7.4 minute miles, mostly road, some trails.  

 Toe acting up, need to do strength training and possibly therapy

 No aerobic challenge today, just putted along to get in some miles.

 Did coach's warmup until football people kicked me off because "no one should be on this field." special

Night run, 70 degrees, dark.

 

Ran pretty well, left quad started acting up a bit so I took it pretty slow.  The run took me about an hour.  I had fun getting lost in the island and doing some errands along the way.   Good run overall.

50 minute run, body getting back to normal.

 Lots of slopes, good coordination and reflex workout.  About 45 minutes

 

 

Nike Pegasus, 280 miles.  I got lost up on the slopes next to logan canyon.  I was looking for a trail I can see from the road that hooks up with the trail by the old dam.  I couldn't get to it and kept hitting dead ends from dear trails.

About 50 minutes in the rain.  Fun run with slopes and curves and trails, gotta love visits to Davis County.

New shoes today: Wave Rider 11's.  An older model for about $80.  The reviews say they should have 500 miles, but most individuals report less than 300.  Bummer, I need to research next time, but I had store credit so this'll do.  I don't wear out shoes as hard as some people... maybe because my feet are so big.

 Knees felt impact, maybe because of the cold(55 degrees) and maybe because of the hills.  My heel contact felt much better on my right side and my hips felt great.

WR: 7 miles

First fartlick run of the year.  I got some hills in, but mostly focused on getting maximum efficiency with my arms on the effort pushes.  Felt great.  A little tight still in the quads, but everything else is loosening up, even without an ice pool.  It's pretty good.

I followed the rouge trail that opens up shortly after the connection to the new neighborhoods outside of green canyon.  It's a nice, curvy trail with little rises to keep ya busy.  

Cars were very nice to me today.  I guess after 7pm most people are outside for pleasure.

55 minute run.  Surprisingly fast for an off day.  61/2 minute miles.  Weather was great and I felt my stride open up even a little more.  I did have some pain kindof all over, but it felt better as the day went on.  

I feel like my right foot has been compensating a lot for my surgury over the past year and the effects are just beginning to show in some tenderness and stiffness in certain areas.  I want to overcome the weakness and lack of flexibility, and I know how to do that.  But I'm still not sure if anything will take away from the pain during running except ibuprofein, but that won't really help me fix the form. 

I may need inserts or just cut off part of my foot.

15 minute ab workout, nothing new

Up the canyon today, 80 minute run with some light pushes here and there.  I don't think I'll ever understand bikers.  I bet they are great people off the trail, but they can really get on my nerves.  I guess that's why I never got into the sport.

 70degrees.  I am still more sore than I would like to be.  I think I need to integrate the training room into my routine and take my off days a bit slower.   Overall for my fitness to improve I need to get to the weightroom 3 times a week and and take care of my feet better.

Great run today.  I ran a mile trial on rough terrain and ran 5:17.  I was hoping for well under 5, but I may need to check the mileage and not run most of my miles before I do the trial.  Everything is feeling better though and I feel that my toe is softening up.

 55 minute run, about 6:30 minutes/mile.

Hard day... I got lost trying to navigate the bonneville trail.  It is a great run, but somehow someone has taken over the mountain slopes between dry canyon and logan canyon... it is all fenced off.  I got a lot of scrapes, but found some new areas and I think I can get above it this next time.

90 minutes with Jake, he is doing really well.  We were able to sustain under 6:30 going up Logan canyon and did some great work in 90 degree heat.

 I felt very sore this day even though I iced after and did some ab work.
