AM-  Did a morning ride with Patrick and Kristi.  Tried out riding without socks this time and it was great to notice how much I normally push with my toes instead of heel.  So it helped to keep my heels down.  We rode out to Butterfield canyon to check out the course for a Dual we might do.  We got 12.5 miles out then turned around it was 1:05 into it.  And most of it was either uphill or into a strong headwind.  So debate about how long it would take it get back in.  Kristi said 45-50mins.  Patrick went 40-45 and I said 35-40.  When we left Patrick it was 35 mins and another 2 mins to get back to our place.  So took about half the time to get back.  And was a great ride.

PM- 30 min swim.  Worked on trying to relax and noticed I need to look straight down more.  Will work on that more.  And my kick is slowly getting better so I am happy with that.  Just work on getting back in and getting some good swims techniques down.

Ah what a great day for a run.  Slight wind I think but the temp was 50 degrees at 5am when I met up with the GumpChumps.  And a few extra people to run JRP.  Slick, RivertonPaul, JohnnyV,  John Dyke, Matt, Rick, Teena, Smooth and 2 others that I dont remember there names were there for this group run.  It was great to meet up with all my old friends and make a couple new ones.  Paces weren't to bad as we headed out and I just enjoyed the company.  Missed turning my watch back on so it should be almost 15 miles but will only record what I got on the watch though.

Went for a ride with Kristi and Patrick.  It was a great morning for a ride too.  Not much of a wind and temp was great.  Just rode out to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and turned around and road back.  Did it in 55 mins and some change for 15 miles.

Then went out for a run with a guy that is trying to graduate from the police academy.  Needs to do 1.5 miles in 15 mins to pass.  And he needs to shave off about 30 secs more to make it.  And has until the end of Aug to do it.  So hopefully with losing a bit more weight he will make it.  Just a nice easy jog for me with a bit of walking and alot of talking.

AM- Hit the gym early for a speedwork.  Tried to stay up late and watch all of the Tour de France.  But I was dozing off for the last bit of it.  There sure was alot of big wrecks yesterday though.  Kind of crazy to see the top athletes crash and such in the big races like that.

Well back to the workout.  Today was 10-20 min warm-up then 5 x 1k @ 3:44(10:00) then 400m RI.  Followed up with a 10 min cold down.  Was able to get 4 in struggling with the last 2 and felt I was going to run out of time.  Since I had to shower at the gym and skipped the last one.  Ended up with 6.3 miles in around 53 mins.  Did 5 strides also in the warm up.

AM- Stayed up late last night watching the tour again.  Dang they are dropping like flys still.  Alot of accidents and troubles on the road.  Lance is looking a bit beat up and dropped from 5th to like 13th all due to a flat tire on the cobblestone.  So this morning I didn't have much to complain about on the ride.  It was nice and cool with a slight breeze.  Felt pretty good on the bike today.  Kept tring to focus on some good cadence but since we cleaned up the bikes on Mon looks like my cadence sensor got bumped.  So didnt see how I did today.  Time was good though.  Going to have a busy night too.  Will ride home then go to a open water swim clinic again in Herriman.

Tempo run today.  Plan is to run 1 mile easy 4 @ 6:45 then 1 easy.  This will actually be my first real tempo run for this training cycle.  And is the fastest pace of the 4 that I run in this cycle.  So for some reason that going through my head.  And it won in the end.  Only run 3 of the 4 miles.  But I feel really good with it.  And hitting the paces was even that much better.:) :)

Well I looked at my training schedule again.  And I was all off argggghhhh...  Was thinking it was the 6:45 week and got that messed up with the 3:15 training plan of 6:45 next week which was 3 at 6:45 but I dont know what I was thinking.  The one I should be following is 4 miles today at 6:49.  And next week at 3 for 6:34.  I have got to go print me off some of my schedules and hide the 3:15s they are throwing me off.:(

And I am excited to say that I am now signed up for DesNews 10k and Park City Marathon today.  So I am excited.

What a wonderful day for run.  Met up with the chumps again.  Johnny V, John D, Rick, Teena, RivertonPaul and someone new Jodi I think met up for a run.  Hung with John D and Rick for the first few miles since they were heading out faster.  I wanted to hit my 17 miles and 8:00 pace if all possible.  But figured I would keep it nice and easy for first few and last few.  But try to push it a few miles at that pace if possible.  So hanging with Rick and John was nice till they turned around after only 2.5 miles and hooked up with JohnnyV and Paul.  And they were up to running my pace.  So we kicked it up more and turned around at 5.5.  Was alot of stops and regrouping but was still nice.  So ran with a few different people at different times.  Got back to the cars at 11 miles and wanted to hit 2 more miles at least at the 8 min pace.  And pushed to get it and then figured I would just run back at JohnnyV's pace to the end.  But we ran into Teena and Paul again.  And Teena was feeling some tightness so Paul ran with me and we left the other 2 to walk it in.  Started mile 15 at around 9:10 pace and we ended up making up for the lost time in the first .25 to bring it in.  And then we decided to really push it the last mile.  Was really awesome to run with Paul for this and have him push me the last bit.  Kind of burned out half way through it.  But held on till the end to finish under 7 mins so feel good for the effort for the run.  And having Paul there really kept me going.  Its been really nice to run with the Chumps its been alot of fun.

Well oh boy.  Here I go again.  Rode to work.  Was just about there.  And since they were doing roadwork the week before.  They didn't blow off all the gravel they had left on the road from the fixing of the cracks.  So when I took the turn going up to my building.  Down I went.  Stopped most of the fall with my right forearm and hand.  My hip has a nice rasberry again about 4 inch with and my knee took a bit but not bad really.  My forearm was tore up really good and so I went to the fire station at work and then they sent me to the clinic at work.  Oh boy.  After doing some paper work and them hopefully cleaning it up some.  I hope that there wont be any infections.  My hip is kind of feeling like it was before UVM when I crashed.  So I should be able to run tomorrow.  Will see how it goes.

As for the ride home I am just going to have a co-worker give me a ride.  Since my forearm would be right on the pads where I steer and rest my arms.  Maybe next week I will be ready to ride again.:)

Went to the gym with the wife to test out the body.  We did the elliptical for 40 mins.  Then worked out on the TM for 2 miles that took 18 mins.  Felt pretty good for the most part.  Just a little stinging on the forearm from sweating.  I will give a go tomorrow morning for a run.:)

Early morning run with Pete.  Was to be a tempo run 2 easy 3 at 6:36 and then 1 easy again.  Wasn't the best run.  I was happy to get the first one a bit faster.  But must of paid for it in the last.  Wore my racing flats to see how they felt.  Went pretty good.  My arm didn't sting to much.  Was more my hand.  Kind of lost Pete on the tempo.  Ran back to find him after the 5th mile.

Oh boy what a pain. I Thought I was signed up for PCM.  Nope still had to wait for paypal.  Tried to sign up again after waiting a few days for paypal to make the payment.  Well again more issues with paypal and 2-3 more days of waiting to get signed up.  In the mean time I got in contact with someone at the race.  Oh hurry up only 25 slots left.  BAHHH!!!!  K so finally today got paypal to work.  Well I thought I did.  After more hassle and hoops I got it to work.  And finally I think I am in for PC.  What a stinking joke.  Well the good thing in all of it is that I will have done all the 4 races to doing the slam again.  Now I just got to figure out what my game plan will be for PC.  I am thinking anything better then what I did 2 yrs ago will make me happy though.

Speed work with Pete at the CHHS track.  Met up at 4:15 to get it done.  This was Pete's first speed workout.  So went with a easier workout.  2 miles warm up then 4 x 800 @ 2:52 pace with 2 min RI then 1 mile easy.  Went pretty good.  Lost Pete on the first interval well every one but the first one he dropped off faster.  The track had water on it on each end so we had to dodge that.  First one went well.  Might of gone out to fast so paid for it later.  Not much lighting so just went by feel.  And got progressively slower per interval.

Went for a swim instead of a bike ride due to the weather.  So after work I went and for the swim.  And it wasn't to bad till it started raining so wimped out and called it good after 16 mins.  Still a good swim though.

Had a crazy night last night.  Went to bed at 7pm to be woken up at 11pm by the Bishop.  My daughter that was up at girls camp had gotten really dehydrated and was needing to go to the ER in PC.  So raced up there to the new hospital there and got her some IV and she was feeling alot better.  She was laying there with her HR going like 120 and she had be laying down for over a hr.  But she is doing better and got her back home at 3am.  So the 4am tempo run I had planned was about the time I was finally dozing off to sleep.  I think in the interest of running a good 10k this Sat.  I will just run a few easy miles tonight after dropping the girls off.  Just to get in a run since my tempo was going to be 1 mile easy 5 @ 6:49 pace.  Which is just a bit slower then what I am planning for the 10k.  It would be good to not do a 2nd workout like that in a few days I think.

PM-  Late run tonight.  Must of been in the 90s still.  So kept it nice and short.  Just enough keep the legs fresh.  So did the 4 mile loop.  2nd mile uphill and 4th down.

So here was the goals for this race.  Been wanting this to be a predictor for me of where I was right now.  So it was going to be my best effort.  Hopefully PR but wanted to see what the day would bring.  I was for sure wanting to beat last years time of 42:30 and hopefully beat my new PR at Spectrum 10k of 41:09 earlier this year.  So I was focused on doing a 41:00.  So anything below that I would be very happy with.  Was looking at the course tool that when I plugged in my goal time said run 6:30, 6:28, 6:39, 6:35, 6:37, 7:04,1:03 to hit that 41:00 pace only problem was it said it was 6.14 distance and not 6.2.  Which bit me in the butt last year.  With those goals in mind.  That is what I was planning on doing.

Met up with Slick by the finish line to drop off a car and then rode up to the start.  And then decided hey lets check for construction and check the course again.  Yep it was as I remembered it and no construction to worry about.  He did mention something that made me change my thinking there for the last 2 miles of hitting it harder.  Where last year I struggled at that part.  And didn't want to make the mistake of 2 yrs ago and do a sub 6 in the first mile.  So after talking a bit of race tactics.  We got to the start with a bit of time to go.  Did a nice warm up mile and hit the PoP.  Was feeling pretty good.  And very happy that we weren't doing the full.  It was a very clear morning.  And so no mercy for the ones doing the marathon.  For us though it was nice and if all went well might make it in before the sun.  We lined up pretty close to the front and on the left side this time.  I wasn't going to run farther this yr like last year.  So ran the tangents even closer this time would be the plan.

The race started off right on time at 6:05 and we were off.  Right out of the shoot though I think I lost Slick.  And for the first mile I kept expecting him to catch up as I tried to keep it at the set pace.  Which ended up being a bit fast.  But I was very happy when I hit the mile 1 marker and I was right on with it.  No Slick though.  I just kept trying to stay relaxed through here.  The pace wasn't killing me I just wanted to stick to the plan of going just under 6:30 and did just that.  Then here came my toughest mile.  Took a downhill and then a longer uphill.  Really had to stay focused here.  It was again my toughest mile but thought it was only the beginning.  But it turned out to only get better.  At this point I was holding my own in the crowd of people.  And no one was really passing or anything if anything I passed a few on getting up the hill.  And thought I was pushing it to hard and would pay for it later.  Got to the top and my pace was for .25-30 was 7:11 and that got me going.  But with the downhill there I was wanting to make up the time and pushed a bit harder to lower the time again.  All the time relaxing as best I could.  Really started to feel comfortable here for some reason.  Maybe a bit too relaxed.  Someone behind me said we just did the 5k in under 20.  And I had missed the split dang it.  It was 3.15 or so and just a bit into 20 and change.  Started getting my hopes up for the 2nd half since I was feeling so good.

Then I realized that the course tool I was using was .06 short and if the 5k split was right around 20.  Then I was looking good and about where I wanted to be.  Took the corner that started heading South.  And decided to hold on to the downhill speed as best as I could.  I was on pace for a 6:20 and I just held it as long as I could and it was feeling good.  Especially since I started passing people.  I was feeling a lot better then last year or the year before.  Man I love my racing flats.  My feet normally seemed to feel heavy at this part and it didn't.  So I kept pushing the pace or really maintain it since that last mile was faster and yet more flat.  Hit the mile 5 marker and oh yeah!!!  I was coming right up on 33 mins.  Quick figure was saying that I had my 41 and even some hopes of going sub 40.  If I could pick it up.  Turned the corner and was heading down to the finish.  Heard JohnnyV cheer for me.  Which gave me a boost of energy.  I picked out a guy in a orange shirt.  He was my target with 6 people between us.  I didn't look down at my watch at all till the end.  After 2 blocks I had caught him and he tried to hang with me for the next block.  It only left 100 or so meters to go.  But I was still had another gear left.  And left my target behind me.  Then I saw the clock oh man 40:38 oh man.  No sub 40 but ended up with 40:31.  OH YEAH!!!!   I am so happy with that time and effort.  I am getting closer to my sub 40 and I am sure my sub 20 at 5k will be happening for sure this year.

So with the time of 40:31 that was a 38 sec PR and 1:59 faster then last year at the same race.  I am feeling really good with it.  And its even faster then my time I need for my predictor for a 3:10 training plan.  And happy with sticking so close to my plan.

Hung out and meet up with a lot of people.  Slick and I cheered in people up to around 4 hrs on the marathon.  And I got luck to run with Allie for a short time in the last bit of the marathon before the last corner.  She did awesome.

Little over 2 mile walk with the dogs and wife.  Just to loosen up the legs some.  The 11 miles I did later for some reason really beat me up.  Which I think is a good thing.  Maybe doing it in the heat wasn't the best idea though.:(

PM-  Had a fun ride home.:)  Just as I started out it started to rain.  Good thing is it was a West wind.  So only the first mile did I have a headwind.  And it even seemed to help push me up the steepest hill.  The rain wasn't to bad besides it making it more humid.  Had to be more careful breaking and cornering.  But besides that was rather refreshing.

AM-  Speed workout with Pete at the track again.  Plan was to run 2 miles warm-up 6 x 800 @ 2:52 with 1:30 RI then 1 easy.  After the 2nd repeat though Pete was really struggling and didn't seem to be enjoying it at all.  So changed it up to a farlek.  Did 2 x 800, 2 x 400, 2 x 200 and he liked that alot more.  More of a progression.  And it was a nice workout still the same.  We had a bit of a breeze this morning that was really frustrating him on the turns.  And a bit more water on the track to avoid.  But the temps were awesome.  Bit humid though.

Got some good sleep last night.  Got up and looked outside and it was calm.  So thought I would ride to work again.  But as I was airing up the tires it started to sprinkle.  And thought it wasn't going to be that great of a day to ride to work.   It is really staying darker longer again.  So with a 6am taking off to go to work.  I think no more riding to work for me.  Also word is that I am going to be moving to my new area at work starting next week.  And with a 6am start time instead of 6:30.  Sure I will get off work earlier just means I will have to get up alot earlier if I am going to get in a good workout.  Hope the weather will cooperate for a ride or swim this evening.:)

PM-  Went for a nice swim.  Got in 26 mins this time.  And feel I am actually making head wave on this whole swimming thing.  Tried to stay nice and smooth.  First 100 were rough.  Put on some fins for the next one.  And was more relaxed.  Went back to no fins and my kick was working alot better.  And even feel like my kick is starting to get stronger.  And feeling more balanced.

4am Tempo run with my new pair of shoes.  It went pretty good for the most part.  Seems that my garmin has issues when do a hairpin turn.  Because I am close to my set paces and after turning around I am 10 secs off.  Was kind of annoying.  Goal was to run 1 mile warm up and cool down with 6 miles @ 7:04 pace.  Felt really good about the run overall.  And very happy to do 8 miles in under 1 hr though too.

Ran with the Chumps again.  Got there late and they were still there SWEET!!  So I had 2 options 13 at a fast pace or go for 20 and slower pace.  Opted for the 20 and went slower.  Since I really need to work on my endurance over speed at the moment.  So ran with the group instead of going out faster.  Only Brook was going to go 18 so hung with groups up till about 17 miles when it was just me and JohnnyV.  Did hit a few faster miles with him close to 8 but only a few.  And was going to go faster for the last ones.  But ended up just hanging in there for the last ones as it started to get hotter.  Overall a great run with friends.:)

Will probably go for a swim with the wife later.  Should help loosen up the muscles.:)

PM-  Was going to go for a bike ride.  As we were just about to head out it started raining and only got worse.  So called it good for the bike and headed to Kearns fitness to swim.  But ran into more problems there due to the swim meet.  Tons of people there and only 1 lane for swimming laps.  So packed up our gear and headed to Taylorsville to get in a swim at the gym.  Had to wait just a bit to get into a free lane there and got in a good 30 min swim.  Felt pretty good.  Was kind of cold at first but just perfect after a few.  My legs are feeling great now though.  Got to love a good swim.  Might start doing that more after a long run too.:)
