I had an upset stomach so I didn't go to work.  I did an easy run on the treadmill and did strength training.  Dean's viewing was that night.

Dean' s funeral was today.  I got to work at 5:10 to get my run in.  I ran 4.5 easy miles on the treadmill.  It was a sad day.  Dean will be missed.

I started my run at the trail head 6:40.  I didn't start on the trail.  I did the loop twice and on the third time I went down the hill to to trail.  I finished the last 2.5 miles on the trail.  It was really windy going South, but nice running with the wind going North.  I felt pretty good.  My last couple of miles felt way easier than what the pace said.  My splits were 9:19, 8:22, 8:03, 8:52, 7:53, 8:23, 7:41, 8:33, 8:08.  Avg pace 8:22

2 miles on the treadmill followed by an upper body strength workout.  I went to UVU to watch Taylor run the 800 m prelims.  She did so great.  She was ranked 11th and only the top 8 advance.  She ran a PR of 2:15 and made it to the finals.  It made my day to see her so happy.

5 easy miles on the sidewalks around work.  Some guy in a red car purposefully turned right in front of me two different times.  Then a few a minutes later I saw him drive by me again.  It felt like he was taunting me.  I have no problem stopping and letting cars turn in, but this guy was just a jerk.

After work I helped Taylor unload her car then I did upper body weights.  

My goal is to have ripped arms and run a 3:30 marathon in October.  I know I can do this.

I met the group at Bingham this morning.  Angela even came.  Cheryl was in charge.  We warmed up for a mile.  Then we did serveral 1/2 mile repeats with recovery through the neighborhoods including Rustic Roads.  We came back to the track and did a few 800's and a 400.  Then we cooled down.  I ran 7 miles with the group, then I got to work and ran another 3.  I've got a lot of work to do to get my speed back, but I know with consistancy it will come.  Average pace for the 10 miles 8:24.

I rode the bike and lifted weights at work.  I also walked 30 minutes at lunch.

I started at the trail head, but ran on the street.  I ran the first 3 miles as a warm up and then a 3 mile tempo.  I started the tempo on a steep hill, so the first mile was a little slower.  Once I got back to the trail, I did several one minute pick-ups.  I wanted to run 10 today, but stomach was feeling off from flax seed muffin in a mug I had for dinner the night before.  I won't be making that again.  I still have heartburn.  No fun.  My splits were 9:46, 8:37, 8:40, 8:22, 7:50, 7:36, 8:10, 8:31 and 7:42.  Average pace 8:22.

My legs felt like lead and my left knee was pretty sore when I woke up.  I kept the pace very slow, between a 9:30mm and 10:00mm.  It was perfect running weather.

I met Angela at the trail on 12600 S.  We ran North for 8 miles then turned around and ran back.  It was pouring rain the whole time, but luckily it wasn't too cold.  The last couple of miles were tough.  Average pace 8:35.

5.5 super slow miles including some walking.  My legs felt pretty beat.  When I got home I rolled and stretched out my legs.  I

I thought about running a 10k this morning but decided against it last night. I don't think I've been eating enough. I feel my runs are suffering. Now that I'm adding more miles and strength training I need more calories. I ran a very slow 6 miles.

I met the group at the church on 12400.  After a quick one mile warm, we started into the workout.  We did a lot of hill repeats and several intervals with short recoveries.  Average pace 8:19

I met the group at Bingham.  Jeff joined us today.  We warmed up for a mile.  Then we started our workout in the neighborhood just South of the school.  We ran several different timed intervals with active recovery between.  Then we ran the new SJ 5k route.  We decided to run that 3 minutes hard and 2 minutes easy.  When we got back to the cars, I decided to run one more mile on the track.  I felt good today and pushed myself pretty hard.  Average pace including the slow recovery parts 8:16.

I must admit I really like running these slow runs.  It's easy to keep the pace at 9:30 - 10:00 for the first two miles, but after after that I have to keep reminding myself to slow down.  It was a beautiful morning.  Average pace 9:19.  I did the lower body strength training warm up before I ran.  After I did stretching and upper body weights.  I can definitely tell my arms getting more toned.

I ran with Angela and Celeste on the JRP.  I got there a little early so could run a slow warm up mile.  I really needed that.  My knees felt so stiff when I first started.  We ran out 5 and back.  There was a really strong head wind on the way back.  The trail was really crowded this morning.  There was a lot of bikers and also a race going on.  My splits for the 10 miles were 8:25, 8:06, 8:00, 8:05, 8:09, 8:34, 8:08, 8:24, 8:28,  and 8:15.  Average 8:16
