It was a good Monday run. Part of my run was to run some errands--literally. I got a couple inner tubes for our jogging stroller and some slime. I'm hoping to bump up my miles just a bit this week, probably to 44-45 or so, and then keep building for the marathon. I'd like to keep my miles a bit higher over the next year, probably keeping in mind a marathon next year. Maybe Boston or St. George or Top of Utah, with a goal to drop my time down below 2:45 or so.
I think I could be pleasantly surprised with consistent miles, but I'd like to at least get around there for the next year.

I did 3 x 1 mile repeats with 2/3 mile recovery. The splits were 6:26, 6:22, and 6:20. After the third recovery jog, I did 1/3 a mile in 1:14 (5:42 pace). My speed has a long way to go, but this is a step up from last week and I'm happy with it considering I'm also building mileage right now. I felt much better today than I did a week ago, and my repeats were significantly faster.

It was a nice recovery run today. Finishing in the fivefingers felt really nice. It's busy right now with the class I'm teaching, but I'm feeling really good about training right now.

| I ran on a loop to Andulka Park and back home. Previously I thought it was 2.5 out, but it turns out it's actually 3, so some of my runs have been longer than I had been thinking (and I've been going a significantly faster pace overall than I had thought). I felt really good today and am looking forward to my long run! |

| My long run was broken up due to some family activities. I ran 14.5 in the morning, about nine with the boys in the stroller. Then went 3 more in the evening just to bump up the total mileage. I actually feel really good and am happy with how I've been feeling as I've increased mileage. I don't have nearly as many little aches as I've had in the past, and I'm hoping that my work on form and just running smarter in general is contributing to this. If so, then I'm confident that I'll be able to have some solid mileage and eventually get some pretty solid marathons in the coming years! |

| I went a bit farther than I had planned today, but I was also able to take care of some errands during my run. My legs are feeling good after last week, so that's encouraging. Tomorrow will be interesting. I'm debating whether I will do mile repeats again or if I'll try something different. But today was a good start to another week. | |

| I did 1.5 warmup then 3 1-mile repeats in 6:24, 6:20, and 6:17 with 1/2 a mile recovery between. I did a 2.5 mile cooldown after. Since I had a shorter recovery time in between repeats and still went about 3 seconds faster per mile than last week (and I've been building miles), I'm pretty happy with the workout. I'd like to get these down under 6 consistently, but I think that will come as I keep doing some type of speedwork and, more importantly, keep increasing miles and maintaining a good aerobic base. |

| I went 6.5 with Zach just around Riverside and the campus generally. It was a good run, and felt like a pretty good recovery run. |

| I went running with Zach again, just around Riverside. We went up to Islander Park and ran at the trails there and then just sort of ran around, finishing with a little bit in fivefingers. |

| I started with 7 pushing Joshua in the stroller around campus. Then I ran by myself to Andulka Park, did 6 miles there and then ran back. Then I finished with 2 miles in fivefingers to wrap it up. 21 total. I was planning on 20, so this was a good run. I've actually felt quite good all things considered and hope that it continues as I keep building and maintaining mileage. |

| Just an easy run around the neighborhood and around campus, 6 of it with Joshua in the stroller. | |

| I went 3.5 easy, then did 4 in 27:13, and then 1.5 in my fivefingers. I know the tempo wasn't blazingly fast, but it was a nice change and really felt quite easy, which was encouraging. |

| My right heel/achilles was a little sore today, so I took it pretty easy. I'll probably take tomorrow off. It's not too bad, so I'm not worried, but I'll play it safe right now. (It's also nice because in the past it's been my left leg that's had issues when I've been building miles. And that feels fine right now.) |

7 miles very easy, since my right foot was still a bit sore, and I wanted to give it some time to rest before tomorrow.

10 miles of walking/running since my right heel has been really sore. I'm wondering if I sprained it.

| After a week of rest, ibuprofen, and grading final papers, I tested the waters. It hurt the last little bit, but I was still able to run, which is a big step up from last week. |

| Easy today, just hoping that I can get better. Sore the last half. But not as bad as it has been lately. |
