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).

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.

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).

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).

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).

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).

Met Matt, Riley, Ben, Ken, and Moss at Smith's in bitter cold weather!  Matt and I ran the first two with them before they went on to do a workout.  I told Matt if tomorrow is as cold as today, then we are doing our workout inside.  Average pace: 8:24 (8:31, 8:00, 8:30, 8:32, 8:40, & 8:11).

I met Matt at the Dee Event Center to do a workout.  The plan was to do 1000 repeats with a 2:30 jog.  No average pace, but my splits were 3:35, 3:38, 3:40, 3:39, 3:37, & 3:41.  My legs were hard to get to warm up with the cold weather and just plain old tired and heavy.

Ran with Matt from his house to Rainbow Gardens and back. Average pace: 8:35 (8:25, 8:17, 8:24, 8:21, 9:33, & 8:29).

We had a fantastic run this morning out on Antelope Island!  Riley, Bret, Brett, Matt, Tyler, and I ran out there.  It was my first time meeting Matt and Tyler.  Tyler took some amazing pictures.  My watched does so I didn't get an average pace.  I'll try and post pictures later.

It was an extremely snowy morning!  I met Riley, Ben, Matt, Ken, & Jon at Mount Ogden Park.  It was a good thing I have 4x4!  Riley, Jon, & Ken ran higher trails, while Matt, Ben, & I stayed on lower trails and the roads.  I had to cut the run early in account for the snow.  It was fun, but tiring to run in fresh snow!

Matt and I met at my house at 5:15.  We jogged a mile to Weber State's gym to do a workout.  We did another mile inside and the started out workout.  The plan was 4x1.5 miles at 6:00 pace with a 2:30 rest/jog.  We did the first one in 9:02 which was pretty tough and rested 3:00.  The next one was our best at 8:58 with 3:00 rest.  The next one Matt dropped off a bit and I ended up slower then I would have liked also at 9:09 with 3:00 rest.  At this point we were both really tired.  We decided to cut the last one to a mile which we did and finished with a 6:02.  Overall it was a good workout, especially with all the black ice we hit with just our mile warm up.  

Matt and I met at the Dee and ran on some snowy roads on a cold day.  

Met Riley, Matt, & Ken at OHS and ran towards 20th down to the parkway to Washington and back.  Average: 7:43 (7:54, 7:26, 7:32, 7:41, 8:38, 8:52, & 8:29).

I met Matt in Riverdale to leave a car as we planned to met Ken up in Unitah townhall to warmup and then do a tempo as part of the sock run.  I was happy with the results, but wished I had better endurance fo longer runs.  I know that will come in time.  I saw a bunch of people I knew at the Sock run so it was a great time! Average pace 7:27 (7:55, 7:49, 7:21, 7:43, 8:19, 7:28, 6:44, 6:40, 6:41, 6:28, 6:23, 6:29, 6:28, 8:40, 7:55, 8:31, & 8:44)

That last mile we took stairs so it didn't pick up everything correct. 

I met Matt and Ken at the Dee For an easy eight miles.  There was a fresh layer of snow and cold once again, but great company.  Average pace - 8:13 (8:40, 8:20, 8:17, 7:57, 8:17, 8:06, 8:04, & 7:53).
