Great Valentines with my wife yesterday. We ate at Chili's and then we went and played Laser Tag with my brother and his wife, and my cousin (Barry on blog) and his wife. Then we rented a movie at stayed up till 2:30am! Got up late almost 9am, so I popped on the home treadmill and ran 7.3 miles in 47:55 all at a 2% incline. Then my wife and I had a great devotion of bible reading. Then we headed to church. My wife is a blessing and I love her so much.

Day off from work and running (President's Day)! I've been taking Monday's off as it is rather than Sunday, because of the morning work schedule. Spend the day doing projects around the house. While I was working I listened to the bible all day long. I have the whole New Testment on CD's. Decided that I'm not going to run any races until September this year.

Great devotion again today (I think I say that every day now). Devotions have really made my day start off good and not worry about how many miles I will get in, or how I will train for the day. I really don't care because all that matters is what I'm doing for the Lord. Everything we do and say must point to Jesus. I ran 10.3 miles today in a beautiful snow fall at 29 degrees. My overall pace was 7:02 in 1:12. I finished the run with a couple faster miles (6:40, 6:07) and that felt pretty easy. Didn't hit any hills today. The run was mainly on a flat route that I haven't really run before. Have to work tonight at 11pm so I did a sprint from my car to my office building which is .2 away where I parked. Nice to get a little anaerobic.

I work yesterday from 8:30 till 5:30 than and to come in at 11pm that night and worked till 5:30 to put on security patches, and test a database fail-over procedure (not my responsibility for the fail-over part, my responsibility is to keep the systems in sync with the code I wrote for the file systems on the database servers). We were having issues with Oracle database fail-over and that caused the time we were there to extend longer than we thought we would be there morning. Then after our DB discovered the problem (after 5 hours) it only took 2 minutes to fail-over, but took 5 hours to troubleshoot the simple solution. In the future this fail-over should be easy.
I woke up at noon after the late night/early morning. The last thing on my mind was running, but I hopped on the home treadmill for 4.1 miles in 26 minutes. Then I grabbed something to eat, and decided to go to work at 2pm even though I didn't have too. Did the last couple of minutes at a 5:30 pace. Did little sprinting tonight just for fun even though I was dead tired from work.

I did not want to get up this morning after the long work day yesterday. My mind, body, and everything else was just tired. After our great morning devotion I headed out in 11 degree weather and fog. I was really unmotivated and really didn't care if I took a step running today. I even drank half a pop of caffeine to try and wake my body up. I ran 12.5 miles at a slow 7:16 pace in1:30. I felt really slow today. Hopefully I can catch up on some sleep. I'm sure glad I'm not training, because the way my work schedule is this year will be difficult to get any decent training in. Right now my job is important and the only thing that matters so I must stay dedicated, because our Univeristy will experience lay-offs. Running will just have to be for fun and not for training. Did more sprinting tonight for about .2 to get the muscles juiced up.

This morning I got up at 5am and Barry met me at my house at 5:30am. We drove up to the start of the Pocatello Marathon Course and ran the backside down Pocatello Creek Rd, then we headed up Olympus Rd. then down Bench Rd. Then turned on Hawthorne Rd., then turned on Cedar st. then back down Mckinley Ave to my house. Barry ran 15 miles and I added an extra mile. I ran 16.31 miles at an overall 7:15 pace in 1:58. I'll only count 4 miles as MP miles. The temperature was only 8 degrees. Barry did well and did not struggle at all today. He's starting to get the endurance he needs to make some strong finishes in races. He's going to excel in the SLC and Ogden half marathon's. Me I'm just training him and content with not racing. I do need to retire my Sacuony Tangent 3 shoes now because they have 570 miles on them. They have been great shoes. I could have ran forever today. I felt great and ended the run with (6:53: 6:49) pace and that was very easy. Did this with only 4 hours of sleep with our son keeping us up with a cough and leg cramps last night. Evening: I did .3 sprints again. Then I ran up to the start of the Pocatello Marathon course running on the route to find my glove I lost that I didn't find. I had my garmin on and I ran .6 of a mile.

I ran 10:21 miles at an overall 7:24 pace in 1:15 with the Pocatello Running Group. We did a really good hilly workout. We started up Martin Luther King road, then up Buckskin Rd which is all uphill. Then American Rd. and it has some nice rolling hills. Then we headed downhill out towards Ross Park and looped back to the bagel shop that we started at. Barry ran with the group as well and did a great job up the hills even though he hates doing hills. But he's getting stronger running uphill. Afternoon I went with the kids to the Slimpot Games, and watched the High School top athletes in the United States run the 60m and the Medley Relay. Also ran a bit with the girls for .3 which was fun.
