PM   5.25 miles from the gym, I think I am almost over this head cold now and feel good again.

AM   A windy run this morning as I was not in the mood to run in it at all,  you see I had to work in it all week long and the one thing I enjoy the most is my morning run so it set me off just alittle this morning.  It was hard to stay happy for this run, one of those days!  Will try again tonight or in the morning

Set out for this run after Church and was in a much better mood, sunny and just a slight breeze.  2 loops from JHB to Sunnyside

AM   3.50 easy miles and 1.58 MP miles,  still have this head cold that hasn't gone away but is not as bad as a few days ago as I have had this now for 2 weeks. I will just have to trust the Lord for his protection for this weekend marathon.

AM   easy 3 mile run this morning, felt OK and it should be a great time at the Tommy Vaughn Marathon tomorrow and hang out with friends.  It's a small town race with alot of turns and turn arounds but will be fun.

This was a small town race but had alot of fun running it. I was alittle concerned about the course as there is alot of turns and turn arounds as it was the 1st annual run, but it was well marked out and aid stations and volunteers were good.

Race started at 8 am and on time as there were 5 runners that took off in to the front, John and two younger kids and 2 other runners in there 30's or so.  By mile 1 John and the young guys were in front by .25 miles and by mile 2 they were out of sight. The first 3 miles were just nice and easy as the two 30 year old and myself were just at about the same pace. At mile 4 I moved the pace up to a 7:15 - 7:20 pace and I  really felt comfortable and consistent at every mile. One of the runners fell off the pace at mile 7 and I felt like I was pacing the other guy as he was just hanging out about 10 yards behind me until mile 10.  He then faded out.  I was runninng by myself the rest of the race. Still running 7:20 up until mile 16 as the wind picked up and was getting stronger every mile and by mile 18 pace slowed to 7:35  and by mile 20 it was a head  wind from hell. But I just kept pushing it.  I was able to catch one of the young guys at mile 22 and saw the other one about a half mile ahead of me. Pace slowed to the low 8 min pace. About every 1/2 mile I was getting closer and could see he was looking over his shoulder alot as to were I was.  By mile 24.5 I passed him ( that was fun and I know how he must have felt because it has happend to me before and it is something that you remember for awhile). Finished strong. Just wished the wind didn't happen.  2nd overall finish.

AM   ran at the Ann Morrison Park in Boise, felt ok and just alittle tight but not to bad.

AM   Ran at the gym this morning,  progressive run as the first 2 miles was w/u and the last 6 was progressive with the last mile at sub  MP

AM   9 miles at the gym this morning, legs felt good this morning and HR in low Z2.  

PM    5 easy miles after work.

AM   Ran at the gym again this morning as I wanted to get a good tempo run in this morning.  1% incline - 1 mile w/u - 3 mile Z-2 - 7 mile HMP - 1 mile c/d.

AM   Easy run this morning - Greenbelt to Pancheri to Freeman Park and 3 loops around the park and back to the Greenbelt.  All in all I felt good and a nice warm but windy run.

AM   What a great morning for a run,  Ran from the Greenbelt to Sunnyside to JHB twice but added Freeman Park in on the last loop. Set out on my run at 3:40 am as I needed to get the run in and get to wirk.

AM   Had a nice morning of running!!  Left for the race early so I could run the sunnnyside hill before the race, ran up sunnyside 3 miles and down 3 and meet up with everyone at the start of the race just before the Bag Pipes started to play. My hats off to those guys as they did an amazing job and sounded awesome. Race started and my plan was to just run and see what happens, followed Lynette about 10 yards behind her and running around a 7:00 min mile, the course was alot of hills in it. About at 2.5 miles I felt good and wanted to pick up the pace and still running alot of rollers but was running at a 6:35 - 6:40 pace on the way back. It was a fun little race and a good training run. Got a 10 dollar gift card to Teton Running for 5 place (nice)

AM   Speedwork at Skyline track this morning,  1 mile w/u - 4 x 800 x 400 and finished the rest of the run in low Z2. Was thinking I was going to be alittle sore this morning, but felt fine. Only run for the day.

AM   8 easy miles on a warm 51* morning run , felt good and just played with the pace some, faster some miles and slow others.

AM      1 mile w/u - 3 miles at Z2 - 4.10 miles at GMP, I loved this mornings run as it was calm and 49* this morning and I even ran the last 4.1 miles without a shirt.  Also like that the sun comes up early now and I can enjoy the sunrise for tbe last few miles of my morning runs.  Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!
