This morning I felt really good and I think I beat the stomach flu, or the stomach flu beat me down and decided to leave my body. On Saturday I decided I would take Sunday (my normal day off) and Monday off as rest days, but I felt good so I ran. Besides I ate so much food Sunday that I needed the exercise. Our church had a Thanksgiving potluck, and I decided to have sweets which I normally don't do, but the temptation got the best of me. I ran 8.3 miles at an overall 6:43 pace in 56.10 minutes. Really the run was uneventful. I ran mainly a flat route. I really have been ignoring the speed training and tempos for about three weeks now and need to get back to that. This morning run felt real easy and I wanted to push the pace, but I thought I would wait till tomorrow to make sure I totally feel better.
Lunch: Very nice afternoon so I had to run outside, other
than the wind was awful. We actually have a wind advisory for the
whole day. I ran 5.3 miles at a 6:39 pace. The pace was a little
harder with the wind hitting me, but a good effort. I wanted to run
more, but I was on my lunch hour, and need to save time for a shower.
Jeff probably understands how you have to hurry to do your second run.

Today I was going to try to run a tempo run. Now there were two factor's that affected this run and both were not positive. First, Pocatello had a wind advisory for last night and through sometime today. I also still had a little bit of stomach issues going. I started the tempo after two warm-up miles, and the wind just beat me up that the first few miles were awful, and my stomach was aching a little where I felt I needed to use the bathroom. Any way the first several miles were (6:27, 6:23, 6:26, 6:24) awful times for a tempo. My stomach started hurting and the wind was blowing in my face and it was 24 degrees, but I thought to myself how bad do you want to become at better runner, because I was about to slow down and just float the last three miles. But I dug down deep and wanted to at least get better than the last few miles even though the wind felt like it was picking up and my stomach was now not feeling very good and I had to brown code. My last three miles were (6:17, 5:58, 6:18) not great but better than the first few. I was really glad to see my house, especially the bathroom. You can figure out those details yourself. |

This morning I ran 11.1 miles at an overall 6:44 pace in 1:14. It was 19 degrees outside so I was dressed in a tech shirt and my North Face wind resistant jacket. I didn't really push too hard. I ran the middle miles a little faster, really just a nice relaxing run. We had snow last night so some areas were a little bit slick. I never did get cold and the wind was around 8 mph so it wasn't as bad as yesterday.
I will try to run more today at the gym on my lunch hour if I have time. Lunch: I ran 6 miles on the treadmill, and the last three at (6:35, 6:00, 5:50). I really didn't want to run on the treadmill at the gym but I did want to run home and get dressed and waste a lot of time where the gym would be faster. When you have to work your running has to be scheduled around that and it makes it hard at times. |

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This morning it was 8 degrees when I started to run so I dressed in my UnderArmour stuff. I know UnderArmour is expensive but it works better than generic because you don't have to use layers. I ran 9.10 in a 6:33 pace overall. I did some MP miles towards the end (6:18, 6:14, 6:17, 6:15). I also ran our traditional family Thanksgiving run with my wife and kids. Barry also on this blog is my cousin and he ran on the trail to. He was burning up the trail and looked good. I'm glad he decided to join the blog because he's got some awesome times ahead of him. My sister-in-law also came to the trail and ran 3 miles. My mom also came and she walked a mile so we had all in the family there.
We did 2.06 on the Milwood Mile Trail that we drove to. My wife is trying hard to get back into running after about a 6 month layoff. I'm really proud of her for trying to start to run again and regain some endurance. My 8 year old and 11 year old ran a faster pace than my wife and I. I was running with the stroller it was really fun. After our family run I decided to run home from the trail so I ran another 3.3 miles at a 7:00 pace. |

| I originally wasn't going to run today, because I wanted a break, but I felt bad because of all the food I ate yesterday (Pie, Turkey, Ham, Whipped Sweet Potato and banana's, chips etc.). I decided to run with the dog which I haven't done for a while, and his wheels were ready to take off. We ran 8.2 miles at an overall 6:52 pace in 56:35 minutes. The dog was ready to run a marathon today, and my legs wanted to take off. It would be cool if I could run a marathon with my dog someday, because he's got the endurance. We did a couple miles at 6:39, 6:28 pace, and I wanted to do more but I slept in today, because I had the day off

Today, I run with the dog today after I slept in till 8:30am. It's nice having the day off that I don't have to get up early and run. The temperature was 12 degrees when I started running, but no wind which I was grateful for. I was planning on taking a couple days off from running but I just couldn't. I think running is becoming a obessions with me, do you think that's good or bad? It's almost if I have to run or I feel bad or akward. I've never had such a feeling about anything before.
Anyway, I ran 10 miles at a 6:53 pace in 1:04. I tell you what my dog is incredible the way he can run it just amazes me. Today, I basically just made up the route as I went this morning. Tomorrow is my day off from running, unless my wife wants to run than I'll run with her. |
