9.5 mile run home from the store tonight. Pretty tired, I think it had to do with my lack of food today.

It's so nice out in the mornings right now. Easy 7.5 to the store.

Decided not to run my evening run - it was kinda weird my heart actually felt fatigued so I came home and slept for a little while (I never take naps). I'm not sure if it's from stress or just fatigue - possibly both.  I have felt like this before however while increasing my conditioning.

Another great run with the the guys Dave, Bill and my imaginary pacer Frank. Met at the store and went up the SG Marathon course to Brookside.  Took the first 10 easy then picked it up the second half. Dropped it down to a 6 min average for the last ten.  I can tell my strength and speed are really starting to come back.  I need to work on leg turn over however. It will come with time. Dave was rockin it considering he just got done being sick with pneumonia. I'm excited to see how he will perform at the SL Marathon.

I don't know what was going on with my heart last night but I felt great after getting warmed-up this morning.

Ran with Clyde this morning.  Went from my house over to the Ford Dealership and back.  Good morning run.

I was planning on going out with the club but I had an employee not show and didn't get out once I got home in the evening.

Met with the guys out at the race start to run the course for a warm-up at about 7am. Nice warm-up.

8am - The race went well. Not a quick 10k however.  I was hoping to keep it under 6 min pace - but considering the course, and the 6.5 mile warm-up I'm happy with the way I felt.

I was mostly happy with the way I felt after the race during our 6.5 mile cool-down no tightness, or fatigue except for being thirsty and carrying my cup for 3 miles before finding some water.

Overall, I think I'm making some improvements.

HOLY HOT HOT HOT! I Feel like a lobster. I ran my 9.6 route to the store today at 2pm and thought I was being grilled on the asphalt.  It must have been 90F.  I couldn't believe it. I finally made it to the store. Nice steady pace. I must have drank up the whole water cooler once I got to the store.

The run home was a little cooler - the down hill back to the house helped a little.  A little faster on the way back.  Still pretty hot however. Glad to be done for the day. Tomorrow and Wed. are supposed to be cooler. 9.5 (cut the tangents).

Ran with the group this morning ( Dawson, Stacy, Natalie and Myself) at the SCHS track.  Did 800's with them. Nice steady pace - a little slower on the cooldowns. Did not have the Garmin but I think it was around 5 miles total.

Great run with Ken Carlson this morning. Met at the store and drove up the SGMarathon Course 15 miles. Little cold at first so I bundled up - but it got warm pretty quick as we got going.  By the end of the run I must have looked pretty fun with my tights on, shirt off and my two tops wrapped around my waist.

Anyways, here are the splits below:

1. 6:59

2. 6:51 - going up out of Dammeron Valley miles 2-4

3. 6:46

4. 6:40  

5. 6:15 -heading into Diamond Valley

6. 6:05

7. 5:48 - Going around the volcano to the north SC entrance.

8. 5:57 - Water stop

9. 5:46

10. 6:04 - half of winchester hill

11. 6:03 - other half of winchester hill and a stop to put a stick in my shoe

12. 5:32  

13. 5:34 - Ken and I taking turns leading - nice strong pace - really felt great. 

14. 5:40 -  

15. 5:50 - At the end my legs started tightening up a little and Ken dropped me and a 5:18 the last mile.

Really happy about my performance this morning. I'm mostly happy about my leg turnover for those two mile at 5:30 pace. At the time it felt pretty smooth. I'm looking forward to my 5 mile tempo on Sat. 

 Evening Club run 7 mile loop. Pretty tired - very slow.

Slow run today. Not much to talk about. Ran the 7.5 miles to the store - did a few things at the store - then ran home via my 9.5 mile route back to the house.

Ran to the store. 7.5 - I had kind of a bad attitude during my run this morning. Thinking this training better pay off. This is the most running I think I've ever done. Even back when I was pretty quick. I guess I just need to be patient.

Group Run tonight from the store. Dustin showed up a little early and we did 2 miles before everyone showed up. Easy pace for the first three then started my tempo/ mile repeats/speed workout. It was kinda of a Hodge-podg speed workout due to a traffic light and a huge steep hill I had no desire to race-up.

Here it is:

5:32 - 1st mile

5:33 - Got stuck at the traffic light 1.75 miles into the tempo. Continued after the light turned green with crazy speed man Aaron.

5:44 - .5 on gravel

5:37 - Pretty spent by the end of this mile. I was going to do 5 miles of speed, but oh well.

Nice steady pace back to the store. Extended another mile when we got to the store to make the run 13.1

Great run today with Bill, Dustin, Ken and Sasha. 20 mile Kayenta loop from the store.   I had a hard time getting going at first, but finally started rolling. First half pretty easy then started pushing the pace coming out of Kayenta.  I wish i would have had my Garmin but, once again it wasn't charged.

After we started pushing for about the pace with Ken and Sasha for about 4 miles my right ham started acting up a little. I think I was still feeling some of the backlash from my Thurs tempo workout.

Really happy with the run. I just wish I wouldn't have had the leg issue. Looking forward to the Hurricane Half next week.
