My Running Log

Ran the out-and-back to Le Cai (or however you spell it). This is an "easy hill" workout. At the end, I actually felt good rather than dead. Average pace: 7:54.

Just ran with Dustin on the track in the rain. We did 5x1000m with 200m rest. My times were:

3:54

3:55

3:54

4:01

3:54

So these are equivalent to about 6:15 mile pace. I felt good and that I didn't have to struggle too much to hit this pace, but it did challenge me, so it was perfect.

It was really great to have a buddy to run with.

Ran easy miles out and back to 700 E 6000 S. The first half was with Dustin. The pace was 8:00 exactly. Was going to throw in some sprints but forgot to. Oh well.

Ran on the treadmill tonight. It was 1 mile warmup at 8:30 pace, 8 miles of level 6 random hill climb at 7:30 pace, and 1 mile cooldown at 8:30 pace. This might have been the most challenging run of the year for me. At least one of the top 5. I can't equate 7:30 pace on the treadmill to running that on the road, but it was pretty fast for me.

I feel wasted. Maybe I pushed myself too hard on this one. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to recover, but at least I get a day off tomorrow.

Wow, this is the lightest I've been all year. Maybe someday I will get below 170. That would be awesome.

I went on a campout with the youth group from my church ward. After getting back, I spent time with my wife and daughter and then ran a "midnight chaser"...see how much running I could fit in before midnight came. I was hoping to get 16 miles. Not sure why 16...that just popped into my head because last week I did 14.

It was dark and a Saturday night, so I ran on the treadmill to avoid having to deal with traffic. I reached my goal of 16 miles, watching the news and the NCAA T&F championships. It was awesome to see BYU's Kyle Perry take the steeplechase crown.

Average pace was about 8:00/mile with 2 stops for drinks and a 1% incline for most of it. It was 2:07 of running.

This was my longest run of the year and my highest weekly mileage probably in 14 years. I'm starting to feel more like a runner.

Congrats to those who ran so well in the UV Marathon and UT Summer Games!
