On the road to BOSTON!

Who put the cement in my running shoes?! The quads are a bit sore from the run on Saturday. I took it easy this morning warming up with a fast pace walk then ran. My pace was not too bad considering everything (8:20)

I then topped things off with a 8.40 mile bike ride (2.80)

Went to the Doc and found I have some viral infection in my head and it has gone down into my urinary tract, it means I need to pee about every 1/2 mile or so when running......I hate it!

Ran to the Dixie Center then extended to River Road and over to Bloomington Hills trail and back home. 8:09 pace. Shoes felt pretty good, left foot felt sloppy in the toes, may need to go with thicker socks next time.

Quads are felling about 90% now, Hams were sore this morning when pushing up any hills or when I really pressed the pass hard. Still healing from the DownHill Dash. I am now on meds for the Viral infection, up all night,  every 45 minutes to pee. I have got to break this thing it really messes up the running.

1:15 went out for a bike ride. SunRiver loop 18.50 miles (6.20) 15mph average speed

Non run day.

Went out at 12:30 this afternoon and road the asme route as yesterday. 18.40 miles. Pushed it harder today because it was hot and I wanted to get it done. There was a fair amount of headwind most of the time so that slowed me down some. I ended up with 15.9mph, much faster than yesterday. Felt good!

Planning on a long run in the early morning down the course.

Got up early and got my long run in on the SGM course. I love running in the early morning there! I started at Diamond Valley and ran 4 miles towards Dammeron then turned back and ran down the course to the finish line. I felt great about everything through about 17 miles. I started to get un motivated and tired at that point. I did not use gu or anything this morning, I ran on water. The last mile in to the finish felt pretty strong. I ended up running a 7:51 pace for the run. Not fast by any means but that would be wonderful for me come the marathon. I never pushed anything very strong, just went with the body and tried to take it easy. I was determined to not walk up any hills this morning and made that goal!

Now I just want to stay healthy for the next month!

10:30am Just completed a 18.90 mile bike ride to the Running Center and back. 15.3mph (6.30)

Just noticed that I hit 1500 miles for the year. I would have never thought I would put those kind of miles on.........my thinking before last year was. why run when you can drive your car! LOL

Biked to get the legs loosened up. 13.12 miles 14.2 mph  (4.20)

Ran the Trails 5k this morning....HUMID! The race was .25 miles long so that messed up my time big time. (7:16 pace) Won 3rd place in the Sprint Series and age group.

Got home and decided I wasn't done running, ran the Tonaquint/Dixie Center loop (7:54 average pace) This run was good for me after not pushing the race as fast as I know I could.

Tacked on a 5 miles bike ride. (1.25)

Watching BYU on TV and working the stationary bike. 32 miles (10.00)

BYU over Oklahoma !!!!!
