Psalm 91:1 NKJV He who dwells in the secret place

Ran 6.21 miles with the dog this morning.

Temperature was 37 degrees when I started but the 10mph wind made it 30 degrees.  The sun was out and it felt really warm regardless the temperature so I wore shorts.  I don't think weather.com was right this morning because even with the wind chill it did feel like 30 degrees.  I headed up to Pocatello Creek Rd. and turned on Satterfield Hill Rd and hit the wind all the way up the hill. 

 I was up late last night, because this jeep ran into our neighbors fence and they were trying to run away from the accident but my wife and I ran outside and made them stay put and my wife immediately called the cops.  They were definitely drunk and destroyed the fence in their jeep.  The noise was very loud and scared us.  Needless to say I didn't get to bed early.

I did run 15.23 miles at an easy 7:00 pace in 1:46.  I through in some 6:3ish and 6:4ish miles the last half of the miles.   I also did some fartleks during the run.  Very beautiful day.

Lunch

My wife didn't need me to fill in on my lunch hour at the daycare, because of early release school day so I decided to run.  There's a wind advisory here starting at 3pm, but the wind was already blowing hard on my run at 30mph! The temperature was 72 degrees just gorgeous despite the wind.   I ran 4 with it and 4 against it.  I acutally was faster in the headwind vs the tailwind.  Probably do to the fact I was just getting the legs warmed up.  I ran 8.21 miles at an overall 6:51 pace in 56.17 minutes. 

No lunch yet the belly is complaining.
 

Another morning with a strong wind, but another shorts day.    The problem with the wind is it was circular so you never knew where it was going to blow from.  Definitely a weird experience this morning.

I stayed up too late last night especially after running 23 miles yesterday.  I was getting laptop estimates and computer desktop price estimates for my wife for grants that they have been approved to have for our daycare.  This is for new computer systems.  My wife gets a free laptop and I get to pick it out under a certian price range that the grant provides.  The desktop will be the daycare software admin system.  I was also still looking at wheels/rims for my truck.  I like the Teflon but I might have to lift my front end of the truck for these to work, or they will be to aggressive. Anyway, I was up after midnight.

My legs were a little sore today after yesterday's runs so I ran an easy 14.12 miles at an overall 7:28 pace in 1:42.  I wanted the pace slow and easy, but the wind really did help matters.

Temperature was 28 degrees with a nice wind, but I still wore shorts with gloves, sunglasses and ski hat.  I probably looked like a reject out there running.  I ran 14.13 miles at an overall 7:25 pace in 1:44.  Just another easy run.  I was tired this morning.

Evening 

Did a .1 sprint to wake the legs up.

The temperature this morning was 49 degrees and a nice breezy wind around 10mph.  I ran a rather hilly route this morning.   My legs felt better today, other than I have had a pain at the bottom of my left foot up near the toes for the last week or so.  My toe next to the big toe feels kind of swollen.  I need to keep my attention on this that it doesn't get worse.  Could be because I've ran for 25 straight days. :-)

Anyway, I started from my house ran down Yellowstone, and turned up Clark St. (hill) then up Hospital Way (another Hill).  Once you get up to the hostpital you have a half mile downhill.  Then I turned up Buckskin Rd (hill) then turned on American Rd (rolling hills) then turned on Barton Rd.  (downhill) for almost a mile.  Then all the way back home (flat).

 I ran 15.10 miles in an easy 7:15 pace in 1:49.  Ran three miles under a 7 minute mile.

I've done quite a bit of medium long runs this week to build endurance.  I feel really good that I was able to accomplish that in the time frame I have.

Temperature this morning was 38 degrees with a bit of a breeze.  I drove up to the start of the Pocatello Marathon course this morning.  I was going to run the course and have my wife pick me up before she had to work,  but she had another migraine last night.  I wanted her to sleep as late as she could so I just ran down the backside (she is feeling better this morning). 

I ran the 6 mile downhill than headed up Olympus Rd.  then turned up to reach the top of Satterfield Rd  (2 mile uphill) then I headed back down for a two and a half mile downhill on Bench RD.  Then I ran on Hiline, Yellowstone, Hawthorne, Alameda roads.  Then back on Mckinley to my house.   Pretty much all of this is flat.  

I ran 21.42 miles at an overall 6:56 pace in 2:28.

Evening

Ran .1 to loose the legs up after mowing the lawn.

Ran 11.22 miles in 35 degree weather but nice and sunny for shorts.  The bottom of my left foot upper part under the toes is hurting.  No running tomorrow to let that rest.

Afternoon

Sprinted at my sons tee ball game.  I ran more than this but I'll just count it at .1 distance.  He hit the ball hard all three times and fielded the ball very well.  He also ran the bases very well and I was real proud of my 4 year old.  Sadly, this is his last game of the year.
