PM: 5 miles + core H

Today was one of those days that seems to appear every once in a while. A day where you can't seem to escape work and then come home to another set of chores and problems to solve. It was just one of those days that seemed like I never got to sit down and the run kept getting pushed back until it was late at night and time for bed. But I'm sick of those days impeding my progress.

Ran 5 miles at 11:17pm. Put on some running tights and a headlamp then headed for the streets. Still building mileage and strength so the average pace was 8:41 per mile. Afterwards did Jay Johnson's core H routine, stretched, and now it's off to bed.

Ran today with the fiance. She's been running with me lately and has actually be improving a lot. Kept a pretty steady pace and ran an 8:51 average mile.

Been listening to a lot of Jay Johnson's running podcasts and really love what I've learned so far about running.

Ran around the Provo Airport with Lauren. Averaged an 8:51 mile again. Been feeling really good lately and my legs have been awesome. Glad to see the work pay off. Gonna do some core and stretching later tonight.

8:02 am: Utah Human Race 10K

Ran the Human Race today with Lauren. We ran the first 2 miles with the future mother-in-law and then broke off to run the reset. We averaged an average 9:00 min pace which was good considering we were running 10:50 pace for the first couple of miles.

The course was fun. It was just the Sandy fourth of July race course, but backwards so it was pretty familiar. Can't wait for the rest of the day. Got 2 turkey dinners planned and some football games to watch.

Best holiday ever!

2:04 pm: 5 miles

First day of snow in Utah. Ran around Orem for miles by myself, averaging an 8:04 mile. Not too shabby.

I want to start recording a deeper anaylsis/self reflection of my runs here. I'm trying to come up with some questions I can ask myself both during and after my run. Hoping to create something that will help give me a clear and concise analysis of what I'm doing everyday.

Core and stretching tonight before bed

6:17 pm: 7 miles

Couldn't have asked for a better run. Temperature was below freezing, but to be honest I couldn't tell. Was just able to enjoy my 7 miles around the Best Buy loop. Lungs and legs felt great and have been this entire week. In fact, this is the first week I have ran 30+ miles completely pain free in a long long time. Couldn't be happier. Can't wait to continue building and get stronger.

Did some stretching before bed.
