Running Accomplishments:

High school (in San Diego) I ran a 16:40 5k and a 4:33 mile.  Have run 11 marathons. 

PR - Ogden 2009 - 2:55:10

 

Haven't done a 5k or 10k or half in a long time.  I just enjoy doing my regular daily runs and then hittin' the Marathons.  I might slip in some shorter/faster races this year.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Drop some more weight (get down to 150),  keep Pr'ing, and try to stay injury free.  Get a 2:46:42 or better in a marathon - I wanna beat Lance's PR!!

Get out on more trails around the valley and enjoy the scenery.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Focus on marathons and possibly ultras? Keep healthy and lean.

Personal:

Married with 2.95 girls.

11.02 Miles. 1:26:21 (7:50/mile).  Felt decent today.  Left arch hurting a little bit.  Think I need to swap out some shoes.  Starting my third week of trying the higher mileage deal.  I think I'm adapting slowly but surely.  I'm considering doing some tempos this week, but still kind of feel like I should not push it at all and just work on being 100% comfortable with the miles.  Ran with the gang for about 4 miles.

9.92 miles. 1:11:53 (7:15/mile)

Got out of bed a little easier this morning. . . . anxious to try out my new toy.  I got the new Garmin 405.  My wife is getting into running and wore my 201 and liked it.  Next thing I knew, she wanted me to buy the new one so she could have the old.  I guess I could do that. 

I didn't really plan on doing a tempo today, but I ran my first three miles at 7:11 pace, which is faster than my normal "loggin' miles" pace.  Amazing how a watch can make you faster!  Thought it was pointless to be in the middle ground for pace, so I made my next 3 a short tempo at about 6:20 each.  (6:26, 6:25, 6:10).  Was a little under 8 for the rest of the run. Ran with Sasha, Josse and Jeff for a couple of miles on the way back. 

P.M. - 1.65 miles on the treadmill at 7:30 trying out two different pairs of shoes.

9.400.009.40

9.40 Miles 1:17:14 (8:13/mile).  Ran with Sasha and Jeff.  Did 2 -100m sprints and then a 200m sprint.  I think they said my times were about 15, just under 13, and then just over 29.  I hadn't had a full out sprint in years and it felt pretty good. . . until the second half of the 200.  My body started shutting down at that point.  The run as a whole felt really good.  I'm comparing it to a couple weeks ago, or even last week, when I felt like I was struggling to get in the miles (even the slow miles).  I think my body is adapting to the early morning runs and the higher mileage.  I'm still not getting the ideal amount of sleep (about 6 hours average), but I'm surprised that I'm not dragging anymore throughout the day. 

Started wearing the NB 710's today.

10.02 Miles.  (6:52/mile).  Today I figured Sasha and Jeff would be doing some sort of tempo run, so I thought I'd do my own thing.  I just wanted to feel marathon pace today.  I ended up doing a mid tempo/marathon pace.  Felt good and relaxed the whole time.  Splits: 7:11, 6:54, 6:52, 6:54, 6:59, 6:52, 6:47, 6:47, 6:44, 6:38.  Average heart rate - 162 BPM

9.38 Miles. 1:14:08 (7:54/mile) Ran solo today, without music.  Was pretty nice to listen to all of the animals and watch the sunrise over the mountains as I ran parallel to the lake.  I really love my neighborhood and how close the trail is (and how far away it can make me feel).  My favorite stretch of the trail is the mile that runs along the lake.  From there you can't see any homes, just the trees lining the river, fields with cows & horses, the mountains, and the lake. . . . and a runner or two here and there.

21.08 Miles. 2:36:46 (7:26/Mile).  155 BPM average heart rate.  Felt pretty tired this morning, stayed up late watching Ladder 49.  I love the long runs though, and was able to hop out of bed despite how drained I was.  I intended to take it nice and slow throughout the whole run, but as soon as my body woke up, I naturally started to pick it up a little.  Made it almost up to Bridal Veil falls at my turnaround, then decided to stick to about a 7:00 pace for 6-7 miles on the downhill to get my legs used to that for Deseret News (however, the grade isn't anything compared to DN).  Kept the pace for most of the way back, then slowed to about 7:15 for the last few miles.
