Stew's Corner

6.05 CT. Usual Monday morning run. Nice and cold out this morning, but I felt good none the less. I never really was stiff or sore from Saturday's race. Looking forward to some good weather this week.

PM- 5 more miles at about 2pm. Nice afternoon for a run. Temps were real nice. Ran the loop right around 35 min. 

HD loop today. 7 miles. Felt pretty good today. The weather was really nice this morning. Temps hovering just below 60 degrees. 6:57 av/mile.

Warmed up 3.3 miles then ran my usual tempo run. Did 3 miles worth in 16:25 (5:28, 5:30, 5:26). Took it out a little too fast at the start but was still able to maintain a solid pace till the end. I can tell I'm getting stronger as the weeks roll by. Hopefully I can get back up into the 60+ mpw schedule again by mid summer. Cooled down 1.7 back to the house.

No run today. Took my last final and celebrated by golfing 9 holes today. Beautiful weather out.

Ran my usual Friday dike loop run. Ran nice and EZ with no watch. The weather has been stellar this week.

15 miler today. Longest run of the year. Ran out around Westview Drive and Hamilton Fort then looped back up the frontage road. Ran an additional mile and a half around the neighborhood to make it 15. Felt pretty good, ran the last 7 miles all under 7 min. Felt pretty dead afterwards. Good end to the week though.

AM- 6.05 terrible miles on the CT. Started out at 6:30am with a light sprinkle which turned into a hard rain then hail then snow and wind. Was freezing and soaked from head to toe when I got back. I'll see if I can get out for more this afternoon but no guarantees. 

PM- 4.15, Well I did end up getting a second run in. The weather wasn't too bad. Just a little wet and soggy outside.

8.11 Sunset Canyon loop today. I felt really drained and like I didn't want to run much. I've been having some patellar pain so I bought a jump knee band and have been wearing it a bit. Seems to help some.

Real nice workout with Ryan this morning at the track. Plan was to do 1x1600, 2x800, and 4x400. Goals were to hit the mile between 5:15 and 5:20, the 800's around 2:30, and the 400's around 1:10. Splits were:

1600- 5:16

800's- 2:31, 2:29

400's -1:08, 1:08, 1:09, 1:08

Was right on for the goals. This morning was just what I needed this week being that I felt pretty tired and wore out at the start, there was a nice drizzle and not much  wind which made for a nice run. It was nice to run with somebody and chit chat. Makes for the work out to be a little more bearable. 

5 miles EZ. CVHS loop. Nice weather today. Hopefully spring is here to stay. Most likely not though.

8.4 dike loop. Had a real nice run today. Had my buddy Brady tag along with myself and another guy named Layne. Real nice morning for a run. We chit chatted the whole way and it seemed like the run was over before we knew it. 7:24 av/mile

Ran just over 12 this morning with Layne. A pretty good run. Started off feeling really slow and sluggish then got into a good groove around mile 7. Dropped the last mile a little quick(5:22). Finished with a 7:00 min/average for the whole run. Good finish to the week.

AM- 6.05 CT. Pretty good run. A little on the chilly side. Temps right around 44 degrees.

PM- Mowed some lawns then went 5.15 on my college/ CT loop. Wind was a howlin. 

Sunset canyon loop. Real disappointing weather today, cold and very windy. I guess that's what you get with Spring in Cedar.

I think I'm in the twilight zone right now with this weather. Got out the door by 7 and ran 2.6 to the top of main to do my old 4 mile tempo run down around 200 N. Just as I got started the weather started up. Mile splits were 5:39, 5:52, 5:46, 5:42. I feel pretty good about this considering how crappy the weather was during this run. Total tempo time was 23:01 with a 5:45 av/mile, so just above where I was shooting, but I'll take it. Cooled down 1.75 miles back home. I still can't believe the snow that is falling right now. Just turrible.

Recovery run today. Ran my college/CT loop mixed in there with my CVHS loop. Nice little run I made up today. Was able to get out before the rain started coming down. I feel like I'm in Seattle with the weather we're having. 7:26 av/mile.

AM- 10.15 miles in the morning after the rain. 7:00 min av/mile.

PM- 2 more afternoon miles just to get 12. 

8.15 today. CVHS/CHS loop. Nice morning for a run right after the rain. Kept the pace EZ. No watch. I wonder if the rain will ever stop.

Track workout today with Ryan. Not bad times, but I just didn't feel like I was 100% like I usually feel with track workouts. I felt like my breathing was out of control and like I couldn't get the turnover I wanted. Nevertheless it was a good workout and Ryan really improved from doing the same workout 2 weeks ago.

1600m- 5:14

2x800m- 2:28, 2:30

400m- 1:07,1:09,1:07,1:07

So not bad, there's some good speed in me I just need to learn how to harness it a little better. Thinking about some grass miles barefoot later tonight..... 

Recovery/Rest day. Just did a nice easy 5 this morning around CVHS. Surprisingly no soreness from yesterdays workout. 7:18 av/mile

Nice clip around town today. Felt pretty decent and the weather was perfect this morning. Legs had some pretty good juice in them today. 6:50 av/mile.

Ran just over 10 today. Ran into Ryan at just over 3 miles into it and ran the rest of the way with him. Another great morning for a run 7:07 av/mile

Nice Memorial run today. EZ pace with no watch. Had to make a couple potty stops which rarely happens. Good start to the week.

Sunset canyon loop. A bit chilly this morning. Should have worn gloves. Good run altogether.  7:27 av/mile.
