WBR Legs 23 and 24 From Wanship to Rockport res. 10 miles at 3:30am all uphill pretty much. Paul rode his bike with me the whole way. 1:07:22

Legs 35 and 36 at about 10:00am. I felt like crap as soon as I started. I had to run up over the mountain for the first mile, then straight down the mountain for the remainder. My whole body was cramping, even my intercostal muscles. My teamates left me at 4 miles to go and it was very hot. I struggled in and we still broke 20 hours, won the Ultra division by almost 3 hours, and made 6th overall. It was a great experience overall, and one the hardest things that I have ever done.

I originally planned to do a bonneville trail loop, but when I got to the end of the trail I decided to go up green canyon. I started up the canyon and got on a different dirt road that went north. I went north into what I thought was Hyde Park, in these huge houses on the mountain. I made my way down to 1600 east and follwed that road back into Logan, around the University and home. It was a difficult run, but I ran very well. When I started about 6pm it was still in the 80s, and when I finished it was cool and in the 60s. 1:30:22

I started up at Hardware Ranch just below the start of TOU and ran all the way home, down the canyon, along TOU 1/2 course,into River Heights, down on the Island and home on 6th E. That dugway hill is a bugger after 23 miles! I ran all the way down the canyon into a head wind, and then when I headed North it was a North wind, so my whole run was into a head wind, and I saw 1 minute of sun the entire run. I got a late start, about 11:30, because it had been raining all morning and night, and all day yesterday. There was snow most of the way down the mountain, so I ran the whole run with a long sleeve shirt and gloves on. It was probably about 40 degrees, which is a major difference from the 80s earlier this week. Other than the cold, wind, little bit of rain, and the fact that I ran 24.5 miles all by myself, it was a good run. I felt okay other than fatigue. I planted some GU2o and that seemed to work pretty good for me. I got home right before it start to hail marble size chunks of hail, lucky for me. I ran an extra 1/4 mile when I got home so that I could hit 58 miles this week, my biggest week in at least 5 years. 2:56:43

Providence hill loop from PV. It was another afternoon run, I got rained on and snowed on, but had a pretty good run overall. My left hamstring is buggung me, and so is the whole left side of my body, (foot,butt, calf, Etc.) Ireally need some good mileage but I might have to take it really easy this week. 1:05:53

Canal trail, 1st dam, Hillcrest loop with tempo last mile. It felt like Halloween time of year, wery cool and brisk. I only got out for a 5 miler today, and I realy needed a 20 miler. I went to watch TOU marathon this morning and it was freezing cold too, so there went my morning run. Allison wanted to go workout and by the time Imfinally got out the door it was too late to go very far and I was going on an empty stomach. I had to sttle for a measly 5 miler. I made the most of it with a tempo mile and I posted my best time on that run by almost one minute. I have been fairly consistant sinse may in my training but it has definitly suffered since evryone has been injured and I have been on my own. I needed a strong week and I got a very weak one so next will have to be a good week instead of a taper week. Run time 31:57, and last mile was 5:17ish

Island, River Heights, Center st. run. I did this one backwards, so I went up the big Center st. hill. I added a block + to the run, so it ended up around 7.2 miles. I did a down hill speed mile from Center st. to River Heights elementary in 5:09. I went up Old Main stairs on the way home. 49:14

I did a mile warm up and a 3 mile+ tempo rundown the mountain (Bear Rd and Smith canyon Rd) from Oyler's cabin at Lava Ranch. I felt good and ran hard down, but tried not to over do it not only for next Saturday,but because I knew that I had to run back up the mountain. Tempo run was 16:11, and equally impressive to me was the 37:56 back up the mountain after the Tempo run. That run back up the mountain is nasty! I had a good hard run and I felt pretty good, I hope that I don't get too sore! I am excited to find some other good runs around that cabin, it definitly has a lot of hills. 1:01:52

I got pretty sore,something that I didn't want to do, after the run at Lava. I went on what was supposed to be an easy run with some tempo, but it ended up being more of a tempo run with some speed. I ran my favorite Five mile run, canal trail, 1st dam, Hillcrest loop in the fastest time yet. My last mile was 5:09, total run was 31:48. I felt good accept for the left over tightness.

I went out in the rain this evening because I needed this last run before Saturday. I just did the University-1500 E-Hillcrest loop. I wanted my last mile to be under 5:00, but ended up with a 5:04, because I had a head wind. I gues I am as ready as I am going to be for St. George, hopefully I can pull off a good run.

I felt like I was capable of a 2:39:OO but today wasn't the day. I ran with Steve King for the first 12 miles, and neither one of us felt that great. I lost him when I grabbed my first drink. I was 1:23:37 at the half and just couldn't ever get going. I ended up getting passed by five women in the last 10 miles, and my last 10k wasn't much under 40 min. I was tight after Veyo hill and never recovered. I ended up 11th in the age so I didn't get an award. It was a disappointing race! I was however, the first Cache Valley runner, so I got $100. Dad ran in 3:08:47 and was okay with that, even though he was 23rd in his age.

I ran up logan canyon where I met Jon, Paul and Cody at the Nature trail. We ran to the end of the single track and back,(48:39) then I ran home. I felt okay for it only being a week after St.George. I think I have recovered faster than I ever have before. 1:27:47

It was freezing cold at the start and super froggy too.  Becki and Will came up to spend the weekend so they ran too. I was so sore at the start from doing hurdles in skills 2400 yesterday. I let everyone take off and then I slowly moved up. I caught everyone with 1 mile to go accept Cody. I was just going to make my move when I realized that he wasn't registered, so I let him win and just cruised in knowing that I was going to win overall anyway.  I knew that at anytime I could catch him, and their certainly wasn't anyone in that race who can kick with me.  I probably shouldn't have been so nice and let him win, because he went around telling everyone that he had kicked my butt, oh well!  He seems like a pretty cool guy and so does his buddy Dan, and everyone needs their moment of glory.  I even gave him my medal so that he got something.

I had a warm up and cool down.

I met Paul, Ben , David, and Cody after the race and we went up righthand fork. I was the only one who wore orange because of the deer hunt, so it was good that no one took a shot at us. We ran up willow creek on a nasty, muddy trail. if I would have known I would have worn some old shoes because my shoes will never be the same. It was a fun and tough run, I really enjoyed the trail and having some company. 51:20

I ran down to the rec center (16:53) and met Paul and Cody. We ran some of the last few miles of TOU and made a loop that was 5 miles for Paul (41:31)for 5 and 1/2 . I ran home at the end (17:16). I felt pretty good, eventhough I did hurdles again today. 1:15:42

I met Paul and David at the canal trail and we ran up past first dam and got on the Bonneville. We ran into some hunters who had just shot a deer at our turn around. We ran back the same way. We went late morning so it wasn't too cold.

I went out this morning and did the Center st. River Heights loop,backward, with the Old Main stairs at the end. I made the mistake of running by Merlin Olsen Park and was spotted by Paul and Cody, who were there to run the First Dam run, and ended up stopping and visiting. I would have loved to run that race myself, but everything has been so heckick that I haven't been training. I might have still done it if my toe hasn't been hurting for the last week. I ended up with a very good run today and we are heading down to Draper to watch Jeff play in the semi- finals of state football.

I went on the route where I go up the 10th hill, down 1200 E up Green Canyon road, past Lundstrom park and around the University. I could tell that I have not ran in a while, but it felt good to get out and it was a very nice day. I think that I am finally over my sickness. 35:43

I also lifted weights at my house, I need to start so I went light .

I haven't ran in a long time and I am completely out of shape. I went in the rain, just before dark tonight. I did the University/Lundstrom 4 mile loop. It took a while to get going and then I didn't feel too bad for doing nothing for so long.
