| Normal Thursday run with the guys. It was good to get out with them after what has been close to a month of not running together. Based on relative fitness levels going up hills, I have been keeping up even though I have been training solo on runs and spending a lot of time on the bike. Kurt was there and pushed hard going up the hills. He took me by about 4-5 seconds up both hills today. I was surprised that we arrived at the top of 2000 North (1 mile hill) 1:45 ahead of Larry and Paul. I felt I could have pushed it harder, but I was afraid that Kurt would also have pushed it harder if I had. I was in enough pain as it was. I sure felt last nights Bike ride. I pushed that ride alot and felt a nice burn in my legs even as I started out on today's run. It was a good kind of burn though. The kind that says you have been pushing yourself. |

| Paul, Larry, Kent, Wayne, Kerry, and Greg Wrubel ran. Good run up Provo Canyon to Trefoil with some additional mileage up to Timp Cave. Felt good during the run and pushed pace near end to 7:00 per mile. For most of run I wasn't cognizant of pace but just going with the flow. I was a little disappointed that the pace wasn't faster when Paul brought it to my attention after the halfway mark. We finished 20 miles in under 3 hours including stops. Paul said we did the last 10 miles in 1:17 which is only a 7:42 average. That's not too great especially when you consider that a couple of the last miles were a little under 7:00 pace. We'll see how it goes next week at Provo River Half Marathon. Now is crunch time to get ready for a PR at Top of Utah. I have seven weeks left and I feel uncertain that I can go under 3 hours. I feel confident that I can qualify for Boston at a 3:20 marathon time, but I was really hoping to do much better. We'll see how I can step up the training over the next 6 weeks. |

| Didn't want a speed workout at the track and so I ran solo through Lindon for about 5 flat miles and then met up with Kent, Larry, Kurt and Paul at the track. After running a couple of miles, I decided I could have handled a speed workout. At the beginning of the run I was still a little tired from Saturday's 20 miles. I am running Provo River Half on Saturday and don't want to push it too hard, though I want to run every day this week. |

| Solo run at night through Lindon and PG. Took flat loop out to Lindon Park and back.Ran first half rather slow bit picked up the pace considerably coming back. I think I am going to get out on my roadbike tomorrow. I finished up the run at about 11:30 and will not likely be able to get up for the normal Wednesday hill run. I know I am racing on Saturday but I feel I need to get out every day this week. |

| Ran Provo River Half Marathon. Did it in 1:35 which was considerably slower than I had hoped. I am really going to have to work on training at speed to get my half marathon time below 1:30. Wayne ran it in 1:32 and Kerry ran it in 1:34 I think. Greg ran it in 1:31 or something close to that. I need more miles in my legs, I think. I actually sped up at the end, so it was not a problem of fading. My last couple of miles were at 7:01 and 6:53 pace and it was flatter with more turns. Some girl tried to pass me in the last 100 feet. I surged and pulled ahead but when she surged again, I had to give it an all out sprint for the last 50 feet to take her by a couple of strides. I came into the final chute so fast I scared a couple of runners ahead of me. FWIW - I arrived at the bus pickup at 5:35. I barely missed getting on three different rounds of buses before I ended up on the very last bus. That would not have been too bad had the lines at the bathrooms not been so long. I warmed up a bit before getting in line at the portapotties. I did fight to get to the start line and crossed the start line at about 2:15 after the gun. Then I fought my way through the first couple of miles through the throngs. I know I would have been much better off if I had been near the front at the start. I was just on my way back from the Portapotties as the gun went off. Let's see how this week's training goes. This week I am going to have to time myself and see if I can go under a 7:00 pace for the ten miles of Provo River Trail. Perhaps I can get Kurt to go with me. |

| Ran solo this morning. It seemed odd that no one showed, but I know Larry and Kent are out of town. I ran the normal Tuesday route and added on an additional 2 miles at the end. All in all I felt good. Unfortunately forgot my HRM. I hope to add an additional 2-4 miles to each run this week. |

| Went with Rusty. Some miles were slow, some were fast when I jumped into another group along the trail. Rusty wasn't feeling too fast. |

| Ran solo intervals on the track. Legs were somewhat hammered from weekend. We'll see how they feel tomorrow. Sasha, I did one mile intervals at a sub 7:00 pace with the last interval of 1/2 mile at a 6:12 pace. |

| Ran with the big group this morning. Larry, Kent, Kurt and Paul showed. I got out for a quick 2 miles at a 7:00 pace before joining the rest of the group for the normal Tuesday route of 6 miles. My first 2 miles were quick for being the first 2 miles of the run but I think it helped me warm up for the 2000 North Hill. I pushed it hard up the 2000 North hill and hung with Kurt until the last 2 and a half blocks. I lost 8 seconds to Kurt on the way up the hill. Not bad, but I should be finishing even or winning the sprint - even if he is 25 years younger. Paul was hurting and cut out early. Larry and Kent were running rather strong. It is good to see Larry run well. |

| Ran tempo for Monday's route. Kurt and I led the group and finished 4:12 ahead of Larry and Kent. We ran the 6.2 mile route in 45:14. We did about 2.5 miles at about 6:45 pace but slacked off on the last 3 miles. The time did include a short break for Water at Lindon Park. |
