Not fast but not fast.

Ran 4 miles in 30:00.

Ran 4.25 in 32:00 in the evening.

Got up early this morning to run with Jeff, Grey, and Curt.  We had a great run up the hills of Sunnyside road towards Bone.  It was a little chilly and windy but still good running weather.  It was fun to run with Jeff, Grey, and Curt as they pushed me to my limits!  Ran 10 miles in 1:20:50 with 1300 feet of elevation gain.  Great run with great people.

Ran 7 miles in 56:00.

Ran 7 miles in 54:00.  Legs were still pretty tired from Friday's hill run.

Ran 4 miles in 27:46.

4 miles on my lunchbreak in 30 min.

Ran 5 miles in 38:00.

Perfect weather for the race.  The course was very tough, but I really enjoyed it.  Somehow I found myself mentally in the race even between miles 18-24 which is when I'm usually pretty checked out and running in zombie mode.  I think it was because of the nice long hill through those miles.  Race was very well organized and had great support except for not having any water cups at mile 20.  I was happy with my performance for the first marathon of the year on a difficult course.  I did get some nice blisters which is rare and I think it was partly the Swiftwick socks, INOV8 shoes, and running with the midfoot strike for so long.

Still pretty stiff from the marathon.  Ran 3.1 in 27:40.  I plan on running again later today.

Ran 4.9 miles in 38:00.  Blisters from marathon hurt today. 

Ran 6.34 miles at 7:20 pace on my lunchbreak down to the library and back. We went to the drive-in last night and didn't get to bed until 2am so I was too tired to run this morning.

Ran with great company this morning- Jeff, Gray, and Dane Rauschenberg.  Went 6.3 miles at around a 7:30 pace.  It was very early and I'm still wondering if it was just a dream.

Ran 5.28 at 7:36 pace.

Ragnar begins:

Leg 1: 3.24 miles in 20:32 which was a 6:21 average pace.  Fastest I've ran in over a year!

Leg 2: 10 miles in 1:15:16 which was a 7:31 pace.

Leg 3: Ragnar Hill: 3.18 miles in 37:29 which was a 11:46 pace with 1484 feet of elevation gain.

Ran up AF Canyon past Timp Cave to Little Mill Campground and back. 13.64 miles with 1300 feet of elevation gain in 1:50:19 with an 8:02 average pace.

Ran 4.25 miles in 34:00.

Ran 3.25 miles at a 7:30 pace on my afternoon break.

4.25 miles at a 7:44 pace.

3.5 miles at 7:46 pace in the hot afternoon.

Ran 13.2 miles in 1:40. Felt great.

Ran the To Bone and Back relay on the team "Teton Running Bones".  I was leg 3 and ran 5 miles in 33:01 which is a 6:36 average pace.  I felt really good and had a fun time with the team.  When I began my leg, I was running side by side tied in first place with some other team.  I though for sure that the kid was going to blow me away but I was hanging with him for the first two miles.  Then he started slowing down and by the time I finished the five mile leg, I was about five or six minutes ahead of him.  That put our team out in front and with our other super fast young team members, we never looked back.  We ended up winning by 7-8 minutes overall with a time of 4 hours and 13 minutes over the total 40 mile race.

6.25 miles at a 7:16 average pace on a beautiful morning.

3.9 miles on lunchbreak at 7:17 pace.

6 miles at 7:47 pace.

3 miles at 7:40 pace.

Decided to run a little longer this morning after taking yesterday off.  Went 12.18 miles in 1:29:17.  Almost stepped on a snake on Foothill Road.
