El Burro Blanco

Ran 7.75 miles with the boys around Coach Thatcher's house. This group continues to impress me more and more each day.

4.5 miles pushing Norah in the jogging stroller over to the splash pad this afternoon. Boy was it hot! 

9.6 miles off of Navajo Dr. in Bloomington. Great run and happy with how the team did. Lots of good stuff.

Had lots of stuff going on today and actually went scorpion hunting in Stone Cliff. 81 scorpions taken care of!

I finished reading a running book about the most famous runner ever, Quentin Cassidy, and decided to follow his example and still get in my speed work out. The time is irrelevant but it was late. I did a mile warm up and then 4x1600m on the track. My times were 5:27, 5:20, 5:11, 5:09. It was pretty windy for the first one and I also forgot to clear the track. I ended up running around a soccer goal and dummy sled for football. That cost me some time. Oh well! Solid workout after a long day.

Another great run with the lads this morning. We were minus Dave and he sure missed out on an eventful run. As we made our way down River Rd., we came upon a Western Family version of a lion in the middle of the road. It wasn't quite sure what to do and ended up running right in front of a large truck. Poor little Western Family version of a lion. We all had a moment of silence and that seemed to help. It was really sad. 11.7 miles since Clyde and I ran a little before Bill and Steve showed up. Nice and easy.

Ran another 5.8 miles with the girls today on the trails by Coach Thatcher's house. Loads of fun and great conversation. I am cautiously optimistic of how well the girls can do this year.

Glad to be done for the day. A nap is in store for me!

Easy run on the trails behind the school with the kids this morning. Tacked on a little more at the kids club. Good morning for running. 7.25 miles total.

Katey had something going on later this evening so I couldn't run with the guys. I ended up doing my workout in the heat of the afternoon. Yeah! I warmed up over towards the Bloomington Loop and then came back towards River Rd. for a 4 mile tempo. I hit 5:26, 5:25, 5:24, and 5:36. I averaged 5:28/mile. Happy with that. The last mile wasn't great but it was windy and hot. Ended up chucking with lunch for the second week in a row. Yikes! Cooled down back to the car and ran into Bill and Dustin. It was good talking with them for a little bit. 

6 easy trail miles with the boys this morning. Can't wait to start some workouts with the kids next week. They are ready for it. 

Relaxed the rest of the day with the family.

Met up with the guys and ran from Veyo Hill to the church down the marathon course. I was planning on going longer but I needed to get back so Katey could go on her run. 

We "eased" into it pretty quick. I just kept the first 8-9 miles easy and then had to take a pit stop at Snow Canyon. Yeah. I then hit 6 solid miles for some fast miles. 5:13, 5:20, 5:15, 5:10, 5:16, 5:04 for the 6 fast miles and ended up averaging 6:12/mile for the whole run. Great run for me to end the week. I am happy to finally be hitting some decent workouts the last couple weeks. Hopefully I can get it rolling throughout the summer.
