Wife and kids were gone........so went for 10 miles up City creek out of boredom.  Hot and hard and slow.

7 miles in 58 minutes before heading home from work

9 in 80 minutes at lunch.

No run......the day got away from me.

8 in 70 minutes on the treadmill.........6.8 mph easy run pace this week.

8 miles in 68 minutes at the gym after lunch

10 miles from the house......up to the hills and then to North Canyon Park and back.

4 miles up and 4 miles down City Creek from the gym before work.  Groin was bugging just a bit on the way down.  Back blogging after a 4 year hiatus.

5 at the gym......shut it done early cause the quad/knee started getting tight.

One of those days.........got caught at work in the morning and came down with a stomach bug by the afternoon.  Just went home and slept.

Still didn't feel great, but I went to work anyway.  By the end of the day felt good enough to go to the gym and do 8 on the treadmill......69 minutes.  Left knee was bugging me afterwards.

Need to get serious about tracking my running.  Want to ramp up the mileage, stay injury free, and find a spring marathon to do.

8 miles on the treadmill at lunch @ 6.8 mph.  Easy run pace for me right now.

8 @ 6.8 at lunch....

8 @ 6.8 ....

7 after work and before meeting up with the family for the festivities.  Cut it short cause my stomach just felt blah.  Met up with my dad for lunch at Little America and the ribeye steak sandwich caused me some issues....but was well worth it.

9 in 68 minutes mid afternoon.  Watched a movie about Australians in Gallipoli.

10.5 on Bountiful Blvd in the afternoon.  Great day...50 degrees and sunny.  Good end to the week.  50 miles this week and no complaints.  Groin seems to be doing better.  Happy to just build a bit of mileage and lose some weight for a few weeks--then I'll work in more quality stuff.

8 up and down City Creek canyon with Tyler and Dane.  It's a bit of a grinder on the way up....but the weather is just about perfect this week.  Legs were a bit heavy.....but I can feel myself improving a bit on the cardio side.

9 this afternoon from my house up past tunnel springs.  Came home for lunch and just didn't end up going back to work.  Great temps.

Up and down city creek canyon at lunch with Tyler.  We gradually picked it up down the canyon and the last couple miles were sub 7.  Headed to the frozen tundra tomorrow for work.

8 easy from my house this morning before heading to the airport.  Weighed 175, down from 184.  Progress.

9 miles this morning on the treadmill before meetings.  It's cold in Calgary.

Minor surgery....no run.  Hurting more than I thought I would.

45 minutes on the stair climber to try and get a cardio workout in without too much pounding.....felt OK.

Another 45 minutes on the stair climber at the gym.  Groin hurt a bit by the end.

12 miles on Bountiful Blvd before running to the airport to catch a flight to Houston.

Early morning for work meetings and then ended up having a big steak for dinner before heading back to the hotel at 8....just knew trying to run wouldn't end well so I went to bed early instead.

10 on the treadmill at the hotel at 5:30 AM.  Felt fine....but now flying home in the evening the groin is hurting me.

8 miles on the treadmill in the afternoon.  7 mph.  Stomach had issues.  Minor growing pain.

11 miles at the gym.  7 mph.  No groin pain.

8 miles at 7.0 mph.  Legs tired but no groin pain.  Crappy weather and my office buddies are in Central America this week....so I may just keep grinding on the treadmill.  It's the only time I ever watch a show, so I really don't mind it that much.

9 before lunch @ 7.0 mph.  No groin pain.........heart rate was 144 or so for most of the run.

8 miles at 7.1 mph.

Ran 1.5 then turned around and ran home cause I had overdressed.  35 degrees but sunny--so pared back to a long sleeve shirt, shorts, and compression socks.  Then headed back up to Bountiful Blvd.  ran into a guy named Glen, who I guess owns some running stores--we ended up running 6 together.  Was nice to have someone to run with.  Came home to find out BYU had won NCAAs.....congrats Conner and friends.
