Ran 3 miles up 4800 and back, this allows me to get the hang of a downslope run to get ready for marathon.  Felt good.  Time 22:19

Well I did miss yesterday but I got some basketball in.  Today it was cold 29 degrees, my legs never really got going, it was just slow.  I do feel better though that I actually got up and ran. 

Ran 4 miles at lunch with Andy.  Ran easy just felt good to get out in some warmer weather, 48 degrees.  Legs felt good we ran it in 32 min.

A little rainy this morning but not too cold, 37 degrees. It took my legs a good few miles to warm up before I felt like running but I'm trying to stay consistent on my running days. Time 29:33.

After a couple of weeks of slow running I felt like I wanted to get out there and see what I could do.  So I warmed up for a half a mile and stretched and then picked a two mile road to see how well I could do.  My first mile was windy, I'm a thin guy and I thought the wind was going to slow me down to much but I was able to come in at 6:45.  The nice thing was the next mile was at my back and I was able to drop it to 6:35.  I can only think the negative split was truly due to the wind.  I was however competely tired after those two miles. Someday I would like to be able to run that pace for a half marathon but that time will come slowly as I increase my mileage.

Got up and ran a mile and then played basketball with the guys from work.

Too much work, not enough time, no run today.

The guys from work have entered us into the Ogden Marathon relay so with just a month to go we wanted to see where our training was.  We ran 5 miles around the BDO, there was a strong wind so that affected miles 3 and 4.  Afterwards my calfs are so tight I've never had them feel so tight before.  Tomorrow will need to be an easy run. 36:00

Splits

1 - 6:50

2 - 7:20

3 - 7:10

4 - 7:35

5- 6:55

Ran 3 miles at lunch it was around 74 degrees and very windy, I felt like I was crawling into the wind but I made it.  Legs hurt after running hard last week, this week I will take it much easier.  Time 24:45

Ran this morning, not too cold around 50 and still windy.  The inside of my right knee is still hurting today, I really don't know why but it is just a bother.  I think I will give it a day to rest.

I had to fly to Boston on Sunday for work, I was able to catch a glimpse of the marathon.  Only ran 2 miles on the treadmill at the hotel.  Long work days and not much sleep.

It has been a long week here in Boston, long working days with little time to escape.  I managed to get 3 miles in before work this morning. 

I was able to get a few miles in before we left for work.  Knee still bugs at times.

Back in Utah and the weather is much colder here.  Got up at 6 and ran 3 miles, a little chilly, just wore a long sleeve shirt and gloves.  Ran in 24 min not too fast but ok.  Felt tired.

I went out and bought some new shoes last night since my old pair were 2 years old, hopefully that will help witht he knee issue.  Until it starts to feel better I am just riding the bike.  Today I did 40 minutes.
