Running fool

I met Riley, Jon, Ben, Matt, Ken, and Manny at the 21st pond at 5:30am to go running.  We almost got sprayed by a skunk the first mile.  Average pace was 7:24 (7:56, 7:25, 7:12, 7:14, 7:11, 6:44, 6:50, 7:10, 7:16, 7:00, 8:29, & 7:53).

Ran from the Dee Event Center with Matt and met Manny on Old Post.  Average pace 8:08 (8:26, 8:08, 8:06, 8:01, & 7:54).

I met Riley, Matt, Ben, Jon, & Dave at Smith's parking lot at 5:30am.  Ran a two mile warmup and then Riley, Matt, and I did a five mile tempo/progression run.  Riley was kind enough to lead and pace us.  The best part was he broke the wind.  After that I did a three mile cool down.  I felt really good on my results.  Average pace 7:24 (8:37, 8:06, 6:39, 6:31, 6:26, 6:19, 6:15, 8:11, 7:43, 9:03).

I met Ben, Ken, Jon, & Jon at the 30th street parkway.   My legs were really tired today, but I kept up the best I could.  After going out five miles Jon and I turned around.  If he wasn't running with me I would have gone slower and who knows might have stopped to rest for a bit.  Average pace was 7:30 (7:42, 7:09, 7:15, 7:43, 8:20, 7:13, 7:21, 7:20, 7:32, & 7:21).  Tomorrow is an easy five miles and I am looking forward to it.  

Met Matt this morning at the Dee Event Center.  Ran an easy five.  I need to go to bed earlier, because I was very sleepy tired this morning.  Average pace: 8:03 (8:32, 8:00, 7:55, 7:58, & 7:51)

Met Matt at OHS. Ran ten miles out to South Ogden with a 2-mile pickup at the end. Average pace: 7:33 (8:04, 8:17, 8:07, 8:03, 8:01, 7:38, 7:23, 7:30, 6:17, and 6:06).

I met Riley, Ken, Ben, Matt, & Manny at 21st street pond.  Ran 12 miles.  Average pace: 7:14 (7:48, 7:18, 7:15, 7:09, 6:57, 6:58, 7:03, 7:08, 7:00, 7:02, 7:28, & 7:38).

Met Matt at the Dee Event a Center.  We were both a bit tired from yesterday.  Our average pace: 8:12 (8:30, 8:06, 8:06 8:05, 8:17, 8:13, & 8:05).

AM: (9 miles) - Had a great workout this morning.  I met Matt, Riley, Ken, Ben, and Dave at Smith's to do the same workout as last week around the tempo loop.  Matt and I were really lucky today, because we had Riley pacing us again along with Ben and Ken.  We did a five mile progression run.  Average pace: 7:15 (8:12, 7:52, 6:35, 6:34, 6:26, 6:20, 6:00, 8:49, & 8:23).

PM: (2.33 miles) - I met Kaitlyn in South Ogden for an easy run to shake my legs out and to help her get into shape.  Average pace: 10:23 (9:53 & 10:46).

I met Riley, Bret, & Matt at Rainbow Gardens.  Riley and Bret were all geared up to run to the top of Mount Ogden.  Matt and I climbed the trails for the first 4.5 and then turned back.  It was slow because of the up hill running on trails.  My headlamp wasn't wirking great on the way back.  Average pace: 8:53 (10:28, 9:38, 9:43, 9:30, 8:35, 7:16, 8:08, 7:56, & 8:20)

Met Matt at Ogden High.  We ran towards South Ogden.  Our average pace was slow, because we were both tired, but we still managed to do a three mile pickup at the end.  Average pace: 8:00 (8:39, 9:13, 8:18, 8:25, 8:13, 8:40, 8:27, 8:54, 7:51, 6:27, 6:22, 5:53, & 8:28).
