ran 8 miles today now off to work yipeeeeeeee

today I ran a slow 6 miles.  I also went on a 5 mile hike on the back side of Farmington.  Nice day 

Ran a six mile loop today,  Just taking it easy and tapering for the Ogden

today I went on a 8 mile hike in the mountains.  It was a nice day so i took advantage of the trail hike to see some wildlife. 

Today I woke up with a sore knee, probably from the hike yesturday.  I left out the door and it was snowing a little.  Decided to run my favorite 6 mile course, it has a lot of rolling hills and a little downhill.  I managed to run this in 43:12 my knee was a little sore until I loosened up then I fealt great.  Now Ice the knee and stretch.  Not too bad of a run.  Looking forward to Ogden in a week.  Starting to get nervous I hate that.   

today I ran 5 miles and rode the bike 10 miles.

Today I ran 10 miles on the Syracuse trail.  Nice day ran pretty good knee has been a little sore so I have been iceing the heck out of it after.  Ran the 10 miles in 1:14 feel good about the time, took it easy the first 5 miles and picked it up the last 5.

Went for a nice bike ride 15 miles this morning.  Great morning..  Happy Mothers day to all you Mothers out there..  Hope you have a great day today.  

ran a nice 5 miler today just to loosen the leg.  Still a little knee pain but i can manage to run well after it loosens up.  Weird that this happens a week before a marathon but hey I know I can get through it ok.  Ice, Ibprofen, and rest.  Looks like the weather will be another nice year this year in Ogden. 

Ran 5 miles did ok, It is raining like cats and dogs, but got it done. Now I get to rest for the day.

nice 5 miles

I am going on a bike ride today with the wife. Going to ride 10 miles and loosen up the legs.  Sore groin so taking it easy.  Saturday is coming fast. 

today was a nice easy 5 miler.  Groin still pulled causeing ITB pain on right knee. 

Well I was very sore going into this race.  I had a pulled groin and ITB was tight on my right knee all week before the race.  I was very stressed that I was not feeling 100 percent as I trained alot harder this marathon and had alot more miles in.  I rode my bike the week before and put in a few miles to let the leg rest and see how it would hold up.  The night before all I thought about was not finishing and my groin and knee not letting me finish.  I told myself that I need a little bit of sleep and I was able to get a few hours is all.  I woke up at 3 am to get started on some good breakfast, two bananas, piece of toast and some water.  I took a power bar for the start while I was waiting.  Bus was great I ended up on a nice charter bus that had reclining seats and sat next to a good friend.  The ride was nice and I got to the start an hour and a half before.  It was cold as usual and I managed to stay warm with a large plastic bag that covered my body.  The race lined up on time and I decided that I was not going to line up to close to the front.  So I lined up around the 7:50 to 8 minute pace sign.  Not knowing how I would feel once I started running on my leg was so stressful.  The race started and we were off.  The first two miles was hard on the groin it was trying to stretch and I could feel it, but it did not hurt too bad.  I ran the first half in 1:33 and was feeling really good.  I got to the hill at 14 and once on top I feel my ITB tightening up and my groin started to hurt.  I slowed a bit to a comfortable pace and finished at 3:24:04.  Not to bad for the way I was feeling going into this race.  Placed 160 overall and 30 in age group.  The weather was awesome, great friends and people cheering along the way.  These things do not get any easier.  Good job to all that came out and ran.

Well I worked a 14 hour day yesturday and got home at 2:30 this morning and said what the heck set the alarm for 5:45 to go register for the 5K in Syracuse.  I have not ran a 5K in a while I was not anticipating a fast race, but my competitive inside told me line up with the young bucks up front.  I mean there was young kids all over up front that I knew where going to fly out of the start.  The race started and we were off.  I stayed with the leaders throughout the race and we broke away from the large pack behind us.  At mile 2 I thought wow this race is going fast and i am almost finished.  I kicked to the finish and came in feeling good.  Time was 20:02 and I wanted under 20 but oh well I was close to it.  Great day took 10th overall and 1st in my old age group.
