It was kind of a rough day today, so the only thing I could think about was how I needed to go for a run. I wanted to run outside since I have been running on the treadmill more and more each week and its a lot easier on the treadmill at least for me. Trying to keep the same pace on the tm and running outside is almost impossible for me so I must work on it.  So i decided to go out since it had warmed up a little bit it to like 3 or something.  We from my house down river road and turn around went to freeman and over to greenbelt to finish at starbucks.  My pace was ok not where I wanted to be, I also felt like my lips were frozen. And for the most part I felt slugish and kinda sore and in pain a little. However it was a very good run cause I got to be all by myself and just kinda let my mind rest for a bit.

Today is day number one for Ogden Marathon.  I have been sick all weeekend, havent done anything or even moved for that matter since Thursday.  So today I went to work still feeling a little conjested nothing major.  When I got off work I headed to the gym to run on the tm.  I originally had 6 in mind but figured since im there why not try to shoot for the loong week run adn just get it done since I have plans Saturday night.  Ran 10 miles with an AP of 8:12 and I feel a little slugish and tired at first but i kept goin.  Warmed up for about a half of mile and cooled down to about half of a mile agian  During my run I have decided that during this training I will work on speed, I will log more miles but also add an extra run here and there and keep a more detailed log on how my runs went, if pain, what kind of pain where the pain was, where I went, how I liked it and so on.  That way I can go back and reference to something or maybe even compare day, like why was my long run so good this time but not last time, what did I do different.  I will also try to do my long runs on Monday until it is not so cold and until Alana get feeling better.   I saw Shannon and Marlin , both so nice and caring as always.  I am one happy boy. ooooooh yeah I also bough me some new shoes! WOHOOOO!

I went to Anytime Fitness to run there since its closer to my house and wanted to get my run in this morning. However it sucks sometimes cause they have like 5 treadmills. I got there and they were all being used. Today was my lucky day cause someone got off within 5 minute from me getting there. I felt good was a little tired but was still able to keep an AP of 8:03! Now off to do some group power and yoga. I need yoga!!!

I did a quick run as I was going to go to Teton Running for a seminar and was hoping to do Zumba after the seminar.  I was not able to go as it went for longer than what I had expected.  I learned a lot of different things. Felt good was able to keep a steady pace.

I was going to take today off but this weel has been kinda rough.  I feel like running clears my mind or helps me re-think things a little better.  I was kinda cold to run outside so I went to Apple.  I got there and NO treadmills were open, cause they have a few that are broken.  REALY?!?!? Its the first of the year they need to get things working.  I was still able to run and felt good.  I saw Jeff there.... THAT MAN CAN RUN LIKE NO OTHER.  I hope that something I can bust a mile him.  Did group power and yoga today also.  I was beat by the end of the night.

TGIF!  Kind of a long week at work.  Glad its over.  Teton Running called and told me my new shoes were in so of course I had to go get the.  I went from my house down to community park run two laps there.  After that I went down Holmes to Sunnyside and up towards Teton Running.  I felt a little tight and tired.  One of the slowest runs Ive had in a while but so glad I went out.  The weather was a little on the cold side but the sun was shinning like no other.  SO PRETTY!!!

5 miles in the am before work. Felt a little sluggish but go it done.

5 miles after work and tried doing some yoga but just couldn't get into it so only did 30 mins. Feeling a little tight but got it done. Tomorrow is going to be nice so hoping to do an outside run. Treadmill running is getting a little old.

Both runs I was able to keep a pretty good pace.

Took the afternoon off from work to go see Arturo perform at school. The performance was done really quick came home got dressed went from my house to freeman park over to the green belt and up pancheri over on Utah to Starbucks. It was slower run but I am ok with it, cause it was a good run overall.

Temp was 13 but felt a little hotter.

Had a great day at work, so when I got off I was really pumped for my run.  I went up broadway over on bellin to sunnyside all the way down to blvd and back down suddyside over on to snrl and up pacheri back on to skyline to finish at my work.  I probably could have use a gel and my water belt.  The weather was nice and felt great the whole time.
