Morning run on the TM.
First time ever running all my weekly miles on a TM. If I didn't have a cold I wouldn't have done it. I watched Run Away Bride during my TM run. At least it's kind of a running movie.

Went 6.65 miles with my son Dallas and two of his friends Bryson and Jason. The ran an indoor trackmeet yesterday afternoon at the olympic oval and Dallas finally broke the 5 minute mile with a 4:58!! It was an easy run at about 8:05 avg.
I came in the house got a drink and some of the women from our WBR team were just heading out. I ran about 2.4 miles with them at about a 9:30 avg. Then I ran the last 4 in about a 7:15 avg. The sun finally made it up for my last half a mile.
My knee started hurting after yesterdays run. It didn't bother me today. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt me as I pick up the mileage this spring.

Whenever my running is going really good it seems something always happens. Last night with one minute left in our last ward basketball game of the season I try to run down a lose ball and pull my hamstring.
Today I'm walking really slow to keep the pain down and sitting down in my office chair hurts. It hurts right wear it connects to the butt. I was just starting to get excited for the upcoming 5K in a few weeks. Hope, I can recover quickly. | |

I'm not sure if I pulled my hamstring last Thursday night or my Tendon-bum-itis flared up or if they are the same thing. Anyway, it has been feeling a little better every day. Today I went really slow and it was just a lite pain in the butt.

Bum-itis is still frustrating. I go to bed and it's not hurting and I wake up and it's aching? And it aches the entire run. I'm hoping it will get better as I continue to run, but not sure.

Morning run on the Riverton half course. Chad invited me and I brought Dallas along and a few other great runners were with us. Dallas and I took a little short-cut cause Dallas's stomach wasn't feeling good. A good finish to the week. Now if I could just get the bumitis to go away.

Purchased some new saucony grid speed shoes for $35 and they made me go fast. I couldn't help it. But now my bumitis is going to pay for it for a day or two. Did the last 0.6 miles in 5:55 avg. and it about killed me off. I haven't done any speed workout for a few weeks and my head kept telling me to slow down.

Very nice day for a run. Tried a new pair of running shoes (Avia 5792). They only cost $27 on sale. They were ok, but my left toe got feeling a little warm but no blisters. I liked my other new pair of saucony's I wore for the first time yesterday a little better.
Bumitis a little worse off because of yesterdays run but very slowly improving.
To bad all my lunch runs couldn't be between 45-50' and sunny.

Disappointed to wake up to 5 inches of fresh snow. Luckily up by hogle zoo there was only an inch or two of snow on the roads.
I met up with my good friend Tom and we ran about a 3 mile warmup. On part of the warmup we were on the first half mile of the course. It seemed slick and slushy and not a great day to race.
The gun went off and the race was on. The first mile was probably the worst for snow & slush. The second mile I was able to find mostly just wet roads but the last mile had some more slushy parts. Making the corner onto the track I had to slow down to a walk.
It's always fun to run on an aided course with over 300 feet of vertical drop and see that you're doing sub 6 miles. It also helps to know Tom is behind me and that I want to put as much distance on him so I can show him who's boss.

We ran from Grandma's up Ephraim canyon and back. On the way back Dallas really picked up the pace. Those young guys really like to fly down hill. Luckily after a really fast mile he got a side ache so we could slow down.
Probably did the 1st uphill half in 31 and the down hill have in 24.

Noon run, mostly sunny, temp. 50'
Decided to run the first 4 miles wind aided at marathon pace. I ended up with about 6:50 miles for the first 4 miles and didn't know if that was really a little faster than marathon pace. Then when I turned around and headed into the wind I decided to stay at that same 6:50 pace which was definitely faster than marathon pace and the last mile I threw in a 6:15 mile to really get the heart rate going.

Took it really easy today cause I'm running a 10k tomorrow and my legs are tired. This will be my 4th 60+ mile week and even though I've run easy every day but Tuesday my legs want a break to get that fresh feeling again. Hopefully, a nice 24 hour rest will do my legs some good so they run fast tomorrow.

The SJ 10K is a small race because it's on the same day as the SLC Marathon & half. I thought I'd have a good chance of making the top 3 even without a proper taper. My real goal is the Ogden marathon so this was just a nice way to see what kind of shape I'm in.
I ran from home to the starting line which was 6 miles. By the time I got there my legs weren't as fresh as I'd like. To do this race justice I'd have to taper better. It didn't rain the whole way to the race. It was about 45' and a little windy. I arrived with about 8 minutes till the race started
Right as the race got going it started to sprinkle and it kept it up for about 2 miles then stopped. The race didn't have a gun they just had a countdown and said GO. I immediatly followed a guy that looked my age (Steve Whitney). He took off at about the perfect pace. My legs didn't want to race for about the first half mile but then they got in the grove and I passed Steve and continued to put space between me and him the rest of the race. I ended up beating him by two minutes. Mile 3 has a big hill in it and mile 4 goes over the switch back overpass.
I didn't find that killer race gear the last few miles. It started raining the last two miles and going down the hill the wind was blowing against and I had a big led so I just mantained the pace in. I should have been near 6 minute even on those last couple of miles. My garmin said 6.11 miles for the race. I hope it was reading low and the course was really 6.2.

My garmin has glitched and been acting odd. The battery indictor shows 99% always and sometimes the clock doesn't move for hours. I kept wearing it this week and it finally ran out of juice this morning. I recharged it and it appears to be working good again. Hopefully it isn't dying on me and just needed to be rebooted.

Great morning for a run, I just wish I didn't have to start at 4:30am so I could make it to soccer games and Track meets.
Dallas ran in the Davis high invite and got a 9 second PR in the mile with a 4:40!
My run went good enough. My legs were a little tired from high mileage for me, but I was able to do the last 3 miles at MP.

Higher mileage is always more tricky to get through. Half way into my run this morning a got a cramp in my left quad. It was just a small strand of muscle in my quad that didn't want to cooperate. I walked and stretched and it didn't want to go away. I jogged very slow for a couple of miles with a few walking breaks and it finally kind of went away. However after the run it was still tight and acting funny.

If you like rain and cold this was a great marathon. The short version of the race is my left quad cramped up at mile 17.75. I nursed it with some walking breaks for a couple of miles then it let me jog easy the rest of the way.
I had a plan to run 6:40's for the first 8 miles then shift to 7:10s around the lake except for the hill and then go back to 6:40's the rest of the way to get me to a 2:59. I kind of stuck to the plan except for at mile 8 a faster group passed by me and I stuck with them for a mile or so before I decided to back off and go back to the original plan. I also took a couple of the first 8 miles just a little to fast but not fast enough to cause a dang cramp at mile 17.
I didn't warm up much, it just didn't seem appealing with the rain. I did stretch and walk and felt ready to go. It rained almost the entire race. There were a few times that it stopped and my shirt was attempting to get dry then the rain would come back.
I guess I can always hope for another sub 3 but my old body just wont seem to let me. I did get 6th out of the 150 in my AD.

Morning run with Dallas. Once again he didn't want to run slow. I was able to hold him back somewhat the first two miles then he was like a thirsty horse that could smell water. The third mile was in 6:38, and the final mile was in 6:00 for me and probably about 5:30 for Dallas, I couldn't stay with him.

Morning run with my WBR team on the suncrest Draper hill. Mike a new member of our team has got in really good shape the last year and I wanted to see what he could do. We went at half marathon pace or better up and down the hill which was 6.9 round trip. Three of the downhill miles were just under 6 average. Mike is as fast as me. Nice to have a neighbor that is my speed. Then I jogged back up much easier to meet with the next group of our team and ran back with them.

A very nice day for a marathon. Temperatures were perfect at the start but to hot near the end. The mountains and valleys were beautiful and green. A very nice run. I did like the way they had the entire half of the road blocked off for runners down the canyon. The portipotty mess up didn't cause me any problems but I'm sure there were many uphappy runners. Luckily the half marathon portipotties were in the perfect place for me.
Now for my excuses of not going sub 3 which is usually my goal but I rarely achieve it. I ran Ogden three weeks ago and didn't do the right things to recover well. My two assistants at work quit and I've been working 70 hours a week and my brain is in shut down mode. My brain just wants to rest and not push.
I started out with low hopes of going sub three but still some hope. The first 5-6 miles felt pretty good but then I could tell I was laboring just a little to much for so soon in the race. I just didn't have the fresh happy feeling I need so early in the race. That is when I quit looking at my watch and just started to go by feel. That ended up being a good plan because around mile 20 my legs started showing signs of cramping. By mile 24ish I thought I might have to do some good walking but I think I took an extra slow mile that let my legs recover just enough to keep going to the finish. I finished 16 seconds behind the 1st place guy in my age division. To bad the legs wouldn't let me run. I do like getting a free shirt that says 2013 Boston Qualifier and the medals were nice.
See mile times below. This years race must have started about a mile further up the canyon than 2010's race. It finished near the Provo tabernacle not the Provo mall.

Ran on the tail on the back side of Deer Creek Reservoir that parallels the Heber Creeper. The 1st half mile goes up hill then you get nice rolling tail the rest. I was trying to push Dallas. I want him to preform well in XC this fall. So I pushed up the hill hard. That was the ticket, get him running hard and then he would just keep at a solid pace the rest of the way. We ran a couple miles just over 7 minute even and the last at 6:23.
Taunia and Danny ran 5 miles on the trail.

A great day for the Ragnar WBR. Probably the best weather in the last 7 years that I've been running it. One of our team got food poisoning the night before and couldn't make it so I got to run an extra leg.
First leg was 6.89 and mostly down in 45:33. Mile avg. - 6:36.
I got a bad headache and when I do I always throw up. I threw-up about 5 minutes before running this leg. Second leg was 8.25 all up hill in 65:09. Mile avg. - 7:54.
Head feeling better after 2.5 hours of sleep. Third leg was 7.69 and mostly up hill in 60:07. Mile avg. - 7:49
Fourth leg was 3.7 with steep up hill then back down on a dirt trail in 33:54. Mile avg. - 9:09

Decided to run to my sisters in Lehi who was having a family breakfast. My family drove. Woke up to light drizzle which was a good thing to cool down the temperatures.

Went to Bingham track and did a mile warm up. After reading of Tom & Kim's Yasso 800's I decided to give it a try. I didn't read how to do them correctly, but I did a half a lap recover walk between the 800's. Don't know if your suppose to recover jog or walk. Then cooled down with a mile jog.

We had a family reunion, float down Provo river scheduled for the afternoon but it clouded up, got colder and then started raining.

Ran miles 2 and 4 fast in 5:58 and 5:55. I thought it wouldn't take so much effort to go sub 6's but it took all my brain power I could give. Maybe I need to eat healthier, cause it took awhile to clear my brain after the fast miles.

Ran up Ephraim Canyon and back down. Saw some archery deer hunters and some bear hunters with dogs. The Lake Hill turn off was exactly 8 miles. The first 7 miles coming down I ran them all under 6 minute miles at a 5:52 avg. The final mile is more flat and I ran that in 6:45. I wish I could do that for 26 miles at the SGM.

Ran Butterfield canyon and pushed the pace pretty good. Ran the last 5 fast and about a half mile before finishing my left quad started cramping up. Same old thing that always happens when I put to much speed into a long run.

Ran Butterfield canyon. They had the canyon blocked off because the heavy rains yesterday pushed alot of dirt and mud on the first couple of miles of the road. My shoes and legs got a muddy but at least I had the roads to myself. I ran the first 13 easy and the last 7 downhill miles at what I hope to do at SGM on the down hills.

I thougth I had eaten enough and hydrated well but something just wasn't working with me today. I don't think it helped that I worked 12-13 hours the last couple of days. Usually, when I start a race I'm happy, my mind is alert and ready for a fun race, but today my brain was useless. No mojo, no fight. I hope this doesn't happen at SG in a couple of weeks or Mr. Lee may have a chance.
Anyway, the race started and I could tell I was struggling but I my legs weren't tired so I pushed on. I ran in 3rd place the entire race. After 2 miles I was only 10 yards behind first place. After 3 miles first place was putting more distance between me and second place. I was hoping my body would eventually kick in and start fighting but it never did. By mile 8 I had let the second place guy ahead of me by about 200 yards. It was then that I decided that I didn't care if my brain didn't want to be clear and happy and energetic, I was going to take second place. Getting close to mile 10 I was about 50 yards behind second and closing and then my quad on my left leg started cramping up. I then gave up the fight and walked for a little bit and coasted in for 3rd place.
My last years time of 1:25:59 would have won the race by a minute.

Ran my lower less steep portion of Butterfield. I took an excedrin before the run to see if that'd perk me up. I don't know if it was the excedrin or just a good day but I had one of my better days. Hope I can feel like that next weekend in SG.

St. George Marathon (26.2 Miles) 02:59:56, Place overall: 206, Place in age division: 24 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 26.20 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 26.20 |
| Rarely do the elements combine to give near perfect weather at St. George, but today got as close as it can get down there. Originally, I had thought I'd go for a 3:05 but with the cooler weather and a tail wind at the start I decided to try for a sub 3.
I tried to get enough sleep this week and stretch and do enough good things so I'd have a chance at a good marathon. Also, staying with Tom and Kim Lee always helps take the stress out of the hotel experience. Plus they were invited to this awesome prior neighbor that now lives in SG and I tagged along. The food was great and we got to watch the BYU/USU game. Again no stressful finding a place to eat the night before the race.
Notes for self. Took 4 salt pills, one prior to race, at miles 5,11,17. Maybe I should have had another one at mile 23. Also took an excedrin pre race and at half way. I drank at every aid station and some of them I had two cups and I was still slightly dehydrated after the marathon even with the cool temperatures. How much do you have to drink?
My goal was to not run any miles especially the downhill miles faster than my plan. That was hard. Good thing we have GPS's to let us know when we are going to fast. A few times I'd look at my watch and it would be reading 6:05-6:10 and I'd have to slow back down. My problem isn't hitting the wall it's that my legs cramp up. The cramping happens sooner if I run a mile or two on the faster end, which then ruins the race because I have to slow way down or do the walk jog thing the rest of the way.
The start was good because like the weathman predicted it was blowing from the north and it was cold, maybe around 40. I hit the porta potties and did about a 15 minute walk with a 1 minute jog with Tom and called it good for the warm up.
Miles 1-7, felt good, kept checking the watch so I wouldn't go out to fast. I like cold weather running so I took off the long sleeve shirt I was wearing at mile two. At mile 7 I also got ride of the gloves I was wearing. I questioned that idea for the next few miles as my hands got pretty cold, but I new the sun would make its appearance and everything would be fine.
Miles 8-13, Took about a 35 second potty break at the bottom of Veyo hill. Still feeling great and keeping the running under control. To my suprise the 3:05 pace group passed me at about mile 10. I didn't let it affect me because this is my 9th time running this and I had a plan. They got about 200 yards ahead of me at one point. I did want to tell them they were going out a little to fast but I didn't think it would really help anyone. I was 92:46 at the half way point. Just were I wanted to be.
Miles 14-20, Still feeling good, I really wanted to cruise the down hills miles of 15 when you get a view of Snow canyon but I resisted the urge. Usually when I see the hill at mile 19 I dread it but this year it was no problem and I may have taken it a little to fast. Also, I did pass up the 3:05 group at about mile 17 or 18.
Miles 21-26, I really wanted to let loose and run some 6 even miles but I again resisted because I don't trust the cramping in my legs. It was a good thing I resisted because at mile 23 my legs started the signs of cramping. During mile 25 my right hammy cramped up and made me walk for about 10 steps before I felt I could try running again. At that point I new I was on pace for sub 3 with my energy but had little time to spare for the slow down of cramped legs. Thats when you start praying, pleading and hoping you can make your goal. On mile 26 my legs were grabbing all over the place, calves, quads, hammies and I just had to try to run as easy and light as possible. The last few hundred yards I was doing the staight legged funny run cause if I bent my legs to much they would cramp. I made it by 4 SECONDS!!! YEEHAW!! According to RunPix I passed 62 people the last 7 miles and got passed by 4, or a gain of 58 people the last 7 miles. Now that's how I like to finish a race.
After the race it took me awhile to be able to walk because my legs just wanted to cramp. So I went very slow for awhile until they started to return to normal. Loved eating ice cream, chocolate milk, yougart and bread after. I'm all for free food.
I'm sure there were a lot of PR's and great times due to the weather.

First run since the marathon. I would have gone earlier this week but I've had a cold all week and been working 12 hour days. Everything felt pretty good exept for when I finished the easy run both my calves immediatly got a light cramp. It took about a minute for the cramp to release. Guess my legs still need some recovery time from the marathon.

| It was a nice morning for the race. It was cool as you'd expect in late October about 37' and a light wind as is normal for South Jordan. Taunia dropped me off just a little over a half mile from the start and I jogged to the start. Only had to wait about 10 minutes before the start.
I was thinking that this race was way to close to the St. George Marathon but I had a free entrance and it's my home town so I had to run it. After the first mile I felt great. I was hoping that a miracle had occured and I was totally recovered from the marathon. After 4 miles I was in 4th. It was about then that I could tell that my legs weren't as fresh as I'd hoped but still feeling good enough to finish well. I got passed around mile 7 and mile 10 to put me in 6th place. The last mile my legs were getting tired and complaining, but I finished well. I think the course was a bit short this year. they started up a hundred yards closer and the course was no different.
I just looked online and I came in 5th overall out of the 588 finishers. Now I'm doubting my abilitiy to count to 6.

| They changed the course last minute and had us start at Deer Creek Resevior instead of Sundance. Probably better for my old man knees but I didn't get to fly down those first few miles. It was a near perfect morning for late in October. No wind and no clouds.
It was fun seeing all the different costumes before and after the race. I got up near the starting line and got off to a good start. After a mile I was in about 12th place. Shortly after I got chicked by a beautiful pirate. I thought, not so bad If I only get chicked once, however, after a few miles Cruella DeVille passes me like I was standing still and then passes the Pirate. I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't run these Halloween races. They're scarry.
Miles 1-5 6:03, 6:23, 6:53, 6:19, 6:32
I was hoping last weeks SOJO half didn't burn me out and it didn't. I was still feeling pretty good. I slowly started passing people.
Miles 6-10 6:36, 6:44, 6:19, 6:14, 6:13
Around mile 10 I passed a guy that was nice enough to point out that I was old. He asked me my age and when I said 48, he said that's my age. Always nice to know who your age group competition is. Around mile 11 I passed the Pirate. Nice, back down to only getting chicked by one.
Miles 11-13 6:26, 6:24, 6:31
My garmin has recorded the last two half marathons at right around 13 miles even. Don't know if it is the watch or the races.
Just looked at the stats. The women outnumbered the men 2 to 1. No wonder I like this race. There were 506 men and 1,028 women finishers.

I set up a Father & Sons LV Ragnar team and we did a test the equipment 6AM run before the relay next Saturday. We had all 12 of the team but one son that couldn't make it. We also had several of the mom's come. After we had French Toast at my home.
I ran with Caleb the fastest runner on the team. He had to hurry home to get to work.

| Second day of LV Ragnar
Leg 29 at about 4:00AM - Miles 6.77, Time 47:28, Mile avg. - 7:01. I didn't quite have my normal mojo for this relay. I really tried to pushed hard on this last leg and was suprised I couldn't go sub 7 avg.
The team overall did great with 6 sons and 6 fathers. A couple of the fathers hadn't been running and put forth the effort to get in enough shape to be able to jog the distance without walking.
Team time 23:01, 8th place overall out of 461 teams.

| It's been just over a year since the great South Jordan school teacher died while jogging. This was the 2nd race in his honor. There was about 100 runners. The course starts at the Elkridge middle school were he taught for many years and goes around the grass field were he would have the kids run and then out onto the streets and back to the middle school.
I had decided to try and give this race a very good effort, I was going to run my race and run hard no matter what place I was in. When the race started I went out and was in the front pack and after the lap on the grass I was in first with a couple of guys right behind me. After mile one I still had one guy on my tail and I slowly pulled away from him about half way into the run. I ended up winning by about 30 seconds. My watch and a few others that ran all measured about 3.2. I ran it in 20:13 but adusted my time to 3.11 miles.
Dallas, Tanner, & Taunia all ran with Jamie and Amber also.
