Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy!

Would like to BQ - need to shave 23 minutes off PR.

 

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')

Did what has become my normal run.  An out and back from my house to the mouth of Provo canyon, up a little ways and back home.  I'm bracing for the pile on of miles this week.  (not that much for some of you, but 10 more than I have been doing.)

 

Have a great day!

Well, blah.  Have you ever had one of those days that it seems like your body just doesn't want to do it?  I feel like I haven't been running in a month.  It was all I could do to finish this morning.  Oh well.  Sometimes this happens.  I made it the planned distance, no where near the speed I should be running.  :-(

Have a great day, SMILE!

Dang, had I known I was .03 from .5, I would have gone in a couple circles to make it nice and even.

Ran from the house towards Provo canyon, then did a couple miles around the cemetery track.  

Feel a little better today, but still some YUCK in me.  My right achilies is acting up again, well, I should say it feels like my whole right leg is acting up.  Need to be better about stretching, espcially the ITB.

Ran with Scott and Kelli.  Went up Provo canyon.  The route was from Wills Pit Stop on Univ Ave in Provo to two miles up South Fork.  Can I just say, Kelli and Scott are so dang STRONG.  Scott ran like 22 or 23 miles to my 20, Kelli has planter fasciitis, and she stuck right there with Scott and I the whole way.  I wish I was good as either of them!

Good run, overall pleased with the time.  I forgot to get GU or anything so I was running on just water.  LUCKLY my Kelly was out on her bike and came to my rescue.  She hooked me up with some gels and that got me to about mile 18.  I would have died if I didn't have that.  The last two miles were just gut check time.  I slowed.  :-(  Really I guess I slowed the last 3 miles.  (8:00, 7:58, 8:01)  The 6 miles prior I averaged 7:40 pace. (7:16, 8:07, 7:46. 7:50, 7:37, 7:24)

Time: 2:45:26
Avg Pace: 8:24 min/mi

 

Hope everyone got some good runs in!  Thanks Scott and Kelly for running with me!  And thanks to my Kelly for rescuing me!


Have a great day!
