I got to help with the registration again this year.  It was a really nice day and I felt pretty good the whole race.  They changed the course at the end this year so that it started and finished at the same spot.  Everyone had the course a little long, but I wouldn't have had a PR anyway.  I really love this race.  The organizers do an amazing job.  I even got a medal for 2nd place in my age group.  My splits were 7:34, 7:22, 7:25, 7:43, 8:05, and 7:43.  After the awards, I ran 4 more miles with Cheris, Michelle M., Dean and Scott.

My alarm went off this morning and as I was lying in bed I faintly heard my phone beep in the other room.  I got up and had a text from Cheris asking if I wanted to run.  It worked out perfect and I had time to meet her and Michelle M. at the high school for 11 miles.  It was a little overcast and muggy, but I was glad to have the company.  Average pace 9:14.

I met the group at RHS. After staying up late watching fireworks, I didn't quite make it up in time to run to the school. We warmed up for about 4 miles, then we went to the track. We did some speed changes and then we did 4 x 800's with a slow recovery lap between each one. My 800's were 3:23, 3:23, 3:37 and 3:33. I was talking to Lisa on the 3rd one and didn't push as hard as I should have. Then we ran off the track until I hit 10. It was a long long long day at work.

I met the group at the SJ soccer fields.  We warmed up for 4 easy miles.  Then we did a 4 mile tempo run (it was really more of a progressive run).  Those miles were 8:27, 8:10, 7:45 and 7:15.  Then 3 easy miles to cool down.   My left knee started hurting really bad after the tempo, but it seemed okay after a mile or so of the cool down.

Cheris and Michelle M. were running the SJ 1/2 marathon today.  Lisa and I ran 2 miles before, then we ran the race course with a different start and finish.  It's a good course.  Next year I will have to sign up for it.  Then I cooled down for 2 more miles.  Average pace 9:00.

I met the group at the church on 10200 and 40th.  I got there late and only got 2 miles of the early miles in.  We then did some speed changes and then a 4 mile tempo run.  The tempo miles were 7:20, 7:04, 7:47 and 7:37.  I ran the 2nd mile too fast and kind of died when we turned into the wind on the third mile.  I finished with 3 more miles.

I met the group at Bingham.  After the warm up we went over to Rustic Roads.  We were supposed to keep track of the times from the 400's and 800's and compare them in a month or so.  I didn't.  My knee was really sore for the first 2 miles, but it felt fine after that.  Average pace 8:47.

Austin had his last track meet at East High this morning.  We had to leave way too early, so I didn't get to run WB with Cheris. :(  I did get a 6 mile run in with Jerry.  Average pace 8:56.  Austin did great and took 3rd in the 100.  He also did the long jump and did awesome.

This run really sucked.  I decided to run 8 miles and loop back to my house so I didn't have to carry as much water/gatorade.  That part was ok.  A slow 9:27 pace.  I had a car come towards me and I had to jump on the curb.  Then another car did the same thing not 5 minutes later.  Maybe it was that, or maybe I was just bored, but I decided to get on the treadmill when I got back to my house.  I ran the most long and boring 8 miles there.  Not the 18 I wanted, but oh well.

I met the BBK's at RHS.  We warmed up for a little over 3 miles.  Then we went to the track.  We did a couple of laps with fast straights and slow curves.  Then the main workout:  We did 10 x 400's with 200 m recoveries.  My 400's were:

1. 1:38, 2. 1:42, 3. 1:40, 4. 1:43, 5. 1:39

6. 1:41, 7. 1:39, 8. 1:46, 9. 1:41, 10. 1:41

I don't know if that is a good pace for me or not.  Each time I ran the 400 I would think about my daughter Taylor and wonder how in the world she could run that in 56 seconds.  She does not get her speed from me.  Her dad is a much better sprinter.

I met the group at the church on 2200 W and 9800 S.  We did a 3 mile warm up at 9:41, 8:54, and 8:31.  When the rest of the group arrived we started the run up 9800 S. to 4800 W. and back.  The first mile was 8:49.  Then we were supposed to do a 5 mile tempo run.  Those miles were 8:18, 8:17 8:11, 7:39, and 7:51.  Then a cool down of 8:41 and 9:04.  Average pace 8:33.

I met some of the group at Dimple Dell to run WB.  It was perfect running weather.  I've decided I need to start the run a few minutes early so I can warm up at a slower pace.  Maybe I'm just getting old, but lately it takes me a good three miles to get warmed up.  I felt ok on the first half but not great.  We ran mile 9 up Little Cottonwood again.  Then we turned around.  At mile 12 I was pretty much on my own.  I was able to catch up to Dean and Michelle M. just as we turned off Wasatch but that took too much energy and they soon left me again.  It was a good run.  My miles were 9:18, 8:49, 8:45, 8:47, 9:28, 9:07, 8:20, 9:05, 8:52, 8:10, 8:18, 9:05, 7:55, 7:27, 7:59, 8:33, 8:16, and 8:54 as my cool down mile.  Avg pace 8:38.

As far as running goes, I felt good.  I had to stop 4 times to use the bathroom.  Not fun.  Average pace 8:52.

My plan was 16 miles with 12 miles at marathon pace.  I was on my own today.  I started at O Roi Hardy park.  I ran an easy 3 miles North on the trail until 10600.   I turned around and started the marathon paced run.  I ran at the way to 14400 and turned around.  The trail is under water at 12600, so on the way back I run up by the pool and up to 1300 w. and back to trail until I hit 15 miles.  Then I cooled down for 1 mile.  Avg pace for the easy miles 9:30.  Avg pace for the 12 marathon pace miles 7:56.  It was a little harder than I was hoping it would be, but I'm glad it's done.
