Took the dogs to the Salem Hills track with the great intent of getting the dogs some exercise and doing a very easy recover run after yesterdays 20 miler.  Note to self:  The track is not a good place for a recovery run.  7:34, 7:17, 7:06, 6:54, overall average 7:13. 

The weird thing is that I didn't feel like I was pushing too hard the entire time and my breathing was very controlled.  Hopefully this means I'm getting in better shape.

20 minutes weights and 9 treadmill miles @ 7:24 overall AP.

PM:  easy 2 mile shake out with the pup.  Wasn't planning on running but it is just such a nice night out I couldn't resist being outside.

10 miles outside around Payson farm land and Santaquin orchards, mostly flat, no music, nice morning.  My legs felt pretty heavy and I was tired when I finished.  I think I definitely ran way too fast for a recovery run 7:39 AP.  I need to work on making easy recovery runs easier.

Anyone in Utah county interested in joining me for medium LR (10-12 miles) every Tuesday morning?

AM:  Today was suppose to be a track workout but since I have ran fast all week and it was pitch black when I woke up I decided to make it an easy day. 

Went to the gym and did 30 minutes weights (triceps, biceps, shoulders) and then an easy 6 miles on the treadmill.  I may hit the track tonight for a little speedwork, we shall see what the evening brings.

10 miles with the amazing Susan and then 4 miles with my sister afterwards.  Overall pace was slower (8:45ish?) but the conversation was great and it was a fun morning running with great friends!

Race: Dash For Donation 5k (3.25 Miles) 00:21:45, Place overall: 2

Today was the annual Dash For Donation 5k that my family runs in honor of my brother Trevor who passed away in 2009.  Trevor was an organ donor and my entire family and a few friends ran in honor of him.

I woke up early and ran 4.5 miles before the race.  I knew I wanted to get extra miles in and with all of my family being there and me being team captain I knew I wouldn't get them in at the race.

Got to the race and had no time to warm up as I had expected.  I wasn't planning to "race" this but once the gun went off I just kind of went for it and enjoyed every second of it.  The race was in Sugar House park so it was pretty hilly but I ran consistantly and had a great time.

Mile 1:  6:39

Mile 2:  6:48

Mile 3:  6:38

The course was long .25: 6:41

Overall time 21:45 with a 6:41 average pace.  I think that on a flat, 3.1 course without dodging walkers I am getting alot closer to a sub-20.  My time at 3.1 was 20:45!  Regardless for not planning to race I think I did really well.

Ran back afterwards and ran my Mom in!  Her very first 5k with all the hills in 36 minutes.  It was so exciting to see many friends and family accomplish their first race and all for such a great cause.
