| Went on a night run and I always feel way good at night so I was hitting about 6 min miles the whole time and felt wonderful. About a 50 min run with a little jogging to cooldown. |

| Run in the rain:) Lots of wind. Hard pace (attempted 5:50 per mile effort but much slower against a stiff wind) |

| Moderate to Hard (about 6 min miles ish) pace with Coach Prince. Hilly with a lot of wind so it was pretty tough going out but coming back wasn't bad. |

moderate to easy pace today. Ran about 25 minutes then stretched real good and ran a couple of miles more around the track with some easy strides on the straightaways to loosen up. Legs are alright from saturday's long run but a little tired. Not sore though, and I actually felt very good today. Made it a point to eat good stuff today and I felt it. Oh, and thanks for everyones help on the marathon stuff. I'm gonna finish this last week of track season easy and then start to get into the mileage within the next week. I've kinda been helping out with and training with the HHS track team to get back in shape after not running for 2 years so that's what I've been doing But as soon as the season is over next week its base building time. Woohoo! |

| Left hamstring was a little tweaked today so I just ran real easy and short. About 20 minutes. Sure wish this wind would quit already! |

| leg still not up to par but feeling better than yesterday. I think last week's long run may have been a little much but oh well. It'll be alright. So excited to go watch State Track on Saturday. Yeah! Get a motivation booster watching Karl and Luke Puskedra. |

1/2 mile warmup. 40 minutes 6 miles on the Angel Heights loop with a couple of extentions. Moderate pace about 6:40 average with a lot of wind so faster on the way out and slower coming back. Left leg felt much better though still a little weak. But it doesn't hurt anymore so that's good :) Anytime I started to feel it I eased off on the effort and made it through alright. Followed that with 1/2 mile cooldown and some good stretching. Felt great! Man, I know I complain about it too much but I am sooooo tired of the wind. I can't even get a good relaxing run in because I have to fight the wind at least half the time if I'm lucky and it doesn't change direction. Is the wind not blowing ANYWHERE?? Grrrr. Well, it's supposed to quit tonight so I'm crossing my fingers. And toes. And any other extremity that can be crossed. Looks pretty funny:)

I felt really good today. Hamstring/calf is hardly bothering me anymore so I went fairly fast. Almost 5 miles @ 6:10 ish--some variation to make it interesting. Plus half mile warm up and half mile barefoot cool down on the infield. Didn't kill myself though. Looking for a long run tomorrow but not as long as last week. NO WIND! YIPEEE!

| Man, I just watched Luke Puskedra run an 8:54 3200--how could I not run? Came home after watching the boys take 2nd at State Track (YEAH!) and watching Karl absolutely tear it up and I was really motivated and even though it was 9 PM I went for 10 miles. 67 minutes, so between 6:40 and 6:45 pace the whole way. Felt great, especially the last 5 miles. Really relaxed and felt like I could run the whole marathon that way. And it was an absolutely gorgeous night. Perfect temperatures. Went on the Bench Lake loop (plus 1/2 mile on the track to make even 10) so I was out in the fields smelling the fresh cut alfalfa and the irrigation was running so I hit some nice cool spots, and it was almost a full moon so I could see everything almost plain as day. Ahhhh! That's what running is all about. Or at least part of it:) Great day today. |

| Slow easy 4 mi. I think I'm gonna kinda take this week off. I just feel really tired and worn down when I run and I think I need a rest before I hit the miles hard. So I'm gonna take a couple of days completely off and then maybe just short jogs for the rest of the week. |

| Taking the day off. Knees and thighs are sore for some reason. But that's alright. This week is healing week. Bought some new shoes today. Saucony ProGrid Guide's. Feel very nice compared to my hashed Asics. Never liked asics anyway. Anyone know warning signs of knee injuries? Just curious. It's normal for me to have my knees be a little sore for a couple of weeks after starting mileage training, but where I haven't run long mileage for 2.5 years and stuff I just want to make sure I don't screw myself up like my dad did.

Today went on a nice easy run with the McCombs boys. 6 miles counting warmup and cooldown. Probably around 7 min. pace I forgot to keep track. I need to get a watch but I hate wearing them. Behind my knee still feels funny right in the middle but I think it will just take some time to go away as long as I'm careful. Knees felt fine. Just felt a little sluggish and not very smooth but it will get better as I get more and more in shape and get some more miles in. Guide 8.5 (I'm cool too) |

Ran Goulds Rim trail. Quicker than I wanted to, but most of my trail runs are because I have to get the turnover going to miss all the rocks so I don't trip. Nice though. About 33-34 min. ish. I really need to get a watch so I don't have to go by my car clock:) Anyway, was quite sore from work and from 2 hours of full court basketball RM style yesterday, but after a sluggish and stiff start it was alright. upper calf/lower ham problem keeps bugging me but it gets marginally better every day so that's a good sign. Anyway, I'm going to hit the sack. Real tired after sorting and stacking about 500 pallets today. groan. Guide 14.5

Easy 4 miler with Johnny. recovery pace. Didn't even feel my little problem. YAY! I think it might be getting better. Anyway, felt good except for I was a little cramped because I ran right after dinner. Mwah mwah. But it was good. Guide 18.5 |

moderate pace almost 4.5 mile run which felt alright but I haven't pushed at all for awhile so it felt a little weird to go faster than normal but alright. also a couple of warmup laps and I also did a couple of 100 M strides/accels just to get out on my legs and see how it felt. Didn't feel my calf/hammie today either so that is great. Guide 23.5 |

Angel Height's loop plus 2 laps warmup. I really need to find some other 5 mile loop. I'm sooo bored with Angel Heights. Anyway, felt really slow the first 4 miles, then the last mile I got rollin' and felt really good--too bad it wasn't sooner...but it was overall a good run. I'm not looking for too much speed this week so it's alright if I go slow. But I think I am starting to get back into shape for mileage little by little. Oh, and I think I am pretty much over that injury or whatever it was...will start easing into more mileage. I was being real careful this week and especially last week to not overtax it, but I've tested it out a couple of times the last couple of days and it feels a lot stronger, though not 100% yet. But soon.... Guide 29.0 |
