Running For Trevor

6 mi with Kevin in the big city.  Ran from the avenues to foothill drive.  There was a fair amount of climbing involved.

20 minutes weights

8 miles on the treadmill in 63 min.

I found out that Melissa that I paced Saturday finished in 1:35:04.  Not too shabby for the unofficial 1:35 pacer without a watch. :)

PM:  2 mi up to the city building to pay my bill and then up to Smiths to buy a cucumber.  Ended up buying a cucumber, tomatoe, and 2 bags of Halloween candy so I walked home and rewarded my efforts with 1 laffy taffy every half mile.  It was a productive afternoon.

Halloween Spooktacular Fun Run:  Lehi JRP via Willow Park at 5:30am.  Bring your headlamp, or dress up like a christmas tree.

Cardio first today.  40 minutes elliptical

4 miles on the treadmill.  1 mile warmup, 2 miles in 13:20 (6:40 AP), 1 mile cooldown.  Basically marathon pace for the 2 miles although it felt more like 5k pace today. 

Lower body Strength training plan that Teena sent me.  I couldn't remember all of the moves but think I did pretty good.  It only took about 15 minutes and it really felt like I covered all of my lower body.  Once I get better at it I will start adding weight.

Halloween Spooktacular Fun Run:  Tommorow morning meeting at Willow Park in Lehi at 5:30am.  Bring your headlamp, or dress up like a christmas tree.  I'm bringing trick or treats!

8 miles on the Lehi JRP with Smooth, Karen, Karen's friend, Rachel, Chad & Rob.  It was nice to finally meet Rob in real life!  Running is so much more enjoyable when you have good company.  It was a great morning and the 4:55am wake up call was totally worth it.  I really like this route and one of these days I will have to actually run it in the daylight.

Chad & Rob decided to bust out a tempo and Smooth and the crew left early so I am left with an abundance of halloween goodies.  We will have to meet up again so I can get you guys your treats. :)

Can anyone recommend a good pair of gloves for winter running?  I was incredibly warm today except for my fingers which were freezing the entire time and still are.

PM:  2 miles easy.  So nice out!

40 minutes elliptical

3 miles treadmill, no incline, 25 minutes.  Felt like I got hit by a train this morning.  I had no energy and think I might be coming down with a cold.  My calves are also incredibly tight and I have no idea why?  I actually contemplated just laying in bed and calling in sick to work, but then I remembered that I would just be calling myself since I am the Manager.  I'm just glad I got a workout in because I'm a complete grouch when I don't sweat before work!

6 lovely miles around Orem with Josse.  Perfect weather and company.  Thanks Josse for letting me tag along.

30 minutes Strength training at the gym, 15 min elliptical very slowly just scoping out the weather report for the weekend.

Pacing 1:45 at the Snow Canyon half tomorrow.  It should be a perfect weekend to head South.

Paced 1:45 at the Snow Canyon Half Marathon on Saturday and came in at 1:44:56 (Garmin time, official results are not up yet).  I had an absolute blast pacing this race and loved every second of it.  It was an incredibly beautiful course, perfect weather, and I had a great crew to run with.  Sorry Kelli but I think 1:45 if my new favorite time to pace.  There were quite a few people that stuck with us the entire way which made pacing a lot of fun.  It was awesome to meet Brooke in person and have her run with me the entire way.  She is SUCH a strong runner and just a beautiful person inside and out.  I have no complaints, it was a great day and pacing is so much more fun than racing.

I do take pacing incredibly serious and am a little upset that I was 4 seconds fast but overall I think I paced a really even race.  These downhill races are a little hard to pace but I did do my best to keep the effort level the same the entire way.
