I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

2.5 on the treadmill because it was raining. I was dying of the heat so went outside and ran another 4.5 up 9800 S and back. Enjoyable and felt great. Left the Garmin home today so no pace. Treadmill pace was around 9:00 so lets go with that:)

6 mile loop up 9800 S, 1300 W, back down 9000 S and to 500 W. Felt better than I have felt in a LONG time. Garmin was dead...AGAIN so not sure of pace but it felt faster but easy. Ahh, it must be coming back.

Up 9800 to 1300 and back and then did it again but not quite to 1300 to get 7. Didn't feel real peppy this morning dangit. For every good day, a bad one follows. AP 9:00

Treadmill again...7 in an hour. Most of my miles were at 8:27 pace, but the first couple were a little slower. Got pretty darned tired around 45 minutes in.

2.5 on the treadmill at a comfy 9:00 pace. Went down to the trail and ran 2 more at 8:45ish and then another 1 at 8:50 and the last 1/2 at 7:50 pace. The last 1/4 I really picked it up and felt like I might puke, but didn't.

6 treadmill miles. Kept it nice and slow today so I have energy for a longer run tomorrow. 9:30 AP. This pace felt really good and comfortable. Didn't even feel like I was breathing.

Big loop through Riverton and Bluffdale at 6:00 am by my lonesome. Stopped at Walmart for a potty and drink break. Saw Julie at 5.5, ran with her down 12600 to trail and out to 14400 and had my daughter pick me up. Progressive pace starting at 9:50 and ending at 8:50ish...overall pace 9:12. Felt super but was way tired the rest of the day.

Fun, sweaty treadmill miles. Had a couple of quicker miles, but all in all, very comfortable. AP just under 9:00

4 up 9800 S. to 2700 and back. Legs were tight on the way out but felt awesome on the way back. Pace for up hill on the way out 9:15. Pace for down on the way back 8:30. All in all a great run and a great Monday:)

One of "THOSE" days! Charged my ipod last night...didn't charge, charged my Garmin...didn't charged, went to bed early and ate great yesterday and I didn't charge! No umph today at all. Don't know what my pace was, but I'm guessing around 9:30.

Ran to the trail and south to 4 miles and back. I felt fantastic and did a bit of a progressive tempo...it wasn't super fast but all 8 miles were under 9. AP 8:40. Last mile was the fastest at 8:25 and it is all uphill.

Same as yesterday, only turned around 3 out. I felt really good at first and pace felt easy, but started feeling a lot harder at the end. AP 8:30

Went down to JRP in Bluffdale. My goal was to keep it really comfortable and recover so I can have some energy for 12 tomorrow. My first 2 were faster than I would have like (8:50ish) even though that felt comfortable and effortless. I turned around and it wasn't hard to slow down because the wind was blowing soooo hard. My AP ended up being 9:00 and the miles in the wind were tough.

Didn't get much sleep last night, but still got up at 5:30 to meet Eric, Aaron and company for a nice run. We drove out to Copperton and ended near the District. Mostly a downhill run with a few rollers here and there. I really liked this and think it will be a good downhill training run.

I started way too fast (8:00) and held between 8:00-8:30 for the first 8 miles. At that point Aaron sped up and I ran with a guy I didn't know. He was planning on 15, but the pace was a little fast for him the whole time so he called it quits at 13 with me. We slowed a bit, but still kept it under 9. AP 8:30.

I felt really good all day and I'm not sore. Was worried I had pushed a little too hard, but I guess not. So, I like running with people a little bit, but I tell ya, I really enjoy doing my own pace...I think I listen to my body a little more and am smarter when I'm not trying to run someone else's pace.

4 out from work down to JRP and south and back. Started really sluggish...legs were tight and heavy, felt better around mile 3 and got into a rhythm. My miles were meant to be comfortable today. 9:26, 9:29, 9:21,9:10, 9:00,8:40, 8:51,8:56 - AP 9:07

I needed this slower paced day. I've been trying to prove to myself that I can run fast and keep forgetting that recovery is soooo important and that I  am just base building right now.

Ran from work down 9800 S. to JRP. Mile 1 & 2 warm-up 8:56, 9:03. Did 4 - 800 repeats with 400 recovery. I kept all 4 around 7:30 pace. Recovery for about 1.75. AP 8:29...definitely need to do some speedwork. My legs forget how to move fast.

PM - Did some plyometrics, band resistance, and abs in the evening. My legs were dead at the end. Stretched really good and rolled them out.
