| I ran these miles at 8,000-8,500 ft. My calf was extremely tight so I just took it easy so I wouldn't reinjure myself. A lot of hills. |

The last half mile I just cooled down at 8:00 pace. It was a good run overall. I was able to 5-6 miles at marathon or faster pace. |

Dace and I ran 20 on the course this morning starting just north of Veyo to the park. We finished at 7:24 pace. The last mile was run at that pace. I don't know if I still had a 10K left in me, but I did do the speed work yesterday that probably cost me a bit. It was a confidence builder today, and my calf held up again.
Let's hope it all stays together and the stars line up come race day. |

I'll say they were all fast today because of the winds and the uphill parts. I did the 1st mile at 7:29, then 7:31, 7:37, 7:49, 7:46, 7:29, 7:30, 7:26, and 7:18. I had to really push on some of these miles. I was a little sore and winded from my run on Sat. on the course.
I'll be on the bike tomorrow. My legs need the rest. I'll go 20 on the bike. Wed. I'm planning on running 10 miles at marathon pace. |

| Nice easy run today. I ran the first mile at 7:55 to warmup. Then from there I slowly sped it up. I ran 7:45, 7:32, 7:21, and 6:56 thereafter. The only mile that was really a push was the last. Legs felt good mostly other than a slight twinge in my right calf that was injured about a month ago. |

Dace and I ran through Santa Clara, Ivins, and down Snow Canyon Pkwy. We kept it at a moderate pace most of the way, but we mixed in a few fast miles.
Mile 4 we ran at 7:10 pace, mile 9 at 7:09, and mile 14 at 7:05 pace. The rest of the miles were either +- 8:00 pace.
We finished the run at 2:05:36. |

I went out today thinking I would run at marathon pace, but the legs felt great so I went for it. I ran 7:23, 7:17, 7:12, 7:09, 7:07, 7:05, and then 7:14 on the last mile.
The last mile was the only tough mile because it was uphill with a bit of a head wind. The rest of the miles I felt pretty relaxed on. On the bike tomorrow for 20, and then it's off deer hunting so I'll have to pick up my runs in the middle of the day on dirt roads. Should be interesting! Hopefully I can eat fairly decent. |

Ran at a moderate pace today. Ankle felt great even though it's still pretty swollen. I was up on the mountain so I ran at about 8,000 ft.

Last run before the marathon. It felt great. Temperature was great if we could just get rid of the winds. The ankle felt good, and I iced it afterwards.
AP was 7:44 with the winds. |

Marathon Day things didn't go as planned. I cramped up the last few miles and was barely able to run through the finish. Couldn't have asked for better conditions.
I still finished 3:22:25 so it was respectable just not where I wanted to be. The calves started to cramp up at mile 19-20, but I was still able to keep the pace. With just under 2 miles to go my quads and groin cramped up really bad, and my quads felt like they were going to give way. My 25th mile was at 8:59 pace, and then my 26th was at 10:41. It was all I could do to run to the finish. I lost my goal in the last 2-3 miles, but it was still a good run.
I'll get there soon enough. Even if I have to wait until I'm 40. No just kidding the goal is still 3:15.

| Legs felt a lot better today. My ITB doesn't like anything beyond 4 miles. That's when I started feeling it again (the knife) so I had to slow way down, but at least I was able to run it out this time so it's making progress. My splits were: 8:25, 7:59, 7:58, 7:57, 8:48, and 9:57. |

The ITB held up pretty good today. I was able to run 6 without slowing down at the end. I'm still feeling it, but it's making great progress. I'll continue to roll it on the foam.
It is chilly in the morning. I can't wait until the time change to get a little light in the morning.

I ran on the treadmill this morning so my wife could run with her friend. I hate the treadmill. The legs felt good. It was probably good for my ITB. I ran the first mile at 8:19, the next three at 8:00, and finished up at 7:30, and 7:24. |

Dace and I ran on the Virgin River Trail system. We just kept it close to 8:00 pace so I could finish with my ITB. It held up pretty good. I just felt a little twinge, but it's progressing well.
It felt good to sleep in until 6:45. We met up around 7:15.

It's hard to get motivated to run right now. I need to schedule a race I guess. I'm forcing myself to stay in shape so I don't have to start over in my training like I've done in the past. |

Just a nice easy run today. I wanted to keep it close to 8:00 pace after a couple of fast days this week. I didn't look at the Garmin much at all which made for a great run. I always enjoy the runs more when I'm not paying much attention to the clock.

Felt winded today. I don't know if it was the humidity because of the rain, the day off or what. The 3rd mile which has some uphill really kicked my butt, and it usually doesn't bother me. After that, I felt pretty good for the most part.

I didn't pay too much attention to the watch today just tried to run and enjoy it. I still am in the habit of looking at the watch so it's hard for me not to look at occasionally. The weather was perfect. I didn't start until after 9 am. Felt a lot better today than I did yesterday.

Thanksgiving is always a great day for a run. The right achilles is starting to bother me a little. I don't know if I need to to slow it down or what. I've been trying to focus on landing on my fore foot. I must not be doing it enough. I can't seem to kick this achilles thing. I've tried heel lifts which seemed to be working. Maybe I need a new pair. Hopefully I can kick this soon, and not have the problems I've had in the past. |

| Dace and I ran 6 miles today on the Virgin River trail system. Just went at an easy pace. I think we were just over 8 minute pace. The achilles has been a little sore so I didn't want to go too fast. I think I'm going to have to take a few days off to give it some rest, and wear the Strassburg sock at night. |

| I ran with Dace and one of his track distance runners that he coaches on the high school team. We met at Desert Hills High and ran 4.5 miles. I added the 1.5 on the end, but slowed it way down. I finished up just under 8 pace overall. |

Dace and I ran 4.5 then I added 1.5 on at the end, and I slowed it down. I'm hoping if I keep it slow I can cure this Achilles thing. This was a cold one.

Woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground. Dace and I were going to go 10. Just before stretching I get a text from Dace. Something about it's too cold, but really he just couldn't get the bed off his back. It was a good run. I just kept it slow.

I was planning on meeting Dace and Mark, but I was a few minutes late and they were gone. They must of been on time because the other days I was already there when they got there. I did a loop through Bloomington Hills that I hadn't done before. A lot of hills, but it was a good run. Overall the achilles felt pretty good. I'll just keep the pace at 8-8:30. |

Butch was in town from Vegas so I was supposed to meet him at 6:30 on the trail. He forgot and thought it was at 6:00 so I knew the general course he was was running. I was able to run into him about Bloomington. He was on his way back. So I finished up with him around 7 miles for me because he was at about 16. I took him back to his place and then ran another 5 miles.
