (5 miles in 38:36)

Miles 6-10 7:30, 7:40, 9:45, 7:39, 8:04   (10 miles in 1:19) (I had to wait in line for the porta potty at mile 8 forever.  It was frustrating, but I had no choice)

Miles 11-15  7:46, 7:44, 7:28, 7:48 9:24 (15 miles in 1:59) (Another porta potty stop at mile 15)

Miles 16-20 8:02, 8:24, 8:17, 8:33, 10:06 (20 miles in 2:42) (The wheels started coming off just before mile 20.  My legs were beat and I was falling apart.)

Miles 21-25 11:41, 12:16, 11:21, 11:56, 10:43 (25 miles in 3:40) (I obviously was walking more than I was running.  I was so disappointed in myself and I hated this section of the race.)

Miles 26 and last long .37 9:50 and 9:01 pace for the .37 (The good news is I did pass 2 girls that I had been leap frogging with for several miles.  That helped me push hard at the end.

My awesome sister Angela ran the 1/2 and waited around for me to finish.  I was so happy to see her there.  She's the best.

There were a lot of things I liked about this race, but I don't know if I will do it again for awhile.
