I run therefore, I am!

Biked home from work.

I biked from work to my appointment with my PT and he did ART therapy and taped my leg and told me to try running saturday. Then I biked home

got the ok from my doc to run so I helped Carina to a PR on the Lehi 5k. I did about a 4 mile warmup with her and then some striders. The race was warm and we started out pretty fast and there were about 6 high school boys ahead. We got in the 3rd position right behind the 2 leaders. I saw them fade a bit before the second mile and then it went downhill and they pushed the pace more. Carina did great and I was really pushing her to under a 20 time and she nailed it! Great job! It feels good to help out while I'm on my down time and get a race under my belt at the same time. I really live to race.

I biked home from work 18 miles in 55 min. Then ran 10 miles in 1 hour 7 min. I hit a 5.40 on miles 8 and 9. My achilles felt good. I'm back Baby!

I biked home from work and then ran with Danielle. I ran up to her house in Daybreak and did 6 with her and 4 on my own. I barely missed the rain! Im good like that!

I went to the oval and stayed dry tonight but it is boring to do 35 some odd laps. I made a buddy from north Carolina and just moved here. His name is Matt and I'm getting him this blog to keep track of his progress.

Started at willow park in lehi and ran to Utah lake and came up short of an even 4 miles so I took a dirt road that went to the lake. I got into some tall willows and ran right onto some naked sunbathers! Turned around fast and made it back to the park and went North 1 mile and back to the car.

I did two legs. First one was 3.5 miles of rollers and a mile of torcherous mountain running.

Second leg was 5.5 miles of 3.5 downhill and 1 trail and 1 back on the road. It was a seriously fun race and I would recommend it to everyone! We took 2nd overall in the mixed division and had a blast. We got a back pack and water bottles and a gift certificate to the juice bar. I ran with ProBar who graciously let me run on their team.

Went after work behind the Capital and ran up city creek canyon to the top and back down and to my car. I really felt good  and the river was raging pretty good! I still have some tenderness in my achilles.

6 miles from home up around Daybreak Lake. Then home  in 38 minutes.

Met in Lehi at Smiths and ran with Carina and her group of friends and we tackled the uphill stretch to Suncrest. Very steep! It was a great up and then down hill run. Had a fun time with them. Good miles!

I ran up to the Daybreak Lake about 2.3 miles and then did a 3.1 mile tempo run with 5:44 pace. Then a couple of miles and then a 1 mile tempo with some downhill to help push me in 5:14. Then a couple of mile cool down. A total of 1:04 for 10 miles. Finished at 10 pm.
