Ran my regular route without the Snow canyon mile. It was late and dark. I ran carefully. I felt pretty good, but hungry.

I ran my usual counter clock wise. I felt very sluggish and weak for the first few miles. (that may have had something to do with the fact that I was running up hill against the wind, I don't know) Anyway at about mile 7 I picked it up and put in a coupld of sub 6 miles. Then I coasted in with some 6:30's. Total ave. 6:24

Morning run was 6 mi at 6:46 pace. Afternoon run was 7 mi. at 6:33. I felt pretty sluggish on both runs. I don't know what the deal is with my energy level. I think that more sleep would help. I'm going to try this 6 mi. 7 mi. schedule for awhile and see if my body will adjust to those demands. I am timing so many races during the next two months that it is going to be tough getting in a 17-18 miler.

Nice and easy 6 miles this morning 6:57 pace. So much easier on the body than 6:30's.

This evening I ran easy but ended up running faster than this morning. Oh well, I just ran comfortably. 7 mi. at 6:43.

Nice easy morning run. It was windy out of the west. Dave I actually approched slowing down to 7:00 miles. I ended up with 6 mi. at 6:57 ave. I feel ok, just need to push through some stiffness.

This afternoon was the windiest run ever. I had my new Ipod on and that made the run more relaxed. I ran 7 mi. at 6:38 ave. I felt pretty strong this afternoon.

I had a really good run this morning. 6 mi. at 6:22 ave. I threw in a faster 5:52 on the flat and slightly uphill section. Usually on Mondays I feel sluggish, but my legs feel fresh.

This afternoon I ran in the wind of course, out to Snow Canyon and back. 9 mi. at 6:35 pace. It was a pretty warm day for an afternoon run.

Really nice morning run. Beautiful day. 7 mi. at 7:03 pace.

Another windy run this afternoon, but it was still a good run. I even stuck in a 5:38 on the 5th mile just for good measure. My total was 6 mi. at 6:31 pace.

I ran on a treadmill today. It was an interesting adventure in boredom. But I had a really good week of running. Thanks again Steve for the great run Thursday. It really made me feel like I'm doing something right.

This morning I ran, therefore I am. That's about it. 6.3 mi. @ 6:45 ave.

Nice afternoon run. I did some exploring of a new road in Santa Clara. I sure enjoyed the lack of wind. 7.5 mi. at 6:41 pace. I felt better this evening. I think my body is getting used to the routine of 2 a days at these distances.

Really nice long 20 mile run this morning. Thanks Sasha for your input on my training. Thanks Steve for always making me work. I am psyched for this summers training. I have some good motivation for my St. George Marathon training this year.

I got home and went for a 4 mile walk with Kathy. I probably drive her crazy when I come home from a great run and am all pumped up about what I will do next. She is such a great support to me.

Nice and easy run. 7.1 mi. at 6:51 ave. Still probably a little fast, but it felt really easy and never put me into stress. Considering the 20 mi. on Sat. I feel really good.

This evening I ran 7.9 mi. but a little too fast. I have got to slow it down so I can get the miles in that I want to. 6:39 ave.

A little tired this morning, but ran easy and had a good run. I think I am getting smoother with my stride and foot strike. I guess I have had to in order to raise my miles. 6.3 mi. at 6:44 ave.

Windy afternoon run. Tried to take it easy, but had to work to get through the gale force. 6.3 mi. at 6:48
