Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

I slept in rediculously late this morning.  Trying to fight off this stupid cold.  I finally made it out around noon and it was perfect temperature.  5 miles at the track while the dog ran around.  Running easy at the track is so mind numbingly boring but the dog loves it.

felt like crap this morning.  My effort felt way harder than my pace.  I am really hoping it is just because I am still fighting off this cold and I really haven't regressed this much.  Legs felt tight, breathing felt hard, just on of those run.

And I managed to gain 4lbs over the weekend.  ugh!  Time to get back on track.

PM:  1.25 miles.  kinda lame but hey every mile counts right?

Holy Nyquil hangover.  I couldn't sleep last night because I was so congested so I got up and took nyquil way too late.  I woke up in a complete fog but managed to drag my halfway dead body to the gym.

25 minutes weights.  worked shoulders and did my 100 pushups.

8 miles running.  training plan called for 10 x 1 minute hill climbs.  I knew I would struggle with this workout considering my lack of energy but I still wanted to do it even if I had to go slower than planned.

I warmed up for 10 minutes at 8:06 pace and then went into the workout.  Bumped the incline up to 5% for 1 minute and increased the speed to 7:53 pace, recovery was at 1% and same pace.  This was hard but I got through it.

Ran for 34 minutes at 8 minute pace.  overall time was 1:03:30 so average pace was around 7:56 for the entire workout.  Not too bad considering 3/4 of my brain felt completely numb.  I think I am finally feeling better from this cold.   No more nyquil for me!!

25 minutes weights.  worked triceps and core

7.25 miles running, 8 minute pace, 1-1.5% incline.  This felt harder than it should.  I am kind of having an "off" week with my running.  But I know this is normal and I'm not going to let it get me down.  Just got to keep on keeping on. 

I set an insane goal of running 3,000 miles in 2012.  I know this is somewhat overarching but I think I can do it and look forward to more easy miles and fun runs. :)

PM:  2 miles with the pup.  It is seriously too nice outside to be true.

Tempo workout today.  I am still really congested from this stupid cold...ugh but my legs did feel a little bit better today.  10 minute wu, 5 minutes at goal marathon pace 7:38, 20 minutes at half marathon pace 7:10-6:59, 5 minutes at marathon pace 7:35, and then 22 minute cooldown at 8:12 pace for a total of 8 miles.  I like doing the tempo workouts by time and not focusing so much on distance.

Change of plans for Saturday LR.  Me and JulieC are going to meet up at the Tabernacle in Provo and run the Provo City Half marathon course.  She is going for 16 and I am planning 13-14.   It will be a later start at 9:00a.m.  Anyone want to join?

I slept like crap last night waking up coughing and congested every few hours.  I feel fine during the day but the cold always seems to creep back up on me at night.  I also watched my nephew yesterday afternoon and got thrown up on twice.....he has some sort of intestinal virus that is going around and I really hope I don't get it.  Cleaning up after a puking toddler was all the birth control I needed to last a good 4-5 years. ha!

Anyway I just ran easy today for 60 minutes and ended up with 7.2 miles. 

Meeting at the Tabernacle in Provo tomorrow morning at 9am to run 13-16 miles if anyone wants to join.  8ish pace for me......and much faster for everyone else!

Woke up to snow this morning.  Woo Hoo!  Met up with Jake, Andrea, Allie, James, Cam, and Julie in Provo.  They were nice enough to run slow for me. :)  It was great to get to know them all and chat.  Such nice people and I hope we can start running together more often.  At least while they are just doing base building and not training seriously.

I felt pretty good until about mile 13 and then my lack of endurance started to show a little.  I managed to stay with the group and finished with 15.5 miles.  Overall pace was 7:48 which with a little more endurance training makes me feel pretty confident that I am capable of PR'ing at Boston.

Thanks guys for coming down and running with me. :)
