Hardest run I've ever done... 16M into the WIND.  Ran to Shelley.  Last week my pace was 9:57 for 15M.  This time my average pace was 10:41, that's how strong the wind was... YUCK.  But I didn't quit...  Hopefully the weather will get better....

Finally!!!!!  A nice day for a run......  Sun was out, I was in shorts, HAPPY DAY!!!!  NO complaints here....  Hopefully it will continue, although the forecast doesn't look too promising.  Bad week last week, so it's time to get re-charged!!!  Decided to do my longer mid week run yesterday since the weather was so nice.  Gearing up for a LONG 18M run on Saturday....

My paln was to head to the gym because of the weather, but when I got home I decided it wasn't that bad.....  Headed out with a little sprinkle...but it quickly turned into a down pour!!!  Miley and I were the only idiots out and about, with the exception of the soccer players at Community Park...  I was soaked, but I managed to get 4M logged.

Well, it was a nice day without the wind so I made arrangements to leave work early and head out for a long run.  Hoping for 18, but ended with 15.  Started to really rain and it was getting dark.  Started out with a 9:25 pace, but ended with a 10:30 pace.  I was tired and didn't have enough GU...  Iced my knees when I got home.  But one way or another I will finish this marathon...  20M scheduled for next Wednesday (work trip over the weekend)....  I'm scared!

Wow, first time ever!  Made it out yesterday for my last long run before Ogden.  Jeff helped me tremendously, set the pace for the first 12.  Then I had to slow down a bit....  That's just a long time to run, but we got it done....  One way or another I'll finish Ogden.  I didn't feel like I hit the "wall", but I was very tired.  No doubt about that.  I'm bit worried about my socks, because I did end up with two large blisters on my big toes.

I ran the Judge Gutierrez 5K at the Hispanic Youth Symposium in Sun Valley.  Probably 100 high school students and a handful of adults!  It was a great afternoon, sun was shining!  I had my personal best:  25:20.  8:09 average pace!  Pretty excited about that.  Thought it was really fun passing a few high school boys at the end!  :) LOL
