2009 First Dam Run - 41:37 Long-Term Running Goals: 1. Enjoy running 'til I drop dead - and put that off as long as possible.
2. Don't get burn out :-) Personal:
I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005. I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running. He said "You'll never run again.". What a challenge! So...I started running.
Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races.
I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all. I'm not fast. I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

| Noon: 6 miles in North Logan at noon with Blake C. at a 7:04 pace. We were originally going to do a 7:30ish pace, but it was such nice weather we were running a bit faster. Afterewards we did another mile at a 7:40 as a faster cool-down pace. Nice jog.

| 20 miles in the afternoon. 10 miles at tempo pace up and down Smithfield Canyon at 7:28/mile AP. Then did a slow 10 miles with Claire. We did the first 4 at a pretty at an ok pace--around a 7:40 AP. Then we turned North, the wind kicked up and we battled a 35 MPH headwind. I think it was probably good to go 10 miles slower--more time on my feet. It seems that slow long miles are harder than faster long runs. I was more tired afterwards than if I'd ran the last 10 faster...

Noon: 10 miles out and back in North Logan at 7:07/mile AP. Got back and heard the news about Boston--what a tragedy. I watched the finish of the winners this morning. Heard of some friends finishing. With the cool weather I was wishing I was there. Hope the authorities find who is responsible fast.

Woke up not to long after midnight with stomach issues. Either stomach flu or food poisoning. A group had lunch catered Monday, and 5-6 people who ate the catered became sick either Tuesday night or early today. Needless to say, I spent the whole day in bed and between the bathroom. Most of it was sleeping. Was supposed to do at least 10 miles today...not going to happen.

10 - North Logan at lunch. Was feeling a lot better than yesterday... First mile felt good at normal pace, second was a bit slower, then on the third I could feel the effects of being sick yesterday, and not eating anything. By mile 5 I was thinking about walking back and just going straight back to work... kept jogging slower and slower. My legs actually felt ok., but my stomach was doing flip-flops. Pretty miserable, but hey, I finished the run. 8:03/mile AP. Still feel a little out-of-it.

| 10 miles in Smithfield. Out and back from home, down past the dairy (dairy loop), up past Sky View and Back. Good 1st half - 7:18/mile AP. Then did another 10 up and down Smithfield Canyon with Claire, helping her get ready for a half-marathon. Her feet weren't feeling that good, so we took it nice and easy. 8:28/mile AP. Overall for the 20 miles was around a 7:50 /mile AP.

10 mile out and back in North Logan. First 5 was with Blake C. (co-worker). Went out at a good pace 7:13/mile for the first 5 miles. He had to cut it short, so I went (back the way we came) and finished up the 10.1 miles with a 7:12/mile AP. Good jog. A little windy from the West, but overall felt good.
