St. George Running Center - Run For Life.

PM - Went out mid afternoon -  Ran from the house up to to the Dyno Park and back. Nice steady pace. 6:45 ave.  Pretty tired after - I think I'm not used to the sun yet.  I had a bit of a burn after the run.

AM - Track workout with the club 12 x 200m. Arrived a little early to get in a longer warm-up.  Still felt a bit warn from being out in the sun yesterday afternoon. Still had a great workout. Good sized group. 8 miles total.

PM- PVHS Track meet - ran the open mile. I don't think I've been that nervous about a race in a long while. I'm not normally selfconscious but I felt a bit intimidated - all the people in the stands watching and knowing I was going to get worked like a dog. Anyways the race started off a bit fast (for me) - I think I went thought the first quarter at 67 (that was holts time and after looking at the vid I was a couple few sec back at that point). I had no idea how to pace myself - I just tried to hold on. it's been forever since I've done miles. By the time we came around the first corner of the 3 rd lap I knew it wasn't going to be pretty. I could feel myself start to lose form a bit and just tried to muscle through it. By the time I hit he 4th lap my lungs were burning and my legs were just not moving very quickly as we came around the last corner some HS kids sprinted past me - I just pumped my arms and hoped the finish line would come quickly. - 5:06 - pretty happy with the time with considering I ran track this morning. 4.75 miles total

AM - 5 miles easy.  The calves are feeling it from yesterday's speed and 1 mile race. 

PM - 5 mile afternoon run.  Still taking it easy - a bit quicker than this morning - But nothing exciting.

AM - Morning Tempo with the club.  Decided to push a little more this morning since I wasn't going to be able to get out with Aaron tonight.  Ended up getting a stomach bug and had to go home from the store early. Ended up sleeping most the afternoon - stabbing pain most of the day.

The tempo was OK 5:49 for 5 miles.  8.75 total.

No Run - woke up and my stomach was still jabbing.  Felt a bit nauseous and decided to give it a day.

AM - Wanted to get up and get it done early.  Decided to go earlier than the running club.  Got up at 4:45am and went out with Logan and got 21 in.  Nice easy pace - nice chatting it up.  Towards the end of the run my stomach started acting up again - got a drink at little valley park and immediatly started barfing it up. First on the concrete then in the flower bed.  I can't remember the last time I let it fly like that during a run.  I think I still have the bug in me.  However, after I barfed I felt pretty good and we finished up the last 1.5+ miles back to DCHS. It was nice to be done by 8am.

Didn't quite hit the miles I wanted to this week with getting sick. I'm happy I had some good speed workouts and did the 1 mile race at the HS.  I think it ended up still being a good building week and happy I was able to get the 20+ miles in today.  Next week I would like to go for 80+ miles and do a longer tempo run. 9 weeks left to UV.
