Running fool

AM: I met Ben, Jon, and Ken at 21st pond.  We ran The Monroe your boat run.  I was very happy with the extra hour of light this morning and with the run overall.  Average pace: 7:08 (7:54, 7:21, 7:11, 7:11, 7:16, 6:41, 6:51, 7:01, 6:47, 6:59, 7:13, & 6:58).

PM: I ran two miles with Kaitlyn from my house. Average pace: 10:38 (9:55 & 11:18).

I met Matt & Ken at the Dee Event Center.  After yesterday the legs were feel better then expected.  The first half was very windy, but the 2nd half the wind was at our back.  Average pace: 7:41 (8:17, 7:37, 7:38, 7:31, & 7:22).

I met Matt, Ben, and Jon at OHS track.  Matt and I ran the first mile with Ben and Jon and then we turned back to do 6x800 with a 2 minute jog in between.  I am not sure the overall pace, but my watch splits were 2:56, 2:46, 2:52, 2:51, 2:52, & 2:49.  My watch would hit 800 before we did on the track, so it was a second or two fast.

I met Ben, Riley, and Matt at Riverdale Parkway.  We ran towards Weber Canyon for 5 miles and then headed back.  I was actually tired so it was tough to stay up with the other guys.  Average pace: 7:37 (8:02, 7:41, 7:34, 7:43, 7:54, 7:39, 7:29, 7:24, 7:34, & 7:01).

Met Matt at the Dee Event Center for an easy 5.  My body is tired from this week and I think I need more sleep.  Average pace: 8:26 (9:08, 8:18, 8:14, 8:17, & 8:10).

Met Matt at his house and drive out to North Ogden divide to leave a car.  Then we drove to Beus trailhead and picked up Bret on the way.  We ran the Bonneville Shoreline Trail all the way out to North Ogden divide.  Average pace: 9:13 (12:05, 8:10, 7:28, 7:57, 7:23, 7:51, 7:56, 10:06, 8:50, 8:54, 8:58, 10:22, 10:00, 11:36, 10:38, 9:07, & 9:12).

Riley, Matt, Ken, Ben, & I ran from 21st pond and ran the Monday Funday route.  At the end Riley and I did hill sprints (I did two sets).  Overall it was a good run. Average pace: 7:29 (8:07, 7:26, 7:19, 7:25, 7:20, 7:05, 7:20, 7:17, 7:17, 7:41, 7:28, & 7:34).

I met Riley, Matt, Ben, Ken, & Bret at Mount Ogden Park.  Matt and I ran a total of 4 miles with everyone until we turned off to go shorter.  We ran trails which were wet and slow.  Average pace: 9:07 (8:40, 7:42, 10:15, 10:16, 9:03, & 8:38).

I met Riley, Matt, and Ben at Smiths to do a workout.  Riley gave Matt and I a schedule to follow and today we were supposed to do 2 miles at 6:18 pace, 2:30 jog, 3 miles at 6:18, 2:30 jog, and then 2 more miles at 6:18.  Matt and I warmed up with Riley and Ben for two miles and then we started.  Matt wasn't feeling good so I was alone most of the whole workout.  Not sure the overall pace, but here are my splits for the work out: 6:12, 6:21, 6:22, 6:15, 6:19, 6:20, & 6:18.  Then I did a two mile cooldown.  I was very happy with the workout especially since I was alone most of it.

Wasn't feeling well, but met Riley at Walmart in South Ogden and ran 6 miles without my watch.

So last week I found out why I was feeling so sick and weak.  My front tooth is going bad and causing an infection.  I went to the dentist and I got some antibiotics in me.  Started to feel better yesterday.  Still getting over being sick, but for the most part the run was good.  I will get the tooth removed on Monday.  I was hopping it would have been sooner.  

I met Matt the 21st pond to do a workout.  The plan was to do 5x1 mile at 6:03 pace with a 2:30 jog rest.  I still have tons of mucus with my tooth, so the first two I struggled trying to cough up the junk.  Here are the splits: 6:03, 6:03, 6:00, 6:00 & 5:57.  Other then that, it was a good workout.

I met Riley, Matt, & Ben at Smith's.  Matt and I turned around at 3 miles while Riley and Ben went longer.  Average pace: 8:17 (7:45, 7:32, 7:56, 8:22, 9:00, & 9:01).

Matt met me at my house for our long run.  We ran south on Old Post, then out towards Ogden Regional, down the tow bridge road to Uinta, took the Bonnivlle Shoreline trail up to 89 and under it, then we went up Woodland and Bonnivlle, then back down to my house.  The last three and a half were supposed to be fast.  Average pace - 7:51 (8:33, 8:05, 7:57, 7:37, 7:54, 7:44, 7:58, 10:06, 7:54, 8:56, 7:55, 6:26, 6:05, & 6:00).

Met the guys at the 21st pond.  I was feeling weak and ended up cutting the run short.  Average pace: 8:24 (7:40, 7:30, 7:20, 8:29, 8:18, 8:09, 8:15, 8:26, 8:31, & 10:24).

Woke up later then the guys I was supposed to meet.  Ran from my house out towards Old Post on slippery roads.  Average pace: 8:33 (9:09, 8:30, 8:34, 8:18, 8:15, & 8:28).

I met Matt and Ben in North Ogden at 7:00am.  It was lightly snowing, so the roads were a bit slippery.  We are 9 miles at a faster pace (6:45, 6:26, 6:40, 6:43, 6:35, 6:54, 6:53, 6:34, & 6:58).

In the evening I ran the Santa Run just for fun.  2.8 miles.
