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

30 min clubhouse elliptical

2 hours helping my Mom with nursery.  8 kids under the age of 2....holy crap that was hard!

A little over 32 min jogging at the indoor track.  A nice soft surface for recovery but too much turning for my IT band so I kept it short.  I decided that based on my internal 8 min pace the track is 10.5 laps for a mile instead of 13 like my Dad told me.  Either that or I was incredibly slow yesterday. 

40 min walking with my parents and the pups.

20 min strength training - planks, pushups, upper body and ITBS rehab.

9 miles on the treadmill in 68 min.  Progressive run starting at 8 min mile and finishing with a 6:53.  Glad I had Lily to talk to for the first 20 minutes.  Thanks Lily!

My IT band is feeling really good and does not seem to be bothering me at all.  The rehab I've been doing really helps and getting it scraped by Josse helps even more....even though I have bruises the length of my IT. ;)  Hopefully it heals up before I put my bikini on to pace the St. George half this weekend.

Unfortunetely my metetarsalgia continues to be a problem when attempting speed + distance.  I may be taking the year off of marathoning unless I figure it out.

Kicking it way old school this morning.  Met up with Jen at the indoor 8 lap cement track in the basement of Springville HS.  Totally brought back nightmares from when I was overweight in HS and barely made the cutoff for the presidential fitness mile.  I think I ran like a 12:49 with a good 11 second cushion for the 13 min cutoff.  HS was not my glory days!

Anyway the place was packed and we realized it would not be easy to get a workout in but we were there so we were going to try.  Jen hadn't done a speed workout since MichelleL moved and the last one I did was a ladder workout so we just decided to go with that.  2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2 with 200 active recovery.  400 recovery after the 8's & 10.  No stopping ever and Jen was a jack rabbit when it came to the recovery.  Way faster than I'm used to which was probably a good thing.  40-1:25-2:12-3:00-3:48-2:59-2:14-1:30-41.  Josh jumped in with us for the 2nd half of the workout.

These numbers are not great and I could make up all sorts of excuses like the wrestling team doing walking lunges with 25lb dumb bells on the inside lane, the insane amount of swerving we did around walkers, and did I mention it was a cement track?  But the point is the effort was there and that is all I was going for.  The workout took an hour total with warmup & cooldown.  The constant turning with these short tracks is just probably not the best for my IT band so I added 2.25 CD mi on the treadmill at the gym.

30 min lower body strength training - I figured that since my legs were already toast from the cemment track workout it was a good time to do weighted lunges & squats. 

62 min on the treadmill easy recovery, 7.5 miles.

7 miles with Jen in Salem.  We almost got hit by the Sherriff, and a bus, and the winder milk delivery guy.  Salem was hopping at 6am today!

30 min weights - upper body and core

2 x 3 mi tempo workout.  1.5 mi warmup 6:37, 6:31, 6:25, half mile (4 min) recovery 6:33, 6:27, 6:22, 3:05.  I added an extra half mile because I was feeling good and wanted to push myself a bit.  1.5 mi cooldown.  Tough workout for me but I am happy to have it done.  It went really well besides the fact that my feet started bothering me towards the end.  I hate doing these tempos on the treadmill because I feel like it is cheating but the roads in Payson are just too icy for fast running so it was the best option.  The workout was definitely aided by my new discovery of Pandora on my phone.

Headed to St. George this afternoon to pace the St. George half so it should be a fun weekend.  Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!

Fun weekend in St. George!

1 mi warmup with Christie

Paced the 1:50 group for the St.George half marathon.  Came in a little early at 1:49:37.  I hate being off on my pace time but I think I did a good job and hit every mile within 10-15 seconds of the goal split.  This was a good forced recovery pace for me.  We had TONS of people running with us the entire race and I think I helped a lot of people reach they're goals.  Very popular time!

3 or so miles cooldown most of it with Scott & Spencer and all of it with Christie.  Christie wanted a fast mile and I was feeling lazy but told I would do it with her anyway.  We hit a 6:30 or something I think.  I felt really good about this considering I haven't run more than 13 mi total since TOU in September.  I am feeling really good and it feels good to feel good!  I am glad I took the time off my body needed and looking forward to jumping back into the racing scene.

Congrats to everyone that ran so well over the weekend and especially my training partner Jen who ran 18:20 in the 5k.
