Easy 5 around town.  Feeling pretty good - just hoping to coast to my 60 mile goal for the week. Tomorrow we have 13 planned out by Sand Hallow.

View my entire workout including heart rate, pace and map here!

Great run with the club this morning.  Dave Holt, Dustin Ence, Clyde Behunin, Bill Campbell and myself. Started at the old Brentwood Bowling Alley and circled around the Sand Hallow Reservior/ State Park.

Pace was steady and easy the first half then got picked up the last half on the downhill back to the Bowling Alley. Dave H. stopped at the Park entrance to meet his family for a day in the sun while we all hammered ourselves back to the cars. Clyde took on the role as the rabbit while we all chased him down the hill. Steve O. was also looking pretty strong and gained a good 200M on me.

I'm starting to feel a little stronger, however I think I was slightly feeling the effects of increasing my miles this week.  Looking forward to another week of 60-65 miles and continuing to build a more solid mileage base.

Morning Track Work ( 10X400) with Dave, Dustin, James and Damon.  Crazy wind the whole time however the times were faster than last week.  I ended up having a bathroom break at #6 so I ended up missing a few intervals. I think Dave and Dustin did around 15.

Overall I was really happy with the workout starting to feel a little stronger each week.

New low for weight 160.5 lb!

7 easy miles over in the Desert Reserve this morning.

Met with the group this evening and ran from the store. 7 miles via Desert Reserve over by the Golf Course and back to the store on the Diagonal. Picked it up a little by the Diagonal and up and over to Snow Canyon Prkwy. Hit 5:15 for a while on some of the Down hill trying to catch Dave (it didn't work). Good quick run.

Morning track work with the Tues.  morning group - Mike, Michael, Carl, Josh, Stacy, Shirley, Rich and Myself. Took it pretty easy just about Marathon Pace 5:50-6:00 pace for 3x800.

Tonight I'm getting in another 7 helping Kendra with her speed W/O @ DSC.

Went with Kendra and helped her with her speed work out at the College. 3x800 @ 7:24-:32 pace.  I was able to get in a couple solid miles in at 6:15-6:30 pace. Most of the run for me was between 7:30 and 8:00.

Run with the club at 7pm with 104 F heat.  Not a very good run.  Took it easy to conserve energy for the 10K on Fri.

Great race this morning! Started at 7am up the canyon in Cedar City with nice temps. Dave H, Steve O, Dustin, Bill, Ruth, and I all had "new PRs".  I didn't feel as good as I thought I would this morning. My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest at one point.  I think I need to work more with Tempo's and also mentally challenging myself while having my heart rate high.

Went out this morning for a easy 3.25. Legs still recovering a little from Fri & Sat.'s runs.  Planning on getting out tonight for 7 more.

Ran at about 8pm with Bill in the Desert Reserve.  Easy run.

Went over and did track work with the Tues morning group.  Not too many people there due to the Tri on Sat. However, Steve O., Bill, and Nichole showed for the first time - I think it Nichole is just starting to do speed.  Carl and Mike were also there doing 800's. I wasn't paying too much attention to how many repeats we did - I think we did 8 x 400's at about 6:15-6:20 pace.

Planning on 7 more tonight with Kendra at the Dixie College Track.

On the way over to the DSC Track we saw WildBull and gave him a ride over to the track. We ended up running about 5 miles on the track with 1.5 on the road back to the art city building . Kendra ran 3x800, 3:46, 3:37, 3:36. Here fasted 800 workout yet!

Met this morning at the PVHS Track. Ended up not doing speed, which I think was a good thing this morning. Went from the HS over to DSC to see if Bill could find his compression sleeve he left there last night - no luck. Good morning run.

Easy morning run out in the Reserve.  Stared at 8am and I think it was already in the high 90's F. I Saw about 4 million lizards.  The whole ran was kinda lame, feeling sluggish.

Ditto the run above, and ran with WildBull.

Ran out of time this morning. Now that Kendra's running more it's a little more difficult to balance schedules. 3.5 Easy.

Went out another easy 5 this evening.

Ran from the store to Snow Cayon Prkwy, up Snow Canyon State Park to RT 18 and back down to the store.  I started off pretty dehydrated and had some serious issues until we got to the top of the park and drank some water and sports drink. Bill was nice enough to wait for me at the top.  Finally started to feel better on the way back down to the store.

Over all I'm really happy about the week. I can't remember the last time I put in a 70 mile week.  It's probably been 7 years.

Very Easy 7 - Desert Reserve.

7 on the treadmill evening @ 6pm.  I decided I needed to start doing my workouts earlier.  I have found that if I wait for it to get cooler and do my evening workout outside I'm not able to get to sleep until 12 or 1am at night. . 2 Miles Tempo @ 5:45 pace

 

Here is my plan for the week:

Mon: 14 miles - 3-4 Tempo on Evening Run.

Tues: 14 miles - 3-4 miles at Marathon pace

Wed: 10 miles - 4 x 1mile repeats on track

Thurs: 14 miles - Evening Run A little faster.

Friday: 10 miles Easy

Sat: 15 mile long Run

Overall Mileage Goal: 75-77 miles

Desert reserve morning run - 7 miles easy.

This evening we met at the St. George Acceleration Ctr. for a lecture on nutrition and training.  We ended up leaving early to get our run in. 8 miles - Bloomington Loop.  After about  2 miles in we picked the pace up a little but, after about 3 miles my Burrito from lunch started trying to get out of my system (if you know what I mean).  So, I pulled off the trail while Clyde watched for people - and I took care of business. After that I felt much better and we just cruised back to the cars.

Great run this morning with Bill, Dave and Steve O. Ran from the Veyo Store down to the running store. Took a while to warm up but once we started going I felt great.  Dave decided he wanted to drop 3 miles at 5:20-5:30 pace and stupid me tried to keep up.  I think it really effected my run the rest of the way.  I've noticed I don't handle speed changes very well in the middle of a long run.  Overall I was really happy with the run and I'm noticing improvements.
