| Averaged 7:12, with a slow warmup mile. i felt sluggish in the second half - probably because I haven't run in days (i was at cont ed classes in vegas friday and saturday and didnt run). It was a satisfactory run time-wise, but I felt like I had to work too hard. Clyde is getting ready for utah valley this weekend, and claimed he didn't need to run any faster than that. I still have a long time before the half, but I need to up my effort starting now.

| Thought about yassos, but the hammies were taught, so I did a slow run to warm up, then did 2 fast miles (no watch, felt like under 7min/mile) then cooled down. |

| Ran with Clyde and Steve. hamstrings still tight, and i was dragging, but it was a good run. three of the miles were under 7:30 which is satisfactory. i am worried about qualifying for NY at hobble. i need some speed. clyde is going to help me out with a training plan. |

My first day on the Half Marathon training program designed by Clyde. I am excited. 477 miles to go...
Summit loop with Steve. Average pace, but we slowed on the second half. My legs felt bad - like I had bruised calves. Hope it feels better for tomorrows tempo. |

Wow. The first big test and I barely passed. Ran 3 really slow warmup miles until my calfs felt ok. They have felt bruised and tight for days. I worked them over really well last night with the stick (Fathers Day present) and i think that helped. I did 3 miles at race pace. The first half mile I couldnt even find the pace, it has been a long time since I ran that fast (6:20). And then it took me another half mile to find some "peace". I just couldnt setlle down, relax, and get in a groove. By the time I was "dialed in" and feeling like I was in the right gear, I started running out of gas. I really really labored through that third mile and held it together. I was so oxygen-deprived and tired, that I walked an entire mile, then did the "ironman shuffle" home for two miles. So, i made the race pace for three miles, but had to walk. I have a long way to go. But today's run was mostly flat, the race will have a nice downhill.

| Ran down the course early this morning, and I felt fantastic. I forgot how much easier it is going downhill, feeling a lot better about the race.
Started with Duckett and Steve ; we didnt finish together, but everyone had good days. Here are my splits for the first four miles:
7:35 warmup, 6:46 steve still with me, 6:52 in a good rhythm, feeling great , 6:07 decided to let it go and see how it felt. slowed to 7:08 going up the ledges hill. I stopped halfway for my gatorade and walked around until steve caught up, we jogged up the rest of the hill, then hit it hard all the way down to the church. my splits were : 6:08, 5:58, 6:14, 6:22 then I cooled to 6:40 and then jogged a half mile at super slow pace. feeling great.

| Totally bombed on my tempo tuesday run. i was hoping to hold race pace through four flat miles. My splits were 615, then I blew up and mentally lost it for a 715, but finished with 650 and 650. bad day, oh well. | |

Went really early, felt great, ran along the river. Did it as a tempo and hit almost a mile under race pace, but slowed back down. i just wanted to remind myself what race pace feels like.
