Started off with an easy 2. Felt very tired after yesterday's two workouts. After warming up, I decided to do 1 on and 1 off at MP. Ran 7:47 for three of these and then ran the last two consecutive miles at 7:30 pace. Glad to have the 10 put down for the day. Now I'm going to eat a lot of good food and enjoy the rest of the day!

Good run outside this morning. Ran south into Farmington for 5 miles and then ran back. Nice new neighborhoods on the west side of Farmington. Miles 8-10 were 7:41, 7:33, and 7:09 with 1/2 mile easy at the end.

TM run. Ran two easy. Then 1 at SMP of 7:47, jogged 1/2, then miles at 7:41, 7:35, 7:24 and 2.5 at 7:13. Jogged 1 and then ran the last mile at 6:31. Everything is feeling good except my right toenail is toast so that makes both of them now. Toenails are for sissies right?

Ran 11 with my good friends Terry, Troy and Rick. Then took my 14 year old son, Nathan, out for 4 miles. Peter is 11 and he joined me for 1. Then Gidget, the dog, went for 2. First time I've ever had two consecutive 70 mile training weeks. Next Saturday is the Striders 10 miler, so I'll probably take it a little easier.

Ran 5.5 on TM this morning after sleeping in like a lazy man. 1 easy and then 4 at 7:30 and .5 at 6:40 pace.

Did another 6.5 at lunchtime outside. Great run. First two at about 8min then 4 at 7:24, 7:01, 7:03, 7:09 with .5 cooldown at the end.

Finish the day with a core workout and a spin class. Not bad.

Two easy miles. Then four miles at 7:47 (SMP) with mile 5 at 4 on the incline.

Then up for a morning of powder skiing. Snowbasin had 11 inches overnight!

Wonderful easy run in the foothills of Ogden on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Windy though. I think trail running is the epitome of joyous aerobic exercise.

Six more easy miles this morning on the road with some strides mixed in. Hoping for a good 10 mile race in the Striders Winter Racing Circuit tomorrow.

Great race on Saturday except for falling in my division from 2nd to 4th. One person joined the circuit after skipping the 5k and 10k and was ripping fast. The person I had previously narrowly beaten, beat me by 8 seconds. We have a close pace. It was funny, because I passed the same person at the same place on the course as I did on the 10k (at the top of a hill). I moved up a few places overall from 24th to 22nd. My miles on this hilly course were as follows:

6:44, 6:25, 6:56, 7:09, 7:46, 7:51, 8:25, 6:38, 6:53 and 6:53

I'm looking forward to the 1/2 Marathon in 3 weeks. Hoping for a 1:29:29, but that would be 6:52 for 13.1 and I'm not sure I'm capable of that...yet. The course is more downhill with rollers so it's a much more favorable profile than the 10M.

Came home and ran a 5k with my son Zac. We haven't run together since he was in 8th grade. He's in 11th grade now. Very fun. I'm really enjoying involving my children in my running addiction!

Six easy miles and two at SMP. Feeling that blocky muscle feeling since the race on Saturday. Going to still get the miles, but take them a little slower this week to recover.

Six easy miles this morning. Dang hard to get out of bed with the time change!

I would have to call my lunchtime run a "Rave" run. Went out for 7 miles on the beautiful foothills of Ogden on the shoreline trail. I needed the break. My wife came up with a great slogan.

"When the going get's tough, the tough go running!"

I'm sure it's been used, but I like to picture these things on shirts in marathons for everyone's entertainment.

Good TM run this morning. Still feeling lethargic in the quads, but hopeful. Ran easy two building up to SMP which I ran at 7:47 for 3 miles. Then ran two at 7:30. Finished with 1/2 at 6:58 pace. I think I'll have to call that my speedwork session for the week. Happy to be healthy!

Ran with my son Nathan for 4.3 easy miles. He had some side ache issues, but did okay. Trying to get him to go out for track this year!

Great TM workout. Ran 2 easy to warmup, then did a pair at SMP of 7:47, 1 recovery, 2@7:30, 1 recovery, 1 each at 7:30, 7:24, 7:19, 7:13 and 6:40 with 1 recovery at the end.

Seven easy miles this morning folled by 3 easy miles tonight with Peter and Nate with me on the TM's. Nathan did 4 miles and Peter did 1.5, but walked quite a bit because he had just eaten dinner and wasn't feeling great. I warned him!

Tomorrow...speedwork!

Good speed workout on the TM this morning. Warmed up for 1 mile, then did the following miles with a 1/4 mile recovery inbetween--7:30, 6:40, 6:40, 6:40, 6:40 recovered for 1/2 mile and then ran 1/2 mile at 6:00. 1 mile recovery at the end. 9 miles altogether.

Nice run outside this morning. Just took it easy, but noticed I was at 8:01 average with 1 mile left so I pushed it on the last mile and got the average down to 7:53. Cold though. Speedwork tomorrow.

Great speedwork session. Did 10X.5 with 1 mile warmup at 8:34 and .25 mile recovery at 8:34. The 1/2 mile repeats were done at the following paces:

6:40, 6:35, 6:31, 6:27, 6:22, 6:18, 6:15, 6:11, 5:56 and 6:49. The 5:56 was just so I could touch the outside of jtshad's world for the first time.

Easy day tomorrow.

Run spin run! I haven't done this for a while because I've been so focused on running miles, but I think I'm going to start mixing in some spin/bike miles as cross training.

Ran with my good friend Troy today. I'm not sure if it's just all the miles I've been running or the spin class I did yesterday, but my muscles felt fairly spent the whole time. With two miles left I decided to get some pace miles in and ran the last two at 6:59 and 7:00. I ended up with an 8:18 average so it was a good long run, but it was a battle from the beginning. So why not take the family skiing now. What the heck...

5.5 miles at easy pace, but increased incline until I'd climbed 500 feet. Then ran .5 miles at 7:47 and the last mile at 6:40.

Just took it easy today for six miles. I have to believe that what I do in the last week before a 1/2 can't help me run faster, but can definately hurt. Tough to believe when you've been working so hard leading up to this point.
