Got up early on the Birthday and ran 2.5 before practice.  Then ran with Rory, Connor, Lucy, Haedn and Bradstreet out to the Cove the Leila way.  I turned around at the pond and headed home.  I was tired today and the legs are tired. 

Had breakfast with the Fam at Kneaders and then went to Parent/Teacher Conference all day and night.  Not the best way to spend a Birthday, but it started out alright.

35-39 age group!

Beautiful morning with a lot of people out running.

Same run as Saturday, I just ran it after lunch instead.  Warm day, but very windy.  Had a 30 mile an hour south wind, which mostly cross breezed, but still pushed me around.  Tempo miles were 5:38 and 5:29, average was 7:22.

Went out during my prep and did a workout.  First Track workout in 5 years and it felt like like it.  I am slow!  I warmed up around the school and middle school fields for 1.5 miles and then did 2 laps of striding the straights.  4x800m with 400m recovery and 2x200 with 200m recovery (2:47, 2:47, 2:48, 2:45, :35, :34).  Cooled down until Jordan came out to do an early workout and ran 1.5 miles with him.  Then went out again and ran the same thing with Spencer when the freshmen came. 10 miles at 7:39 ave.

Super nice afternoon by the end of my run.  I was hammered today from a long week and I might be getting a cold.

It was nice this morning, in the upper 50s and then the wind got crazy hard, like 35-40 mph.  By the time school was out it was in the 30s.  I ran with Rory and Connor 2 miles out on the trail on Mountain View Corridor from the HS and then back.  I then went out on my own for another mile, and then did a tempo mile in 5:44.  iI looped back to the school and did 2 x 200 meters in 32 seconds each.  7:32 ave for 8 miles in the cold wind.

3.5 easy miles this afternoon.  Left calf is tight.  I think I will go out at 6:30s tomorrow and not race the half, too beat up.

Left calf was still tight this morning even after all the work on it last night.  I figured I would go out at 6:30s and see how I felt.  I was good until about mile 6 and then it tightened up so much that I almost had to stop because the pain was sharp.   My thought at first was to take off with 4 to go and see who I could catch, but instead I chilled at 6:30 pace.  Sometimes you have to pick your battles and this one was not a battle that mattered to me.  Weather was cold, especially going North.   I was really using it to see my fitness, which isn't` bad for just getting up into the 40s.  The calf was way tight after and I had a har time walking.  I rolled it out way good and actually brused it because it was son tight.  I might take Moday off and then ease back into things and get the miles up a little more.  Felt pretty good for my first real long run.  1:25:28

AM- Cold early morning run.  Calf has been hurt and bruised, so I took a few days off.  Yesterday wasn't planned though, I just didn't have time because of our meet.  I ran out to Fort Herriman and back this morning in the cold and dark.  31:31

PM- Ran from the hotle over to Pine View with the boys.  Easy run.  7:35 pace.

Chilly morning!  Got up this morning and went from the hotel up on the East ridge in St. George and then came down on the south side and over to the park where the marathon ends.  I went from there up to the Dixie (nasty little climb), then headed on the frontage road into Washington to where I could go under the freeway, then back to the hotel.  I was only planning on 8-10, but it worked out to get 13, so I was fine with that.  Calf feels a lot better, even though it din't yesterday after taking 4 days off.  7:23 pace.
