Morning run from ???

Today was going to be track workout day with the club. I wanted to get in a long run, and still wanted to do a track workout so. I got up at 4:30 and it was still 86 degrees out- sucks I was hoping for 70's. I gave myself an hour to go run and be at the track by 6 a.m. to meet the guys. I ran down into town and looped Foremaster hill and up to Pine View HIgh track right on time at 6 a.m. and 8.5 miles into my hour run so far. I got to the school and jogged around it to find a porta potty (very helpful at the time) - then jogged back to the track and did one more mile on it to warm up with Tony (the only one who showed up). Now Ten miles into the run and start the 800"s. No time goal not knowing what to expect after doing 10 miles.

1. 2:40- not too bad, not too good as far as time but feeling pretty good.

2. 2:37- A little faster but nothing to write home about.

3. 2:38- Now starting to feel like maybe I'm tierd and maybe I need to be done for the day.

4. 2:40- Wanted to finish hard and run the fastest one- but a head wind came up on both laps of this one and I run around a 2:36-37 effort but now I'm done for real just get me home.

400 recovery after each 800.

Run home from high school 2 more miles to put me at 15. Goal for the morning was to finish off 20 miles after the track workout. But by the time I got up to the gas station one mile from home I just came home and decided to finish tonight with 5 more miles on the treadmill. Got on the scale and was 146 after drinking. So I'm sure I was down a pound or two lower than 146- my all time low. Very dehydrated. Kind of sick on the couch for a couple hours after. I know I'm a baby.

8 more miles this afternoon. No, not on the treadmill. It RAINED! The first time in like three months. So today at around 2 p.m. it was 80 degrees and cooler than 5 o'clock this morning. I pretty much dropped everything and went out. I was a little tierd but felt great. In the hour I was gone it went from 80 to 94 by the time I got home.

I was in Manchester 97-99. Great time, great experiences, yada yada yada. Where did you run in college? High school? Thanks for the feedback on the workout, I can picture the heat down there and trying to slog through intervals. I wish you well in your 2007 marathon. Joe

Sorry didn't make it over for speed. I think I'm going to have to back off a little the next few days. I've been feeling quite a bit of pain in my hips. I had similiar problems in high school and some in college. I also can't seem to stop coughing. I'm not sure if I have something or if it is just something in the air. We're going down to Phoenix tomorrow until Sunday, so hopefully I can get some runs in on our little vacation.

Nice picture. Do you know when our batons will make their way up to Logan?

Looks like we had a similar workout today, but you ran alot more miles and got up 2 hours earlier. I know all about the headwinds that come up at that track.

What is the air quality like down there? I heard you had another fire down in Washington somewhere. The air quality here is bad, we are getting smoke from the big fire down between Mona and Torrey. Who is Tony?

From James on Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 18:23:21

I thought maybe Tony was Tony Jones that runs the 1500 for USU. I know he is from southern Utah somewhere, and thought you guys had found another ringer to train with. Glad the air is good, we could use some rain up here to clear things up!

Send some of that rain up here, eh?

Who is coming up to Des News? Are they doing the marathon or 10k?
