R2R2R @ the Grand Canyon with a group of friends - 16 hours(2014) Short-Term Running Goals: Get back in decent running form. Maybe enter a road race in 2017? Long-Term Running Goals: Run a 5k under 18:00 Personal: Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon. I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out. Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe. Favorite Blogs: |

| 1PM Took Griffin to Round Valley for a chill trail run and to visit Lacy at work. It was really hot out and I thought Griffin would be alright if we kept it short, but about 2 miles in he was laggin and of course I didn't have any water. Cooled him off in a stream, then dropped him off at my truack at mile 3.25. Headed out for another quick loop before heading home. My legs felt ok, but I still kept things really slow and just enjoyed the trail. 5.98 in 48:59, avg. 8:11 per mile. 4PM 30 push-ups, planks, side-planks, boat, chair, tree

AM Pretty good run today. Started @ Willow Creek and ran up to the stop light by the McPollin barn, then did 16 x :30 pick-ups on the way back to the office with 1:00 of cool down at easy run pace and cooled down with a run around the gym. I read about this workout in a Running Times and liked the concept. It's supposed to give you good turnover while maintaining a moderate cardio intensity the entire run. The article said to do 200m reps, but I wans't on a track, so opted for 30 seconds. Also, the pace wasn't as fast as I'd like for these short of repeats, but all out speed wasn't the purpose of the workout. Overall a pretty good run. 2.23 warm, 16 x :30 @ 5:40 to 6:00 pace(there were a few hills) w/ 1:00 run recovery, 2.58 cool down Total of 8.19 miles in 1:00:39, avg. 7:25 per mile. PM Ran back to Willow Creek to get my truck. felt really bloated for some reason. 2.50, no watch

AM I guess I'll call these easy miles, even though I feel pretty beat right now. Ran an out & back on the Mid-Mountain trail from Stein Eriksen lodge to Spiro trail head. The trial is singletrack and contours about 8,000 feet. Beautiful scenery and saw a few packs of deer roaming around.
Another reason for the fatigue is this is my 10th day in a row of running and I've accumulated over 100 miles during this time, plus some strength workouts and a decent mountain bike ride.. Not sure I'm ready to do that much mileage in a week yet. : )
14.61 in 2:07:48, avg. 8:45 per mile. 2,565 vertical gain
