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.

I ran 8 miles in the morning.  After work I ran my first speed workout in a while.  I warmed up by running about a mile and a half then I ran 4 mile laps around a park with a 3 minute rest between each lap.  My mile times were 6:30, 6:14: 6:12, 612.  It was good I was running faster as the run went on.

ran the Park city marathon in 3:25:13.  I am feeling pretty good about my time.  The course is not easy.  My first half was in 1:36:??.  At the half I was feeling OK but I know I had to use the rest room.  I had to use the rest room at a part running an extra 50 yards and I know It took my longer than I would like.  At mile 17 I ended up going off course for a little.  The at mile 18 was not cool.   After mile 18 I was in true no mans land.  I couldn't see and running in front of me and when I looked back I couldn't see anyone behind me.   After going off course earlier, it was a little nerve racking.

8 miles.  I ran to the fire station and back.  I didn't run very hard.  This will be the first of a two a day.  I am planning on doing a speed workout after work.

 

8.6 mile workout after work.  I ran 8.6 miles in 1:12:?? a 8:09 average.  I started off running 1.4 miles warm up, then I stretched.  Then the speed workout started.  The plan was to run 6 mile repeats with a .15 mile walk inbetween each mile repeat.  The walk should take 3 minutes.  I am running around the clinton park.  The path around the park is 1.15 miles.  I should say that before I started the workout I was feeling very hungry.  I ate lunch but it was pretty small for me.  I ended up only doing five repeats.  The times of the miles were 6:08, 6:12, 6:12, 6:42, and 6:32.  After I ran the 6:42 I just about ended the workout.  My legs were feeling heavy, and I was even having trouble swinging my arms to power through the last quarter mile.  I was glad the last one went a little better.   It didn't help that it was 90 degrees with a 20 % humidity while doing this run.  I need to continue to do workouts like this if I am going to run sub 3 at St George in 5 weeks.

8 miles not timed.  After my workout last night my legs are so tired and slow.  It also didn't help that I biked to work but when I got to my normal gate it was closed.  I had to ride to the Roy gate.  This added about 5 miles to my commute.
