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.

Had fun today watching Garrett compete in the rail jam at Beaver Mountain. Between the competition I got about 8 easy ski runs in. Saw Steve there, who mentined he was going to go do a treadmill run at the Sports Academy.
When we got home, after eating, running errands, etc., didn't feel like running outside in the dark so I went to the Sports Academy. Ran next to Steve, who kept me going... Nice slow long run--longest I've ever ran on a treadmill. |

After flying to Orlando yesterday with the family, Conner and I woke up and ran a little over 5 miles around the hotel. It was fun running--warm and nice.
Then we took a shuttle to the port and boarded the Disney Dream cruise ship. 5 nights cruising in the Bahamas.

Woke up on the cruise ship, got Conner up, and we ran on the running track on the Disney Dream. Big ship--2.5 laps equaled 1 Mile. The boat rocking a little made it a little slower run for me. Conner wasn't really affected.
For fun I used my GPS. It logged somewhere around 15 miles (The ship was moving). Actual laps we only did 5.25.

Went to Castaway Key (Disney's Private Island). They had a 5K fun run. It was nice.
Conner easily one the race. I was right behind another runner. They gave us Disney water bottles for competing. Later they left certificates of completion in our cabins. Nice fun run--water stations were great.
Afterwards, we enjoyed the beach with the family.

Last day of the Disney cruise. We stopped again at Castaway Key. They had another 5K race in the morning. I didn't really push it that hard at all, but took 2nd place (after Conner of course). About 50 people from the ship ran it this time. I ran it a little faster than on Saturday. There were certificates in our cabins at the end of the day. Afterwards, we went snorkeling and enjoyed the beach with the family.
In the late afternoon I did another 8 miles on the ship. Nice and slow.

| 17 miles in Smithfield/Smithfield Canyon. Felt good until mile 15 and then really died. I drank a 16 oz. Bottle of water and mile 5.5, then ran to mile 15 and drank another...chugged it down too fast. Afterward felt sick...ran a few more miles and walked home. I'll do a 20 next Saturday... :-). |

Woke up and rolled Conner's newspapers for him since he had a track meet and was tired. Afterwards, drove up Smithfield Canyon to place some water bottles. Ran from Smithfield, down to Hyde Park, up past Sky View High School, up Smithfield Canyon to the campgrounds and back down. Then ran on the road between Smithfield and Hyde Park and back to Sky View. Good run. Didn't really push it and felt good afterwards. 7:44/mile AP. Made to Sky View in time to see Conner run the 3200 and break the Sky View record (held for 29 years).

12 miles in the evening up and down Smithfield Canyon. Stomach was feeling quite a bit better. 7:30/mile AP. I enjoy Smithfield Canyon. This 12 mile run has me doing about 1000 ft. uphill (including the golf course hill). When your up to the top at the half way point, it feels like the workout is pretty much over--it is pretty much downhill from there.

6 miles in North Logan during lunch. When I started, the front was moving in--windy for the first two miles. Then it rained for the next two miles, and stopped for the final 2. 7:40/mile AP.
Went to my daugher's piano concert in the evening. Was going to run 6 afterward, but it became very stormy--more wind and rain. Decided to postpone it until tomorrow morning. |

Woke up early, helped the kids with their newspaper route, and then went and ran 6 before work. Nice slower run.
After work I was working on my truck, replacing the ignition cylinder. I was under the stearing wheel, twisted, and somehow threw my back out--painfully walking like a question mark. We'll see how it affects the 20 mile run I'm supposed to do tomorrow. |

Tried to get up in the morning, but my back was very sore so I slept in until 9:00 and loaded up on IBUProfen. Got up, did some chores to try to loosen my back up, which included pushing a lawn mower around for a while--big mistake. I had the kids finish mowing. My back was and is sore.
In the afternoon, I got ready for the run. When I started it really hurt. I thought I may only make it about a half mile, and then walk home. I started out slow, about 8:45 pace. At about a half mile, my back started loosening up, but still was sore and hurt, but felt ok to run. I slowly sped up my pace to 7:45 / mile, but didn't dare go any faster. I ran from Smithfield down to the road in-between Smithfield and Hyde Park, then turned and went up Smithfield Canyon. I got to the campground at mile 10, stopped and drank a water bottle I placed, and ran back on the same route. I drank three water bottles I had placed.
While coming back, I passed a few hundred runners starting up Smithfield Canyon from MAC Park doing a 5K. Surprized me--I didn't know they were having one.
I completed the 20, but this was the most painful run I've done. I averaged about 7:55 / mile, and was happy about it because I don't think I did any more damage to the back.
Three weeks until a marathon. I don't think I will do a full three week taper. I will probably try a two week taper and see how it goes. I'll take the next few days really easy and see how it goes.
Was glad to hear Conner had a great 1600 and 3200 today at the Davis Invitational. |

8 miles in Smithfield Canyon. Felt good. 7:20/mile AP.
The great thing about about this run is the hills. The first mile you loose about 200 feet. Then climb about 400 feet over the next three miles (partially up Smithfield Canyon) to mile four, then run back the same way (down 400 feet, then finish off with the 200 feet climb). |

This was the 2nd annual Huff to Bluff Marathon, from Blanding to Bluff,
Utah. Great marathon. It was good to be back in my hometown where I grew
up.
Everyone from the race director (Ryan Heck) to the volunteers did an
outstanding job. The marathon is a small one, (only 105 registered
runners), but a huge amount of effort has been put into it. It is a USATF
certified course and a Boston qualifier, had great aid stations, etc.
I picked up my packet the night before. All runners (not just elites)
could submit their own fluids/Gu, etc., to be given them at the aid stations at
mile 9 and 17. I put in a Gatorade and a water bottle.
Saturday morning my Dad drove me down to the start, and we visited with a
few folks before the run.
The first half is a gentle downhill course, dropping around 800 feet.
There are a few rollers, but nothing really big. I didn’t really push it
too hard, mostly ran alone, and reached the first half right around 1:30.
The second half also has a net loss of about 800 feet, but is a little
interesting, Just after mile 14, you drop off of White Mesa, and run
downhill for about a mile, loosing around 300 feet. This was a fun relaxing,
faster mile. Then after mile 15, there are a series of 4 rollers,
climbing about 200 feet until mile 18.25. I slowed down a bit up
the hills. At mile 19.25 another series of rollers start, and you gain
around 80 feet until mile 22, and then you drop down into Bluff.
About mile 22 I looked around and couldn't see anyone behind me.
Usually about this time I key off of people to pace with so I can push it a
little. No one was around so I decided to just run in at an easy pace,
have fun, and enjoy the sights dropping into the canyon, the sandstone,
including the "twins" rock formation, etc.
To me, overall the course felt similar to the Top of Utah or Ogden
marathons in elevation drop and difficulty. It was as well organized as
any marathon I've run. I didn't push it as hard as I could have, but it
was nice afterwards to be able to get out and enjoy the country...

I threw my back out again yesterday, so I decided I'd better not run today and take it easy until the Ragnar next week.
Still had a great day hobbling around at the Utah Valley Marathon finish line. It was fun to see Conner come in at 1:11:24 in the half marathon, taking fifth overall, breaking the record for his age group. Claire also did great, breaking the record for her age group. They both did well despite the nasty dirty headwind blowing in their faces...that would have totally de-motivated me.

| 2 Miles of the first leg of the Ragnar Wasatch Back. I was runner number 12. Nice trail run. Wasn't quite ready when Trevor came in way earlier than expected so I didn't warm up, have my headlamp/tail lamp on, etc. Burned my lungs a little, but had a lot of fun. |

20 slow easy miles around Smithfield and up and down Smithfield Canyon.
Got up this morning a little before 5:00, woke Conner and Claire up to take them to the Smithfield Not Yo' Mama's Half Marathon. They picked up their packets and I had to get home, do Conner's paper route and return before they finished. Fun seeing Conner and Claire come in. Conner placed second overall and Claire got first in her age group.
Was going to run earlier (just after the race) but waited around for the awards. Then went home and a few pressing things came up. Then I went out and placed 3 16 oz water bottles at mile 6, 10.5, and 16. I finally made it out around noon. It wasn't really too hot, but it was very humid.
The interesting part is how much weight I lost in sweat. I was 201.1 when I left. I drank all three 16 oz water bottles. Mile 16 was right next to Sky View High School, so after drinking the third water bottle I quickly went into the Recreation Center, filled the water bottle up again, drank it, and filled it up again. I drank that one though the last 4 miles. So in total I drank 5 watter bottles (5 pounds of water).
When I got home I was still thirsty, but quickly went in to shower and weighed in at 194.6. So this means I lost 11.5 pounds, drank 5 pounds, and still ended up 6.5 pounds less than when I started.
Total elevation gain was 1550 feet, loss of 1276 feet. The lowest elevation was at mile 3, with a steady gain of 1027 feet at my turn around at the Smithfield Canyon campground (mile 10.4). With the dairy loop and hill by Sky View, gained another 500+ feet.
Anyway it was a good slow run in the heat and humidity. Haven't done a long run in a while, so I didn't push it and felt good. |

AM - 10 nice easy miles up and down Smithfield Canyon. I've been running in the heat lately, and I think it is taking a toll...getting a little too dehydrated on my runs, even with drinking, and getting a little burned out...or burn't up :-). Starting to run in the morning this week. Left about 5:45 AM. It was nice and cool, but warm enough to work up a good sweat. I haven't ran this early in the up Smithfield Canyon in a while. Saw several "new" faces and others I knew. Good easy run. 7:55/mile AP.
PM - 2 miles in North Logan. Did some cross training, planks, etc., and then went out and did a nice easy 2 mile run to streatch my legs out a little more. |

10 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon. Pushed it really hard on the way up. About at mile 4.5 my right forefoot started getting pretty sore, so I slowed down a little bit for the rest of the run. 7:32/mile AP.

18.2 miles. Went up and down Smithfield Canyon with Joanna. She was on her bike. 9.1 Miles with a 7:24/mile AP. Afterwards, went up and down Smithfield Canyon again with Claire. Went a bit slower as her legs weren't feeling that great. Good morning of running.

| 11 miles up and down Smithfield Canyon. Interesting day as there is usually more runners jogging the canyon than bikers. I only saw about 4 joggers running it, but there were from 15-20 bikers biking it. I have a knot in my calf I've been trying to work out so I took some parts a little slower, didn't really feel like pushing it, but still ran a 7:39/mile AP.

Went camping with the family to the City of Rocks in Idaho. Saturday morning got up and did 10.6 miles with Conner. From where we were camping we ran down and lost about 1300 feet. Then back up again. At our turn around, Conner went a little farther and later caught up to me. At mile 9 my Garmin's battery gave out. When we got back to our camp, Claire and I did 10 slower miles. Overall felt good...lots of hills.

| Today I felt pretty good. It was a fun TOU half marathon. Got up at 4:45 am, dressed, and got Claire up. After a quick bite, left the house about 5:10. Got to the start and visited with a few folks--Daryl, Steve, Scott and a few others. I have taken it pretty easy for the last 2 days, and was pretty apprehensive
at the start. My garmin always reads a little long for this race - 13.2 --probably due to the reflection/refraction of the satellite signal off the walls in Hyrum canyon.
Started out well, maybe a little too fast at the start: 1 - 6:18
2 - 6:28
3 - 6:36
4 - 6:27
5 - 6:19
6 - 6:22
7 - 6:23
8 - 6:24
9 - 6:31
10 - 6:27
11 - 6:37 - Paced with another runner to this point.
12 - 7:08 - the only real uphill part. Slowed down quite a bit.
13 - 6:40
.2 - 1.07 Overall I think I could have pushed it a little more, but it was great getting a PR. I beat my previous PR by 3 minutes 4 seconds. (I don't do many half's).
Afterwards, I got some drinks, rested for a little bit, talking with Steve and a few others from the blog. Then jogged up to meet Claire and ran in with her. She got a PR and won her age division. I only made it up about a half mile and ran with her to the finish. Afterwards went on another 3.3 miles and got back before the awards were given out. When I got home, I decided to do a few more miles before showering, and ended running about 4. Overall got in 21.4 miles.

| 10 Miles in North Logan at 1:00. 85 degrees (hot for me). Today was one of those infamous days where you feel like you are really pushing it, your legs even feel like they are moving fast, but you are going a lot slower than you feel. Still it was a good jog. 7:39/mile AP. |

| 15 miles in Smithfield, partially up Smithfield Canyon and back. Got up about 5:30, helped the kids with the paper route, and then went out for my run. Right after I left it started pouring. I was totally soaked by the time I hit mile 2--shoes were sloshing. The rain and everything slowed me down a bit, so I had a nice easy run. Probably a really good thing since I am starting to taper a little for the Top of Utah in two weeks. Averaged Somewhere around an 8 min. mile. My legs feeling a bit beat up...nice to start the tapering... :-). After the run, I went to the Utah State Cross Country invitational with Conner. Never seen a college XC race before...fun to watch it. |

| 5 in North Logan during lunch. Started out a little slow because of the sore back. Things loosened up a bit after about a half mile and I gradually sped up a little. Pretty flat run. 7:24/mile AP. Later in the afternoon my lower back got pretty sore. I'll take the rest of the week off to let it heal and hopefully it will feel better by the marathon.

Two easy miles to loosen up the legs. Wednesday I caught a bug, and Thursday I didn't even go into work. Either a brief bit of something I ate or a couple days of stomach flu. Today I am feeling a little better--still had to sprint back on my two mile run to get to the bathroom. On the website for the TOU Marathon, they said there would be porta-potties every mile. Maybe I'll get a PR tomorrow doing 26 sprints to each honeypot. :-)

Pre-race: Had a great time talking to people at the expo during packet pick-up. Got up early, had a small breakfast, and then drove to Merlin Olsen Park to load the bus. I rode the bus up with my niece, and had the usual good brief visits with some people on the blog and others I like to chat with before a race... I was a little worried about my stomach, being sick on Wednesday, Thursday, and a little bit yesterday, but overall I felt pretty good. Race: After the gun went off, I actually felt pretty good. I started out a little fast, and looked down at my Garmin and forced myself to slow down a little. Miles 1-7 went really well. A little before mile 8 (which is about the start of the TOU Half Marathon), my stomach started rumbling. It got me a little worried, so I slowed down a little. It went away after about a half mile so I went back up to the pace I was running previously and felt pretty great. I hit the half-way point right around 1:29. I thought "Great, I may be able to PR". Nice tail wind at the mouth of the canyon, and continued to go well.
Then about mile 15 or my stomach started acting up a little and I started feeling out of energy. This forced me to slow down. I thought I'll run a slower pace, let my stomach recover, and when the 3:05 pacer catches me I'll run with them. The pacer caught me right before mile18. I ran with them until we turned off the highway and partially up the first set of hills. I dropped back a little about mile 19 not feeling too well. By this time I let the stomach issues, lack of energy, and not hanging with the 3:05 pacer kill me mentally. Usually on a marathon I can run through the wall pretty well, but the wall was amplified more than ever. In the past 11 marathons I've never felt as trashed or in as much pain as I did about mile 25. The 3:15 pacer passed me, and I continued chugging along slowly. I came in at 3:16:37. I've done 6 marathons faster than this so I was a bit disappointed with my time. However, I can't complain--I never stopped running and still took 1st in the Clydesdale (over 200 pounds). Post Race: It took about an hour and a half for my stomach to settle down--I didn't feel good at all, but tried to take in as much fluids as I could. Eating made it worse. Later, after things settled down, I had some good visits with my niece, friends, and some co-workers that ran it. Also, had a good visit with Jake at the awards presentation. This will be my last race as a clydesdale. In order to improve my time, be less prone to injury, and feel better while running I need to lose at least 25 more pounds. 26 years ago I wrestled in college at 177 lbs . That is now my target weight. So the experiment now begins to see how losing weight will affect my running. We'll see how it goes :-).

Went to Sport Academy and did a little cross training, then jumped on a treadmill. At first I was a bit sore. After warming up, I was surprised that the soreness went away. Did a mile in 7:30, then another one in 6:30, and then a cool down for .25. Legs felt ok, but decided not to push anything. Cooled down and went outside and sat in the Hot tub outside. Felt good. Time to start working on the weight loss thing. Tomorrow I am going to start using Lance Armstrong's site www.livestong.com to track weight loss, calorie intake, calorie burning, etc. The site has a pretty good calorie counter site--used to be myplate. We'll see how it goes...25 lbs to go!

8 miles in North Logan at noon. Nice and cool. First five miles had an average of 7:30/mile. Sped up for the last three. 7:13/mile overall average pace.
The last three days have been way too busy at work and at home to get much done--let alone running. Nice to finally get out.

6 mile out and back in North Logan at noon. Great lunch break. Awesome weather for this time of year, about 45 degrees.
I'm also starting a new training routine, which entails running 6 days a week and taking Sunday off. I don't know if I've ever run 6 days a week in my training (maybe once or twice). In the past I felt I've always needed one or two days off/cross training to let my legs recover and avoid injury.
On Sasha's site http://www.asksasha.com/Running/Top-10-Training-Mistakes.html, he mentions the following:
"Doing anaerobic speed work without proper aerobic base conditioning. If you are running less than 8 miles a day and/or less than 6 days a week, your extra energy should go into increasing the daily mileage and the number of training days per week rather than speed work. If you feel you have to reduce your aerobic mileage on the speed day or the day after, this also shows that anaerobic speed work is not something you need at the time."
So here goes another experiment: The next two weeks I'll run ~6 miles each day of the week, and take Sunday off. I may bump Saturday's run up a little, depending how I feel. I'll slowly build up from there... One thing I'll need to do is make sure I alternate speeds a little, and run slower at least two days of the week--hopefully to avoid shin splints, etc. Most of the time if I don't feel I ran around a 7:30 pace or faster, I have felt I haven't really had a good work-out. We will see how it goes...
I ran with my Garmin and my iPhone using Endomondo. Interesting comparisons. Garmin said 7:19/mile AP. Endomondo was 7:15/mile AP. I hit stop on my garmin 4 seconds before hitting stop on Endomondo:

| My old favorite 6 mile out and back at lunch. Nice jog. 7:30/mile AP. Picked up Conner last night at around midnight coming home from Footlocker in California. Finally got to sleep about 2:00, and woke up at 5:30ish. I've not been getting that much sleep lately. Reminds me of the good ol' Army basic training days back in 1986. Time to work on getting more sleep :-).

8 mile out and back in North Logan at noon. Lot of snow, slush, and it was wet. Starting to get slippery.
Had a great jog...somewhere about 7:35/min average pace. During the run I was finally able to think about my quick trip to San Diego to watch Conner and let everything sink in.
Had an awesome weekend - Flew down later on Friday and went to the Footlocker Nationals on Saturday morning to watch Conner. I was able to find Rob Murphy and had fun visiting with him and getting a lot of pointers. After the race I stuck around a bit, then went over to Coronado, met Conner, walked around on the beach, took pictures, etc. Also great to talk with Kramer and Ben, take a few pics of them, and had a great walk/jog on the beach. I was also able to visit with some relatives for a little while that I hadn't seen in around six years or so.
Later we went to the Awards Banquet at the Hotel Del. Glad Conner was able to get an extra ticket as the food was ok, but not quite worth how much they were asking if you had to pay for it. It was awseome to see Meb give them their All-American medals.
Then flew back on Sunday.
It has been fun to see Conner make goals, work towards them, and then reach them.
Plenty of time to reflect and make some new goals for myself, both in running and not running--funny how this sport seems to help improve your life in areas other than running.

| 8 mile out and back at noon. Forgot my garmin, so I ran with my iPhone using endomondo. Thought I had more battery, but the battery died just before mile 2. Based upon my start and end times, ran the 8 mile in about 59 minutes, which is a 7:23/mile pace. |
