| Did my Monday treadmill tempo workout. It was my best yet since I've been doing treadmill workouts. As always, my times probably aren't equivalent to running on the road, but compared to myself it was an improvement to be happy about. 9.51 miles in 1 hour. 0.5 mile cooldown. My neighbor started chatting with me for about 10 minutes toward the end, so that increased the difficulty. :) |

| 5.5 miles in 41:00. Felt really good once I got going. It's fun to see how a run that used to be really difficult now is enjoyable. |

| Ran a little loop around my neighborhood just so I could say I ran. It got too late after visiting family to find out where my bro is going on his mission: Ukraine! |

| Did my weekly hill workout on the treadmill. 7:00 pace. 10 miles total running, 8.6 of it as hills. I was able to run the first 3.5 miles at Level 7, but then I was dead and moved it down to Level 1. My legs felt heavy today. The treadmill also gave me a harder than normal random hill workout. Well, 27 miles so far this week. Hopefully I can still get it up to 60. We'll see. |

| I was getting ready to go running this afternoon, and my little girl overheard it. She insisted on going with me. So we went out, and I was thinking it would be a two mile run. We got out a mile, and I asked "more running?" She immediately said, "yah," so we kept going. When we were 3 miles away from home, she said, "Home. Mommy." So we turned around. After about a quarter mile she wanted to get out and play in a puddle, so I let her. And she wanted to play in the snow, so I let her. Then she didn't want to get back in, so I had to bribe her with candy. Then she was happy the rest of the way because I let her hold a snowball, which of course she decided to munch on. It was 6 miles of running at 8:31 pace. |

| Went out to Antelope Island for a training run with some people who are doing the race. I started out feeling pretty good but then totally tanked the last 6 miles. I averaged 9:30 miles for the 19 miles. I just wasn't feeling strong at all and wanted to walk a few times. I'm really glad to have run out there because now I have a more realistic expectation on what kind of pace I can run on that surface. I was thinking I could do a little faster today than I did. So that's good information to have. The island is absolutely gorgeous, and the weather was beautiful this morning. 52 miles for the week. Not as many as I planned, but oh well. Other things to do. |

| I ran up to the Dimple Dell wood-chip trail and did a loop. I was in a great rhythm. My body carried me along, even up the hills, without my having to force it. I feel like a whole different person than I did on Saturday. The weather was beautiful, too, a nice bonus. 11.1 miles at 7:36 average. |

| 8 miles in an hour on the treadmill. Can't seem to figure out what to run a couple days before a 5K. I'm doing the Rex Lee Run at BYU on Saturday. |

| This was my first 5K in a long time. I think the last one was the Rex Lee Run about 5 years ago. I wasn't feeling great this morning, but the race went fairly well. The first mile was in 6:13, the second mile about 5:55 (downhill), and the third mile about 6:30. Overall pace was 6:10. I finished a little faster. It was hard to get myself in a good rhythm during the race. When someone would pass me, I could follow their rhythm for awhile, but I couldn't keep it. I think I need to do more speedwork. |

| I did a hill workout on the treadmill. 5 miles on Level 8 at 7:00 pace. I felt really strong tonight. It must be the rest I've been getting the past few days. I haven't been tapering on purpose for my big race next week. I've just been busy. But I think the lower mileage is helping me get fresh for the race. |

Late night run on (where else?) the treadmill. 5.25 miles in 34 minutes. Ran the first 5 miles in 31:51. Only 25 miles this week. I was busy and not super motivated. But fortunately, it's sort of a taper week, so it's all good. One week till my race.

| I ran around a little vacant lot next to our development a few times. It has a bunch of trees and some little trails. It was nice to be in the cool air and to be on trails. It was also nice to just run for 30 minutes. |

| 1 mile loop. I've been doing this a lot on Tuesday because they get really busy. But at least I got myself out the door. That's a victory in itself for me. |

| Nice run on the treadmill. 6.2 miles in 45:03. Felt really good and had a hard time holding myself back. Let's hope that energy can be used in my race on Saturday. |

| 2 miles locally. Went on the little trail in the empty lot. Tomorrow I'm running the Buffalo Run 50 miler on Antelope Island. This is my first ultramarathon. So hopefully this won't be my last blog post. My goal is to run really relaxed for the first 19 hilly miles to get a feel for the race. The next 22.5 miles are pretty flat, so I'll see if I can pick up the pace at all there. And then I'll just try to run the last 8.5 miles without dying. My dad and my mother-in-law are both worried I'm going to die. Seriously. So I'll try to prove them wrong. But if not, I can't think of a more enjoyable way to kick the bucket. |
