I met the BBK's at the church on 11400 and 3100.  We did 3 easy miles, 6 tempo miles and 2 more cool down miles.  I didn't sleep much at all last night.  I did feel pretty good on the tempo.  I pushed hard and my legs were very tired for the last mile.  I ran the tempo with Cheris and Dean joined us for the last mile.  My splits were 7:43, 7:23, 7:30, 7:33, 7:33, and 7:06.  Average pace 7:28.  Thats a minute faster than the same tempo run earlier this month.

I met the BBKs at Daybreak to run the SJ half mararthon course.  The plan was 2 miles warm up, 5 miles MP tempo, 1 recovery mile, 5 MP tempo miles and 1 mile cool down.  I felt really good.  My miles are way lower than they should be this week.  I will probably really regret that during the marathon.  My splits today were (9:14, 9:12) (7:43, 7:43, 9:22 (we had to run in the pitch black on a dirt path that was very rocky.  we walked a lot so we wouldn't roll our ankles.) 7:45, and 8:04) (8:57 recovery)  I accidentally stopped my watch from miles 8-9.3 so the next tempo miles arent very accurate, but the ones I have were  7:22, 7:16, 8:11 and a cool down mile of 9:13.  Average pace for the 12.7 I have record of was 8:21.  Then I joined some of the others  for breakfast at Village Inn.  I went straight to my sons football game.  We lost, but my son did get the only touchdown for his team.  That was so fun to see.

Taylor came home for the weekend.  I was so happy to have her home.  She was supposed to run 50 minutes today.  Her ankle and shins were killing her, so we ended up turning around early.  I hope she can those healed up soon.  After we got home, I ran another 6 miles on my own.  Average pace 8:48.

The group was meeting at Butterfield Canyon this morning.  I would've loved to have gone, but It's too far to drive to be back before my kids leave.  So, I decided to to the Boston simulator workout on the treadmill.  It was tough, but not too bad.  I watched Soul Surfer. It was a crazy busy day at work.

I met the group at Riverton High.  I got there a little early and ran around the parking lot for about 6 minutes.  Then I did the early miles with the group before we headed over to the track.  The plan was 8 x 800's.  I seriously don't know what my problem is, but I have not been able to run 800's anywhere near where I used to 2 years ago.  I hope that is not an indication of what is going to happen in the marathon.  The first 5 x 800's were 3:41, 3:40, 3:38, 3:39, and 3:32.  I quit hitting my lap button after that.  I'm just frustrated.  I cooled down until I hit 10 miles.

The BBK's were meeting at Dimple Dell this morning to run 22 miles.  I mentioned to Kelli that I needed to start early so I could get to my sons 9:00 football game.  So this morning at 4:45 Kelli sent me a text saying she was on her way to meet me at the Kmart.  It  sounds silly, but I actually teared up a little thinking what an awesome friend she was to do after she just ran 25 miles yesterday.  Seriously Kelli is amazing.  I was so grateful for the company.  She ended up running the whole 22 miles with me.  I can't thank her enough.  My legs were tired from the beginning.  Average pace 8:53.

Met the group at the West Riverfront parking lot.  First 4.5 miles were an easy warm up at an 8:50 pace.  Then we did 1 miles repeats up and down Parkway Palisades with a short recovery on the side street. I did 3 of the mile repeats, then I ran to the bathroom, came back and did one more, then ran back to my car.  I didn't do a very good job keeping track of my repeats, but I'm happy with where I was compared to the where the speedy people in the group were.

I had a hard time convincing myself to get out the door. Once I did it was a nice and easy 3 miles.

I was really looking forward to our 8 mile tempo run today, but it didn't end up like I'd hoped.

I met the group at 10200 S. and 2200 W.  We warmed up for 3 mile at a 9:00 pace.

For the tempo we went a little different route than usual.  We ran through neighborhoods South of 9800 until just before Bangerter then we got back on 9800.  We ran up and around the little park then came back the same way.  I felt really good the first couple of miles.  I used the POP at about mile 3 and my stomach was hurting a bit.  My 4 uphill miles were 8:02, 7:51, 8:16, and 7:55 (32:05)  I knew I could make up some good time on the way back, but stomach started really hurting.  My downhill miles weren't anywhere near where they should have been.  Oh well.  I did what I could to make it back to my car.  The final 4 miles were 7:43, 7:55, 7:52, and 8:05.  Average for the tempo a sad 7:58.  I felt sick all day at work.

Once again, I did not want to get out of bed this morning.  I finally pulled myself out of bed and enjoyed a nice and easy 4.5 miles.  Avg pace 9:37.

I had to get my son to Magna by 8:00 this morning, so I decided to do my long tomorrow.  I ran 2 easy miles at home before I left.  After we got Austin to the football field I had an hour to kill.  I ran 2 miles on the streets, but I was getting a little nervous from all the mean looking dogs that kept barking at me.  So, I ran to Cyprus High and ran 2 miles on the track and then ran back to the game.  Average pace 8:43.  We lost by 1 point. :(  I enjoyed a yummy dinner at Red Iguana that night.  I ate way too much, but it was so good.

It was so nice to sleep in a little before my run today.  I started at the trail.  It was very chilly and I'm glad I had my arm warmers on.  I ran an easy warm up mile, then I wanted to run 5 marthon paced miles.  I slowed down for the next 2 miles, then I decided I wanted to see if I could run the whole 13 miles in 1:45 which would be just short of the marathon pace I want.  I was very happy with my effort.  I finished in 1:45:41.  Average pace 8:08.  Miles were 9:58, 7:57, 8:03, 8:09, 7:53, 7:37, 8:34, 8:42, 7:25, 8:05, 8:06, 7:47 and 7:28.

I think Scott made Jerry feel guilty, because he decided to run with me today.  I love when he runs with me.  We started slow, but had to pick up the pace for the last 4 miles to make it back in time.  Average pace 8:57.  It was very windy and kind of chilly.

I met the group at O'Roi Hardy park.  We warmed up for 3+ miles and got back a few minutes late.  Luckily Cheris was in charge so they couldn't start without us.  It was very chilly on the trail this morning.  We warmed up for another 1/2 mile.  Then we started a backwards ladder.  6 minutes on/6 off, 5/5, 4/4, 3/3, 2/2, and 1/1.  The plan was to run little faster each set.  The last one minute on was pretty much a full out sprint.  Then I cooled down for a mile with Michelle Campbell.  Average pace 8:59.

I met the BBKs at the SJ soccer fields.  For the early miles, we did 3 easy miles.  Then we ran slowly to the road by Redwood so we could do a 5 mile tempo run.  I ran the tempo with Cheris and Dean.  We caught up to Michelle M. about 2 miles in and she ran the rest with us.  We decided sometime during the 3rd mile that a 4 mile tempo sounded like plenty.  We were all tired.  So at 4 miles, we started cooling down until we hit 9 total miles.  My tempo miles were 7:58, 7:28, 7:22 and 7:12.  This is my last speed work before the marathon.

I needed to get Austin to Riverton Park for his 9:00 football game by 8:00.  I ran 2.5 miles then came home and picked up Austin.  I dropped him off at the park, then ran over to meet Cheris at her house.  We ran a very hilly 6 miles.  My splits were 9:32, 9:02, 9:35, 8:51, 8:27, 8:16, 7:54, 8:23, and 8:26.  Average pace 8:44.

I got my number for St. George.  It is 5159.  I thought the number sounded oddly familiar, so I checked to see what my number was last year.   It was 5159!!!!  I had a horrible race last year, so this year is going to be my redo.  I have a good feeling about this.  :)

Taylor is running her longest race ever right now in California.  It's the Stanford invite and it's a 6k.  I'm crossing my fingers she's having a good race.

I met the BBK's at RHS at 6:15.  I actually got there about 5 minutes early and warmed up a bit.  Then we ran 2 miles on the road before heading to the track.  We ran 4 laps with fast 200's.  Everything felt good.  Then I cooled down until I hit 4 miles.
