Run Till You Drop!!

I worked all of my hospitals then drove to Jackson Wyoming. When I got to Jackson I went straight to the hospital to work. We worked for a few hours got back to the hotel about 920 then I had to go run. My legs were super tired and heavy today. Still not recovered from the massage so I hope I get my legs back soon as this is scaring me. Hardest 7 miles in a really long time.

Ran 12 miles in Jackson Wyoming. I started from our hotel the Hampton inn and ran to the cache creek trailhead. When I got there I was suppose to meet my boss but he already left so I ran up the cache creek sidewalk trail , then the hagen trail to the putt putt trail and then back to the car. One of the most beautiful trails I have ever ran on in my entire life loved it. Great view of the mountains which had snow on them, perfect 70 degree weather. I finally felt normal running today. My legs have started to come back to life after my massage which was last friday.

Ran 8 miles on the Creek Trail in Jackson Hole. Sweet trail loved it, so beautiful and peaceful in the mountains. Feeling good and slowly getting ready to race in a week and a half.

Easy 8 miler on the trail by my house

The goal for today was to run 2 x 2 mile push at race pace.

I ran a 2 mile warm up. 2 mile push at race pace 5:35. 1 mile break then another 2 mile push at 5:35 race pace. 2 mile cool down. The First push was hard then the second one got a little easier.

Today I was suppose to run 13 miles or so but did not feel like going that long. I decided to bike a good distance then run after. I road biked 14 miles then I ran 8 miles. I felt pretty good towards the end as I got into a good rythem. I am getting excited for the Marathon next week I just hope my legs are ready to roll.

Easy 5 miler feeling pretty good. I love the Taper always makes the body feel good before the Beast!!

Easy 5 miles Feeling nervous about the race, my legs are still not feeling 100 percent recovered.

Easy 5 miles nice and chill

Easy 5 miles nice and slow. I hope my body is ready for all of this pain to come.

Half mile warm-up for the big race

I was excited for the race. I was a little nervous going into the race my legs have felt tired and heavy. I was wanting to go top three but we will see.

5:30, 5:27, 5:25, 5:25, 5:32, 5:34, 5:34, 5:53, 6:00, 5:40, 5:32, 5:42, 5:38

5:35, 5:32, 6:00, 6:20, 5:49, 5:34, 5:50, 5:51, 5:46, 5:53, 6:04, 5:55, 5:47

Averaged 5:50 min pace

I ran almost the whole race with Mike and Ben. I started to fade badly the last 7 miles or so. We ran into some headwind the last 10 miles or so. It was rough I felt like I was working so hard and not moving anywhere.

I was not happy with this race at all. It made me very depressed. I have lost motivation and do not want to run marathons anymore. I need to make a change or something.

Easy 2 miles, First day back running after the Marathon and I felt like I ran another one today!

Easy 4 miles but it was difficult with the legs not recovered yet. 7 min pace never felt so hard.

Easy and slow miles that felt really hard. My left quad still feels really tight after the Utah Valley Marathon last week .

Easy 6 miles up at camp Bartlett scout camp. I had to go up to help out with the kids

I ran the 5k up at scout camp. I went 17:50 I was happy that my stomach felt ok as it has been bothering me. I know I can go much faster but it was high elevation so I was breathing harder.

Easy 6 miles with my sister on the rail trail

Easy 7 on the Kaysville Bonneville trail. Stomach was killing me today, I had to stop multiple times. I must have a bug or something so painful to run.

Easy 3.5 miles

Easy 5.5 miles it was really hot today

Warm up for 3/4 of a mile. I ran 200 meter repeats up the hill by the 21st pond.

1st 33, 2nd 35, 3rd 34, 4th 33, 5th 33, 6th 33

Then I ran an easy 9.5 miles with my friend Chris on the Riverdale Parkway Trail
