Run RF

Snow/rain outside means I'm running inside, ran to the fieldhouse, around the fieldhouse and back home.  Total for the last 7 days is 100.7 (I start my weeks on Monday) first week over a hundo this year!

AM: Ran up City Creek, already missing those warm temperatures.

PM: Liberty Park, was going to run at the fieldhouse after class but forgot my ID.

AM: Ran by the capitol before a workout tonight.

PM: Track workout! Dun dun dun!  First time on the track in almost a year and up was 2 by 5k at tempo pace.  Started out a little faster that I thought was good (was shooting for 540-545) but ended up pretty much holding the pace.  Like previous hard efforts it's the legs that have to catch up to my cardio shape.  Has the track shins for the first 5k, but mostly went away for the second.  800 jog between intervals, and ran with Jake, Andrea and ACorn.

17:18 - 529, 532, 536

17:24 - 533, 535, 533 (Had Andrea do several of her 200s with me the last mile which helped to keep me focused.)

All in all very successful first workout and gives me some hope for throwing down a fast half back in Buffalo in May.

AM: 10.8 through Sugarhouse and Liberty parks, feeling surprisingly good after yesterday's workout.  Though I did wake up a few times during the night with sore legs.

PM: 7.6 ran by the ran by the capitol, has to stop by the lab to let some undergrads in.  Legs feel tired, but one more day till an involuntary easy day as I travel to Florida.

AM: 11.6 Colder than I thought it would be so looped back to the house after a mile to grab some gloves.  Then started my fartlek workout down 3rd ave to the capitol, tough interval climbing capitol hill, then 2 miles up city creek and then back home on 11th.  Got in 20 intervals, meaning about 4-5 miles of hard running.  One more easy run tonight then Florida!

PM: 5.8 Down to Liberty Park and back, dodging cars the whole time.  70 miles in 4 days is my best not counting my 100 miles 100 beers week (125 miles 150 beers for those who wondered).

Ran 7 miles as warmup, race and 5 miles cool down.

Race was nothing special, one kid went out like a bat out of hell.  Reeled him back in and caught him right before the turnaround.  Chatted up some bystanders to mess with his head and cruised to a win.  I won a 3 month membership to the Gold's Gym in Sarasota, FL guess I'll just have to stay down here.

AM: 10 miles in the morning.

PM: 5 miles in the evening

Got to 100 miles for the week, possibly the first time of back to back 100 milers.  Now I can enjoy the rest of vacation.

Easy 5 on the beach

easy 6 on the beach

Ran city creek, felt better then usual.  Got the Garmin back!

Ran on the Jordan River Trail with one of my college buddies.  Went reasonably well, back to the grind tomorrow.

Up to class and back

Still getting used to altitude again, had to let my adviser into his office again so just did the rest of the run from there, hit Sugarhouse and Liberty parks on the way home.  Was propositioned to race by a lady at the light by the stadium, politely declined.

City Creek Canyon, moved real quick starting from the top of the canyon home.  Got some speed on those downhills, last .3 was at 5:30 pace! Felt really easy.

Ran down to meet James to keep him company the last 8 miles of the marathon.  He was cruising so I just blabbered on to take his mind off the race.  Felt great and only got tired climbing back home.  Gorgeous day and everyone I know ran great!

Ran up on the BST above the Aves, and boy was it hot!  Didn't realize how warm it would be until I finished the climb up dry creek, but stopped at city creek for a drink.  Feeling good, ready for a good week of training.

AM: Not used to heat, but knocked out 10 on the BST above the U.

PM: Ran around the aves after class, very nice out.

Down to the fountain at Liberty, then 6 mile tempo in Liberty then jog home.  Was hoping for 5 laps (7.25) but starting going downhill fast that last mile and the left quad was pretty sore for some reason.

557, 554, 551, 547, 557, 605

AM: City Creek, very nice out.  Perfect weather for me, legs were still a little sore from yesterdays workout.

Ran through Liberty Park to SLRC to pick up my shirt for tomorrow then over to Sugarhouse and back through campus.  Big news is Motocross is all set up in Rice-Eccles Stadium!

Did the full BST from Emigration to City Creek, wonderful day for a run. 

BTW Strava.com is having a 10,000 ft. climb contest on their website for the month of May, considering all my garmin tracked runs usually come in at 1000-2000 feet/run should be a pretty easy contest for SLC runners to dominate.

City Creek Canyon, apparently the little house right at the gate got torn down.

 Up to campus and took my final final ever then pranced home.
