Let's do this!

6.2 sunday sin run with Julie. Oh so beautiful out! 

58 min elliptical. Chatted with Roy (roids) before I left the gym about the nestle 5k. I guess there was around 2,000 runners there. I under guessed how many people ran. Roy ran it in 32 min. Pretty good for a competitive body builder. He's huge.

Came home and ran 4 miles on the river trail. Some teenage punks nearly took me out of this life a 1/2 mile into my run. They blasted through a stop sign and around the corner that little old me happened to be crossing. Those dumb asses.

I didn't want to run far or fast today because my right underfoot hurts. Would you expect anything less from me? Something always hurts on me these days :)   4 miles in 28 minutes.

My training has been kind of unstructured and all over the place the last 3 months since coming back from injury. I decided this weekend it's time to train for the 10k and get a good training program going the next four weeks. I also am interested in trail running the next two weeks to give my legs and feet a softer surface break.

Next race: Freedom run 10k, July 4th Provo. Goal: sub 40

25 min elliptical, weights, worked core. River trail loop twice=7 miles. A bug flew up my nose, there were a lot of people on the trail today. 

Bonnie sent me a 10k training plan last night, today called for a 30-60 easy run. 8:20 pace. I tried to keep it easy, but that pace felt a little to easy, I kept it more at an 8:07 and that felt easy but better. I'm excited to train for the 10k these next few weeks.

8 miles on the tread with sprint intervals 2 min @ 6:15 pace followed by 7:41 1 min 30 sec recovery in between. I wanted to chat with Julie and her new bff Jeff but I was laughing to much to sprint. So I had to earphone it. I have to do sprints on the TM or I just won't stick to the pace. I can tempo outside well tho.

Then....

3 more outside miles which killed me a bit. I was just dead from the 8 miles of sprint on offs. My watch died half way through. At least it wasn't my music that died today. Yesterday my ipod was dead and my gigabeat died half way through my run.  I should start charging my things the night before. Lazzzzy Lily.

Just took it easy today and gave my legs a break. Elliptical hell for 60 min, ran 2 miles. Down 6 lbs. want to loose 10 more before SGM. Then my neighbors stops by with cocoa bean cupcakes last night. Mmmmkk....

11 miles with Merri. First 6 miles were an out and back in the fields towards the hari krishna temple. That place is trippy looking. Besides the dog that barked and approached us, and the pheasant that startled the breath out of us, things went pretty smoothly. We dropped water at the corner so at 6 miles we stopped and drank and ate Merri's beans. Then ran 5 more for a total of 11 miles. And that ain't no beans....

Free weights at home.

I'm feeling the hunger setting in from the longer run already.

5 miles at 6:15 with Merri and Lynsey. Avg. pace 7:30

Went to Gold's and lifted a bit. Then ran 3 more miles on the tm. Intervals.

I am excited to hear how everyone does at UVM today. I can hardly wait!
