Felt sick.  Ran 6 from my office before leaving to drive up to BYU.  Had no energy.

13 from the BYU track meet up Provo canyon with Logan.  Warm but doable.  Steady on the way up, faster on the way back.  Nice to get it done and not feel crappy like the day before.

9 at the byu track meet.  1 loop around campus and then back for the medley race then 6 out towards Provo canyon.  Should have done more when I got home but that wasn't going to happen.

Ran 1.5, then could feel something wrong with my calf so I walked back to the office.  Went to April later that evening and she worked it over pretty good.

Headed out to test the calf, hoping it would loosen up as i got into the run.  the opposite happened, after about 3.5 I had to just walk it in.  Injuries suck.

2 with the team up in Cedar.  Was hoping the calf (left) would be back to normal but after the warm up I could tell it was no bueno.  shut it down.

An hour elliptical this evening.  Had Adam work me over this morning, it seemed to fix the calf.

Swam 1.5 miles in the summit pool  Then tried a 2.5 mile run on the calf.......felt good. 

7 miles with the doctor and lawyer at lunch.  Calf made it through without any problems.

10 at lunch with the doctor.  It's getting hot outside. Averaged 7:59 for the run.  Calf is a bit tight but doesnt hurt.

10 with Logan from the team hotel into Springville.  Spent most of the run talking about the 2 mile race and marathon training.  Figured it would be hard for the 4 boys we had in the 2 mile to score the 21 points the team needed them to get, but they did great and ended up getting us 22 points.  Fun way to end the season.

No AM run and a 2 AM arrival back in St George killed my plan of going out for an evening run.

6 in the morning through bloomington hills park up to web hill.

7 at lunch with the lawyer from his office to Bloomington.  8:10 average on a pretty hot run.

11 this morning.  The first 6 with Brett and Dave and then another 5 on my own.

Woke up this morning and my left calf was still pretty beat up from having April work it over, so I skipped the morning run.  Got caught at work Nd didn't make it out for a run until 5 or so.  Ran the Bloomington loop with an extension to hit 9.  Calf is sore but probably just bruised a bit from the brutality it endured on the massage table.  Hoping to get a couple of solid weeks of running in and then really buckle down into marathon training mode come June.

6.1 this morning by myself.  Left calf was surprisingly tender.  Bothered me less as the run progressed.

7.0 at lunch with the doctor.  River road bridge to the mall and back.  Picked up on the way back for a couple of miles under 7 minutes.  I am afraid that it will be the last time running at lunch without the heat being a big factor.  Summer is coming.........

11 at lunch, most of it with the doctor.  Went from my office to the Dixie center up through tonaquint and back.  7:50 avg for the 7.5 with the dr.

Long run Saturday.  Slept in a bit because it wasn't going to be super hot and I could get away with it.  Ran 16.1 on the trails, around st James and the Bloomington loop.  Not fast but that's ok because the legs are pretty tired after jumping back into it this week.  Left calf is still bugging me but goes away after 2-3 miles of warmup.

11.2 this morning around the mayors loop and st james a couple of times with my younger brother.  Left calf is still bugging... Time to figure out a fix.

11.2 after work in the heat.  Up all night with a sick kid so the morning run didn't happen.  It was 101 when I left the house, but I took a water bottle and was pleasantly surprised how well I did in the heat.  St James + Eagles Landing + Bloomington Hills Park + Dixie Center and back.

11.2 seems to be the number this week.  Ran the first 8 with the Dr around the mayors loop and back, then did 3 more on my own.  Legs were still sluggish from last night.  Left calf still sore and bugging, but I got a massage before work which will hopefully help loosen things up.  Long ways to go, but miles ahead of where I was the same time last year.  Also need to mention that we saw what must have been a 40 lbs. racoon chasing a rabbit all around the river bottoms trying to eat it.............strange indeed.

Busy day.  Got 5 miles in at lunch on the treadmill at 7:30 pace.

Arrived at a family deal on the east side of Zion....went out for a little 10k right at dusk.  Not sure what the altitude is but temps were in the 60s.

Up early with Benjamin PDiddy.  Ran from our cabin to the top of cable mountain and back.  11.2 total.  Only fell once.....

5.2 miles before dinner to shake the legs out.

Went hiking in Zion's this morning until noon.  Got dropped off at the bottom of north fork canyon and ran up 5.4 miles to the cabin.  Passed a bunch of ultra runners of some sort headed the other way.
