On the road to BOSTON!

11 1/2 miles in Renton, Washington along the bike path towards Maple Valley- Nice and cool run along the river- 8:10 pace

4 miles of ugly running- legs were so heavy from yesterdays run-

5 miles running at 6am 8:08 pace

Had something to eat, read the paper and then on the bike for 15 miles at an easy pace 16.5mph

4 1/2 miles @ 8:24 pace early around Bloomington-

24 Mile bike @ 17mph

same 4 1/2 mile run @ 7:52 pace

Temps were so nice this morning I just kept going out

20 mile bike at 17.5mph

Same course as yesterday 20.30 mile- pushed it pretty good after the first mile- 18.4 mph for the ride

24 on the bike- found that my tires have been under inflated for the past few weeks. Had to get a flat tire to realize this.

Started the morning off running the SGM course from Baker to the church- 19.35 miles

Splits: 7:45/ 7:01/ 7:04/ 9:46 up Veyo hill- included a lot of walking/ 8:17/ 8:09/ 8:42/ 8:07/ 7:32/ 8:03/ 6:51/ 7:05/ 7:46/ 8:44/ 7:46/ 7:30/ 7:28/ 7:19/ 6:52 average pace was 7:48 Still have some issues with my right foot hurting- neuromas

The first 13 miles felt pretty good and then I was wasted for the last part of the run- Good to get some mileage in after a month or so without much running.

Got home showered and then decided to ride the bike into town for the parade then back home 13 miles. Felt good to spin the legs-

20 miles biking Trying to recover from Saturday's run- pounded me pretty good and the quads are very sore

24 miles biking to the airport and back- pushed it a bit coming home for a 19.8 mph average- Legs are still sore from the Saturday run

4 miles running in Bloomington- painful and slow (8:24)

Legs feeling much better than yesterday but not all the way back yet- 8:27 pace

100 mile bike from Cedar City to Enterprise to Bloomington- 17.5 mph average- head wind for 25 miles when I finally got to some good downhill, really slowed me down but all in all a good ride

Ran over to Bloomington Hills Park and back- Ran into Clyde and run a little bit with him- thanks for slowing down for a few minutes. Body feels great after the century bike on Saturday. Just need to figure out the right foot neuromas problem and all will be good-  8:11 pace

PM 5.25 miles around Bloomington trail to I-15 to the Pilot Station back home. 91 degrees but not too bad, very dry- 8:20 pace

15 mile bike

Ran over to Bloomington Park by way of Man O War/ Pilot and back 8:30 pace

15 mile bike-

19 mile bike before the sun came out and then 3 miles running- It was very hot and muggy this morning, hard to get motivated to run- 8:30 pace

Early morning run from the wall through Gunlock to Ivins with the club: I took off as soon as the shuttle dropped us off wanting to just get on with the run because it was hot already and very muggy. Didn't look at the Garmin at all, just went with what felt good to the body.At mile 12.35 Bill passed me and Mike passed at about 13.25. That was when I was worn out and just hanging on- took some walk breaks because the feet were sore. Ended up with a 7:43 average pace with only 2 miles in the 8's. Overall I felt good based on the effort and prior training. If I can figure out how to make it through 26 miles without feet issues I feel like I can pull off a 7:45 for the marathon. My legs feel great and I could go out right now for more mileage but the feet can't take any more.

AM---Over to the Bloomington Hills Park and back 8:29 pace. Crossed paths with the wildbull towards the end!

PM--- 5 1/2 miles around Bloomington @ 7:55 pace. Legs feel better than this morning, calves a little tired. Overall a good start to the week-

Ran over Tonaquint Drive past MickyDees over to the trails to home- Medium muggy this morning and cooler than that last few mornings- 8:36 pace.

Late morning: 18 mile bike at 18mph average on the trails

8 uninspired miles up Man o War to Bloomington Hills park and back 8:40 pace, running on empty!

12 mile bike in the wind- felt very hot for late morning
