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.

10.06 miles.  6:48 average pace.  154 bpm average heart rate.  Ran on my high school track. 

Another unintended workout.  Just kind of naturally went there and then decided to go with it.  I noticed the first few miles that my miles were getting faster.  I decided to keep with the pattern and progress 5-10 seconds every mile. 

7:58, 7:21, 7:12, 7:00, 6:52, 6:44, 6:35, 6:27, 6:16, 5:50

Felt good.  Wish I had the new "rubber" track when I ran there.  It was dirt back in my day.

10.5 Miles. 7:01 average pace.  Wanted to try to run at 6 min pace as far as I could.  After a 1.5 mile warmup, I went at it, and it didn't last nearly as long as I wanted.  I also didn't help things by going faster than I had planned.  6:00, 5:56, then a 5:41 when I gave up and decided I was only going to do 3 miles and pushed it as hard as I could.  My legs felt pretty dead from the previous few runs with all of the hills.  I then ran through and around the school for 6 more miles.  I ran through parts of the park where we had many of our cross country races.  I couldn't believe we used to run on that stuff.  I almost broke my ankle 10 times on that chunky, thick grass.

10 Miles.  7:36 average pace.  Ran to the top of Mt. Helix, then around the neighborhoods.  After the "ascent" to the top, dropped about 1000 ft in 3.5 miles.

Didn't run today.  My dad wanted to do a hike, so we got up at 4:30 and drove up to San Jacinto and hiked 16 miles from the Idyllwild side.  Counted them as .5 running miles.  Good elevation gain/drop on this hike. Elevation at peak was about 11,000 feet.

No running today. Couldn't fit it in with the activities for the day. Today was my wife's day to shine and I was the cheerleader.  She ran in the Scripps Ranch 10k in Scripps Ranch, Ca. around lake Miramar.  She ran further and faster than she has ever run before!  I'm so proud of her.  She has gone from 13 minute miles for 2 miles, to 8:30 miles for 6.2 in a couple of months.  She is training for the hobble creek half and I'm sure she'll do great.

Today was the first day I've felt like I regressed in a long time.  I know I ran a long time, had some warm weather for a morning run, and had a lot of hills in it, but I felt like I wasn't running as well as I should've.  I had to stop a handful of times to rest.  Each time it was harder to get going again.  I averaged 7:45 for the time I ran not including my rest breaks.  Felt pretty dehydrated/beat when I got back.  Literally just fell into my parents pool and played dead in the water for about a half hour.
