I am a 37 year old Male.  I have been married now for over 15 years.  I have three kids, all boys.  My boys ages are 14, 11 and 7.  I have always enjoyed running and my wife is slowly being converted.   While I was going through college I didn't do much running so I am having to teach my leg how to run fast again.

10.2 miles in 1:20 a 7:50 average.  I don't like running on the treadmill but it is better than running in 15 degree smog.

10.65 miles in 1:29:43 a 8:25 mile.  This was my first run outside in almost 2 weeks.  When I started it was snowing lighly.  I ran around the base.  7 miles into the run I was averaging less then 8 minute miles, but now I was running in a blizard.  I was running into the wind and I was having trouble seeing.  When I got done there was more then 5 inches of snow on the roads, and I looked like a snowman.

11.2 miles in about 81 minutes.  I ran 2.5 miles at 7.5 miles an hour.  Then ran 4 miles at 9.5 miles an hour.  I then wimped out and ran 1.2 mile at 8.5 miles an hour then one mile at 9.5 mile an hour.  I then ran another 2.5 miles at 7.5 miles an hour.  I am mad at myself for not pushing through and lowering the pace but when your on the treadmill I get worried that I will come off the back.  When I had about .25 miles or less left I accidently hit the emergency stop.  Hitting the stop sucked.

15.1 miles in 2:07:32 a 88:27 average.  I drove Mountain Green and ran almost to Snow Basin.  This run did three things gave me a long run, Got me out of the smog, and gave a me a hill workout.  With me doing the striders winter racing series I need the hills.  I have struggled getting them.  It was so nice getting out of the smog.

7.5 miles in 60 minutes on the treadmill.  Set the tread mill to vary the grad from 0 to 10 degree and just ran.  I ended up going up 1447 feet.   I cut the run a little short so I could get to my youngest sons basket ball game.  I gave myself 35 minutes to get to the game.  It normally takes me 10 to 15 minutes to get home.  I took me an hour to get off base then another 30 minutes to get home.  I missed the game.  I would of only took 32 minutes to run home.

This was a tough workout.  Ran 20 minutes at 7.5 miles an hour. or 2.5 miles.  I then set the treadmill on a 5K program and set the treadmill to 10 miles an hour.   I finished the 5K in 18:42.   I only wish I could run that fast in a real 5K.  I then ran for 40 minutes at 7.5 miles an hour.  By the end of the 40 minutes the 8 minutes miles felt hard.  After the run I did 100 situps and 40 V ups.  I am looking forward to when the ice and smog lefts, so I can safely run outside.  I don't have a problem running in the cold, but the smog and slick roads are another thing.

Ran for 1:20:20 on a short indoor track.  The track was 13.4 laps for 1.5 miles.  I lost track of how many laps I ran.  I would time almost every lap and almost all of them was 50 seconds or less.  I ran with pretty good effort, all the turns make you tired.

I am not sure how to count this workout.  I went to the gym and all the treadmills were used.  A stair master was open so I got on it.  I was on the stair master for 40 minutes and went up 261 floors.  After getting of the stair master I did 50 sit ups and 20 leg raises and 8 assisted pull ups while waiting for a treadmill to open up.  I ran for 40 minutes a 7.5 miles an hour.  The 8 minute miles felt hard after being on the stair master.  Thursday I am hoping to run out side.
