I run therefore, I am!

Ran with the BBK group for the first time in a while. Was only able to do two 3.5 mile loops.

Ran at the oval tonight and met up with Dennis Simonitis and Neal Gassman who are the fastest Masters right now and a force to be reconend with.  I did 10x 400's with them. We started with a 75 and then did 2 74's and then 3 73's 2-72's and a 71 and my last was barely a 70.  I felt like I was falling apart so I stopped at 10 and they  continued to do 15x400's. We Jogged in between each lap to give me 20 laps plus a 1.5 mile warmup and a 1.5  mile cool down. It was nice talking to both those amazing runners. when I wasnt panting that is.

Ran early with Danielle. We met half way and did a loop around my neighborhood. A bit chilly. Made it 6.25 miles

Met up with the Runamoks and did some hill kills workout. Ended up running 8.35 miles. Met a lot of new faces and a 63 year old runner that boasts a 3:07 time and is working on breaking 3 hours! So cool!

I ran with the bbk runners this morning. We did a 5 mile warmup and then a mile tempo run at 5.29 then a mile cooldown.

Ran with Danielle this morning. We had a good conversation going and it made the time go quick.

I went to Julie's house and ran with the runamoks. We did a 10.5 loop in the wind. then we did a 2.25 mile run out and back. I did a 2 mile tempo pace my last 2 miles. I did a 5:38 on mile 14 and 5:45 on the 15th mile. I felt pretty good but had a downhill to help push me.

Ran with Danielle this morning and met half way to Day Break and came down and over to 98th down to 2700 west and over to 104th south then up and around the neighborhood. It was nice, no wind and felt a lot warmer.  

I ran 10 miles in a freakin blizzard this afternoon in 1:09. I actually liked running in the slush because it felt soft but my shoes felt like they had mud on them. Maybe I can count this as a workout as well. 

I went to the oval and did a mile warm up and then did 4x800s with Dennis and Neal and Bill and 3 fast guys from Australia.  I hit a 2:29, 2:30, 2:34, 2:30. We jogged a lap in between them. I then did 2 more 800s with a 2:39 and a 2:38. I so need to run with these guys more! I could clearly see my times slow when I was by myself. I need to get used to running hard and being pushed. It feels good! 

I did a nice easy run with Danielle and made 6 miles outnod it. It was hard to wake up so its good I had to meet up.

I went and ran with the Runamoks group tonight and ran 8.5 miles with a bunch of hills in the mix that we sprinted. It was great to see those guys out again. Always fun!

Ran with the bbks. Did a mile at 5.57 and some hills

I met up with Danielle and we ran our usual route around the neighborhood loop and I ran her home and made it 7.5 miles and then went up 10200 So. to Daybreak lake and around and up and down and over and through the bridges and over the bridges and by Mcdonalds and Olive Garden and the District and then to my house. phwew...

Went to Murray and ran with the Runamoks group. We started with a warmup and then did some striders and then ran a few more miles and did 6x .35 mile repeats. I did a 1:33, 1:33, 1:33, 1:34, 1:34, 1:35.  We then ran a couple miles and did a 1 mile tempo at 5:18, with a 3:40 break and a 1 mile tempo at 5:38 in a bit of a headwind. We then ran back to Murray to make it 17.5 miles.  I saw Kim running the opposite direction and also Smooth and a few others that we came across. It was a good workout.

I ran 9 miles this morning with diggity Danielle this morning. I like having the time to run a little longer in the mornings now that im on my 1 month layoff from the city.  I talked to her about my plan to run 40 miles on my birthday April 18th. Im going to have to take the day off. Its actually on a monday which is the same day as Boston. So Ill get to run my own marathon in Utah.

6 evening miles.

Ran with Danielle and it was a warm morning if the wind wouldnt have been there. Made it 6.5 miles. 

Ran with danielle early this morning. Nice and easy.

I ran 5 miles with Paul Peterson in Smithfield at a 6.50 pace. He is driving down to moab. I ran another at my inlaws in Lewiston.

I ran here in Lewiston Utah. It was a very flat run at 4500' elevation. I had a severe head wind and crosswind for half my run. I started out trying to hit 7 minute pace but couldn't guy it. Coming back I felt like I was being lifted up and pushed. It was fun. I was hitting 6.15 pace on my last part of my run. I ran 12 miles in 1.19.

I went out early this morning and did 6.5 with Danielle. I felt sick, im not sure if it was because of the warmer temps or what.  It was nice not having hurricane gusts blow me over. 

It was bitter cold this morning and pretty windy. I started out more conservative than last year but the tail wind and slight downhill gave me a push.  There are some nasty steep pieces of hill in this race one right after mile 3 and one at 7 and one at 10.  I had an extremely tough time with the wind. It was slowing me to a 6:15 pace. Once I had the tail wind to my back I felt better. Mile 11 was my gut check though. I had a hard time from there on as my legs tightened up. I pushed as hard as I could to get it done though. I had a runner trailing me and I noticed he gained on me on the up hill stretches and wind which made me nervous. It was a good check on my progress for the year which im a bit behind but I will try getting back to it hard. I have some issues with my periformis that got worked on after the race and I wished I had more time because it felt good and then when he was done, it tightened back up.   I saw a lot of friends and family at the race and its put on very well by Lisa Dudley and Riverton City.  They gave out a really cool wagon wheel trophy that is massive!  I love it though. I also got a money gift card for first.  The course is a good gut check for those that arent used to any downhill. 

1:5:17, 2:5:39, 3:5:47, 4:6:12, 5:6:03, 6:5:48, 7:6:18, 8:6:20, 9:6:21, 10:5:53, 11:6:13, 12:5:55, 13:5:46, .1:.44, 1:18:17

Ran 6.5 miles with Danielle early this morning and then took Sarah to her new High School Herriman where she will be able to smash her time with the proper training and coaches that know whats up with running. lol Then I went up to work up by Skyline High School today and ran with Rachel for a 7.5 hill repeat run and loop and Im spent.  I did 6.5 with Danielle in 1 hour and I did 7.5 miles in 56 minutes with hills! 

Ran 9.15 miles up near Skyline HS and then over to 21st so. and around loop.

Ran 7 miles with Danielle this morning, she was running in pain then I finished off 3 harder tempo miles staying under 6 minute pace.

I went to the Park trail starting out at Gardner Village and went north 7 miles in a bit of a head wind. The sun was shining and it was warm finally! Then I turned around and ran 7 back in a butt wind. I was hot and was in my summer wear. Yes! Daddy likes!
