Still up in Logan. Ran a loop down through the main part of town. Cooler temps made this run amazing. I caught all of the traffic for everyone going to school. Pretty busy. 7:00/mile overall. No run this afternoon due to driving all day from Logan back home. Great weekend with the in-laws.

Way to go Meb and Shalane. Very impressive to see what you did at Boston. Very inspirational. Major props to the rest of the FRBers who ran as well. I think I want to go back next year.

3 easy miles this morning. The weather was nice and warm which helped make the run nice.

Due to gail force winds we did our annual 200m repeat workout. I have a set time for each runner and they are supposed to hit as many of them as they can. I ran the first 24 with some of the boys. Hit between :38 and :40 seconds for each of them. I then hopped in the last 12 with the boys. I hit :32 to :34 on them. The boys were in front of me for most of them. I had to shut them down at 36 because I needed to get home. They would have kept going if I didn't stop them. Solid workout and something a little different for the team.

Now I am trashed. Seems like an easier workout on paper but is not. Good day of running.

5 miles this morning with some of the team. Did a 2 mile warm up, strides and then 8x400m with 2:00min. rest. Ran the first 6 with Courtney and Laynee. 1:13 - 1:15. Did the last 2 with the boys. I hit 1:06 for both of them but they were obviously faster than this old man.

4 easy miles with the team this afternoon in the wind. Ran up along the Arizona Strip. Core and stretch after. Ran to and from my parent's house to tack on another 7 miles. Still very windy. 7:10/mile.

Woke up very early (3:15am) to get the run in. Clyde was gracious enough to come and run with me. I needed to go early because the track team was heading up to Richfield for a meet.

We started at my house and then ran out along the Snow Canyon Parkway. The temps were quite warm and then it ended up raining for about the last 4-5 miles once we started to head back.

Once we hit Ivins, a police officer flashed his lights and then flipped around. He asked, "Are you guys okay? Are you doing the Ironman next week?" We told him we were just runners and he wasn't quite sure what to say to that. He drove off and told us to have a great day. This lovely running habit I have :) Finished the run off for a total of 15 miles just under 7:30/mile.

Went to Richfield and spent the day in cold temps and rain. Quite an interesting day. I survived and am happy to be done for the week.
