6 easy miles with the 2nd group of boys on the cross country team.

I then went and ran another 8 miles out in the hills behind the high school.  I was planning on going with Kamm but he had family stuff going on.  It was nice and easy with some good climbs.  I had to be careful because it got kind of dark quick.

Running with Clyde and Paul H. in the morning.

14.20 miles in the morning.

3 miles in the afternoon.

I ran with Paul H. and Clyde this morning.  My legs were not feeling that great but we all survived and lived to talk about it.  We ended up averaging 7:35/mile overall.  Nothing spectacular but it was nice to finish the run in one piece.  The body is slowly starting to cooperate more with me running more consistently.

I ran an easy 3 miles with the cross country team before timing them on their 800s.  They did well on this workout.

Met up with Chad, Adam, Walter, and Clyde in Salt Lake for a really fun run.  We started at the capitol and then ran over by the Shriner's hospital.  Chad and Walter cut it short but it was fun running with them for a little bit.  Adam then took us up City Creek which was awesome.  The temperature was great and the hills were even better!  Adam kept saying that we had just a few more until we turned back around but it seemed to be one long continuous climb for a bunch of miles.  We got to the top and had some refreshing water and then came back down which felt really good on the legs.  It was a great morning run.

As the snow comes soon for you Northern Utah folks, head south and we will find places for you to stay so we can get a bunch of people and go for a fun run.  We talked about it a little this morning and we should get something set in stone.  It would be a great time of year for everyone to come down during December or January.

Now off to do wedding stuff for my younger sister.  Yeah!

I woke up at ran with Dave and Greg from the hotel in Provo up the canyon.  It was nice not having to run a ton of miles this morning.  I am glad that I was able to run with those guys.  It was nice chatting with them which made the run even better. 

Probably the best week of running for me for the entire year.  The leg keeps feeling better and better each day so I can't complain.  Hopefully I can keep things going.

Katey and I got home from a long day of driving back from Logan but I knew I needed to go out and get a run in.  I ran from our house and went over too the Barrel Roll trail.  I ran about 9 miles on the trail and then went over to my parent's house for dinner.  I felt really good on this run and it was nice to get out for a run after the long day of driving.

Good start to the week!

6.75 miles with the cross country team.

8 miles on the trails with Kamm.

We did a nice 30 minute warmup and then ran more 800s on the track.  The kids are really pushing hard and it is good to see so many of them improving.  I need to remind myself to be patient with them.  They are working really hard.

I then went and ran some trails around the high school again with Kamm.  We decided my new nickname is "El Burro Blanco."  I guess it sounds okay.  We had a good run but it got dark quick so we both nearly tripped a couple of times.  We both survived though.

14.25 miles in the morning.

5.25 miles in the afternoon.

I met up with Clyde, Paul H., and Steve this morning for a nice "easy" run.  My legs were a little sore from everything yesterday and it was nice and casual at first but the boys decided to really hammer it.  I stayed back and watched them go and have fun with each other.  I caught back up with them and managed to hang on.  Clyde was feeling frisky and wanted to run a mile all out.  I stayed with him for .12345th of a mile and then my calf started to tighten up so I decided to just relax.  I still don't want to overdo anything.  It was really fun running with these guys though.

I ran just over 5 miles easy with some of the girls on the cross country team.  It was a recovery day and the weather was slightly overcast so it didn't burn me out to much.

Not a bad day of running!  It is nice to have days like this.

7.5 miles in the afternoon.

I am going to relax a little today and tomorrow so I can have okay feeling legs for Saturday plus I don't want to do to much mileage just yet.

We did a good warmup and then I did the 800 workout with one of the kids who missed it on Tuesday.  We did pretty good together.  Nice to not have to run a ton of miles today.

I went for a 9 mile run on Barrel Roll with Kamm today after work.  It was stinking hot for some reason.  It was nice talking with him and the trail was once again quite eventful.

I ran an easy 3 miles this evening with one of my cross country kids during our Run-a-thon.  It was his 3 mile PR.

Really fun run this morning.  I met up with a huge group and we drove up 23 miles and ran back down to the finish line.  I was really tired this morning but I felt okay once I started running.  I am planning on pacing (Clyde might help too:) )a 3:00 group for the marathon and so I practiced that today with Wildbull who is in that group.  Everyone kept the pace nice and relaxed for 10+ miles and then we all started to pick it up.  I made Bill stay right behind so I could pace him and then hand water to him when he needed it.  Paul H. also ran with us and then took off and did a great job finishing the run ahead of us.

I wore my racing flats for the first time in a long time so it felt good to have those on.  My calves tightened up a little bit but I felt good after the run.  Bill did a great job this morning.

I am just trying to get in the miles so my body can handle some other workouts later on.  It is nice though just doing mileage instead of any major speed workouts. 

It should be fun pacing everyone who wants to break 3 hours at the marathon.  I am contemplating wearing Bill's blow up doll so everyone can find Clyde and me but I want to make sure it is family appropriate!

This was another great week of running.

I went and ran 8 miles with some of the boys on the cross country team today.  We went out on some trails around the high school.  It was nice and easy but it felt really good to get the calves loosened up a little bit.

8 miles with the cross country team.

We did a little bit of a warmup and then did 8 hills over by the middle school.  It was a good push for most of the team.  They are working really hard right now.

11 miles in the morning.

5 miles in the afternoon.

I woke up early and ran with Paul H. and Clyde.  We jogged over to the River Trail and did a couple mile repeats.  I ran the first one in 5:36 and then the second one in 5:34.  We didn't do the final two because Paul was feeling pretty sick.  Hopefully he gets feeling better.  We cooled down the rest of the way back to Clyde's house.

I did a short warmup with the high school team and then we did 4 mile repeats with a 400m recovery jog in between.  It was a really good push for the team and it was nice to see some of the times the kids were putting out.  They are doing well.

12.80 miles in the morning.

3 miles in the afternoon.

I ran with Clyde again this morning.  We both were some what tired but it felt good to get out and run.  The conversation was great and we both enjoyed the run quite a bit.  I think Clyde says it best.  "Logan sweats like a horse."  I have my dad to thank for that.  Temperatures were a little cooler which felt great on the body.

I ran with the cross country kids to show them the Wahsatch Rendezvous course.  I think they will enjoy running on it tomorrow.

I woke up planning to run but I wasn't feeling the best so I decided to sleep in.  I slowly started feeling better as the day went on but not 100%.

I ran an easy 5 miles with the cross country team this afternoon and then hurried over to Jacob Hamblin to run with the one and only Kamm Davis.  We ran our regular loop but then tacked on a little more to get a total of 11 for the run.  We actually saw two people walking on the trail which was really rare.  It was another great run with him.

I woke up and ran 11.20 miles with Clyde and Paul H.  We ran over by the Bloomington Loop and then came back down on the trail.  It was perfect temperature.  I needed to keep my shirt on since it was a little chilly.  The pace was nice and relaxed.  I can't complain too much.

I ran from the high school to my house in Ivins.  It was a nice 15 mile run.  It was nothing to fancy.  It was nice to get a long run in to see how the body is feeling.  I am sore but it was nice to get this in.  I didn't want to do to much this week so I can be ready to be a good pace setter for those going sub-3 hours next week.

I ran with the cross country team this afternoon.  We did a 20 minute warm up and then hit the track for 5x1 mile repeats with a 400m recovery jog in between each one.  I thought I was finished but a boy who had play practice needed a pacer so I went and did another 4 miles for him.  I guess it was good practice for pacing this weekend at the marathon.  It should be lots of fun.
