Well here goes again

HR was like 153/160 time was 56:56 Then I lifted for 55 minutes with bobbi.

HR was about 143/150 after the run I did a .5 untimed cool down and then abs and stretching.  1:14:12 on the ten miler

ran slow on the TM HR was about 138/145 then I did a .5 untimed cool down  1:18:35 taking it easy because off the race tomorrow.

Well this was a big improvement over last year.  I registered Thursday night but I had planned on this for awhile.  I had just being waiting on my Hamstring since Hobble Creek to see how I would feel.  I brought Suzanne and the kids to the race and last night was a late night with a trip to 7 peaks and dinner at Brick Oven before driving back to Draper and getting litltle sleep.  Suzanne and my three youngest kids actually drove up so we could do Swiss days together after.  I had a lot of friends up there.  I felt like I wasn't prime but I expected to have a good race.

This race is loaded with High Schoolers and off the 8 people in fron to 5 were highschoolers plus two 25 years olds and one 26.  When the gun sounded all those highschool kids took off.  THe first mile was really solid in about 6:03 and it has a little up hill.  By the mile I was in 12 place and from that point on only 1 guy passed me who I later caught and I passed 3 more.  There was one bigger guy I started chasing but never could catch.  I should have latched on to him in hind sight but he was really impressive.  He must have been 205 or more and about 6"1. 

It took me awhile to get into a grove.  maybe it was the uphill or the anxiety with my hamstring.  All and all it went well.  I feel like I can continue to run about this speed for a lot more distance but I don't feel like I am getting faster.  I know what that means and after St. George I will probably switch up my strategy.  Post race i had a lot of friends to talk to.  We enjoyed the parade and the Scones and every thing Midway had to offer.  I know I havn't looged much lately.  My hard drive at home crashed and FRB is off limits now at work.  I'll try to do better.

FYI

This was my first time wearing the FRB shirt at a race.  I didn't get chicked maybe that is a good omen.

Day or Rest.  I had a monster cold come on late last night.

I was running outside with Jason Keller.  We held at 10 min miles pretty good if it weren't for the potty break.  He said this was the fartherset he had ever run.  It was fun having someone new to chat with. After I went to the Gym to spin with Laura for an hour.

So I have this terrible cold and for some reason today I just started pooring it on although I felt like crap and I was just able to hang with it.  I felt pretty good about this one. It was one of my best trainers in a couple months HR was about 166/173 burned 1247 cals and after I went to spin with Julie I really nailed it there as well.  Which was yet more suprising.  45 minutes of hard core plus the warm up which was short and then the cool down.  I stll have the monster cold. High weight was 171.6 Time was 58:42

Early meeting so I ran on Tm at 1% incline at the TH on the TM mostly at 8.4 pace after warmup.  No HR monitor but I would guess 146/150 felt very relaxed high weight this morning was 169.2.  Still sick more cough then cold now.  Yellow and Brown phlem.  Actually coughed up on the TM.  So gross!  1242 cals

Ran on the Streets and trails of Draper HR was about 137/148 then I did Dad's and Dogunuts with Nathan and Brit and then abs with Kat

HR was 136/143 nice and easy on the TM at the TH 1% incline.  Then a little stretching and I left

1:25:23

26.2 on the TM after I hit 8 MPH that is what is stayed at the whole time only had to resest once at the half way mark.  Total time was 3:16:53 that included the time to reset.  I had a few friends at the gym get me waterbottles.  That was a TM PR after that I did a .3 mile cool down. HR for the run was 143/152

Day of Rest legs feel great.  The cold is still hanging on.

I slept in this morning which caused me to miss just about everything but my run.  I took the day off cause the kids were out of school.  10 miles on the TM at TH 1% incline HR was about 146/153 kind of high but I was still tired from Saturday.  Time was 1:13:57 mostly at 8.1 after I warmed up.  from 7.5 on I bumped it upa little to 8.2 and 8.3

Ran on the TM at TH first 5 in 32:47 then I slowed a little and picked it back up to 9.0 mph pace at the 6 mile mark.  Total 59:53   I felt strong. Not to much tighteness.  After I did spin with Julie for 48 minutes and 24 pullups. High weight was 174.4

Ran on the TM at the TH 1% incline pretty good pace mostly at 8.6 after the warmup. Bumped it to 8.7 the last 2 miles to duck under 98 minutes.  Then I did a .3 mile coold down and stretch HR was montior was going crazy but I would guess 153/160 total time 1:37:55

Ran on the TM at TH 1% incline I felt tired from yesterday I din't get enough sleep  either.  I didn't wear a HRM time was for the first 10 then I did a .2 cool down plus abs with Kat and some pullups. TIme 1:14:07
