Easy run today around the CT. A lot of people out and about today. The day was great so I don't blame them.

Woohoo! Ran 5 days this week. Ran an out and back past Home Depot. The wind was rough from the south. Picked it up on the way back. Last mile was 5:57. 6:56 av/mile for the run.

Just an easy 5 miles today. Looped around CVHS and back to the house. The weather was perfect mid morning today. Didn't push the pace at all just a nice relaxed jog. Running time was 37:54

Warmed up 3.3 miles then did a 3 mile tempo down the trail. Ended up with a 17:28 for 3 miles. Splits were 5:49,5:51,5:48. Glad I kept it pretty consistent but I'm not too happy about the time. I guess I'll take it for where I'm at and considering this is my first tempo run I've done this year. Jogged 1.75 miles for a cool down.

Clinical at the hospital then straight to work so no run today. Thank goodness, cause the winds blowing like 50 mph right now.

Just an easy jog in the snow. I love Cedar where you can go from running in the 70's at the beginning of the week, to 30's and snow just a few days later. I ran the CT today with a few fartlek's in there. I'm actually running a race tomorrow. So I'm a little nervous and feeling underprepared, so hopefully it'll turn out alright. I'm not shooting for any PR's by any means.

Run 4 Kids 5K in Coral Canyon. 2 mile warm then over to the race. I almost missed the start. Weather wasn't the greatest, cold and rainy. Gun went off and a high school kid took off pretty quick so I just hung back and waited. About a mile and a half into it I caught him then passed him. I looked back with a mile to go and saw he was still pretty close, so I pushed it hard up the hill the last mile, and put a pretty big gap on him. Happy with the win and the time, considering I haven't trained real consistently this year. I feel kind of guilty, I wish I had more time to train cause I feel there is still a lot of untapped potential in me. cooled down a little more then a mile, collected my award( thanks Steve!) and was home before 10.

First 6am run of the year. CT 6.05. The weather was a bit cold but good. It was nice to get out and get it over with early.

 

PM- 3 more miles @ 2pm in 20:28. Got things off to a good start this week.

Just over 7 today. Wal-Mart loop extended. Stepped on a fetchin nail. A little over a mile into the run. It broke the skin so I stopped and bled it for a sec, and then pressed on. It's a good thing I've had a tetanus shot recently. Not bad weather for a run today. A bit windy. 6:55 av/mile.

Track workout today. The plan was my usual spring time intervals of 1x1600M, 2x800M, and 4x400M. I did a two mile warm up and then right into them. The splits were.

1600- 5:32

2x800- 2:38, 2:37

4x400- 1:10, 1:11, 1:13, 1:11

Overall I feel ok with this workout. The wind picked up  a bit during the 800's and I've got about 5 or so pounds to lose before I'm back to my ideal running weight but it was a good workout. I jogged half the distance of each interval for rest in between. Then cooled down a mile and a half afterwards.

Ran the dirty dike loop for the first time this year. The weather was awesome. Perfect temps and no wind. I just kept the pace nice and relaxed. Finished at a 7:15 av/mile. Real nice day for a run.

Real nice run today. Ran my out and back Home Depot run. Felt real light on my feet and never really felt like I was laboring too much. The weather was perfect. Temps, wind, sun, everything. Perfect day for a run. 6:51 av/mile

Tempo Run today. Warmed up 3.3 then ran the CT  for 3 miles. Time for 3 miles was 16:51 (5:41, 5:34, 5:35). Big improvement from 2 weeks ago. Another great morning today. The weather has been real nice lately.  I hope it stays like this. 1.7 mile cool.

Great day today. I ran the Sunset Canyon+ Dirty Dike+ CT today. I just felt like my energy level was consistant and that I was able to hold a good pace throughout. I ran the last 2 a little more up tempo in 11:55. Finally feel like the mileage is where it should be for this time of year.

Pretty good workout today. Did a 2 mile warm up then went to the SUU track for some intervals. Same workout as 2 weeks ago. 1x1600, 2x800, and 4x400 with half the distance of each rest in between jogging. Splits were:

1600m- 5:25

800's- 2:34, 2:33

400's- 1:10, 1:10, 1:10, 1:10

Yeah so as you can see on those 400's I was pretty consistent. Probably the most consistent I've ever been in any interval workout. Interestingly enough, the first and 2nd 400m I ran were the exact same time right down to the last hundredth  of a second. It felt good to get out today and get some quick turnover in the legs. I felt like I got a real good workout out of this.

No clinical today so I thought I'd take advantage of the weather and go for just a little run. The calves are pretty stiff today. Took the pace nice and EZ.

Finally getting to my race report the Monday after. Ran the ROTC 5K. Pretty tough course. I thought it would be up and back on the trail but they looped it up onto a dirt road and then ran back down the trail. At mile 2 I thought what the heck am I doing. The wind blew like crazy and temps were only in the high 30's. A few SUU XC runners were there so it was nice to have some competition. 1st was 16:42, 2nd was about 10 seconds behind, 3rd was 17 flat then me. Splits were 5:40, 5:55, 5:29, .1- 25 seconds. I was actually surprised I ran a sub six on that second mile cause it was a tough one. Good race though and happy with the time for where I'm at.
