Long-Term Running Goals: Keep running.
When I started running my wish that turned into a goal was to qualify for Boston. Just so I could say "I qualified for Boston."
AFTER BQ, I think I will do some Tri events. For sure some Half Ironman events, and see where that takes me. Personal: Married to Kelly (with a 'Y')

Its been awhile since I posted, so thought I would put a new entry in. Kelly and I will be running this evening. I think I will try and get some hills in. Good luck to everyone in SG this weekend. I look forward to seeing the reports!

| Kelly and I got out kinda late. 9:30 PM or so. Overall felt good. I can tell I have had some serious amount of time off. Legs are tired. But good to be out running again. :-) Have a great day!

| Kelly and ran down into some housing area in Lehi that she had not been in before, looked like a gated community. Turns out to be a nice neighborhood. Had some good uphill sections. I think I would like to find a route that includes this area, and use it to see improvement. Enough uphill and down that will make for decreasing time a challenge after awhile. |

| A little more exploring around NE Lehi. There is a new trail, much like JRP that crosses 1200 W. Goes up to Alpine Hwy. I hope that it will someday connect to JRP. Would make for some nice long, no car trails! |

| Went 1.75 miles with the kids in the morning, the 5 miles with Kelly at night. Kelly and I ran 2.5 from the house up Suncrest and turned back home. This will be another that I will start to use to see improvement.

| Kelly and I did some cross training at home. Got the exercise ball out and did crunches and planks, then did some plyometrics (don't know if I spelled that correct). Those kill me! Then did lunges and another ball exercise. That last one is tough. Laying on the ball forearms on the ground, hips on the ball, feet spread and toes touching the ground. Keeping legs straight I had to lift them up and as high as possible and then bring them together above and behind me and touch heels. Wow that takes some strength. I feel like such a wimp. Kelly knocks these things out like its nothing and I would like to just die. Arms are tired from the dips. I think I should put that off until well into the summer when I don't have these extra winter pounds. :-) Have a great day, and weekend.

| Kelly and I ran with her friend Deb. We started off thinking we would run 8 miles on streets, but then we all thought it would be fun to try some trails. Wellllllllll, we started up this trail and Deb said we can take this to the top of Suncrest, then have a nice downhill back. In the middle and as far as I was concerned to far in to turn back (I thought we were headed to the top of Suncrest THE ROAD, turns out Deb meant a trail back) we encountered snow packed trails and fairly deep here and there. Big hills. I was looking forward to the road/street for the run back home. Finally got to the road, after doing some cross country. Noticed my watch had 2.14 miles on it. I'm slow, but I think that I covered MORE miles than 2.14 in that hour. So I reset my watch. Ran the roads back to the car and I had about 5.1 miles on that leg. So I decided that it had to be something close to the same on the out. Overall a good run. :-)

I don't know what to use for a conversion on the bike (actually spin) miles. Kelly
and I did the spin class at the fitness center, about an hour. Then ran a mile. Then did some
weights. Arm curls and dips. Then the dreaded planks. (I had some pulling in
the abdomen so I called that off.) (but then we both did an alternate tummy
burner.) Then we did three sets of 15 frog jumps (ply-o-metrics - not sure how
to spell that) Those kick my hinny BIG time. :-)

| Kelly and I ran the Spectrum 10k. Kelly did awesome. Bettered her last year time by 4 minutes. I think she has more speed in her. I started slower than last year, I don't feel like I am nearly as ready as I was last year, so I thought I should keep it easier at first and have some at the end. But like last year I still didn't have juice at the end. I did see a guy try and pass me in the finish shute, but I wasn't gonna let him by without a fight. I managed a dead sprint for the last 100 feet. :-) Good day!!! Got to run with my girl! :-)

| Kelly and I went for a easy "recovery" run. Went from our house, down to a new "trail" in Lehi. The trail (paved) runs from SR92 down to State St, following the railroad tracks. We picked up the trail at 1200 West. Ended our run at the Holiday gas station by I15. Was nice and easy pace, good miles, good running partner and good talk. :-)

| Ran to the fitness center (3 miles) met Kelly and ran (2.25) the indoor track while she lifted weights. First time running alone for awhile. Have been running with Kelly, averaging 25-30 miles a week and increasing. We both made it into SG, so we are following a 20 wk schedule for that training. We need to find some fellow Lehi-ans for some group runs. Hope all is well out here in FRB land. |

| Ran to the fitness center again by myself. Met Kelly there. She did weights. I had some fun letting a hill take me for a FAST 200 yrds or so. I think I was something close to 4:25 pace. (well that is what Garmin says that pace was) The hill is steep and I didn't want to loose control, but wanted to experiment with quicker turnover. I never felt out of control, so it was fun. Average pace was just under 8. Have a great day! :-)

Quick 3 miles before work. Will get some tonight with Kelly. I'm hoping I can start getting a morning run in, then run with Kelly in the eve. Hopefully I can pile on enough miles that I can be in somewhat ok shape for this running season that we are already well into.

Short 3 miles this morning before work. Plan to run with Kelly tonight. Working my way up to higher miles at a faster pace. I think I'll be up to 5 miles next week at 8 or better. Then this 3 miler should feel good at 7:50 or better. I hope anyway. Have a great day! :-) PM: Ran with Kelly to the Lehi LC. Took a longer more gentle route. Nice evening run.

| This route is my standard 3 mile route. I will increase to 4 or 5 next week. I look forward to running this route at a faster pace and not being as tired as I am. I know I need to increase my millage on this run to make the 3 miler easier. Felt a little tired from running last night, but nothing big. Maybe feeling a little more tired now that the run is over though. Have a GREAT day! :-)

Kelly and ran a loop over to Alpine, then back to Lehi Legacy Center. We got a late start and got to run in the heat. I think Kelly may have been a little dehydrated as well. Have a great weekend. :-)

AM: Ran 3 mile school route. I missed the morning run last week, so am
doing 3 this week and see if I can move to 4 next week. I'm hoping I
can increase my millage enough to have a good showing at SG this year.
Have a great day!
Will run tonight with Kelly. (yeah) PM: Ran with Kelly to the Legacy Center, thats 3 miles, then did 2 more miles on the indoor track, which to my surprise was cooler than outside. Usually those indoor tracks can't keep the A/C going good enough. Then we did some weights. Just arms though. Kelly had mercy on me.

Got out and ran again this morning. Planning on another run
tonight with Kelly. The two a days are taking there toll, its only 8
miles or so, but I'm feeling it. Mostly in the speed (or lack there of)
in the morning. I struggle to stay at 8 mpm. It will come. This is
only the 4/5 time this year I have been out trying to get faster speeds,
so I know that it will build. PM: Kelly ran Intervals (I stuck next to her, and paced/talked her through). 6x3min at 90-95% with 2:30 rest between. These were her first serious (timed) intervals. She did great. Those are hard work.

Kelly and I ran our long run in Idaho Falls. We took the family (mostly the oldest daughter) up to Rexburg to see BYU-I and her housing. We stayed the night in Idaho Falls and took in some fireworks and swimming at the hotel. Idaho Falls is beautiful. Our hotel was about 4 miles from the temple and the paths that go around the Snake river right there in front of the temple. So we ran up to the temple added some miles on the paths and ran back to the hotel. Nice run, we were treated to a cool (< 60 deg) day. (When you get to know Kelly a little better, you will know that anything less than 80 is COLD!) But I loved the cool temps. Nice run, GREAT company! Have a GREAT day! :-) <iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http://connect.garmin.com:80/activity/embed/39240048'></iframe>

Kelly and I started off our day with a nice flat land
run around our area. Followed the run with a set of strides. What a
beautiful day. We then took the family on a hike up the mountain.
Kelly's friend said the hike was about 1 mile and it turned out that
even when we called it good (short of the destination) that my Garmin
read 4+ miles. So more than double what we thought it would be. I ran
probably .5 miles up, turned and went back to the group. Hard running
up the side of a mountain. I don't know how those guys on this blog run
the mountains.
Have a GREAT day!

| AM: Got out this morning. Didn't want to. Thought
several times that I would just miss today. Talked myself into a short
jog, and once I got out there I knew I would do the planned run. So,
mental win for me today. :-) Was a short run anyway, but on tired legs
and mentally struggling I feel good that I got out.
Saw Smooth while I was out. Sure like seeing smiling faces!
Have
a GREAT day!

AM: Got out a little late. Ran my normal 3 mile route. Felt a little better than the last couple times out. Which surprised me, my legs have been feeling tight and feet sore. I was lacking on the energy today, but managed to have all three miles under 8 mpm. I think I will up to 4 miles soon. Have a great day! PM: Ran with Kelly. We did intervals (Those with warm up and cool downs were 5 miles). She did awesome. We went 3 min on, 2:30 off. I think we need to have less rest time. Maybe just increase the on time.

Ran the RHPC Half Marthon. Ran the whole thing with my sweetheart. Going up the canyon was fun, we got to talk to a bunch of people, Smooth, Kelli, LuzyLew, Erica, (Kelli's friend, don't remember her name), Marion, Maurine, Kellie, and MichelleL.....
I have to say, I have only read Twinkies blog, and I had never met him. But wow, he ran the first 3 + miles with his son and then turned on the heat. He passed us like we were standing still. Good job Twinkies! After the turn around we came down the first two miles or so to the first (or last going up) bathroom and I had to make a stop. I feel bad, Kelly was in a rhythm and she stopped and waited for me. I told her to go and see if she could catch Kelli and Friend but she did exactly what I would do and waited. That short stop got her cooled off just enough that she didn't get that "step" back. Oh well, it was fun, we saw and got to talk to some old friends and some new ones too. GOOD TIME!!! :-)

| Ran over behind Smiths, then ran the school route with Kelly. Did Strides for the last little way. Those things can be hard sometimes. I think they are good to help your body know it can go faster though. But they were hard, I think that last Fri when we did them we went to fast. I think I was sprinting. I don't think that is how strides are supposed to be done. Have a great day! :-)

Kelly and I rode our bikes to the legacy center, ran about 1.25 mile
warm-up, then did 6x3min intervals with 2 min rest between. Then rode
home. Intervals are hard work. I think that they are a great workout,
but HARD. :-) I jogged .25 miles after the intervals, then we rode our
bikes home. Legs are tired. :-)

Ran the school route this morning, nothing exciting about it. I
really need to get more consistent with getting out and need to increase
the # of miles I run in the AM. Hopefully both of those will start
happening.
Have a great day!

| Kelly and I ran from the top of Alpine Loop towards the Mt Timpanogos Temple. We got a late start and the heat in the valley overtook us, so we did the last 2.5 miles in the Lehi Legacy Center. Average pace for the whole thing was 9:45. I did run one of the miles at the Legacy Center at about 8 pace. Serious downhill this route. Kelly's foot is a little swollen just below the knuckle of the second toe. I'm worried its a stress fracture. Have a GREAT day! :-)

She was really sore from the downhill on Sat. Kelly's foot is still
hurting. If it swells up after this run, I think I will see if I can
talk her into taking the rest of the week off and see if she can heal up
a little. BUMMER if she is injured. :-) |

miles. Felt tired the WHOLE time. Legs felt like a ton of bricks. I
really had to mentally tell myself I could do it. I'll add some more of
some sort of cardio tonight. Probably bike some hard miles with
Kelly. We have determined that she most likely has a stress fracture at
the base of her second toe. :-( She isn't liking the fact that she
will have to take some time off from running.
I need to get some new shoes. These Nimbus push on my third toe on
the right foot and make it rub against the second toe. Today I got home
and had bled through my sock and I could see the blood on the outside
top of the shoe. :-( Only a little bit of pain, nothing that a band
aid won't solve until I get some new shoes.
Have a great
day!

| Put a band-aid on the toe, and hit the road. But that wasn't until I woke up late. So had to cut the run short. Ran part way up Suncrest, the uphill part I averaged 8:13, and the downhill part was 7:25. I felt really dizzy/sick after. Hummm. Have a GREAT day! :-)

AM: Ran up Suncrest. I think that will be my new measuring stick.
I'll see if I can increase pace and distance on that same route. On the
up part I was just over 8 mpm, then the down I was 7:15-7:20. On the
flat heading home I hit under 7 (6:55-6:57) for just about .5 miles.
That was nice to see on the watch. I kept the pace about 7:50 for the
last mile. (except for that fast part at the very beginning of that last
mile.) Will run some with Kelly again tonight. :) Have a
GREAT day! :-) PM: Tried a run with Kelly. Her foot is worse. I think she needs to stay off of it. We did get 3 miles together and I think she even averaged about 8:15 per mile. Her foot was throbbing with every step so she stopped and opted for weight lifting, while I finished 2 more miles. I finished those two miles with an average of about 7:40. There was about a half mile at 7:15 pace. That was good, but kinda was pooping out. Have a great night. |

Got a late start on the morning. When that sun comes up,
about 20 minutes after it is over the mountains it gets hot quick. Ran 5
miles. That will probably be all for the day. Legs were a little
tired after the 10 yesterday. Puts me at 21 for the week, I'll get 5
more tomorrow (planned easy miles). Then Kelly and I will put some
miles (25+) on the bikes. That will put me at 26 for the week, then
should have 18 on Sat. I feel the need to increase my weekday miles. Have
a GREAT day!

| Ran 3 miles up Suncrest then back home. My legs are TIRED! I hope I can get my long run in tomorrow. Not sure where I will run tomorrow, flat almost for sure. I better get out early too. The heat the last couple days has taken its toll on me. Have a GREAT day! :-)

| Ran on the JRP. Kelly rode her bike. Got out WAY to late. I'm always amazed how the heat makes it a harder run. The first half of my run was nice, I felt good, then it kept getting hotter and hotter and hotter and ..... I was supposed to get 18, pulled up short, I think the heat and the fact that this week is about 10 miles more than previous weeks this year did me in. Feel like a looser, must get out earlier. Have a great day! :-)

| Ran over behind Smiths and then looped around the elementary school. Had one "warm-up" and one "cool-down" mile. Splits were 8:26, 7:41, 7:30, 7:43, 7:57, for a 7:53 average. I was glad I could get down under 8 for the whole thing. I have been feeling (today included) very tired. Legs have been feeling heavy and sluggish. Last night Kelly and I rode part way up AF canyon. We stopped 8 miles short of the top. Kelly rides that like it's a speed bump on a flat road. Such strong biking legs. Someday I want to be able to keep up with her on a bike. :-) Have a GREAT day! :-)

| Ahhhh, good run,
ok speed. 7 miles. Splits were 8:23, 8:04, 8:30, 8:14, 7:06, 8:00, 7:13
for a 7:56 average overall. Mile 5 was .60 downhill and .4 flat. Felt
good that I held close to 7, then mile 7 was flat with some rollers,
again pleased that I held a faster (for me) pace. Have a GREAT day! :-)

| I think its always cool when you can run someplace that seems like a long ways away. Started in Lehi, ran to Highland , then ran to Alpine, then ran to American Fork, then back to Lehi. 20 miles total, I know the cities are all right next to each other, but it just sounds cool to have run in and around 4 cities. Anyway, 20 miles avg pace was 9 flat. Legs were really hating this run. I don't feel like I am at all ready for this marathon. (SGM) I'll get another 20 and probably 18 in before the marathon and hopefully feel better about doing ok at SG. Have a great day! :-)

Ran from the house down Hwy 92, to Kohlers then to State St in AF, then to Target. Nice run. Glad I had Kohlers there, HAD to use the little boys room.
First three miles were slow and getting the legs warmed up, that took longer than I usual. The last 4 were faster. 7:56, 7:38, 7:09, 7:00, then cooldown for .5 at 8:15. Felt good to get some quicker miles in.
Have a GREAT day!

Ran up Provo canyon. This is two nights in a row that it took a long time to warm up the legs, and I never felt good going up at the beginning. Usually on this trail it takes 2 miles or so to warm up and then I'm at 8 min pace or better going up, then coming down I am in cruise control around 7, and have even hit 6:45 a few times on the down/out of the canyon part. BUT last night it was 8:40 or so going up and 7:18 down/out (last four were 7:16, 7:06, 7:07, 7:43). Feel like I'm spending a lot of time picking up heavy legs. Overall ok run.
Have a GREAT day!

Got up bright and early (for me, 4:30) and went on a bike ride with Kelly and her friend. We went up Suncrest. 13.5 miles on the bike, 1600 feet of elevation gain. My quads are tired. Kelly and Wendy went back for more, I wimped out and went home for a short run. Ran 3 miles. First mile was tough, the transistion is not fun. Managed a 8:26 first mile, then 8:10, then 7:52.
Good run, good to get out early!
Have a GREAT day!

Started at the house went behind Smiths and up the lower part of Suncrest then down towards the never ending drinking fountain. Wanted 8 miles, but was tooooo pressed for time, so turned at just over 28 minutes (3.52 miles).
Checking my splits, I feel ok about the run. I'm not in as good of shape as I was last year. One thing I have taken notice of is trying to push harder down hills/minor declines. I'm amazed at how much energy it takes to hold a fast pace. Saturday I had close to a mile at 5:50 or better. And part of that mile was at 5:00 (the watch blipped a couple times at 4:58 which made me smile.) Now I'm not fooling myself, that was a downhill stretch, but fun to see the (for me!!) really fast pace, and HARD to hold it. It amazes me how hard it was even downhill to hold that pace.
Anyway, have a great day!

Ran the same route today as Monday. Felt better, but not great. Came in with a overall faster pace. I think I may have been faster today had I not lifted weights last night with Kelly. Did a bunch of leg training and some arms/upper body weights. Feels good though. :-)
Have a great day!

Can I just say I don't do well in the heat.
The day started off ok, I was awake about 4:00, and wanted to sleep more. I layed there contemplating what material make up a pillow and how they impact how well I run. Just kidding, I was trying my hardest to lay there and get more sleep. :-)
I was ALMOST late to the busses. I got on the LAST bus! Bus 333. When I got off the bus I had enough time to throw my coat that I wasn't wearing in the bag pickup bag and throw that into the drop off truck, get to the line and 3-4 minutes later the gun went off. No waiting in the freezing cold hudled up next to a fire for me. Oh wait, I don't think anyone had to do that, because it was 10000 deg out there.
First few miles went as planned. 8:26, 8:25 for the first two, then 7:50-7:55 for the next few. Got to Veyo feeling ok, worring a lot about the hill section that is ahead. Tackled Veyo hill slower than I would have liked. Hills have been a BIG mental problem for me this training year. I've found myself giving up easy on hills that I used to go up without problem.
That was in reality the beging of the end. I hear people talk about the "death march" in the final 2-3 miles, mine started about mile 17.
My plan was to take the first part easy and try and let the momentum of the hills on the second half take me to a good negative split. About mile 17 I could tell I was NOT gonna make good on the plan.
A friend of mine found me about mile 17, he was strugling and I was strugling so we just finished together.
I think this was a good race from the point of view that I learned. And what I learned was that I need to train better. I have been a huge slacker in the training. Running 4 days a week at most, weekday miles of 3-7, walk breaks = poor performance on race day. I guess I have been learning (last year and this year) that I can't be upset with my performance on race day if I don't put the effort in with training.
I really enjoyed seeing Tyler and Kellie, Scooby, and another friend of mine Troy out on the road, Kelli and Scott in the finisher area. I enjoyed the sprayers/mysters and the wet towels.
I finished a marathon. One of these days I will be serious about training. And then I'm sure I will be joining a lot of you guys in Boston!
Have a great day!

I forgot my car keys in Kelly's car, and she went to work in SLC. So I got to ride my bike to work, saw Smooth on the way out. 14.5 miles to work average speed of 16 mph.
Got home from work and took the family to the rec center for some exercise. Ran 4 miles. 2 slow with Zane, then 2 a little faster. First time running since marathon. I found it somewhat hard to hold 8 min pace. I'll go out running Wed.
Have a great day!

| Ran the elementery school route. I only had time for 3 miles, but figured it would be nice to get out and stretch the legs. I couldn't ever get that deep deep breath. It felt like I was in the warm up mile the whole time. :-( Hate when that happens. Have a great day! :-)
