| Left the house around 5:30, kind of stiff going down the stairs, but was fine once I got out on the road. Did a couple of hill repeats on Redwood Drive and pushed it hard the rest of the way home. Intermittent stiffness in my left knee, but nothing to be too concerned about at this point. Felt good. Weight gradually coming down. | Add Comment |

| I was extra groggy this morning, getting dressed and getting out the door. When I started running, it was like I was still in a dream. I gradually came around, but didn't feel all that energetic until I was a couple miles into the run. Ran a fairly even pace until towards the end when I put it into high gear. I didn't feel any aches or pains, but I was breathing hard and sweating pretty good by the time I finished. | Add Comment |

| Very warm this morning with the cloud cover. We've had daytime temperatures in the high 80's the last couple of days and it hasn't been cooling down that much at night. Ran in shorts and a long sleeve shirt at 5:30 am and was a little overheated by the end. Ran just below threshold pace for most of the run. Picked it up at the end. Generally felt better than yesterday. Saw lots of people out this morning (fourteen or so). | Add Comment |

| Set the wrong alarm for this morning, so I was late getting up. Expected to see rainy conditions but it was warm and dry (but overcast). Mostly ran at an easy pace, but picked it up the last half mile. | Add Comment |

| This was our second race for the runner's series. We'd planned this as a family run, but our daughter had a track meet in Orem that she needed to be at, so just my wife and I ran it. She was first in her age group. I didn't wear a watch so I don't know my splits. I started off a little fast as it was cold and I wanted to get clear of the pack. After about fifty yards I was clear and from there to the end, I was only passed once and passed one. I followed a young twenty-something guy for the whole race and caught up to him with about a half mile to go. We chatted briefly and he then pushed a little harder to the end. I think he might have been motivated by the idea of not getting beat by an old guy. Felt like I'd given it my best effort, but was surprised when about ten minutes after the race I got really wheezy and congested. I think it was allergies kicking in. Later in the day I got one of the worst sinus headaches I've ever had, so I'm glad I was able to get through the race OK. | Add Comment |
