St. George Running Center - Run For Life.

AM - Nice run this morning. A bit cooler than it has been ended up puting on the tights since it was under 40F. However, I had to ditch the long sleeve top about 4 miles into the run because I was too hot.  Nice solid pace most of the run ave 6:47 for the 1st 11 and then shut it down and chugged back up the hill from the river for the last 2.  13 miles.

PM - 2.3 back to the house from the store.

AM- Went out and did an easy 10 this morning.  Turf farm to Stahli Farm corner and back.  Nothing interesting just took it easy. 10.5 total.

PM - We wanted to take the kid over to the PVHS track so I ran over to meet Kendra and kids only to find they were having a soccer game.  So we drove over to the Dixie State Track and did the work out over there with the kids.  On the way home I had Kendra drop me off 3 miles from the house and ran the rest of the way home. 8.5 miles Total.

AM - Good run this morning. Normal conversation - Logan bragged about his precognitive abilities and Dave shared his love for post-apocalyptic drama. The legs felt decent, just a little tightness in the hami. Done for the day. 10.2 miles.

AM - 4 miles this morning.  I wanted to get in 6 but we had to rush over to the PV Track for the Kids meet only to wait an extra hour for the buses to arrive.  Oh well.  It was great watching Issac and Isabel race.  I think they really tried their hardest.

PM - Club Run. I felt like I was living the Wizard of Oz. The wind was blowing so hard as we were heading south I couldn't keep my hair out of my eyes.  Clyde, Cody, Aaron, Bill and Myself.  Nice solid pace, 6:38 average for the 10 miles.

AM - Very slow run.  My hips were really tight this morning. Planning on spending some good time stretching. Truf farm out to Stahli Farm and back.

AM - Club run from the Dixie Center. 14 mile loop. Ran most the way with Richard.  Good conversation, nice steady pace.  We saw Scott and chatted with him as we were going around the Bloomington Loop.  The last two miles we picked up the pace a little for a solid finish.

AM - I was planning on going out and doing my River Rd. loop but saw Dave as I was turning off my street and decided to tag along on his morning trail run - Dino Tracks, up and down Ice House Hill (Got dragged up like a rag doll,  Got dragged down like a rag doll). Then Mustang Pass backwards and back home.  As we started going over Mustang I started getting pretty thirsty, which I thought was strange.  I probably didn't drink enough last night and I hadn't had anything before the run.   It's also is starting to heat up a little.  Overall, a really good run, good chat with Dave, much better than doing my same old Monday morning River Rd. Loop.

AM - Morning Club Track Workout over at Dixie College. I think about 30+ people showed, all abilities. Ted did a great job at getting people set and not over-working everyone for the first workout.  I think it's going to turn out really well and I'm planning on going everyweek.  I think it will really help my strength and leg turnover.  Today we did marathon pace repeats just trying dial us in with our marathon pace. Fast, but relaxed. 4.5 miles total.

Drove home with Kendra and did 10 more out to Stahli Farm around the Turf Farm. Nice Steady Pace 6:50 pace.  My legs were a little tired from doing the stairs at the college. I think these Tues workout are going to increase my overall leg power.

AM - I was planning on getting up and going with the guys, but the alarm didn't go off and I woke up on my own at 5:30am ... so, I just went back to bed. Went out and got in 6 by myself then went out and did 5 more with Kendra. Really nice morning out.  I'm planning of doing a few more tonight.  My quads are a little tired.  I think it's from doing some hills with Dave on Monday and doing stairs with the club yesterday.

 PM - Ran home around the Turf Farm. Quads feeling tight. Nice steady pace. 3.5 miles

PM -10 miles with the club this evening. Clyde, Miler, Logan, Aaron, and myself. Nice steady pace with a little 3 mile tempo at the end.

Sick.

AM - 12AM that is! Met-up with with Dave, Logan and Clyde for Clyde's Annual B-Day Run.  He turned 33 so the goal was to run a mile per year.  We ended up doing the first 13 miles on our tempo loop and 10 miles on our Wed. morning loop.  To be honest the whole run seems like a blur or dream. I cut the run short and did 23 -  I was taking care of my Mother for the night ( she just had surgery) and cut out for the run.  When I got back I wasn't able to sleep much because of needing to care for my Mom and do a full day at the store.  I havn't been that tired in a long time. 

AM - Club track workout at Dixie College 6am.  Did a good warm-up then did 2 sets of 2x 200, 2x400, 1x800 (Speed work was at 5k pace, recovery at marathon pace).  We then did 4 stairs and a cool down.  Pretty happy with the workout. We're planning on doing track from now until the SG Marathon so, do need to get too crazy yet. 

PM - Wanted to get a few more miles in the for the day since Tues. is my short day at The Store.  Ended up going out and getting in a 13+ mile run from the store, to Summit, loop the fields and back to the store.  I think it was one of my hottest runs of the year (87F). I kept thinking about everyone doing Boston in the heat and having to deal with that crazy humidity.  I think I would have seriously had some problems.  13.2 miles.

AM - Didn't get up and run with the guys this morning. I was up late working and decided I needed some good sleep.  Got up late and ran out and back from turf farm to Stahli Farm and back.  Not the fastest run, feeling pretty flat, just got it done. Really happy to be done for the day. I have a massage tonight, I'm hoping to help this hamstring out a little. 10.2 miles.

AM - Ran out to my Mom's via river road and helped her out this morning and back to the house via the fields. Good run, great weather. I did start getting warm and thirsty towards the end of the run. Hips were a little tight and hamstring as well. Other than that I felt great. 17.2 miles

I'm not going to be able to make it to club tonight. It's the last night my Mother-in-law is in town.

Decided not to go out this morning. My legs feel thrashed and I need to rest.

AM - Red Mt. 30k this morning. Drove out with James and was planning on going out slow with Clyde for the first 5 miles and then go tempo for the rest, but that didn't happen. My GPS didn't record my mile splits so I don't have a breakdown. I just remember the first 2 miles being in the low 6's and then by mile 3 or 4 we were in the mid to high 5 min pace range. I was feeling good, except my legs and hips felt thrashed. By the time we hit Gunlock Res. My hips started locking up on me and every step was painful and Clyde started really pulling away. I kept him in my sight for about 3 miles and was just hurting so bad I decided to totally shut it down. I don't think my hips have ever hurt so bad. I was so glad to be done with this run. Kendra was nice enough to run the last mile with me - lucky her - she got an earfull of nagativity.

Ran a little cool down and stretched.

I'm really happy to be done with this week. I'm planning on spending some good time on these hips and get them working properly.

AM - Ran to meet the running club down at the park. Really good group this morning. I ended up mostly running with Lindsey P. this morning. Nice steady slow pace good conversation. My legs and hips still feel thrashed. I'm going to spend more time today working on these hips.

AM - Good track workout this morning with the club. 2 sets of 400, 800, 1200 at 5k+ pace. Felt pretty smooth except for my hips and hamstring.  With warm-up, the workout and cooldown I hit 6 miles.

Went home and headed out for another 12 miles out past Stahli Farm and back home.  By about mile 9 my hips locked up on me again.  It really makes me feel like a little baby, but it just hurts. I just need to spend even more time stretching them out and working with the foam roller.  I also have a massage on Thursday. 12 miles

AM - Feeling pretty hammered I decided not to run with the guys this morning. I spent some extra time stretching last night and this morning.  Ended up spending a little more time sleeping and only went out 6 miles this morning slow, slow, slow.  The crazy thing is I still feel beat-up.

AM - Out and back via turf farm to Dino Bones and back.  Felt decent this morning. Spent a little time stretching and took it easy but steady. Nice morning with a little overcast. 10 miles

 Came home from the Store and spent some quality time with the foam roller.  I was excited for my massage tonight, only to find out it was scheduled for last night and I missed it.  I little miss communication between my wife and I.  Work my hips really well and IT Band.

 PM- Still really nice out.  A little windy but, not out of control.  James B (from up north), Dustin E. Billy, Clyde and Myself showed up for club. Nice steady pace.  My Hamstring was tight at first but didn't notice it after about 2 miles in. I wanted to get in some tempo miles so I picked up the pace a little by Tiki Island and pushed a little to the bathrooms.  After the bathroom stop we took it easy for about a mile then Clyde started pushing the pace for the last 2.5 miles. Ended up hitting the low 5:40's for both pushes (about 4 miles total) and ave 6:20 for the whole run. 9.85 miles

AM - Let's just call it the death march. I woke up to crazy tight hips this morning.  I probably should have spent some more time with the foam roller last night . Out and Back to Dino Park.  Just got it done.  Planning on stretching more tonight.

AM - Met up with the group. Ran with James B. and Clyde. Felt great until about 7 miles in and my hips started acting up again. I wasn't too happy about it. We stopped for a few min for a bathroom break but I couldn't get them to relax. So, I just headed back.  My last two Sat. run haven't been too hot.  I think my hips are weak and just not holding up towards the end of the wee. 12.7 miles

I think I'm going to go back out this PM and get my 80 miles.

PM - Run home from the store this afternoon - extended. 4 miles.

AM - We are out in San Diego until Wed. I was able to role myself out of bed before everyone and get out for a run.  Found a good miler from the hotel up the beach bike path, back down and back to the hotel. Great run, I couldn't believe the humidity. I was soaked after the run and I wasn't even pushing hard.  10 miler.
