My brother and I went along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail south to Corner Canyon.  It probably wasn't that smart to go on a longish run when I haven't been out in a week, but I was hoping that going slow would make it okay.  The last downhil was slightly painful for my left knee, but after the run I didn't feel any IT band pain.  Next week I'm back on a schedule.  I'm thinking of doing the Timpanogos Trail Half on 5/24.

Lunch run with Andrea.  This weather is really motivating me to run.  I probably should have put sunscreen on.

8 x 30s with equal jog recovery. Here are the paces:

5:19, 5:24, 5:15, 5:32, 5:28, 5:24, 5:20, 5:07

I had a beautiful day to do this workout and ended up doing it at 10:00 pm. At least the temperature was nice. I gotta stop doing dark runs.

Thanks Andrea for inviting me on a run with you Allie and Devra.  My 2-week break and the hotter weather made this run a little more difficult for me than normal at a 7:45 min pace.  At least I hope that's the case because I don't have anything else to blame.  The cooldown for my run last night was at a slower pace than normal.  I think it all means that I just need to get back on a regular running schedule.

After work played about 30 min of frisbee.

7:43 pace and I felt good. My heart rate didn't go up high like it did on Wed. I guess Wed was just a blip.

Ran a section of the Timp Trail Half Marathon course with my brother Mark. My knee was hurting on many of the ups and downs.

I ran 8 miles this morning up 106th South into Dimple Dell.  My knee starting hurting off and on up the hill and then a little down the hill.  I guess I need to stop doing hills.

My heart rate monitor says I was at 180 bpm for a lot of the run but it must have been off because it was a very casual run.  Maybe I didn't have it on right.  I'll watch it this week.

A short night run after packing for camping trip to Capitol Reef.

Had a nice visit with Dr Poulsen this afternoon to discuss the instability with my shoulder.  I'm excited to finally start dealing with it.  Thank you Andrea for the referral.

My family and I went to Teasdale, Utah for a vacation and I did a little running. I did 10 x 1 min the first night get we got there. It was cold and I had a bit of a tailwind at times explaining some of my faster times. 5:49, 5:57, 5:34, 5:25, 4:55, 4:53, 4:55, 5:43, 5:36, 6:57.

I was cold and tired on #10 and maybe the tailwind decreased a little. This would have been a lot better had I done it during the day.

6 mile loop on the Great Western Trail with my friend Abe. We got turned around a little but the sun was out and the temp was nice.

4 miles with Cody and his dog on some dirt roads around Teasdale. Then I went on a 3 mile tempo: 6:43, 6:45, 7:06. The last mile had a little hill and I was really feeling the 7300 ft.

I'm going to buy a place in Teasdale to retire.

Night run after getting home from Capitol Reef. It would have been nice to do this run before coming home but I had a rough night with kids in the tent.

Warm run tonight. No knee pain for a week but I haven't done any steep hills which seem to trigger it.

I couldn't get myself out of bed earlier enough to do more than 3 miles.  Late night with my 2 year old kid.

4 mile tempo on a late lunch break.  6:37, 6:51, 6:51, 6:55.  My heart rate was climbing more than normal and I don't think it was a problem with my monitor.  168, 178, 176, 183.  The last mile felt very difficult.  There was a little wind but not enough to explain a 183.

6 miles on the treadmill at lunch.  I know it's possible to run in the rain, but I just had no desire to.  Same thing happened on Saturday and I didn't get a long run in.  I need to man up.

I went to Alta HS this morning to do a track workout.

4x800m w/400m jog recovery

3:09, 3:05, 3:04, 3:05

4x200m w/200m jog recovery

40, 40, 39, 40

As I finished my knee started bothering me a little. I've been avoiding hills because they've triggered IT pain. But the guess a good workout also affects my knee.

Just a few miles this morning.  My knee started hurting after about 3 miles.  I haven't been doing my knee exercises consistently.
