| Ran 20.1 miles in 2:57:53 a 8:50 average. Ran the canal road. After the first mile I knew the run would be a struggle. Legs just felt tired from the start. The canal road is a dirt trail. The road doesn't have a ton of elevation gain but I seem to still struggle running very fast on it. |

| 12.05 miles in 1:38:33 a 8:11 average. My legs just didn't want to run fast today. At the end of the run I was able to run a good pace, but the first 6 or 7 my legs just didn't run very fast. |

I will do a run after work. But today at work there was another round of layoffs. Good knews I made it through another one. In my division it started out with 39 people in it. 8 people were layed off, and 6 people were transfered. I got transfered from IT to Engineering. My job shouldn't change much.
8.3 miles in 1:08:35 a 8:14 average. Today I ran almost the same pace as Monday, but the pace felt so much easier. |

8.1 miles in 1:04:11 a 7:56 average. I started out planning on doing the following workout.
Run 8 x 1200 meter repeats alternating between 800 meters at goal marathon pace and 400 meters at mile pace within each repeat. Take no recovery between the components of the repeat.
Pace: Alternating between 800 meters at marathon pace and 400 meters at mile pace.
Recovery: No recovery within each repeat. Recover with 3 minutes of passive rest between each repeat.
I planned on running the 800's in 3:25 and the 400 in 1:20, with a slow jogging lap between each rep. I ran the first 5 sets pretty good the 800's ran ran in about 3:20-3:22, the 400's I ran in about 1:25. The 800 were a little fast and the 400 a little slow. The biggest problem I was having was a very strong north wind. When I ran with the wind the pace felt really easy. With the wind in my face the pace felt like I was trying to sprint up a hill. I started the 6th rep and the wind got so strong it almost stopped me. I stopped the workout and went home. When I got home my wife said she keep hearing the wind and thinking a speed workout in this could not be fun. Ending the workout might not of been the best choice but I was not able to execute the plan as need because of the wind. |

| 13.35 miles in 1:40:00 a 7:30 average. Ran on the treadmill instead of in the rain/snow. I was only planning on running 12 miles but I wanted to see it the treadmill would go for longer than 100 minutes. It turns off at 100 minutes. I hope the weather is good for thursday so I can run outside. |

16.1 mile in 2:28 a 9:11 average. Ran on the canal road. I planned on a 20 mile road. I got up and put on a water bottle. I started running and my water bottle was getting me wet. I checked it to make sure it was closed. I started running and my pace felt hard but my pace was slow. I was having trouble running 9 minute mile. At about 8 miles in I go too get a drink and find my water bottle having about a quarter of a cup in it. I take my GU and wash it down with the water. I continue to run to 10 miles out, then turn around. At 10 miles I was averaging a 8:52 average. The first few miles went pretty good I was averaging a 8:15 mile. Then 14 miles into the run and I hit the wall. I couldn't run faster then a Ten minute mile. 15 miles in my vision started going blurry. At 16 miles I just couldn't run any more. I called my wife and had her come get me. It was interested having her come get me. First I was on a trail so I had to find a way to get to a road she could drive on. I walked down to the road. This was strange. I was thinking it was from dehydration but I was still swetting. When I got home I had a bad head ache. I had lost 3 pounds during the run. When I started the run I weighed 163.4 pounds this is the lowest I have weighed in a while, so I could of been dehydrated when I started. I ran about 4 o'clock on Friday so I only had about 14 hours between workouts. Wensday, Thurday and Friday was a pretty hard workouts.

| 12 miles in 1:21:12 a 6:46. It was raining outside so I ran on the treadmill. Running fast on the treadmill is not the same as on the road but it was good to see what the legs could do. |

| 13 miles in 1:39:02 a 7:37 average. Ran a big loop around Brigham City. I was debating on doing a speed workout but my legs felt sore before I started so checked out of the speed workout. I signed up for the striders 30K today, so I am committed to running in my first race this year. We will see how it goes. I am not tappered. I just want to see where my conditioning compares to last year. |

| 5 miles in 42:19 a 8:19 average. Ran on the frontage road. This was an easy run. My legs felt a little sore from Mondays and Wensdays workout. I was planning on running 8 miles but 2.5 miles into the run calf doesn't feel right. I stop and stretch it out really good, then very slowly run home. I don't want any set backs. This is the same calf that I had trouble with last year. |

| Ran the Striders 30K 2:13:59 a 7:10 mile. The race didn't go as well as I had hoped. My time was about 1:50 slower then last year. I didn't seem to have the higher gear today. When I finished I went into a coughing fit. I have bunch of stuff stuffing me up. Ran a mile warm up. After the race I ran another 3.3 miles. I will add more latter.
