I run therefore, I am!

Ran daybreak lake with Danielle. Early morning run. Feels good to get back to running everyday. Damn it feels good to be a gangster!

A late night run.

Ran 6 miles with Danielle. Its been a while since I've done that.

I started out in Manilla and went west on highway 114 thinkng it would be mellow and it was pretty busy. I made it 6 miles and found a dirt road that went up about 800' to 7800 elevation. Then ran back to the cabin we are staying at. The view on the way back was awesome!

Ran with the HHS team and did a 4 mile jog at a 7 min. pace then 5 x 100 meter striders then 2 laps around to make a even 5.

Went out at 7:30 figured on doing 10 or so. Made my way down the the Jordan Park Trail. stayed on it till dark and made my way back to make a total of 18 miles. It may be more as my watch was dead.  It probably would have psyched me out into not going that far anyways. I am weak lately!  

Ran a 6.25 mile loop from Monarch Park in Heriman ionto a lake and around Rose Crest and back to the park with the XC speed demons. Then did 2 loops in the park. 7 total miles.

Ran easy out to Bacchus highway from the school 2 miles and then on the 3rd mile I pushed a hard tempo pace for the last mile. 

Ran the Capitol to City Creek loop I so love to do. I was the only runner up there so it made me nervous. Saw a Doe and heard some crunching noises in the brush a few times. After I got to the top just .25 miles down I almost got nabbed by a Rattle Snake. I was a bit too close to the side of the road when I was coming around a turn and I thought it was a squirrel at first  but then it coiled up and raised up right as I was by it. That would have sucked if it bit me. I wouldve been screwed blue and tattoed before anyone got up as high as I was. I ran down the middle of the road from then on. As Steve Irwin would regularly say, "that was a close one!" (Australian Accent) My last 6 miles were at a 5:35 pace. I was having some issues with my left hip in the front. Will Ice, Ibuprophen, rub, repeat.

No miles. I dropped a 5 gallon paint bucket on my right big toe. I went in to the docs and they saw no breaks or fractures, but there is a weird bone chip that sent a sliver of bone to the side of my bone in the skin so they are going  to look at it closer and let me know on friday when I go back in.  It is very painful and hurts to walk on it for now. More rest which is most likely good for me anyways. Ill gain weight and give my body some much needed rest.

I met Danielle down at the park trail on 90th south and 700 west and we ran 10 miles north and made it somewhere near 22nd south. It may have been farther. I figure its usually around 8 blocks per mile but it does weave side to side. I saw Teena Marie at mile 15 and she was going to fast for us. I ended up running the last 3 miles at a 6:30 pace. My toe hurt my periformis hurt my hip flexor and pretty much my entire pelvis was a mess. Other than that...

Went to Herriman HS and did a 1 mile warm up and then did 12 x 400's at a 71 several times, 72 5 times and a couple 73's and 74's. Very windy from the south and hard to finish the last 150 yards.  I did a 400 yard recovery jog in between the reps. Felt good to do a speed workout after a very sore toe. 

1 mile warmup and 6x800 repeats up a very steep hill in Herriman with the XC studs.3:30, 3:23, 3:19, 3:24, 3:24, 3:18.

Ran daybreak with Christa, Misty and Charity 4 miles around the lake.

Run with the XC kids.
