2.5 miles this afternoon. Did the warm up with the TEAM and then we had a pace test. Positive stuff. Excited for track this spring. 

8 total miles this afternoon. Pretty tired this morning. Ran 5 miles with the boys at a good clip and then added 3 more miles with Kale and Ben. I think I am going to run the marathon this year with Ben to try and break 2:30 again. Should be interesting.

Looped Little Black Mtn. this morning with the TEAM. Ran most of this with the girls. Very excited to see how they are running right now. Pushed the last 3 minutes hard.

4 miles this afternoon to Little Valley with the TEAM.

16 total miles today. Slept in a little because I can and enjoyed the morning with the family. Started running around 9am and the temps were absolutely perfect. Ran from the house, through Bloomington, and then into SunRiver (always fun when the 55+ folks give you funny looks for running around in "there" community). Actually felt really good today and averaged 7:00/mile.

Great finish of the week. The plan is for one more week of mileage and some of the workouts with the TEAM and then get a little more specific with things.

Planned on meeting some of the TEAM to run out by Jacob Hamblin but Katey had an appointment this morning.

Went out a little later and ran 12 miles along the River Trail. Really nice weather. 7:01/mile. 

Went and did a big 4 mile hike with the family afterward. A little tired at the end of the day.

Weights and then 3 miles this morning with the TEAM.

Another progression run on the track with the girls. They are being great at helping each other and being patient with not doing too much too early. 3 miles total for the progression run. 7.5 miles total. 

Ran 6.5 miles behind the school today. Nice to hit some hills and dirt today. 

2 miles before weights and then 3 more miles with the TEAM after.

6.5 miles this afternoon doing our first 400m workout with RHR. Hopped in with the Silver Boys and hit between 1:22-1:25. Proud of these 9th grade boys and girls who are really doing well right now.

10 miles this morning along the River Trail. No watch. Just enjoyed the 40 degree weather. Nice and relaxed.

4 miles this afternoon to Little Valley and then yoga afterward.

Norah's getting baptized today so I couldn't go run with the TEAM. It was almost 70 degrees yesterday and then today it was 30 degrees with lots of rain and wind. Haven't run in the rain for a while but it was kind of fun. Sopping wet but very enjoyable. Did the same route as last Saturday through SunRiver. I am starting to become a regular now out there. 7:11/mile for 16 miles.

Another solid week for me. Feeling more positive and excited again. It has been a while.

A little sick this morning so I got some extra sleep.

8 miles total this afternoon. Did a big loop through Little Valley with the guys today. Solid pace and felt better but still congested.

Weights and then 3 miles after with the TEAM.

5.5 miles this afternoon running with the girls. Went behind the high school. Yoga afterward. Still a little congested.

Got up early to get 10 miles in before weights since I needed to help with the Jr. Prom Assembly. 36 degrees in the morning is actually really nice. 

6.5 miles this afternoon doing a Fartlek workout on the track (5x3min. w/1:30min. recovery + :30 sec. hard/:30 sec. easy) and then a cooldown.

10 miles this morning along the River Trail. Little cooler temps than yesterday. Felt pretty good. Glad I am getting over this sickness. Need to just finish out the week on a great note.

5 miles this afternoon with TEAM. Temps are amazing right now.

Went and cleaned the church this morning after sleeping in because I can and ended up running in the early afternoon. Short sleeve and hot for the run. Almost 60 degrees. It is supposed to be low 70s next week. I guess global warming is real. This weather is so weird right now.

I pulled a muscle in the stomach lifting the other day so I have been a little uncomfortable the last couple days. I could feel it on my run. Hope it gets feeling better soon.

Started at the house and went up by the high school, through Little Valley, out to the new middle and high school, and looped back around Stone Cliff along the River Trail. Stopped twice for water since it was pretty warm but felt good nonetheless. 7:08/mile for 17 miles. 

Happy to end the week on some great running due to being a little under the weather at the start of the week. Positive, positive, positive.

Stomach muscle still hurts so I tried to relax in the morning. Big workout in the afternoon. 10x300m dirt hill repeats along with 4x300m progression finishes. 7.5 total miles.

Weights and then 3 miles after with the TEAM.
