Run RF

Quads feeling tired, did my secret trail run along the 18 mile creek.

Legs were not feeling great, so took the day before off.  This was the first run back where I felt almost normal.  After the run there was a sore tendon on my quad but that's about it.

Legs were still feeling good, a little tired by the end but starting to feel like a runner again.

Southcreek loop, legs felt ok.  Back to SLC tomorrow, going be a rough adjustment to altitude.

Last day in Buffalo, so I bought some new running shoes and went to Chestnut Ridge to get in my run.  It's a great park with a ton of hills and has the distinction of being the largest county park in the USA.  

I should change my treadmill routine to include this.  Then I could probably last more than 30 minutes.

Met Collin up on campus, when asked trails or roads I chose roads due to my absence from altitude.  Felt pretty good, nice day out for a run if a little overcast.  Legs held up pretty well so perhaps I can get back into this training thing soon.

Ran with Collin up on the Shoreline towards N SLC, felt surprisingly good though the loooong downhill was a bit taxing.

Easy run around City Creek, feeling the altitude a bit more.

Nice run with Jon Kotter, Jake and Adam H. Altitude left me a little gassed at the end.

Run with Nate Krah, Rob and Jake. Better known as the Sunday Morning Heathens.  Beautiful day out, a couple of the hills on our Tanner Park death loop took a bit out of me with the altitude.  Plan for this week is to build towards 60-70 miles this week throw some strides in and Running with Ed relay on Saturday.  

Boo Yah!

Seven days in a row meant it was time to take a day off.  Then up BST through Dry Creek, ripped me apart pretty good. Heat + altitude = tired Kevin.  Found this article yesterday, some pretty solid workouts that don't need a gym.

7 Minute workout

Nice run up City Creek Canyon with Jake.  Probably one of the fastest times on the loop, helps when you run with a 2:20 marathoner.

Ran to Sugarhouse and Liberty parks out around 5, perfect weather out.  Felt really good to boot, after Running with Ed I will finally add in some quality sessions again.

Nice FLAT run with Jake. Hung around their place for a bit before I head to Star Trek, thank science.

Not the best day for a relay race, but you just gotta make do.Ran with Fernando Ramirez, Karl Siebach and Carlos Trujillo (2:14 guy(!)).  We started in the last time and it looked like our competition would be the Olympic Nordic ski team.  I ran the 1 (2.9), 5 (3.8), and 9 (6) legs which got progressively longer.  Had to pick up the third leg since we were down a runner.  Altitude took a bit to get used to, but the last two legs went great.  Feeling a little more confident about running UV half in a few weeks.

Legs were a bit beat up bu the weekend so took a two days off.  Nice run on BST above the U, saw a whole mess of people waiting in line for a Red Butte concert.

5.7 Ran after dropping my car off, felt really fatigued so I cut it short. Will probably attempt more when I get my car back.

2.4 Ran back to the auto place, felt better than the morning.  Nice driving a car with new brakes and tires.

Under 40 this morning so I decided to wait until later to run.  Felt better than yesterday but still dragging a little bit.

Loops of Liberty with Jake and James before jamming out to Boulder.

Bolder Boulder course preview run.

Easy run out at the Boulder Res, first few miles with some of Brad Hudson's guys then four striders at the end.

Nice day for a race, wasn't planning on going too hard and the legs agreed. My left quad was getting fatigued up the hills around miles 3-4 so I eased back, cardio wise I felt pretty good. Only got chicked thrice, hopefully once I get back into training it will come back quick.

Seacrest out!

5 in Boulder before I left

5 starting at Jeremey Ranch Road, was going to do the dirt road but that proved impossible so I went back towards Kimball Junction.

City Creek Canyon, after sleeping half the day recovering from my Boulder trip I got out the door and ran pretty well.  I averaged about 7 minute pace with 1000 feet of elevation thrown in.

Well just got back from Boulder and got roped into heading to Bend tomorrow.  I wanted to stretch out the legs today and see what they had.  After one of my faster first miles up Virginia, I started it up.  Miles were 5:53, 5:31, 5:28 and 5:08 1 and 3 were more or less flat while the 2 and 4 had some good drop.  It feels good to see that I haven't lost everything from my Boston training, but there's still a ways to go before I'm back in the saddle.

Easy 6 around the aves before heading up to Bend, OR for the weekend.
