Personal:

Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon.  I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out.  Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe.

Ran 1.19 in 19:10(av.g 10:02 per mile) around the new neighborhood with Lacy.  She's had some leg pain so took it a little easier than normal.  I dropped heroff at River Rd. and continued up to Wasatch State Park and back to my house for another 6.98 in 51:24(avg. 7:22 per mile).  Did 40 push-ups, planks, side planks, light lower back, and light quad exercises after run.

AM  Total run time 53:13

Did a slow 1.44 to get things moving, then 2 all out sprints of about 8 seconds each.  After the second sprint I went right into the rest of my easy run of about 5.82 miles.  Did a couple big climbs and picked up the pace for roughly the last 2 miles.  Not sure of the pacing, but it felt pretty fast. Did some light coure and legs after my run.  Avg. 7:10 per mile for the 5.82 miles.

Did some sprints at the soccer fields to get my turnover movin.  After warm-up, did 2 sets of 8 x just over 100 meters.  Each sprint was at 18 to 20 seconds, so about 4:40 to 4:55 per mile pace.  I did a mile run in the middle of the 2 sets, then a cool-down back to the house.

Did a longer chill run today.  My lower back feels a little tweaked from yesterdays hard effort, so I tried to keep the pace nice and steady.  Avg.  7:22 per mile.

Gonna do a run later today.  This will be my last run before the race this weekend, and I didn't want a full 48 hours between this run and the race.  Did some core, 30 push-ups with the door gym, and 2 sets of 10 good mornings, lunges, dead lift, deep squats, and a chair pose/lateral row type thing.

PM  37:56

Did an easy run on a newly discovered dirt road by my house.  The wind was pretty rough, but nice scenery. Avg. 7:36 per mile.

Stretching and chilling today.  My inner thighs are a little worked from all the squat variations yesterday, but I should feel good for tomorrow.

AM

Ran the PCEF relay with some people from my work.  We were an open male team for Backcountry.com.  Everyone is in pretty good shape(runners, triathletes, mountain bikers) so we figured we could place in the top 5 at least....depending on who showed up of course.  Lacy was also recruited onto team "The 4th R".  I think she was the fastest on her team, but she didn't wear a watch, so not sure of her pace.  Not sure how they placed either.  This was hrist time running hard since Arpil and she looked great.  I know she's gonna be in awesome shape by the ned of the summer!

Woke up to snow and 35 degree temps along with semi sore legs from my workout on Thursday.  Good news is the weather cleared up and warmed p for most of the race, and my leg soreness didn't seem to affect me very much.  

We started out great and were pacing about 6:20 per mile in the first 6 miles, but then we started to hit the nasty climbs.  The first 1.20 miles of my run climbed about 480 feet and switch backed up out of the Utah Olympic Park.  The next 2 miles were a screaming decent of 700 feet.  I would have hit my lap button for splits, but I was delirious upon reaching the top.  The pace on my Garmin consistently read 5:20 to 5:40 on this part, which was an awesome feeling.  My shins are gonna feel it in the morning!

 Everyone was charging and looking good to my next leg.  A storm started to move in now and when i got the handoff for my last leg there were really strong headwinds.  My second leg was flat for the first mile, and I rocked a 6:00 flat time, super stoked!  After that was 1.5 miles of crazy up hill(500 foot vert) into the wind and part of the climb was on a utility road that wasn't the greatest surface for road flats.  Then was 3.5 miles of cruiser down hill on trail, with the last mile on paved trail.  This would have been great, but I got a horrible cramp towards the end of the climb, and was just trying to get it under control for the first 5 minutes of the decent.  Plus the winds were kickin and it was a head on battle till the end of the leg.  I felt super slow during this and was getting bummed, but I just kept thinking that everybody else is dealing with the same thing.

We were passed by one team around the halfway point, but they were in the mixed group, so not in our division.  They had 2 recreational runners, 2 decently fast, and 1 amazingly fast guy.  He ran 3 legs in a row totaling about 15 miles.  I got to speak with him before my second leg started and his GPS read an average 5:40 pace.  This dude was quick!  We were also being chased down by the Wasatch High School track team who started 5 minutes after us.  We were able to fend them off during the race, but their total time was 3 minutes faster than us, so they took first in our division.  

Overall it was a fun day and felt great to race!
