Stu's Running Blog

Ran a very slow and easy 5 miles along the Provo river running trail. My mid point wher turned back was just past riverside country club. I didn't feel like running much faster until about 3.5 miles. Just trying to ease into a steady running routine. My average pase was 9 min miles. It feels good to run.

Muscles were sore last night when I ran so I did a 3 mile recovery run. Avr. between and 9 and 10 minute miles. I didn't feel like running or going faster until 2.5 miles into the run. the first morning after my 5 mile run I was very hungry and eating everything in site. morning after 2nd run which is actually the 23 I don't feel as hungry. I think that I would like to switch to morning runs eventually but I would have to run around 4:30 or 5 am to fit it into my morning schedule.

my right achilles tendon hurt and after a mile I was thinking of just doing three at 1.5 it started to loosen so I ran 5 but I made sure to not push. I ran at an avr 10 min mile picking up the pace after 2.5. in between 2.5 and 3.5 I felt the best I could feel the steady pace kick in and I began to do the gut regulation of my hips making sure that I was keeping a steady rpm. this morning the 24th my achillies tendon was a little sore but I dont think I hurt it. I will probably do another 3 mile recovery run today.

This has been one of the most difficult runs this week mentally and endurance wise to keep running. Didn't feel like running until 2.5 miles into the run. I saw a lady resting on the trail with lots of bags from maceys about 100 meters from the end of the run. I helped her carry them home. I was able to get and extra .25 miles in because of it.

I walked 1.5 miles but no running.

ran 2 miles muscle were a little tight I wanted to loosen then up with a short run so I could do a longer run the next day Tuesday.

I ran 3 miles at a 10 min pace my body is feeling more in shape. I am going to make it a goal to not miss another day of my 6 day running even if it is just 1 mile.

Everyday

I am going to try and run 3 everyday. today I ran 1.5 miles to work and 1.5 miles home. There was an hour brake in between while I was working. there is a big hill in the run.

Felt very slow and sluggish yet I felt that I was in a good running rhythm. 9 min avr.

The muscle in my upper right thigh felt pulled and I got home around 10 pm from the temple. In addition I will be transitioning to morning runs tomorrow so I ran 1 mile today.

I woke at 4:45 this morning and went running. Still trying to take it easy. It has only ben 8 hours since my last run. I ran 11 min miles. Felt good to run in the morning. I am also walking to and from work now a days so that is an extra 3 miles of calorie burning that will help me keep my weight down.

Felt sluggish ran avr of 9 min miles. I ws running about an 8 towards the end.

one week of 6 day in a row running alright

I ran home from work changed and ran another mile and a half

This week has been thrown off by going to bed late so I am trying to switch back to mornings. It was late but I ran a mile anyway. Trying to keep up with my commitment and I figure if sasha says it will help me running 6 day a week, he is probably right.

I have been in open rebellion the last two days against running and working hard specifically. A bit of a vacation from the stresses of live. It really has felt like a vacation. So I will try not to have another one of these running vacations for at least a month.

Mental vacation felt great. I went running this mornining at 5. It was hard at first to get up but the run felt great. I ran at about a 9min 30 sec pace. I am hoping that over time I will get faster. For right now my goal is to be constent and get my running up to 35 plus miles per week

I got up late around 5:20 so I only ran three miles. It seems that I start off at a shuffle in the morning but I get much faster towards the end. I ran at about a 10 min mile avr

Thanks for the constant encouragement Sasha. It has been a big strength

I ran these at a 9 min avr. didn't feel like running until 1.5 miles

I went running at 9:30 pm and hated every stride. But I did it.

Went running at 6:30 this morning and I had to climb on a wall to jump over some water. I think I might have very very lightly sprang my left ankle. I will take it easy and only run 3 tomorrow probably thought I was planning on running 5.

I ran 1 mile to go easy on the ankle. It was sore during the run but I don't think I went too far.

Went running in the after noon and it felt great. I think i was running sub 9s around 8 min miles toward the end. There were two girls that started running in front of me about the same speed just a little slower when than I was running but about the same speed so I kicked it into high for about the last mile and a quarter so that I would stay ahead.

Went running this morning and took it slow at a 10 minute mile pase. It felt great. I would like to do a 5 mile slow run tomorrow morning.

Went running at 6:20 am this morning. It was hard to get out of bed but felt good to run even though I felt I was going really slow. I ran just under 10 min miles

Went running at about 7 am just under 10 minute miles. Felt good. Also walked to work 1.5 miles. I am going to start recording the walking that I do in the comments.

It was late and I was thinking of skippin but then my wife told me that I would feel better if I ran and she prayed I would have the strength to run in our family prayer. so right afterward at 11 pm I went running.

another day that was early long and spent with family. everyone started watching a movie late and I stepped out at 11:30 pm

I think my body is getting in better shape. It least that is what it feels like. I am still running just under 10 min avr. I start slow and probably end somewhere around an 8 min mile or faster.

I ran three miles in just under 9 min avr miles. There were so many people on the trail cooking, running a at about 7 min mile pace.

I ran three miles at a sub 9 pace it took a mild push and it felt good.

Ran at an avr of sub 9s I was surprised because I took it easy. I think it was around an 8:45 avr.

My plan is to increase by approximately two miles a week

We were in a hurry for a teachers end of the year party at springville so I ran 3 miles at about a 8'30" avr.

felt worn out and didn't each much during the day I ran at a sub 11 avr

Felt tired but when running. I didn't feel like running until the 4th mile or so. ran an avr 9'45"

I am feeling great, However my calves seem tight. My legs felt tight for the first 2 miles of the run but then they loosened up.

ran at an avr 10 min mile

ran at an avr 9 min mile. my 5 mile run in half up hill from my house just past river side a few block and half down hill. It is easier to run fast when I am warmed up and running down hill.

I ran 5 miles at about a 9:30 pace

Avr 8:30 miles Probably the last Tuesday for a long time that I will only be running 3 miles. I also walked 1.5 to word and 1.5 home and .5 with my wife today. Walking to work gives me time to read!

I ran these 5 at a sub 9 avr pace. I think one thing that is keeping me at slower times is my stride. I am taking a short one currently. I remember that my stride used to be longer. I will gradually increase this.

9 min avr

just under 9 min Avr

9:30 min avr

walked 1.5 miles but I did not run. I will run 5 the rest of this week and 10 on Saturday

I went running very late and was exhausted. I only ran 5 miles and not 7 which I felt bad about but my body just wasn't moving and I wanted to get home. I ran at a 10 min mile avr.

I got home from hiking all day in goblin valley. It was very easy for me to justify not to go running, I had exercised all day. So I laid down for a nap and then woke up a couple hours later. My mind could still justify not running but my body couldn't - I had a physical urge to go running. So I got dressed and went.

I ran a time trial this morning with sasha around the 2 mile loop. I rand the 2 miles at a sub 7 pace. I ran 1 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down and another mile that night.

I ran this about about a 9 minute mile pase

I ran the 6 miles at about a 6.25 mile pase

I was in Layton and ran 3 miles actually a little more up hill and 3 miles down with a steap 1.5 mile stretch. Quads were a bit sore after the run because of the down hill stretch

I got food poisioning on sunday night but I still ran the 6 miles while in richfield Utah by salina. I felt like I was going to throw up and go to the bathroom during the entire run. When I got back and throughout the rest of the day I realize I was really sick. I threw up and had diarea until late that night. I think that I should take it easy tomorrow and drink lots of liquids. I am dehidrated and my body had a slight fever

I was feeling dehidrated today

Drank some salt water which helped with the hidration process ran these six at a slow pace, about 9 min miles

my stomach was still feeling very weak last night and I was in pain. the only thing that I can really say about last night's run is that I did it and I didn't walk. I ran about 11 min avr miles

about a 10 min mile pace

The run was still pretty hard today. I thinkt that my body is exhausted and still recooperating from being sick. I ran at about a 10 min avr mile pace

I ran at just under a sub 9 pace.

Thanks for the encouragement Sasha I really appreciate it.

Felt good today but I started slow and lagged between mile 3 and 5. I ran the 6 in just over a 9 min mile pace.

I ran at a 10 min pase

I ran these at a 9 min

I decided not to run. it was 10 or 11 and I was mentally an physically beat. I just went to bed it was a long week and day.

I ran 8 miles at a nine minute mile pace. I the past couple weeks I have been rouding down and dividing into the total time. so 6.5 would be 6 into whatever the total time is. I am going to try and just list the total time from now on and be more exact in how much I run.

I ran this distance in 55 minutes.

62 minutes total that included the time that I had to run in to Will's pit stop and use the restroom. Stomach problems.

65 minutes total that is including the stop that I had to make just a quarter mile from my house. I had to use the restroom. Stomach problems. I think it added 3 minutes or so.

I ran this in a total of 58 Minutes. I will buy the watch within the next two weeks.

I don't remember what the time was on this but I think it was in the neigborhood of 58 minutes

I ran this sin 90 minutes

I ran 7 miles in 60 minutes

I will be ready for speed training soon. I just need to buy a watch. However I made some financial goals the I will be accomplishing towards the end of this week and I decided that I would not buy runnning gear until I had accomplished my goal. So this weekend I will buy a watch. So what should I do for speed training? tempo runs on Saturday? 1 7 pace mile and then a 9 min. Alternating back and forth with a 2 mile warm up on the front and back

This week end I would like to run 10 or 13 miles

I ran 7 miles in a total of 57 minutes. I didn't push but I didn't allow myself to slow down.

I did the total run in about 57.30. I starded with an 8'35" second then did about a 7:45 then went back up to just below 9. After mile 4 I picked up some speed.

slate canyon time trial 14:10

it was my 6 month anniversary so I skipped it, I didn't feel like running

1:03:50

My ham string was tight so I slowed it down

1:09:50

I ran the 8 miles in 1:06:30 and then I ran a half mile cool down. It felt good I might start doing this cool down thing more often when I wake up early.

I did this in about 1:08

I ran this with no water in 97 degree humid wheather along the trail at 1 pm in the afternoon. Wow! I ran it in 1:15:30. hundred degree weather and no water adds 5-7 minutes to my 8 mile run.

I ran 8 miles in 1:07:25 the first mile took 10 mins and the last was run in about 7:15. After the 8 miles I ran a .5 mile cool down.

Strained my ham string so I am taking it easy

still hurts I am running slow

felt better today

I ran a 64.30

traveling all day on a vacation tried to run in the morning but I had too much to do and got to california very late

I didn't run because I got up late and the rest of the day was planned.

I think this is how much I ran. I ran for 75 minustes today on the beach. felt very gluttonous.

got up early and went running on the beach for 44 minutes in one direction and then I turned around.

I think that I ran about 9 miles because I went running for 84 minutes. 45 minutes out and then in pretty fast. I think I strained my right aquilies tendon sometime later in the day. I might have to take it easy this next week?

I just ran 3 at about a 9 min pace. My knees were craving the run. they have gotten achy these last few days I think it is for lack of impact. my my achilies tendon was fine and I didn't feel any pain so I will be running the provo half this saturday. I am looking forward to it. I hope my body is in good enough shape.

I ran for 20 minutes so I am being conservative and putting down 2 miles

I ran for 46 minutes so I am being conservative and putting down 4.5

I ran for 54 minutes so I am being conservative and putting down 5 but it was probably closer to 6 miles

I ran for 56 minutes I might have run more than 6 but I am not sure I will start measuring from now one. It is 1.5 to the provo trail from where we live now. so I can run to the train and basically add only a a mile from what I would have run at that point.

I ran 6 miles in 49:34 and I felt good. I am going to move it up to 7 miles at a slow pace next week. If I feel any pain or tension while running I will slow down or try to only run 6 if I haven't reached the half way point.

I ran 6 in 52:13

I ran 6 miles in 49:42

I ran this in 57:42
