Met near my house at a church with the BBK runners.  I did a 3 mile warmup and then they planned a 6 mile tempo run but I didnt have time so I cut it to 3 miles. I guess I did more of a progressive run than tempo. I did a 6:01, 5:51, 5:34. Legs are still tight as can be. I feel better though from yesterday.  Got to see Becca for the first time in a while. Nice to see her out doing the BBKing! lol I talked with Dean and found out his son is in my ward now. He bought the house that I owned the lot on from back in 2004. I also talked a bit with Rachel who is ramping up the miles this week! Good run!

I ran 6 miles on my lunch break around Liberty park. 4 loops on the wood chips and then an extra .25 to hit 6. Very hot! 

I biked to the trax line and then from the trax line to my house. 10 miles total.

Started at 5 and it was dark till about 6:30.  Good run, Good friends and fun! lol

Went with Misty to my favorite course for a long run to mimick the St. George marathon course. It starts at the Capitol and you run the horseshoe to 11th ave then East to Shriners Hospital and then back to City Creek canyon and up to the top then back down to the Capitol. I ran alone and by the time I hit the canyon the sun was up so I made my way up it and there wasnt anyone up there which was odd because there are usually tons of runners and bikers up it on Saturday early.  Going up was 2000' incline and I was averaging about an 8:15 pace. Coming down I hit my last 7 miles in: 6:15, 5:40, 5:52, 5:55, 5:44, 5:43, and 5:23. It was colder up the canyon which I love so I didnt feel any fade like I do with the heat.

Ran with Danielle this morning. Talked about St. George Marathon and where we are going to stay and whether or not to take vacation to Lake Powell together. Its hard to schedule multi families vacations, but we will see. May even go to Sand Hollow after for a few days instead. Ran at park for lunch 6 miles.  

10 mile bike ride home.

I ran up to Danielles house and we ran 14 miles together.  We made our way around the lake and up to Herriman area on the  SoJo marathon course and then back home.  On my way back home I went to use a porta potti off the side of the road by Daybreak and walked in on a construction worker taking a dump and saw way to much! I have been washing my eyes several times today and still cant get it out of my mind! Ewww!

I was installing bike racks up by Sugarhouse park today so I decided to run the park for my lunch break. I ate my lunch at 10 am while I was "working" and then at 11:30 I ran the park. Pretty hot but nice. No shade like Liberty park.  

I rode to Trax and then Trax to home saves about 11 miles of biking into a headwind. am I a wuss? Nahh!

Ok I felt guilty for wussing out so I did another 8.25 miles of running tonight from my house up around Daybreak Lake and back.

I went down to LifeTime Fitness parking lot and met the bbk runners and I ran from my house there and got 4.25 miles. We did a short half mile run over to our spot for the 1 mile repeats and I got 3 of them in before I had to leave. I did 5:50, 6, and 5:54. I did a 2 minute rest in between. I got a total of 9 miles this morning.

I did 6 miles at Liberty Park for my lunch break and warmed up 2 miles and then did 2x1 mile repeats. I did a 5:34, and a 5:24 with a 2 minute rest in between.  Then cool down to make the 6 miles. 

I biked 10 miles home from work to Trax and Trax to home.

Woke up later than I wanted to but got out at 6:15 and ran 12. I was supposed to meet Danielle and thought I hosed her but when I got home I noticed her text saying she slept in till 7 so we hosed each other. It was nice out this morning and I ended up doing 3 miles tempo in 5:55, 5:44, 545.  I would like to run SGM in 5:45 pace for the first half if its in the cards and then see if I can negative split.
