| I ran this run backwards. That is to say I started fast and ended slow because I did the first 5 with the fast guy at work. | | Add Comment |

7.25 road miles. Downtown, up City Creek, and home in the snow.
About 3/4 mile in stores while trying on new running shoes. I bought the Nike Lunarglide+. Nike seems to be the shoe everyone loves to hate but I've loved my last dozen(?) pairs of Nike Cesiums. If these work nearly as well I'll be happy. My wierd feet generally dislike running shoes (and most other shoes) but these felt good.... Time and miles will tell. I also tried on a pair of Vibram 5 Fingers. I'm not sure about them and didn't want to spend $80 to find out if I like them enoght to wear them for running or otherwise. | | Add Comment |

21+ miles, City Creek, BST out past Red Butte, and back. Trail conditions ranged from ankle and foot "strengthening" frozen chunky rock-like snow, to wet muck, to ice, to corn... some hard miles. Total time about 4.5 hours. I'm tired but happy to have some miles in after vacation.
Ran into Jun and Twinkie on the trial :) | | Comments(10) |

| 23ish miles an a muddy and sloppy BST. About 4.5 hours/ ~12:00 pace. Mile 22 was back on pavement at a 6:58 pace, which was nice considering how slow I was on the trail. | | Comments(9) |

| 5 @ a quicker pace. ave = 7:23. fastest mile @ 6:41 This was a fun group run. We ran out as a group of 3, then we each picked it up to our own pace. The slowest runner turned back first. Then a bit further down the trail I turned back to try and catch the slower runner... and not be caught by the faster runner (who ran further). We were back as a pack about a 1/2 mile from work. Chasing and being chased was good motivation.

| The weather was ideal. Today was one of those runs where you just feel great, as if you could just keep going and going. I'll try to remember today on my next bummer run. | | Comments(3) |

Today I ran my first ultra.
The Buffalo Run was out on Antelope Island and the course was GORGEOUS! The course consisted of two loops, which were dumb-bell shaped. You hit an aid station about every 5 miles. The course went up, then down, then up, then down, and so on. The climbs and descents were limited to about 700' of elevation gain or loss. No sense posting splits as my pace was largely governed by the terrain. My first loop took me about 2:23 and the second about 2:36. I was dragging on the second loop but I also had to pass ton of 25k runners on single track. My fastest and slowest miles were on the second loop, 6:39 for mile 23 and 11:46 for mile 25. I was really, really ready to be done those last few miles but I wasn't nearly so wiped out after crossing the line as I was at St. George last fall.
Looking at my race times from last year I thought I might be around 5 hours, but my only goal was to finish upright, which would be a PR since I've never run this far! My training was not great, but I wasn't trying to run fast. I kept a good base (40-50ish miles/week) til February, then went on vacation for 2.5 weeks, running very little. After vacation I ramped up to 50 some miles then did a 2 week taper. I've done almost no speed work this year. So, I'm thrilled to have eked in under 5 hours, but I'd have been happy no matter my time.
There were some amazing runners out on the course today. The winner of the 50k finished in 3:48! I think. I got to see Maynard/Brad cross the line (he did the 50k as well). I also got to see some crazy 50 mile runner in a Twinkie shirt sprint like a madman across the finish!
Thanks Dale for coming out and cheering. It was great to meet you and your son.

| Not really sore but still not recovered... 4.5 miles in a snow storm. It was wasn't too bad, but I forgot my tights and had to run in shorts. My wind briefs saved me. | | Comments(4) |
