Just wanted to get out today, but I had a lot to do and got a late start, so it wasn't much of a run.

It was a nice, easy run around family housing and a good start to the week.  I'm just trying to be consistent and slowly build miles, so I can have a good base later in the year.  I don't have specific mileage goals right now, but I'd like to get above 1500 at least, and more would be nice.  The key for me will be to not have too many gaps, which have been coming at the beginning and end of the year.  I think if I can get my miles more consistent, I could easily go under 3:00 in the marathon and could go under 2:50 pretty realistically.  Last year I was on pace for under 3 hours through 17-18 miles then I had a sharp pain in my knee.  It was strange since it hasn't hurt since, but my training wasn't fantastic for most of the year last year, so if I can be better this year, I think I'll be in a better position to go faster.

I ran down to the baseball complex and ran around on the grass there.  It's been a pretty good week, and with some sort of run tomorrow, I'm really happy at this point (much better than last January).

I went on a good run with the boys in the stroller and Anna with us on a bike.  Because she was on the bike, it helped push the pace quite a bit and could be a really nice way to train.

We've caught a pretty nasty cold/congestion bug, so I haven't been able to do much running the last little bit.  I have been riding my bike to and from school, so I haven't been sedentary.  But it was nice to get running again today.

Actually about 3 or 4 of this was easy and then the rest was at a pretty decent pace.  I also threw in alternating hard and easy spurts of 45 seconds and then 30 seconds for probably 10 minutes or more.  I was pushing the boys in the stroller, which bumps up the exertion level a little.  The congestion is mostly cleared up and that's really nice.  My goal is to maintain or slowly build up over the next month or so (maintaining close to or more than 30 miles per week), since this quarter's schedule isn't as amenable to high miles.  But then come June, I'll build even more, since my teaching is much more flexible in the summer session (which goes through mid July) and then I'm free for family time, writing, and running until later September.

This was sort of a piecemeal run since I was making bread in the morning and ran while it was rising/baking.  A good chunk of the run was on grass, and that was nice.  I just registered for the St. George lottery, so here goes!  Last year was pretty disappointing because I was in shape to break 3 and was on pace to do so through the first 18 miles of the race or so.  Then, after a sharp pain in my knee, I had to walk the rest of the way.  I have a better start this year than I did last year, so I'm confident I'll be even a bit ahead of where I was last year.  I'd really like to break 3 hours, and think it would be nice to get around 2:50 this year.

After a 1 mile warmup, I did a 4-mile tempo run with splits of 6:26, 6:29, 6:30, and 6:41.  Then I did a 2-mile cooldown pretty easy pace.  My perceived exertion was not too high, so that was nice.  I did slow down a bit at the end, but I'm happy with where I am at this time of year.  A little surprised at how easy it feels to be going a little faster.

I did my long run early this week, since I'll be traveling and it may be harder to get in a long run.  I first ran about 7 miles up in the trails near Islander Park.  Then I went to Andulka, ran 2.5 miles there and back.  Then I ran a little cooldown on the grass near my house.  In total, about 16 miles (I think a little more) in around 2:08.  I was going closer to 7:30-7:40 pace on the parts that I know the mileage, so I'm guessing it was actually a bit more than 16.  This was great.  I felt tired at the end, but not hurting.  I knew I needed to start getting some longer runs in, and this was a boost of confidence at this stage.  Plenty of work to be done, but I think I'm at an okay place so far.

8 miles in Providence today.  It was actually a very nice run around the town and through the cemetery.  I have a blister on my toe and a little chafing, but I'm sure it will get better.

I went 18 up in Logan, with the first 10 around 8 minute pace and then the last 8 dipping down to 7 and sometimes a little faster.  So it was a really good long run to end the week.  Now to rest and get ready for next week.

I did a speed workout with my mom today.  We did a warmup and then I did 1 mile in 6:40, 2 miles in 13:45, and then 800s in 2:59 and 2:56.  It was a decent effort but not too bad, so this was nice.  Now the goal is to maintain a buildup while working in some sort of speedwork.

10 miles up on the Bonneville shoreline trail.  I felt really good for the Monday after a 20-miler, so that's encouraging.  Hopefully I can maintain solid miles over the next couple weeks before I start to taper down.  This year I've been pretty happy with my consistency and would like to keep it up for the rest of the year and then carry it over to next year so I can have a much stronger base in the coming years.

I did right around 14 in 1:38, which is right about 7 minutes per mile.  I had a few slower ones while I was pushing the boys in the stroller, but I did the last three miles averaging 6:15, and that felt pretty good.  This week has felt really good, so I'm hoping that translates into a smooth marathon.  I'd like to break 3 hours, but after last years weird race, I'd be happy with a sub 3:10/3:05.  This year has been great for me as far as consistency, so I'm encouraged for future years.

I did 3 miles out (averaging 7:20/mile), then went 3 miles back (averaging 6:15/mile), then with one mile pretty easy.  I was pretty happy with how these paces felt at this stage.  After the marathon, I'd like to do more tempo work to improve my pace, while maintaining a stronger base.  The Altras have been really great.  I'm still not sure what shoes to wear in St. George.  I'm debating between the Kinvaras and the Brooks Launch.  I like the Altras and think I could race in them at some point, but I don't think I'll do that right now.  My long run last Saturday felt great in the Kinvaras.  And after more time in the Altras, I think I'm in better shape for the Kinvaras.

So the first four miles were pretty easy-ish pushing the boys in the stroller.  Then I went the next 3 averaging 6:40 per mile and then last 3 averaging 6:10 per mile.  This felt really good so I'm hoping that bodes well for St. George.  I'd just like to have a smooth, uneventful race.  I'd love to break 3 hours, but would be happy with 3:05 or even 3:10.  Next year, I'll be looking to cut it down to under 2:50 or so, which I hope comes with more consistent miles and some more tempo runs and such.

0.8026.200.000.0027.00

So, I was on pace for about a 2:58 marathon through 15-16 miles, then I felt the same pain in my knee as last year. Strange, since it's been a year since I felt it last. Alas... But this year I ran instead of walked through it and finished in 3:18. So, I was happy enough with my race, even though I am confident I could have broken 3, which was my goal. I think I need to train for racing on the hills more than I have, because I think that's related to the issue. I have only had the problem at the St. George Marathon, so that's a little frustrating. But I'll have some down-ish time while slowly building back up and then work on tempo runs and getting good miles in the coming year. I'm not sure what I'll race next year. I like St. George but the race hasn't gone that well the last couple years. I may try Top of Utah again or a race out here in California. We'll see. But I'm confident I can break 3 and, with the right training, break it with room to spare.

I think I'll also do a half-marathon or two in the next little while. I'll post my mile splits when I get my watch, but I wanted to update my log today.

Four miles around campus with the boys in the stroller.  I'd say easy, but they're getting big enough that on hills it's not so easy :)

Mostly easy but I did a few hill repeats up by the Botanic gardens on campus. I'm going to be working on hills more in the future as well as trying to maintain a better base to get under 3 hours in the next year.  If it hadn't been for this funny knee thing, I'd have been under a couple times now.  Here's to making it safely under next time!

This is 4.5 miles for the week.  I went two days, but I can't remember which ones.  We had a new baby on Monday, so that sort of (rightfully) took over the week.

4.5 in the morning with the boys.  It's coming up on the end of the quarter, so grading will take a lot of time, along with working on my own writing.  But I'm really looking forward to the break in another week or so.  And I love the "winter" here in Riverside.  It's great running weather and just pretty pleasant overall.

6 miles in Provo.   It was pretty cold, but I'm sure that's largely due to being used to California.
