Ran with Dan Kerns this morning from my house. Ran down into Ogden, Hopped onto the Ogden Parkway. Then headed back north into North Ogden and Pleasant View.

2 runs in a row without hamstring tightness!!! Maybe things are going to workout for St. George

Avg Pace 7:22 min/miles not bad considering that I left my watch running even during a couple bathroom stops.

After a couple repeats felt comfortable with the pace, and no hamstring pain at all!! So hopefully that is said and done with.

On the side note when I was recovering in between sets I was walking past a couple on the track. I over heard this lady wispering to her husband saying, '' That kid is weird" So apparently your not allowed to do a track workout on the track anymore. Just a heads up for everybody only for walkers only!!!

Long run Saturdays!!! Got to love them!!

Way busy day, clinicals in the morning, worked at Striders til 6:00. Then decided to run home from work to get in my long run, always hate doing them Sunday mornings, so this was the only option.

Gooooood Haaaard ruuuun!!! Lot of ups and downs, Started in Layton ran towards highway 89. Ran 89 down into South Weber, climbed out of South Weber into Uintah. Uintah eventually hooks into harrison Blvd in Ogden. Ran Harrison which eventually turns into Mountain Road in North Ogden. Ended my run at my parents house. Said and Done!!!

Best week I've had in a long time, also first 90 mile week!!! I'll take it!!

Good long run today with Logan Fielding. Did an out and back in North Ogden, around 13.00 miles did a tempo run. The goal was to hit 4-5 miles @ tempo pace which for me would've been around 5:30ish pace. Held the pace for 2 miles almost 3 and last mile was brutal!!!

I'm going to be honest, Logan pounded me in the ground today!! Seriously he is running strong and ready to knock out the St.George Marathon.

Good run today, got humbled quickly!! Logan thanks for the run.
