| 10 miles went out with the dog and ran for 92:00minutes total. mostly on paved trails. i was a little surprised that they have been clearing them of snow. this is good to know. picked up the pace a few time for a few hundred yards. i am just guessing but i think we covered about 10 miles.

| my watch died at 11miles, here are my splits: took a half of GU at about 5-6 miles, one before race.
mile 1 6:22 mile 2 6:23 mile 3 6:12 mile 4 6:12 mile 5 6:11 mile 6 6:21 mile 7 6:22 mile 8 6:27 mile 9 6:24 mile 10 6:21 mile 11 6:30 watch died at 11.07miles and 1:10:16
last 2+ miles at 13:00 minutes. many seemed to think that the course was long but my watch let me down. This was a good race for me. I had 4 goals in mind heading into the race. goal 1 match or better last years time of 1:22:42 goal 2 run my splits at the same pace goal 3 focus on breathing to avoid side aches which seem to plague me in longer races goal 4 good leg turnover esp. on the up hill sections considering that last years course was short, my time this year is probably at least equal and i feel good about the race. i have to admit that i surprised myself a little bit. my training in oct,nov,dec was very low key(so few miles that i didn't even keep track). 3 weeks ago i ramped up the running to hit the mid 30's to prep for the race. sometimes less is more because i ran alot more miles leading up to the same race last year. it was a fun race and i don't mind an honest course as apposed to the downhill races that we usually find in southern utah.

| 11 very easy miles after playing a church basketball game earlier in the morning. took the dog out for the first 5.5 on a route i have ran only once before. It has a really good hill on it that i would like to use for some hill workouts down the road. after dropping the dog off at home i went out for another 5.5 on my usual route minus the extension up the canyon trail. considering the basketball i have played this week and not running monday or tuesday, i feel pretty good about this week. body seems to be holding up well enough.

11.5 easy miles after breakfast. woke up thinking this would be a really nice day, then i heard the news say it would be really windy. Sure enough the wind picked up. pace was pretty slow fighting the wind but miles and time on the feet are main focus right now so i accomplished that. It is supposed to snow tonight so i may try to go out again and get another run in before the storm hits. 6.0 more miles in the late afternoon wind.

Spectrum 10k. went into it hoping to run faster than last years 35:24. i have ran more mile in training but figured my speed would not be much improved. overall it was a good race for me. this years time 35:09 last years splits -----------------------
mile 1 5:07 5:07 mile 2 5:47 5:46 mile 3 5:39 5:31 mile 4 5:54 5:57 mile 5 5:55 5:58 mile 6 5:44 5:54 .2 1:00 1:08 so i ran a little faster than last year, mainly because i finished a little stronger. in hind sight i should have stayed or tried to stay with Dustin Ence when he pushed to the front around mile 3. Nate bundy and i were gaining on Dustin but just ran out of race. i can't really complain though everbody around me ran a great race. i am excited to see what this year will bring. i ain't getting any younger but i am going to slowly increase mileage, try to stay injury free and see where that lands me come fall. mileage wise i am in new territory for me and hopefully i can build a better base.

| 10.5 in the morning in 1:12:30. i felt good better than i expected i would after this week. raced a 10k last weekend and then hit 65 miles this week and cranked out a pretty good run today. my first 2 miles were really slow getting warmed up. ended up deciding to throw in a couple tempo miles hit the first one at 6:02 and thought "that was too easy" so i ran the last one in 5:44 and it felt real good. plan is to keep mileage in the 60's for a few weeks. main thing is to stay injury free. i would rather be running less miles but at least be running than to be injured because i got over zealous with mileage. | |

| 5.5 miles in the morning 9.5 miles in the evening after supper. warmed up for a few miles then did a 5k on the track. i had a watch but the light doesn't work and it was too dark to read it. So i just started it and ran what i thought was no slower than 6:00 pace. it was different not being able to check splits. whenever i thought i was slowing i would have to focus more. i finished strong and stopped the watch and ran over too some light to see what the watch said. i was pleasantly surprised to see 17:58 i guess that the dissadvantage of knowing my splits is that if i am running too fast then i can just slow up a little. not being able to see splits i just kept pushing. im sure i didn't miss count my laps so i am happy. i usually run in the mid 17's on out and back 5Kraces. to run under 18:00 by myself on the track in the dark is pretty good.

5.5 miles in the morning. took about 5 miles just to get warmed up. more miles later today.
1.0 mile, saw Ben Jarvis running at canyon view track so i ran a mile with him so i could talk. 9.75 miles in late afternoon. There was an ROTC 5K this morning, but i couldn't run because of some family commitments. I decided to go to the track and run a 5K. Ever since i ran that 17:58 5K in the dark a week or so ago i have wondered if maybe i miss counted laps. Todays 5K was 17:43 on the track splits were (5:47), 11:31(5:44), 17:03(5:32), :40 last200M I felt really good and now i know i was correct on my last track 5K. the winner of the race this morning was 18:09 so i would have had a lot of fun. Had my saucony racing flats on and they were nice to run in. Another good week of training, I beleive that i hit another all time high for mileage this week. I just have to keep reminding myself to be careful and stay healthy. High mileage won't mean much at all if i am injured.

10.5 mile run this morning. absolutely great weather and i was surprised at how good i felt considering last week. (1:15:00). Hopefully i can get a few more later today to give me a great start to the week. mileage wise i figure to be about the same as last week.
didn't make it back out later in the day, bummer.

It is the out and back of a couple of upcoming 5k races on the coal creek trail. i ran the out(uphill) portion in 9:38 and the back partion in 8:03. I think i ran the race last year in 17:34. 7.5 miles before supper. felt pretty good all things considered. by the end of the run there wasn't much left in the legs. I read an interesting article about running shoes verses bare foot running. It was on line at lewrockwell.com Wednesday April 22 archive. Check it out.

Mileage slipped pretty bad this week, but that is ok. it is usually an inevitable part of my training cycles. I was pretty busy working all week too. I just wish i could have ran the hurricane half or some other race. i am rested and ready for some good training.

6.0 easy miles this morning. cut the run short to get home for breakfast with the family. i have been so busy this week i haven't been around as much as i like. Will try to get more this evening. 10.0 miles at 10:30 at night. didn't take a watch but i looked at the clock before and after. The run took 70:00 minutes. i felt really good all things considered. ran strong the whole time. i would say it was a marathon pace run although i am hoping i can run faster down the road. not a bad week of running but i need to get back into some higher mileage and running every day.

| 10.75 this morning, 9.25 out and back, then went to the track. plan was to run a mile with the goal of 5:00 minute pace for as long as possible. i knew it would be difficult. i was on pace at 800m but ready to quit. Kept going and ended up with a 5:13. It is amazing how different a 5 minute pace feels than even a 5:30 or 5:45. my lungs and arms were burning. My legs were not very fresh going into it so maybe i will do a shorter warmup next time. |

7.0--slept in til 7:30am. Just couldn't pry myself off the mattress. I was frustrated knowing that i was just going out running when i should have been done already. Once i got running i just couldn't face another 10+ miles at a pathetically slow pace so i turned for home after the first mile. Decided to hit the track for a healthy dose of tempo running. started out planning on 5k on the track. hit 5K in 18:10 and then just kept going till i hit 4 miles in 23:17. first 2 miles were each 5:50 then i kind of lost track but i think there were pretty close to the same. i am glad i did the tempo instead of a long slow one. sometimes it is good to get out and run faster even when you don't feel like it, It seems to refocus me and build confidence better than 8-9:00 pace does.

Effort was for the most part easy except i pushed it up fiddlers canyon road and then back down Nichols canyon road. I like this route, it gives me a good mile of sustained climbing followed by about a mile of down hill. it is good practice. Saw Greg Harris out running early this morning.

| 8.5 total. Went to the track for a 10X800m workout. I almost talked myself out of doing it. Yesterday my left hammy was a little sore and i couldn't figure out why because i only ran 3 easy miles yesterday and the hammy hurt later in the day. I had to give myself a pep talk and then after a 1.5 mile warmup i started the 800's goal was 2:40 and to start an 800m every 5 minutes. well the work out went great and no problems with the hammy. times were as follows: 2:40, 2:37, 2:38, 2:39, 2:39, 2:39, 2:41, 2:40, 2:40, 2:36
The first lap of the final 800m felt really herky jerky but i was get my form back and ran a pretty strong. overall this is probably the one of the best 800m workouts ever for me.

Got back into town late last night so i slept in a little bit. Luckily it was cool and overcast. I did some Ridge road hill laps. Intense 1/3 mile uphills followed by downhill practice running. It is one workout i never look forward to but i need to do it on a regular basis. went home got a drink ditched the watch and took the dog out for another 7.5 easy miles. A good start to the week. 1.0 mile of bare foot jogging with the family at the track. felt good on the grass but when i did a lap or so on the track i could tell my feet were not liking it.

| 10x800m at the SUU track. Nice workout this morning. Thanks to Stewmyster(new blog member) I had someone to run with. Work out went pretty much the same as last weeks except it seemed a little easier running with someone. The majority of the repeats were between 2:39-2:41. 2-3 of then were faster including the last one which was 2:34ish. I feel like this workout very beneficial. Some day i would like to work up to doing 20x800 in prep for a marathon.

mile warmup then jumped right into the race. Pretty much ran alone after 100 yards. It would have been really lonely if it wasn't an out and back. Splits were as follows: 1. 5:40 felt easy 2. 5:43 3. 5:44 still rolling
4. 5:53 5. 5:54 6. 5:42 .2 1:06
Didn't stop my watch but distance seemed to be accurate, at least not short. My garmin usually beeped just ahead of mile marks at the first few miles. I am happy with my race. No one was really pushing me, and considering the course i can't really complain about my time.

| Summer games 10k. 2nd place overall 33:12. Started out running with Garrett Stewart(Stewmyster on the blog). I fell back a little during the 3rd mile. Thought i could try and catch him but he was able to continue to push it and held strong to the finish. Pretty good race for me. only 13 seconds off my PR.

Summer Games 5K 15:38.5, first place overall and a huge PR for me. Kind of surprised myself. Once the race got going i settled into 3rd behind Garrett and a cedar high kid(forgot his name). I focused on staying close to them so i would have a chance at the end. Caught them and and took the lead with about a half mile to go. I was feeling pretty strong and finished well. I am pleased with my times although i would have liked to run faster yesterday. Running fast today makes me wonder what happened yesterday. Splits were as follows according to Garmin.
mile 1 5:02 mile 2 5:15 mile 3 4:59 .1 :21 Once again it seemed that my watch was regestering just a little late on the mile markers and 3.08 for the race total. Wore my saucony racers. probably only raced in them 3 times. The felt great, but I am just really cautious because they are light weight and light on the padding.

| Another fun day of summer games track. It was quite windy today. Ran the steeplechase 3000m in the morning. I have never ran one of these so it was interesting. In the middle of the race I ran right past the water barrier once i realized i had missed it i had to turn around run back and jump over it. It wasn't that big of a deal because i was already comfortably out in the lead. My kids enjoyed watching me run, hurdle and get wet. Time was 11:30 Went back in the afternoon and ran the 1500m. Again it was really windy. I just wanted to run under 5 minutes. Ended up with a 4:49.??. I figure that doing the track meet was a good way of getting some speed stuff in this week and i ended up getting 4 gold medals.

Met at SUU track and did 4x1600m with 800m jog between. times were: 5:31, 5:28, 5:25, 5:13 It seems so much easier to do these workouts when i don't have to do them alone. Garrett and I seem to be able to push each other and our fitness levels are very similar. finished off with some cool down miles.

| 4th July 5K. Legs hammies esp. were tight. forgot to reset and start my watch so did that after the gun while i was running. Only got accurate splits on my second and third miles. second mile was 5:59 (about 15 seconds slower than last year). I had a highschool kid right on my shoulder so i kept testing him the first few miles then once we hit 2 miles i just dropped the hammer and ran a 5:07 and won running away. ended bettering my my last years time by about 8 seconds. The race starts and stops at the same place so it is a very fair course Ran 10 more in the afternoon heat at 7:30 pace. lots of up and down hills.

| Always a fun race but this year it was really nice to have 2 brothers, a sister, and a brother in law running it. We camped in tropic, didn't sleep well but sleep the night before a race never seems to matter much to me. I am very pleased with my race. I set a new personal best by about 1:42. My goal going in was to nail the last 4-5 miles that i have always struggled with. I have been trying to work on my speed as well as better endurance it seemed to pay off. The one major glitch in the race was that after about 3 miles i felt like i was going to need a #2 potty stop. I opted to take none of my gu and just enough water to wet my mouth. Dumped the rest on my head. I was able to avoid a potty stop but it was a little scary at times. I don't think that this had much of a negative impact on my overall time. mile1 5:56 mile2 6:01 mile3 5:24 mile4 5:28 mile 5 5:43 mile 6 5:36 mile 7 5:46 mile 8 5:51 mile 9 5:55 mile 10 5:51 mile 11 5:55 mile 12 6:01 mile 13 5:40 .1 in :33
As you can see I ran a consistant race for the most part. The winner was in my age group so that was cool. I was glad to see so many others have great races. Already looking forward to next years race.

| 10K race in Enterprise. I felt like I was recovered well from last weeks half, But the last 1.5 miles i could really feel my legs(esp calves) tighten and knot up. Overall it was a good race for me and despite the legs i was able to finish stronger than in years past. Course was short like it always is and they had the official times way messed up. I was the overall winner and my watch said 33:04 but they had my time at 32:41 so that is more than just a slight error. I try not to complain much because the race is very inexpensive($12), I can time myself, and we all have to run the race whether it is short or long. It is just hard to compare times to other accurate courses. This was a huge PR on this course for me. 2 yrs ago i ran 33:41. splits were mile 1 5:12 mile 2 5:16 mile 3 5:20 mile 4 5:26 mile 5 5:34 mile 6 5:50 406 ft in :23

11.0 miles this morning. Met up with Garrett and ran up to the start of the USG 5k and ran a 4 mile tempo back down. I asked Garrett what pace he wanted to hit, he said between 5:40-50. Well I was feeling pretty good and we missed our goal pace. We ran 5:25,5:15,5:11,5:25. The first mile felt really good and we just kept going. I am very pleased. I really didn't know what to expect because i have felt kind of sick the last couple days and ate very little for the last few days
5.5 miles at 10:00pm. actually a decent run, took it easy but felt good.

| Camping out at upper lehman campground. got up early and hiked to the top of wheeler peek. hike started at 10,000feet and ended at just over 13,000. Round trip the hike was about 8 miles. Then i changed into my running gear and ran down the mountain to our campground(2500ft of decent in 10 miles). Two years ago i ran up this same road and then back down but it gave me a near injury as i tried to tempo down the hill. This year i just tried to hold back and it was still pretty bad. Not a bad day of hiking and running at altitude.

| Opted to not run this morning. Camping up here in the mountains means that when you go for a run it will be either uphill or down when you start and the opposite coming back to camp. My quads were feeling it from fridays adventures. Opted to get a good run in once back home in the evening. PM Strapped on the camel back and headed out at 7:00pm. Plan was to run a few miles around town and then up the canyon to the 10K start then get some good miles coming down. I figured this would give me at least 16 miles and the option of doing more. Legs were pretty sore from the start but i pushed it to the top of the canyon and hit the first 10 miles in 76 min and put some serious wear on the legs with this uphill stuff. I think my effort was harder going up the canyon coming down but on the way down i hit 6:19,6:03,6:03,6:25 legs(quads)were really hurting and i just shut things down and headed home. Even running the rest of the way home my quads kept hurting. I guess i did some serious damage these last few days. Funny how my quads never bothered me after Summer Games, Bryce, or Enterprise. I guess i finally ran enough steep hills to hammer them. I figure this is a good thing since all of my upcoming races are hilly. I think that i finally hit 60 miles in a week. It has been quite a while since i have done this. The plan is to keep training hard and try to keep my mileage up for another month.

3 5:34 4 5:25(greg was right on my tail pushing me) 5 5:29 starting to feel my legs are getting tired 6 5:28(It was my turn to lead off but greg wanted to hit 5:20 or better so i told him he better lead out cause i didn't have one of those in me. I hit the first lap in 1:20 and the half in 2:45 and then just tried to push hard to the end. Overall a great workout and it was definitely easier and more productive to run with Greg. Thanks Greg.

| A good race to have over. Course was about what I expected but those hills were a beast. James Holt and I ran together all the way out to the turnaround and on the way back we were never really that far away from each other. At about mile twelve we were right together. It was nice to have him around otherwise it would have been very lonely. My legs didn't really feel very good right from the start(still not recovered from track workouts and last weekend). I don't think James was very rested either. splits 613,629,645,612,638,625,629,714,715,709,642,739,638,650,637,.03 This was a good training run for me. It is a race that i would do again but i probably wouldn't look forward to it like i do some of the other races.

10.5 I have taken over the domestic duties, my wife is out of town. Makes it harder to fit running in. Decided to load the two youngest into the jogger and take then out before lunch. Just took it easy. pushing that extra weight around really exaggerates the up and down hills. Just glad i was able to get out. Legs actually feel pretty good right now.
PM- 3 more miles before bed. other than a work related bruise on my shin, my body feels pretty good right now.

This has been a good week mileage wise and monday was basically a long run. I might try something later tonight. |

AM- 22.2(total running time 2:46:55) met up with Greg and ran around town. It was great to have someone to do a long run with. I felt pretty good, we kept the pace pretty easy. I only drank 16 oz of water and had 2 GU during the first 21 miles. decided to stop and get more water at Walmart because i was really starting to feel it. looking back i should have refilled my bottle because we ran past numerous drinking fountains. temps were cool and i just didn't think about, guess i was just enjoying the run a little to much. body handled the GU well and my bruised shin didn't bother me so that was good. cold bath and ice on the shin afterword. |

| 16.7 ran down the canyon with Greg and his dad. 4 miles easy warmup then jumped into a 10 mile tempo. Greg was nice to me and we started out conservatively, i was with him at 5 miles and then he just kept cranking up the pace. I was feeling pretty good through 8 miles and then i started getting a stomach cramp( i wonder if 6+ pieces of German chocolate cake last night had anything to do with it). At the end of mile 9 i had to stop the watch and stop to get rid of the cramp, then started back into tempo for the last mile. I was running really well and then the cramp came back at about 9.9 miles and and i had to slow way down. It is of course frustrating but looking at my split times i can't feel too bad. I covered the 10 miles in just under 60 minutes if you don't count my stopped time. splits were: 619,613,554,551,547,539,550,558,620,551

| AM 13.0--track workout 4-3-2-1 with a lap jog in between. warmed up a little and jumped into the 4 miles, it was dark so i had to swing wide at the end of each mile to get a split. i was running blind. 4mile 24:46(6:22,6:13,6:08,6:03) 3mile 18:00(5:59,6:02,5:59) 2mile 12:00(6:01,5:59) 1mile 5:36 This was a pretty good workout for me. my legs were still a little sore from saturdays tempo(esp the calves) so i didn't know how if would fare today. Even though this was supposed to be a marathon pace workout i feel like my marathon pace will be closer to 6:30 but it is hard to do track workouts and run much slower than 6:00pace.

| I have definitely had better race days. Ran the first 12-13 miles pretty good and then just bonked. I am not quite sure what the deal was. I was even able to take gu which i haven't done in the last two 13+ mile races. 2:14:16 on my watch, the official clock was 2 minutes fast. no mile markers for the twenty so thank goodness for the garmin.

I really had to try hard the last mile to not get passed by the fourth place finisher. This was still the fastest i have ever ran 20 miles but it wasn't what i was shooting for. I might need to re evaluate how fast i go out in the marathon. If this would have a been a marathon, i would have really been in big trouble.

| AM- nothing, as bad as i felt on last nights run i just slept in. PM- Headed out the door at about 8:45pm. It was dark but temps were cool. Wanted a nice easy 20 miler. ran the first 10 miles at about 7:30 pace and felt decent but unfortunately i crashed at about 11-12 miles. pace just kept dropping and by 14 i was 10:00+ pace. Just walked the last 2-3 miles home. total time about 2:40:00. Not sure what the deal is but everything running wise seems to be going straight down the toilet. I am not sure what to do at this point other than just rest up and see what happens. I tried to rest this past week but still couldn't hold 7:30 pace much past 10 miles. It really makes me wonder what to expect in the marathon.

I have been working more lately and running less. hammies are sore from using a sledge hammer and shovel a little too much this week. can i count breaking out driveways and repouring them as cross training?

My right achilles/lower calf has been a little bothersome for a few weeks. legs pretty much just felt heavy and unresponsive, hope that my BIG taper will at least get me feeling a little energetic. |

Actually i have felt extra tired the last few weeks even though i have been running less and sleeping more. When I get colds they usually settle in my upper chest. It is good to be sick now rather than next week. I can't complain too much because i have been very healthy for the last few years. I know others are sick too so hopefully we can all get healthy again. |

| An absolutely beautiful morning for a marathon or any other outdoor activity. Not as cold as usual at the start and not as hot as usual at the finish. I hit 8 miles in 52:00, i started out going for a 2:50 marathon. I really felt great up til about 10 miles, took a quit porta potty stop and felt even better. As I remember it i was running along at about mile 12 talking another runner about how the marathon is a strange animal and you never know what will happen. I mentioned that one mile you can be feeling great and the next your not. All of the sudden i got hit with a major side ache that literally stopped me. I walked and messaged it for 30 seconds or so. I was thinking "where did that come from" because there was no warning at all. My legs felt great and i was able to get things going again but the side ache just stuck around the rest of the race and I just ran whatever pace i could. Hit the halfway in about 1:29. I am a bit perplexed by the stomach thing and hope it is nothing serious. My stomach on the right side is pretty sore. another odd thing is that my knee caps are sore in a way that i have never really experienced. I feel like i never really got the chance to push my lungs or my legs much. There will be other races down the road and this has been a great year of running and some PR's in other races. I have said it before and i'll say it again. The real prize for me is just being able to run and i'm greatfull for that. I had an experience in this marathon in the last mile(by the tabernacle) I saw a young guy really struggling and doing what i call the "chicken walk". I could see he was barely moving and about to go down. everybody just kept running by him. I stopped and grabbed him just as he was falling backward to the pavement. He asked me to help him up, he was so close and just wanted to finish. a few cops rushed over and said lets get him off the course, i told them to let him sit there and rest so he could try to finish. As i left him and ran off to finish my race i felt energized. I saw a few others like him being helped by spectators. Those who struggle like that and keep trying, they are the real heroes.
3 of my brothers also ran and finished the marathon. I'm proud of them
All in all it was a great day and i will be back again and again. the marathon is a mountain that i don't think i will ever tire of climbing. It is a race against the clock, yes. But for each person it is a race against so many other things. congratulations to all who ran. There are probably many out there who are saying "I finally beat that Neumann guy in a race". I am glad to be able to in some way make this marathon a great one for you, but one to these years i will bust a good one.

My body is feeling better and better. I don't know if i will good back to trying to hammer out the miles like i did earlier this year. |
