El Burro Blanco

8 miles in the morning.

12 miles in the evening.

Pretty uneventful 8 miles except I had to stop 2 times in order to use the bathroom.  Yikes! 6:20/mile overall and no soreness in the legs from Saturday's long run.  This is a good sign.

I went up to Weber State and did my workout with Paul today.  I did a 2 mile warm-up and then 10 x 1000m at 3:07 or 5:00/mile pace.  The wind was blowing quite a bit and it was really chilly.  I hit all of them between 3:04-3:07.  I then did a 3.75 mile cooldown afterwards around Weber State.  This was a nice workout for me.  I am tired of the cold weather.  Please bring on the spring weather.

12 miles in the afternoon.

8 easy miles in the morning.  Nothing to exciting except it is still cold.

I ran an easy 3 miles with the track team today in order to get them ready for the meet tomorrow.  I then went home and ran another 9 miles at 6:00/mile overall.  The legs felt fine.  Looking forward to warm weather tomorrow (61 degrees).  Fingers and toes are crossed.

I was a little groggy this morning but managed to survive the 8 miles.  Their are days where I wish I could sleep in.  I guess that is what Sunday is for!

We had the first track meet of the season today.  All of the distance runners did very well.  In the boys 1600 Fremont took the first 4 spots and in the girls 1600 the winner was from Fremont.  I was running around trying to make sure everything was going smooth.  It was fun.  I didn't start my run until about 8:30 at night.  I managed 12 miles at an easy pace.  I was fairly tired so I don't remember much about it.  It is another run in the books though.

My right calf was really tight this morning but it loosened up after I started running.  8 miles fairly easy.  Got to love the rain!  It washed my car for free!

Today was an easy day at track.  We played ultimate frisbee after practice.  They called me "Animal" because I would run down the field and catch the frisbee after someone threw it.  I felt kind of like a dog.  It was fun.  I've never played it before.  I had a big workout this evening.  I did a 4 mile warmup and then did a 5 mile tempo run.  I averaged 5:13/mile for the 5 miles and then did a 3 mile cooldown.  I felt it a little in my legs afterwards.  I made sure I stretched pretty good.

The legs were still a little sore from last night after the tempo run so I kept it nice and easy this morning.

 The power went out at the school so I got to leave a little early and get my run in.  It was windy and cold this afternoon on my 12 miler.  I once again went out towards Smith and Edwards and then back to Fremont.  My left hamstring was bothering me a bit so I slowed down a little.  6:36/mile overall for the run.  I will roll the hamstring out with a foam roller to see if it gets any better.
 

I woke up a little after 7:30 and ran from the in-laws down to Paul's house.  It was nice and chilly in Logan so I am glad I brought my warm stuff.  It was 3.5 miles to Paul's house.  I met up with Paul, Jon, and James to go for a nice 9 mile run out through Providence.  It was cold but the conversation was nice with all of those guys.  We got back to Paul's house and jabbered for a while and then I did another hour of running.  I kept it pretty easy today which was much needed.  I ended up hitting 21 miles for the day and am glad that I have the rest of the day and tomorrow to recuperate from all of the running lately.  I will be spending lots of time with The Stick and Ibuprofen to try and get everything feeling better.  Looking forward to the Striders Half in two weeks.
