I had a great run this morning. I wanted to sleep in a little, so I didn't run with Lisa. I ran on the trail. It was a little windy but other than that perfect running weather. My splits were 8:39, 7:58, 7:50, 7:44, 7:49, 7:36, and 7:29. Average pace 7:53. This was basically a tempo run for me.
Ogden marathon is in 2 weeks. I have no idea what to expect. I've averaged 40-50 miles a week for the last 6 months, but most of those miles have been slow. I haven't run any hills up or down and I've had very few runs over 17 miles. So I'm thinking of about running the first half at an 9:00 average pace and then just seeing how I feel after that. I would actually be happy with anything under 4 hours at this point. |

The run started at Riverton High School. I got there 20 minutes early and ran 2 easy before 7:00. The group was small today. There was Peggy, Cheris, Andy, Aaron and me. I ran with Peggy and Cheris for a few miles. I was afraid the pace was a little fast for me and I wouldn't be able to finish strong so I told them to go ahead. They never got too far ahead and I ended up catching up to them on the Bangerter overpass at 9800. I ran with them for another mile until we got to the Holiday gas station and I had to make a stop. They kept going so I was on my own again. As much as I hate running by myself, it's good for me to be able to run my own pace. They came back for me at 11800 S. and the 5 of us finished the last two miles together. It was a tough run but I felt really good.
My splits were: 9:48, 9:06, 8:20, 8:09, 8:14, 7:40, 8:25, 8:01, 7:46, 7:34, 7:43, and 7:39. Avg pace 8:13. |

Met the group at Bingham. I didn't make it to the full early miles, but I did get in 1.5. We warmed up on the track for about a mile. Then we headed South of the school and did several 30 second and one minute speed intervals. Then we headed back to the track where we did 4 laps of 200 fast and 200 recover. Then we finished off with the fast guys running a 300 and trying to catch those of us running a 200. They did catch us by the way. Cheryl is great. We all love her workouts. She has a great plan for us for St. George.
I came home and ran another 3 miles with Taylor. My legs get so stiff when I break up my runs like this. No work today.

| I met the group at the church on 10200 S. and 4000 W. Greg was in charge. We did hill repeats on the big hill West of the church. The plan was to get faster each time we went up and recover down. I'm really unsure of my pace and distance. I forgot to start my Garmin. I was there for 75 minutes. |

| Today was my Friday to work. I ran from work to the trail. I wanted to test out the 1.5 mile PT on the trail. I didn't run it all out but still managed to run it in 11:40. It was a nice morning to run. Average pace 8:30. |

| Met the group at Riverton Park. We ran the 10k course, then ran down onto the trail for a couple of miles and turned around. My splits were 9:42, 8:41, 8:19, 8:25, 8:03, 7:52, 8:30, 8:25, 7:54, 8:16, and a cool down for the last .33. Average pace 8:26. The pace felt pretty good. I was able to talk the whole time. |

| I ran a few miles on the trail and the rest around work. I wanted a few faster paced miles today. My shins and knees are hurting a bit. I hope this goes away. I also planted flowers at work today. My back is a little sore from that. My splits were 9:10, 7:54, 7:57, 7:51, 8:29 and 8:13 pace for the last .5. Average 8:17. Rest and easy recovery runs until Ogden. |

I'm tapering and I should feel great, but no I do not. I planned on running 4 miles but I called it quits at 2.5. Just felt yucky. |

I really hadn't put in the training I should've for this race, so I didn't have very high expectations. This ended up being a really enjoyable race.
The weather was perfect. I couldn't have asked for it to be any better. I wanted to finish in under 4 hours. I probably could've finished 5-10 minutes faster, but I wanted this to be a good experience and it was.
When the gun went off, I was stuck behind the 5 1/2 hour group. It took awhile to break through the crowds. At mile 5 I caught up to the 3:45 pacer. Then I took a bathroom break and lost them. I caught up to the 3:45 pacer again at mile 10 right before I took my second bathroom break. I didn't see that group again. I had one more POP stop at mile 14, then I was good for the rest of the race. I tried to just really take in the scenery and enjoy the race. It is seriously the most beautiful place to run.
I walked a lot. I would spint for several minutes, then walk for 20-30 seconds. I don't know why I do that. I know it's all mental. It really was nice to feel so good after the race.
My splits from my garmin (which were off from the mile markers) were: 9:02, 8:16, 8:02, 7:57, 8:05, 9:41(POP), 8:08, 8:01, 8:26, 8:23, 10:59(POP), 8:41, 8:44, 9:25, 11:11(POP), 8:53, 8:45, 8:53, 8:40, 8:51, 9:12, 8:28, 8:43, 9:15, 9:30, 9:46, and 9:02(for the last .43).
I drank at every aid station. I had a GU at miles 5, 11, 17 and 23.

| I did a workout at work today. We did 6 different exercises for 3 minutes each. We did push-ups, pull-ups, box jumps, burpees, lunges and thrashers. I'm so out of shape. I really want to get stronger. |

| I met Angela, Brittanee, Jeff and Jeff's friend for a trail run. We started at Angela's house and got on the trail across from the equestrian park. We did an out 7 miles and back. I'm way cautious on the rocky parts and that really slows me down. It was a lot of fun and hopefully I can get a little faster. I love running with my sister. I took some ibuprofen before the run to help with the soreness from Thursdays workout. It helped, but caused me to have a pretty bad stomach ache later. |

| I can't really call this a run. I ended up walking 90% of it with some pathetic jogging here and there. My body hurt and my sinus cold was in full force. I was determined to get out. It took me 1:27 minutes. |

| I was so looking forward to running with the group. I found out late the night before that someone at work was sick and I had to be there early. Very disappointed! |

| I was a few minutes late to meet the group at SJ park. I ran up to the top of Rustic Roads and back for an easy 2 miles. Greg was in charge. After a warm up, we did a little thing were we ran single file and the person in back has to sprint to the front. Then we did 4 hill sprints on Rustic with a recovery down. Then we ran easy to the school followed by a fast 2 miles back to the cars. I went to work and ran a few more miles until I hit a little over 10. It was long day and I felt pretty tired. |
