Had a great run today. Ran my Boston prep route w/ elmore extention. I felt really good, but had to work hard because snow was a little soft. It was all good though and nice to run it all outside. Pretty good week considering I was fighting a stomach bug since monday. Felt good starting friday.

Another great wrestling practice today. I had to wait until after 6pm again to run, but I felt really good. I ran my south loop mostly in the dark. Lots of trick or treaters out too. It's not ideal running after a long day, but I gotta suck it up and I'm glad when I'm out there doing it.

First day of wrestling today and it went good. Kids seem motivated and ready to put in some work. I had to wait until 6:30p to get my run in. I felt really good running though. Kept it easy. Still warm outside (40 degrees) and I ran in my shorts and it's almost November!

Had a great run this morning. I did a real easy 4 miles w/ 5 striders and then did a progressive tempo run. It felt pretty darn easy, but I'm not really trying to get workouts in right now. Just wanted to spin the legs and get a harder effort in. It was fun though.

Easy pace this morning before work to Huffman and back. Nice fall morning, but I really need to start eating better. I eat too much before I go to bed and I can feel it weighing me down when I'm running. I realize this is the off season from marathon training, but I can still start eating better.

This wasn't really tempo pace just slightly slower, but the heat made up for the slower pace. Felt good and it was fun! The first 6 miles started at 7:30 pace that eventually progressed down to 6:30 pace. Then I did the last 4 miles @ (6:00, 5:56, 5:52, 5:49). I lost a lot of water!

10 miles (6 x 800m @ 5K pace w/ 90 sec rest)
I'm still experiencing some pain in my left knee. It can be sharp at times, but it doesn't get worse when I run. Once I started my 800's I didn't feel it at all, but it's there and I need to keep a special eye on it.
Workout went well today. I did my 800's between Huffman and Dearmoun and just used my GPS. I felt pretty good and it was nice to turn over a little. Here it is:
3 mile warm-up with striders
6 x 800m w/ 90 sec rest ( I averaged about 2:32 per 800).
4 mile cool down (general aerobic pace and last mile was a 6:12)

Had a great day running crow pass today. Never pushed myself, but it was still a good effort and tired when I was done. Ran the whole race with my buddy Jay from California. I forgot how almost the entire race is very technical and not much running where you can just extend your stride. I fell at least 7-8 times, fell in the river crossing, and got stung by 5 times by bees. Great day!

Had a great day running on my favorite trail in Alaska. My buddy Jay is up for a week to run crow pass on saturday, so hopefully I'll be running some good trails this week. It was just us today, so we had one car. We dropped the Car off at the finish and tried hitchhiking to the start at Primose Lake for 1.5hrs. NO LUCK!!!!! So we jogged back to my car and luckily we found someone to drive it to the start for us. So we ran the race course backwards. Beautiful day though. We didn't plan for the delayed start and we both kind of bonked towards the end. Great day though!!!!

Worked at the Her/Tern Half Marathon today. Set up and took down water stations, etc... Beautiful and sunny day for the event. I ended up not eating all day long, so after work I had to make a sandwich and take a couple hours to wait until I ran. I didn't start running till 6pm and I was tired. Still sunny and warm out too.
Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 6:10 pace for the last few miles. Averaged 6:38 for entire run. I didn't really feel that good today. I believe because it was towards the end of day and I didn't eat well or get much sleep the night before. Oh well, I got it done. Gonna sleep good tonight.

Ran my Boston prep route today and ended up running 13.1 miles. Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to sub 6 last 2 miles. Average for entire run was 6:30 pace. I felt pretty good, but legs still a little tired.

Easy recovery after work today. We've been getting overcast days all week. Nice for running, but I could use some sunny days again. Felt pretty good today.

Easy recovery pace since I ran Lost Lake yesterday. It was nice to get outside on the 4th and run a little. Felt good, but legs tired.
7/3
15 miles "Lost Lake"
Drove 2 hours to seward. Ran for 2 hours on the Lost Lake Trail. Drove 2 hours home. It may seem like a long way to drive to run, but it's my favorite run in all of Alaska. Took it easy, but was still tired on the way down. I could've pushed it more, but I want to recover from this marathon, so it was smart not too.

Nice and cool overcast day. Perfect for running. I felt the best I have all week, but legs still tired. I probably ran a little too fast, but wanted to turn the legs a little instead of just slugging along. Averaged 6:48 pace, but ran a 6:10 last mile. I'm gonna take it easy again next week, but plan on running Lost Lake easy on Wednesday.

My back was super tight this morning and during my run. I think I slept on my stomach too long. It got a little better as the run went along. Kept it super easy again. Wasn't the best run because of my back.
6/28
5 miles
Ran with a big group today from the Skinny Mini Store. I actually just ran with Jerry and Ryan Beckett because we were keeping it real easy after the marathon still. It was nice to see a group of motivated athletes. Looks like we are in the process of getting an advanced group of runners together and do some races outside of the AK. It'll be nice to do some long runs in a group format as well as some track workouts too.

Easy recovery. Nice to get outside in this sun and burn some energy. I did feel better than yesterday, but legs still dead!

Super easy pace today. I've been walking and it's felt good to get the legs moving, but I really wanted to try and run slow today. Not much energy in the legs, but it felt good to run for 30 minutes and get the heart rate up.

8 miles (2@ MP) HOT!!
Ran at 2pm and it was 84 degrees out and no clouds. I did my Marathon pace between Huffman and Dearmoun and ran a little too fast at 5:42 pace. It wasn't really comfortable but I'm going to chalk that up to the Heat. It'll be a lot cooler on saturday at 8am plus the weather is suppose to drop a little.

Beautiful and sunny out again today. It's unbelievable the weather we've been having. Ran an easy 6 miles at recovery pace, but my right hip has been bothering me when I start out. Pretty painful actually today. Need to keep an eye on that for sure.
6/13
10 miles ( 3 x 1 mile @ 5K pace w/ 2 min rest)
I ran up to Hanshew's track today to do this workout. I really wanted to do it on a track, so I didn't have to worry about traffic and see what I could do on a flat surface. The first one felt the easiest and I really had to work the last 2. Probably a little faster than 5K pace. I would say longer 5K work is my least favorite workouts. Anything over 800's I don't like. Lol

Ran with Jerry Ross on the Mayors Marathon course. It was nice to get a picture of the tank trail area. I forgot how rocky some of that section is. I'll have to make sure to pick a line and try not to waste a lot of energy through that section. We ran basically 6:30 pace through the trails and then the last 5 miles I ran sub 6 pace and it felt pretty easy. My last mile was around 5:40 pace. Now I just need to get to the line feeling rested and healthy. It's been a pretty good marathon build-up for this one. I'm excited.
6/8
10 miles (5 @ Tempo)
Felt pretty good today. I ran to Huffman and did my tempo between Huffman and Dearmoun back and forth and my last mile was gradually uphill from Huffman to O'Malley. Here it is:
3 mile warm-up w/ striders
5 miles @ Tempo (5:21, 5:32, 5:29, 5:32, 5:32)
2 mile cool down
I really like doing this on the roads instead of the track. It gives me an opportunity to run up and down hills while running at tempo pace. Today I didn't even keep track of my mile splits just went off of effort and then looked at my Garmin after my workout.

7 miles (6 x 100m striders)
Had a great time at the Mumford and Sons concert last night. Last run here in the desert, but I still ran up at the Club house because I slept in a little do to the late night. Felt really good though running at recovery pace with some striders. Looking forward to running in Anchorage temps tomorrow.
6/5
14 miles
I woke up at 5:15, because I did not want to run in the heat and I really wanted to run outside. I was out the door before 6am and it felt pretty good outside. It took me about a mile to get warmed up, but I felt good this run. Maybe I'm getting a little acclimated to this heat. Started off easy and kept progressing. My last couple miles were around 5:40- 5:45 pace. Nice to have it done early in the morning.
6/4

6/3
12 miles (7am/5pm)
Both runs were easy recovery pace. Decided to sleep in a little, so I did both runs at the club house on the treadmill to avoid the 109 degree temps here in Phoenix. Legs a little sore from yesterday's long run. I think it has to do more with the longer downhills affecting the quads, which is actually good for my training.

I felt dehydrated a little in my mouth, but overall I felt pretty good the entire run. More mental than anything when not use to this heat. I picked it up a little toward the end and ran sub 6 pace, but I figured just running in this heat was good enough.
I'm glad I ran early because it's suppose to get up to 108 degrees today!

Ran the Trent/Waldron Half this morning. Beautiful sunny morning. Temps were perfect too. About 55 degrees at the start and little wind. Felt pretty good during the race and I'm happy with the time even though I wanted to break 1:13. I ran hard that last mile, but I'm sure somewhere in the race I could've made up at least 2 seconds. Oh well. Not bad after running 3 consecutive weeks of 100 miles.

Had a real quality tempo run today. I felt really comfortable and strong the entire time. I like to hit these tempo miles with no rest. I think it's better to do them this way when training for a marathon. If I can't do it for 7 miles then I'm probably running too fast for tempo anyway. Felt good. I think the heat in the garage got to me more than the pace itself. I was sweating buckets again.

I had a very small window to run today and I was suppose to run 15 miles, but barely squeezed in 14. Ran on the treadmill again. Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 5:52 pace. I was sub 7 by mile 4 and sub 6:30 by mile 8 and sub 6:15 by mile 11. Felt really good and strong.
4/9

Getting snow this late in April is lame. Didn't want to deal with the unplowed trails, ice, and vehicles, so I just did it all the treadmill. It wasn't bad and I actually had a great run. Started at 7:30 pace and progressively was down to 5:46 pace at the very end. I was at 6:40 pace by mile 10 and 6:22 by mile 15. Overall it was pretty effortless until the last few miles. Solid week especially after having taken Monday off with the flu. Hopefully no more interruptions.

Recovery pace miles this morning. Felt good. Snowing ALOT in Anchorage right now. Sucks!
4/5
16 miles (4am/ 12pm w/ 5 @ Tempo)
4 miles of recovery pace in the morning. Legs felt a little tired in the beginning.
In the afternoon I decided to do my Tempo workout that I was suppose to do on Tuesday, but of course getting sick AGAIN, put a damper on that. Here is what I did today:
4 mile warm-up w/ 5 striders
5 miles @ Tempo (5:42, 5:39, 5:36, 5:33, 5:33)
3 mile cool down
My legs felt the same as this morning while I was warming up, but felt better as I got closer to workout. The tempo went okay and I was well with-in control, but I never felt great like I usually do on tempo workouts. I think the fact that I had the flu on monday and I'm on Antibiotics had something to do with it. Nice to get the workout in this week though. And I do feel like I'm getting rid of this damn sickness.

Off
Broke my 56 day running streak, because I came down with the FLU! I've been sick for basically 3 weeks. Nothing too severe, but I could never shake it. No way I could even attempt to run today. Temperature with the shakes and sweats. Finally had enough and went into the doctor and got on some antibiotics. I believe I have an infection in my chest. Hasn't been fun.

Decided to get my run done before kids got up on Easter morning. Woke up a t 6am and had a little coffee and I was running by 7am. Started at 7:30pace and progressed down to sub 6 pace at the end. Felt good and somewhat easy.
I had a good first cycle of this marathon build up. The cycle is called "Endurance" and I believe I've gotten better endurance and got my body ready for the demands of higher mileage coming up. The next cycle is called "Lactate Threshold + Endurance". So, my mileage will continue to be high and I will sprinkle in some LT runs and have a Marathon specific workout of 16 miles w/ 12 @ MP pace. Here I go!!!!!

Was planning to drive out by postmark road to run, but we got a snow storm this morning and I wasn't gonna struggle through the snow the entire run. So, I opted to do the whole run on the treadmill. It's a long time to be on a treadmill, but sometimes I enjoy the warmth, shorts, and music. Also, water is right there when I need it. It's hot in my garage and I do sweat a lot which is good practice if I race in hot conditions like Boston last year. Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 5:52 pace at the end. Solid week of training!!!

Super easy on the treadmill. Spent most of the day watching my amazing daughter dance at the "5,6,7,8 Dance competition at the Captain Cook" She is amazing. I'm sick during week #1 of training. Uggh. I'll just take it easy this week.
