3 miles in the morning with the team. Very warm!

11 miles total this afternoon. 2 mile warm up with the team and then ran with the girls during their workout (4x1000m w/3:00 min. recovery jog, 4x200m w/200m recovery jog), finishing with a mile cool down. Solid workout from the girls.

4 more miles running up along River Rd. with Dace. Talked mostly about this weekend and what the plan is.

3 miles in the morning with the team. Way too tired this morning from a late night so I unfortunately did not meet up with the boys.

7 miles this afternoon with the team. We did a 2 mile warm up, 8x400m, and then a cool down to get the mileage for the day. I ran with some of the girls. Splits were between 1:24-1:28. Great workout.

9 miles this morning. 

I ran 6 miles this morning around Webb Hill nice and relaxed. I then ran 3 more miles with the team to Hidden Valley.

The meet got cancelled this weekend so we did our own mini meet at the high school. I got another mile in running around taking care of things. Really fast times were ran today so that is very encouraging. Very happy with the progress of the distance group this year.

I got a new Suunto Ambit watch to run with. I absolutely love this thing. It does everything. I am going out on a limb and saying it is better than my old Garmin Forerunner 205.

3 miles in the rain running with the team.

7 miles this afternoon with the team running in more rain and mud. Ran up behind the high school and did a fun loop on the trails. Got me in the mood for running the race tomorrow. It should be fun.

4.25 mile warm up over to my parent's house and back. Needed to use their bathroom.

We didn't have the Hurricane Invite this weekend so some of my runners and myself jumped in the trail half marathon by my house. I wasn't too set on doing it but it was on the Barrel Roll and the price was right. The race started right across the street from the Jacob Hamblin house and then climbs up to Barrel Roll. We came back down and then climbed back up to Unity Park in Ivins. It was nice and muddy due to the rain from the last two days. I ran with a bunch of my boys today to push them. I started to get bogged down with mud the last two miles and ended up getting beat by Josh Thatcher by about 15 seconds. Happy for him but bummed that I was dragging mud all over the place and couldn't get my but* in gear.. I couldn't believe how strong Josh is. I am glad he runs at Desert Hills. The rest of the team ran very well also.

Solid workout and a great little push to end the week.
