| After a long break, I'm back. I took some time off over the holidays. Well, it was over the holidays, but I mostly took the break to finish up my honors thesis and to apply to PhD programs. Since those are all done, I have no excuse. Also, since I'm not sure where we'll be living this fall--please respond with haste admissions committees (and in the affirmative)--I'll probably try to run the Utah Valley Marathon in June. With some good training and some birthday luck (the race is one day after my birthday), I'd like to shave a lot of time off of my 3:08 time. I am also ready for some warmer weather. Well, today my goal was just to get out and move my legs, and it was a success. I only went 2.5 miles, but it went well. Besides the fact that it is still far too cold, it was a nice run. Here's to some good training. I'll also try to be a bit better about writing a little more in my comments, even though I'm quite sure that the only time I get responses is when I show up in the lone faithfuls section. Alas... If anyone reads this, I hope you have a great day!

| I went on a nice 3.5 mile run. I was surprised to find that my pace was under 7:45, since I wasn't pushing all that hard and it has been a long break. But it was a pleasant surprise. It was quite cold, but not as bad as it has been for much of the winter. Well, that's it for today. |

| It was a nice morning run. A little bit drizzly, but I wore a hat (a new purchase through ebay) and it was quite nice. I can definitely handle the high 30s. So far, we've heard back from Vanderbilt (I'm high on a waiting list of 3) but not from any other schools. Running will be a good thing to do to help with the waiting game. |

It is time to get back to serious, or at least consistent, running. I need to do a better job at getting out in the morning some of the time, otherwise I miss too many days. But it was an easy 3.5 mile run this morning and it was a nice way to start the day. Though I wish the weather would finally make up its mind, preferably choosing Spring instead of Winter.
In the afternoon I went 1.5 miles easy.

| I ran the Provo City Half-Marathon with my mom. I was pacing her and letting her draft off me for most of the way. So it was basically a nice a relaxed long-ish run. It was longer than I had planned to go this weekend, though, so it bumps up my weekly mileage nicely. Now I just need to keep building. |

| Morning: 4 miles in 31:50, much of it was on grass, which felt great and was a lot of fun. I need to do that more often. Evening: 3 miles, 2 miles on grass. I need to be more consistent with my training, if only to maintain a higher level of fitness. I do think that I'll shoot for a fast marathon in 2010. I'm not yet sure about time, but I think under 2:45. If I can get some consistent miles, I think that's well within reach. I've run a 3:08 after 3 months training, so I think with over a year of good mileage, I could drop that time quite a bit.

| No running today since our new baby, Nathan, was born at 3:43 in the morning. He came a few weeks early, so we weren't quite ready, but he's been healthy and we're happy to have him with us. This has been my best week of training for quite a while, which owes as much to my recent lack of quality training as it does to the quality of this week. But we're moving up! |

I went 10 miles up around Provo Canyon, some going up, and some going down. It was fun to see the winner of the Half-marathon (I think Jeff, who runs with Sasha), and to run with the race for some of it. I'm getting to be in better shape (of course that's relative) with some consistency with miles over the last while. Now I just want to keep building and then keep a base of at least 40 from here on out. I think that would help me to avoid injuries and to run faster times. It's been a long time since I have put in a consistent stretch of higher miles, and I'd like to see what would happen if I could put in a few years of consistent training, even if it's not always the highest mileage. I think with a few years of 40-60 miles per week I could really run some good times. With that, I'm planning on consistently running on grass and throwing in more speed and hills in order to get a faster top speed. I've always had good endurance and decent speed, but if I could get more comfortable running a faster pace (in the 4-5 minute per mile range), I think that would allow me to run some solid times.

| I went with Zach to Bicentennial Park (about 2 miles) and then we ran around the park. For about 8 minutes, I did a fast 30 seconds followed by 30 easy. I'm trying to play around with some speed to get a little bit faster. This was a great start to the week. |

| I went on a 2.5 mile warmup to the cemetery. Then I did 8 400s, alternating between fast and slow. My times for the faster ones were 86, 83, 82, 78. I know this isn't blazing fast, but it's a start for me to get some speed again (and, hopefully, to improve on what speed I had previously). |

| This was a pretty easy 3 mile run in the middle of the day. A mile to and from the park and about a mile barefoot at the park. I don't want to get too many miles too soon, so I've peeled back the last couple days. But I'm feeling good right now, so that's nice. |

| This was an easy-ish run (though it was a little hot and I was pushing Joshua in the stroller). My sister let me use their stroller since ours is already in California. This was really nice of her, and it also helped me decide that I actually quite like our running stroller. My legs are feeling good and I'm really happy with this week of running. This puts me in a good position to start getting a solid base of at least 40 miles per week. |

| I went on a 12 mile run up Provo canyon. My dad was riding a bike, and I went with him for the last 5 miles (close to a 7 minute per mile pace, maybe a little bit faster). Total time was 1:45, with the last 6 in 42:00. This was a good finish to a good week for me. Now time to rest and get ready for another week. I'll probably do some massage on my calves and quads, and maybe do some ice. I'm not really all that sore, so this would be more preventative than anything.

| I ran to the cemetery and then did 5 400s with an easy 400 between each faster one. My times for the 400s were 83, 80, 80, 76, 78. This is faster than last week and I'm feeling quite good. Still a long way to go as far as speed goes, but this is a good start. |

I ran the last part of the marathon with my mom. I have only recently gotten over my 6 week long flu/cold, so it felt good to be able to run again.

| I did a 3.25 loop around UCR campus. I was surprised at how fast I went, considering the shape I'm in right now: 21:10. Not that that's blazing, but since I had been sick for so long, I was quite surprised to go that fast. The course was measured, so I'm confident that it's at least pretty close. |

It was a nice mid morning run. Anna and the boys are visiting family, while I'm staying for school. They'll be back soon, though, so I'm excited. I'm walking to school everyday which is about a mile each way and then around campus, so I'm not entirely sedentary. This year has been a slow running year, with a trip to Germany, a baby, applying to and deciding on graduate school, moving to the school we chose, and then my 6-week cold/flu, but I'm optimistic for the rest of the year and for next. And school is great!
