Good run today for 9.12 miles at an overall 6:58 pace in 1:03.  Felt really good on a more uphill course to FootHill and Gathe Rd. than back on Lincoln Rd. down Benton st.  Then back on Main St. 

Good Splits to end 6:54, 6:58, 6:51, 6:41, 6:33.  

My son woke up with a swollen eye and part of the face today so I had to take him to the Children's Clinic. His eye got some type of irritation where he has to put drops in his eye for the next few days.   I coach his baseball team so I don't know if he will be able to play tonight.

Easy 7.4 run with Barry this morning.  Just a good old chatty run.  I trying to help bring his endurance back up.  

 I also sent in a request to see if I could seek into the closed Utah Valley Marathon on June 9th for my debut marathon return.  I know it's a long shot but thought I would try.

Worked till 1:30am last nigt putting on firmware updates on our Dell Equallogic System and getting Survey logs from a HP Proliant machine that will justify it being replaced.  So that being said I could have been replaced with a new energized body this morning.

Anyway, I was tired waking up a little after 6am and really wasn't motivated to do anything.  The one motivation I had for anything  was crawling back in bed and snooze for 8 more hours.

I didn't want to run and I planned to do a harder uphill run today for the training with the legs.  I need to get the strength of going uphill like I had in years past.  Started from my house and went up Satterfield Rd.  Felt DEAD the first 3-4 miles and wanted to sleep, but I got warmed up and that helped.  ... then when I reached the top I did all the six side uphill streets running up and down to get 100ms up and down intervals.  This is a good spot to train for short intervals and it was always my secret and training option. Did those at a faster clip and the legs were turning over better and the stride felt better.  I was really getting hot and desperately need to buy some sunglasses but managed.  I finished the run going back down the hill which is about 3.5 from the top of Satterfield Rd. to my house.

13.25 miles in 1: 32

8:03, 7:41, 7:42, 7:52, 6:5, 6:46, 6:55, 6:39, 6;24, 6:52 6:37, 6:36. 6:33. 

Good half marathon simulation.  I miss racing and seeing runner friends I think more than anything since my accident.  I lost a big part of communication in that way.  I'm glad I'm starting to do events again.

Did 10.03 miles at an overall 7:05 pace in 1:11 and a repeat of yesterday. I was up again till 1:30am and got out of bed at 6:30am, but wasn't as tired this morning. Ran just a pancake course nothing special just decreasing the pace each mile. My left knee has bothered me the last couple of days so I will have to keep an eye on that. I think it's from laying on the floor working remotely from home till the middle of the night in a bad posture position with my Macbook.
Splits:
8:04, 7:29, 7:11, 7:06, 6:59, 6:57, 7:02, 6:48, 6:37, 6:28

 My daughter is running at Davis Field in her district track meet for the 2 mile today and 1 mile tomorrow.

Did 10.15 miles this morning at a 7:03 pace in 1:11. It was a little chilly this morning at 31 degrees, but I stayed in my racing shorts no way was I going back to tights. I wore a tech short sleeve shirt with arm warmers in case I got hot I could roll them down. Pretty good progressive run, but the knee was still a bit achy. My last mile was way inconsistent with the rest of the progressive pace at 6:07. But it didn't feel hard, but felt good and comfortable. I actually got sleep last night from two late nights of 1:30am.
splits
7:5, 7:37, 7:23, 7:13, 7:02, 6:57, 7:00, 6:51, 6:48, 6:07 (got carried away on the last mile)

Coming back I need to find that MP pace for several miles, that's the big key in the marathon.  Need to really work on that in long training runs.

This morning it was 32 degrees but it felt like it was warm because of no wind.  I met Bill M.  at Century High School to run together for  nice long run on the Pocatello Marathon Course.  Then traveled to Inkom to pick up Terry and Lowell great runners that have done a ton of marathons.  They were just planning on running 13 miles so we left their car around a housing area close to this distance on the course.

We then drove up to the Pocatello Marathon course (Crestview Rd).  and started the decent downward.  Bill and I stayed at a comfortable pace around the low 7's  up to 7:30's. Great conversation the whole way.  Then I started pulling away from Bill at mile 15 until the finish.  I really felt good the last 7 miles  of rolling hills with splits of (7:56, 7:09, 6:58, 7:08, 7:23 "Century hill climb", 7:12, 6:55).  Century hill felt like a piece of cake.  After I got to the car I ran back to find Bill and then finished with him.

Overall a great run with a great friend which is what it's all about.  Bill is a wonderful runner and a wonderful person.  Thanks Bill. 

Then I went home and mowed my grandpa's lawn.  Went to my daughters volleyball game.  Then did yard work till the evening. 

 Total Mileage for the run.

 22.11 miles in 2:46 at a 7:32 overall pace.  

Never did I ever think I would run this course again since my accident.  I'm so blessed and so emotional about the run.  I love this course because its been good to me.  Thank You Lord.
