I run therefore, I am!

Met near my house at a church with the BBK runners.  I did a 3 mile warmup and then they planned a 6 mile tempo run but I didnt have time so I cut it to 3 miles. I guess I did more of a progressive run than tempo. I did a 6:01, 5:51, 5:34. Legs are still tight as can be. I feel better though from yesterday.  Got to see Becca for the first time in a while. Nice to see her out doing the BBKing! lol I talked with Dean and found out his son is in my ward now. He bought the house that I owned the lot on from back in 2004. I also talked a bit with Rachel who is ramping up the miles this week! Good run!

I ran 6 miles on my lunch break around Liberty park. 4 loops on the wood chips and then an extra .25 to hit 6. Very hot! 

I biked to the trax line and then from the trax line to my house. 10 miles total.

Met Danielle halfway and turned and went up to Daybreak and around and then up towards Herriman and back down to the lake and then I took her up to show her where the new Trax line comes out and then we came back down to my house. Started at 5 and it was dark till about 6:30.  Good run, Good friends and fun! lol 

Went with Misty to my favorite course for a long run to mimick the St. George marathon course. It starts at the Capitol and you run the horseshoe to 11th ave then East to Shriners Hospital and then back to City Creek canyon and up to the top then back down to the Capitol. I ran alone and by the time I hit the canyon the sun was up so I made my way up it and there wasnt anyone up there which was odd because there are usually tons of runners and bikers up it on Saturday early.  Going up was 2000' incline and I was averaging about an 8:15 pace. Coming down I hit my last 7 miles in: 6:15, 5:40, 5:52, 5:55, 5:44, 5:43, and 5:23. It was colder up the canyon which I love so I didnt feel any fade like I do with the heat.

I biked from work to trax and trax to home. Then I ran up from my house by the Daybreak lake and up to Herriman HS and over to 126th south and down to 36th west and then home. Nice breeze and cooler temps were nice. 

Ran with Danielle this morning. Talked about St. George Marathon and where we are going to stay and whether or not to take vacation to Lake Powell together. Its hard to schedule multi families vacations, but we will see. May even go to Sand Hollow after for a few days instead. Ran at park for lunch 6 miles.  

10 mile bike ride home. 

Ran up City Creek starting at 11th Ave down to the Canyon and up 3.5 miles and back down for my lunch break.

Biked 10 miles home after work

I ran up to Danielles house and we ran 14 miles together.  We made our way around the lake and up to Herriman area on the  SoJo marathon course and then back home.  On my way back home I went to use a porta potti off the side of the road by Daybreak and walked in on a construction worker taking a dump and saw way to much! I have been washing my eyes several times today and still cant get it out of my mind! Ewww! 

I was installing bike racks up by Sugarhouse park today so I decided to run the park for my lunch break. I ate my lunch at 10 am while I was "working" and then at 11:30 I ran the park. Pretty hot but nice. No shade like Liberty park.  

I rode to Trax and then Trax to home saves about 11 miles of biking into a headwind. am I a wuss? Nahh!

Ok I felt guilty for wussing out so I did another 8.25 miles of running tonight from my house up around Daybreak Lake and back. 

I went down to LifeTime Fitness parking lot and met the bbk runners and I ran from my house there and got 4.25 miles. We did a short half mile run over to our spot for the 1 mile repeats and I got 3 of them in before I had to leave. I did 5:50, 6, and 5:54. I did a 2 minute rest in between. I got a total of 9 miles this morning.

I did 6 miles at Liberty Park for my lunch break and warmed up 2 miles and then did 2x1 mile repeats. I did a 5:34, and a 5:24 with a 2 minute rest in between.  Then cool down to make the 6 miles. 

I biked 10 miles home from work to Trax and Trax to home.

Bike

Woke up later than I wanted to but got out at 6:15 and ran 12. I was supposed to meet Danielle and thought I hosed her but when I got home I noticed her text saying she slept in till 7 so we hosed each other. It was nice out this morning and I ended up doing 3 miles tempo in 5:55, 5:44, 545.  I would like to run SGM in 5:45 pace for the first half if its in the cards and then see if I can negative split. 

1 hour P90X CD-Plyometrics with Boston! He did an entire hour! I couldnt believe it! 

Ran from my house to my sister in laws house in Herriman, Rosecrest area. made a nice 8 mile run all up hill I think that puts me at about a 6:50 pace. I ran it in 55 minutes. 

I did a tempo run tonight. I ran up to Herriman High School with a 7:20 pace and then did 3 miles tempo 5:29, 5:43, 5:19 with a 1 mile cool down 6:50.  51 minutes total.  

I did 3.1 miles at Zermatt Hotel that I stayed in last night from a package I won from American Fork Half Marathon.

Then I ran the Dirty Dash 10k at 2:20 pm and had a blast!  I was to competitive though and ran it hard. lol I am amazed at the turnout they have their. Wow it was fun!
