Run RF

Ran three miles around Berkeley before heading to the Pyramid Brewery, knee felt off and made me feel better about taking the previous few days off.

Biked for 30 minutes and gave knee some more time.  This week was planned as a down week after the huge jump last week.

Ran to school for a test and back.

Ran City Creek canyon, went well.

Ran to/from the fieldhouse and ended up doing a 6 mile progression around the track.  Felt pretty good and finished with a ~5:50 last mile.

Ran Sugarhouse and Liberty, went reasonably well but feel pretty pooped after.

AM: Volunteered at the Round Valley Roundup then ran 10 miles pretty quick.  THen got some sweet new Pearl Izumi Streak 2's

 PM: Ran to Liberty since it was so nice out.

Was heading out for a run, but felt terrible so cut it off after 3.

AM: Ran BST above the U before working out in the field.  Then ran to and from school.

AM: Ran City Creek Canyon

PM: Ran to school and back then around the aves.

AM: Ran BST above the aves, trail was good except for areas that MBers trashed when it was muddy and two icy patches heading down to terrace hills.

PM: Ran to and from school.

AM: Ran Liberty Park and got in early to help with the last of the install in the field.

 PM: Ran to and from school then ran Liberty and Sugarhouse, saw Jake and Andrea as I was leaving the park.  I was too tired to accept their invitation of 200s on the track, probably would have made my legs fall off.

Ran City Creek, didn't double because I just felt tired after yesterday and decided to save something for the Lope tomorrow.

Warm up and cool down, the CD was with Andrew to bring it over 12.

As for the race, legs just felt tired so just went easy and hit it hard on the hill to the turn around and let it fly down hill the rest of the race.  Splits were a 558, 537 and a 509.  May have lost a few seconds posing for some sweet pics, or not.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Ran to my friends house recapped the previous night and got a much needed shower.

Ran to fieldhouse and did 6, nothing like a week of spring to make you resent the cold even more.

Ran up 2.5 miles in city creek canyon, felt pretty good.  Excited for the cold to be over with!

Ran Sugarhouse & Liberty Parks, felt very tired and working harder than I should have been.  Legs were demolished for the short steep bike ride to school.  Especially odd since I took the previous day off.

AM: Ran BST above the U, felt better but those hills are killer.

First long run in a while, got smacked down pretty hard on the hills.  But stuck with it, shoreline trail is in good shape except where mtn bikers messed up some formerly muddy spots.

AM: Ran in the wind, but the rain was thankfully missing.

PM: Knocked out another 5 at the fieldhouse.

AM: Sugarhouse & Liberty, nice little run little cool at the start but warmed up nicely.

PM: Shorter run from the lab on the shoreline trail.

First time running the shoreline trail from terrace hills to city creek.  Just as steep as I remember it.  Felt a ton better climbing dry creek than I did on saturday.

AM: Ran down to Liberty Park and back before my first track workout in a long time.

 PM: Loops of Sugarhouse with Jake.  Legs will thank me for staying off the track.

AM: First workout in a long time, started with 3.25 mile tempo struggled getting the HR up.  But that's why you do workouts.  Then hill reps all the way up the aves from south temple to top of terrace hills, doing three blocks up then one block over as rest.  Taken from the great Andrew Ledwith.  Then jog back home.

PM: Ran Liberty Park, toughest part was not jumping in the dumpster of the donut shop on 7th east after I got a wonderful whiff of donuts.

Ran with a nice group, Jake, James, Fritz, Allie, Rob and newcomer Adam.  Probably as easy as 16 miles has felt in a long time.  My garmin 220 broke during the run, the start/stop button won't work so it's still on now.
