Todd Kelly

ran a quick 3 mile run after work at 2 am.  It was cold and quiet. 

Today I ran on the track and was able to run a pretty good run.  I came in at 1:30:14 and feel like I could have come in a lot faster.  I had slowed down a few times to help the wife finish her run today.  She did great and I think we are pushing for a PR in St GEorge in a few weeks in the half.  Happy new Year everyone

Ran in the smog.  YUK  was able to get through it and the smog lifted after I was done.  Nice.  Oh well feel good.

Today I did some speed work on the indoor track.  Ran a 1 mile warm up it was a 8:00 minute mile and picked it up the second mile to a 7:10 mile and the next two miles was between a 6:00 to a 6:30 mile and a cool down last mile.  feel really good 

ran a nice steady 3 mile run today before work. 

ran 7 miles today outside on the causway to antelope island.  cold and quiet out there.

3 miles around town

ran inside today the weather and air is pretty bad out there. 

5 miles around town

did 8 miles and rode the bike 10 miles. 

Ok today I decided that I would run outside since the fog lifted a bit.  I went out pretty good and finished strong.  Ran 5 miles at 34:18 and feel really good with that time.  first mile and a half is up hill and the rest is flat.  What is weird I feel like I could have ran faster, better save it for the half marathon next weekand.  I feel like the speed work that I have been doing on the indoor track has really helped out.     

ran a taper run with the wife today on the track.  Nice and easy.  Still do not know how to taper for a half marathon.  Never had to do it before. 

7 miles

3 miles taper for this week race

3 miles easy for a taper

Well that was a pretty challenging half mile course.  Alot of hills I was really surprised.  1470 total runners 113 place overall.  I am happy with the results I was hoping for 1:30, but I feel really good considering the course.  Congrats to all who ran and to Ben for the third place overall.  

Woke up in St George and the weather was to good to not go out and run a little after the race.  I was a little sore but ran a nice 5 miler up some hills to the condos that we stayed at.  Pretty slow at first and after a few miles I warmed up.  

ran 5 miles today on the indoor track with some speed intervals.

Today was a speed work day.  I went to the indoor track and sprinted 400's with tempo runs and then went to sprinting 200's and tempo after each for a total of 4 miles.  I ran pretty fast .  Will work of to more yasso 800's and right now just helping the wife and her friend with some speed work and including more in my training.   

Ran 6 miles today outside. The weather was nice roads a little wet and snowy but we got it done.  Did the loop backwards more up hill.  Ran following pace:

Ran today outside with the wife, tried out the new pair of shoes and I love them. The new Mizuno Elixers are sweet. Anyways did well wife wanted me to run with her so i did and did a few surges along the way.

Ok today was a change of pace, took the bike out and rode 20 miles nice day a little chilly but was great to get out on the bike. 

ran five miles around town. 

today i did not have alot of time so threw in a quick 3 miler, feel good.

Today I decided that I would like to run some hills and there is no better place then Antelope Island.  Nice and quiet today a few buffalo roaming, but it was a nice run. The trails are beat up from the buffalo and horses so lots of holes in the trail, but if you get up on the sides your good to go.  finished strong.

today got a nice 6 mile run in before the bug football game.  Nice day the weather needs to get a little warmer the wind was blowing a bit but managed to blow right through me.  lol

 I did 7 miles around town, the weather was nice and no smog.   great day for sure.  ran a 43:17.  nice pace feel like I can push harder.  Enjoying the hill surges and speed workout that I started doing once a week, it has really helped me.    

ran a four mile loop around town.  went well maintained a 7:00 pace. 

ran the 5 mile loop around town.

7 miles around town

6 miles at a 6:00 to 6:20 pace.  feel really good.  did a mile warm up and  a mile cool down after. 

well I wanted to run a long run today and started at the causeway on Antelope Island and ran out to the island and ran to buffalo point and around and ran back to the causeway to the start.  Good rain storm along the way and once I reached the Island the sun popped out and it warmed up a bit.  Ran into all my trail running buddies who were running a 23 mile training run on the Island.  Feel good today just a little sore, but a great week for miles.   

six miles around the track with the wife.  ran pretty fast considering the long week i had last week.  Olympics are fun to watch on the TV so had to get back to watch the cross country skiing. 

Well today was a smoggy day for sure alot of bad air out there.  So I decided that the indoor track was going to do today.  Ran 70 times around and held a pretty fast pace around 7:05 most the way.  Had the entire track to myself it was awesome. 

ran in the rain today, did a quick 5 miles around town.

today was a great day nice weather.  Ran a 7 mile loop around town, feel really good I could have went stronger but saving that for the speed work tomorrow.  I love the weather though. 

did 7 miles at 7:30 pace followed by speed work 400's at 3 miles for a total of 10 miles.  did well other then cold coming on.

no miles today rest day I have a bad sinus infection, thought that i better take care of it first.

Today still had the sinus infection, but getting out in the cold helped it a little.  I ran a nice 8 mile run at 7:10 pace and even had the last two miles in at 6:40 pace.  I feel pretty good other then my sinus cold.  I  was amazed with how well I did today.  Ran in shorts and a jacket.  my legs were red and cold at the end, but ok.  It was like 25 with the wind chill.   

Today I ran a nice 7 mile loop around town and held a good 7:40 pace.  I was a little cold today for some reason, oh its probably because the weather is cold all the time.  It really needs to warm up here the wind picks up and it is cold.  After I was finished I went home and did the PX-90 Ab workout.  WOW it was awesome,  I liked the workout and will keep doing it for extra training.      

Today was a day at the track with 6 miles of a nice pace.  Still feel like crap with  the sinus infection. 

today i am stilll battling the sinus cold. yuck  i hate to be sick. 

taking the day off I can not even breath.  Darn cold.

Still feeling sick but on antibiotics so soon back to business.  Might try to get out and ride my bike today.  We will see though

Ok time to get serious, Down with the cold all weekand and feeling much better.  Starting to up the miles for Ogden coming up.   Great day today nice weather and a nice fast 7 miler around town.  Came in at 45:15.  Some up hill and down throughout the course but all in all I am happy with the results.   

six miles around town, it was really nice weather. 

Today ran 5 miles in the rain drops.  It  was warm but nice.  stayed around 7:00 pace. 

Today I ran a 12 mile run and it was nice and warm today.  I feel good held a 7:00 to 7:40 pace throughout the run.   

Today was a speed workout and I ran my butt off.  I ran 7 miles total that were all 800's the fastest I could go sprinting and 400 cool tempo run between.  Yes that is alot of times around a track but it went very well.   

Ran 14 miles today out to Layton along Bluff road and turned around at 7 and ran back with a mile extra of cool down.  What a day it was I was in shorts and a T-shirt and I enjoyed every minute of it.  Lots of people running and enjoying the weather today.  My average pace was 7:10 and best pace 6:15.  Finished strong and will now enjoy the rest of the weekand. 

Today I ran outside and it was a pretty nice day.  Ran 7 mile loop around town and held a 7:10 pace.  All in all a great start to the week. 

5 miles around town outside .  All went well, wanted to run a little faster but today I am feeling the hockey game I played  last Saturday.  That was a work out and I am beat up pretty good. 

Today I was only planning on running 10 miles and decided that 13 would be funner.  It was cold today and I was in shorts.  Wanted to run a little faster but i figured just moving in the cold would be fine.  I ran it in 1:36 with a head wind 6 miles of the way.  Not to bad I guess.   

today was a nice six miles around town.

Today I did speed work intervals at the track.  All 400's with one tempo run in the middle added up to 6 miles.  Nice and fast day

Today I woke up at 4:45 and decided I would pound the pavement early before the storm hit.  I ran through Clinton and up to main street and accross to Ultimate Indoor in West Haven, where my daughter was playing soccer  early this morning.  I was kinda tired from a long week and a little sore after my speed work yesturday.  I did well and ran past the Indoor facility and went to 12th street then turned around and ran back to the soccer game to give me 16 miles.  I ran it in 1:57 so not too bad for me.  I had a little up hill and a little down hill along the course.  Now I am going to enjoy the rest of my weekand and be a veggie.      

Today I ran 7.5 miles in 50:03 I feel really good considering I ran a long run Saturday.  Nice day to run in shorts.  Held a pretty fast pace throughout the run today.  Hope everyone has a great week. 

Today I ran 5 miles around town before I hit the Junior High conditioning for the Track team.  This year I decided to help out with the distant runners.  Should be alot of fun.  Ran a 34:05 today pretty quick today.  I can sure tell my speed work every week has helped my pace.   

Today was a great day outside.  I ran a nice 7 miler was not too fast.  I feel kinda tired today.  I have been trying to run everyday and my early training over the years I had more recovery days, so this running everyday is hopefully helping me out.  I have been told to up the miles and it is good to run everyday, so with that and my speed workouts on Thursdays will help with my time.  Jon hows the mileage look fo me? should I be up more? I am starting my longer runs and have had a couple of weeks that have had two longer runs.  Whats your thought on this.   

Today I forgot that Fridays I do some speed work so I went out and ran 6.5 miles.  finished in 42:03.  Feel pretty good today still a little tired .  Ran in shorts and a long sleeve tech shirt.  Oh warm weather come on. 

Today was speed work day at the track at 7 am.  Ran a nice 2 mile warm up started with 400's as fast as I could go.  I think everyone at the track was like what the heck is this guy doing.  HAHA  I ran pretty well today.  I finished with 5 miles of speed and 2 miles warm up and a nice light jog one mile.   

Woke up early to run a 10 miler.  I had to go to my daughters soccer tournament and she played five games and took second.  I was proud of her accomplishment.  Good job sweetie.  I ran well it was cold today was wearing hat gloves and jacket.  Held a 7:10 pace the entire run.  feel good. 

Ran a nice 8 mile loop today around town.  Knee was a little sore this weekand but I think I will be ok.  I ran today and it feels fine, just was sore Sat and Sun. I dont know if I tweaked it on the track doing my speed work or not.  Those darn curves. Oh well got it done today.  I did not go out fast and I got up to my pace and held it for most the run today.  I wanted to start a little slower in case the knee started to act up,  But we are good so far.      

Today I woke up and wanted to run 10 miles but I finished with 9 miles.  Not that I was tired but I ran a different route and thought it was 10.  Oh well I will throw one extra in tomorrow.  Ran todays run in 1:03 not to bad started slow and worked up to a good pace.  trying to up the miles all week so we will see how it goes.   

Today I ran to Layton a nice out and back totalling 10.27 miles.  I am tired today must be the running every day.  My body feels like its going in slow motion.  I am trying to build my miles up for the week and not really paying attention to what I always do and that is speed.  I am hoping that comes later. lol  Todays pace was pretty good between 7:00 and 7:30 and a 8:00 going up a hill .  What a nice day though. 

Another great day finished 10 miles.  It went well cold and windy today.  Got it done.  Pace at 7:30 most the way a little faster at the end but finished so off to work I go. 

Ran a 7 mile run around town feel good ready for a long run tomorrow.

Today was a long run so I left a little later then I wanted and the wind was horrible.  I could not stay out of the wind.  The wind shifted every time I changed directions it seemed like.  I started and was amazed to see that my first 5k was 19 minutes.  I held a pretty fast pace until the wind picked up, but i managed to lean into it and just enjoy the day.  I can totally tell that running every day has caught up to me.  I am exhausted this week and the miles are looking great.  I finished in 2:07 and I think that time would have been better if there was no wind, but hey you get what you get.    

I ran a great 10.25 miles today.  I like the weather it was cloudy but really nice.  Feel ok after the long week.   

Today was a windy day.  I decided that I should run inside and on  the track.  I did syracuse track and ran 10 miles.  It went pretty good

Tody it was snowing so I went for a nice run in the storm.  10.19 miles around a loop in Clinton and Clearfield.  Wind was horrible with snow flying sideways from the North.  Did well and just wanted to get the miles in.  Pace was around a 7:30 and 8:00 on some up hill.  Glad I dressed warm it was cold.

Well I am a little late in posting my awesome run today.  I decided that I would go all out and try to see where I would be at my best for pace on a half.  Of course I picked a windy day to do it and told myself to just relax and run through it.  I was able to run a out and back and the first five miles was wind in back and nice.  The second was not so good I fealt like I was not getting anywhere.  Well with a  strong head wind I was able to finish in a 108:03 which is by far my best for 10 miles.  And it could have been faster without the wind but I was able to run an amazing 6:10 and 6:15 mile the last two miles.  We will see how the Ogden half goes this weekand ,I signed up today so hopfully a PR for me on the half.  

ran a little before my race

Well I am late for my entry.  I would have to say that I really dont know what happen yesturday.  My time was not even close to what I wanted or predicted.  The weather was horrible, wind and icy roads.  I could really tell that sucking in the head wind was taking alot out of me.  I was feeling pretty good at the beginning and once we got out of the canyon the wind started.  I have never had a side ache before and I got one at mile 8 and I managed to run through it.  I had a little head cold coming on the night before and did not sleep well the night before.  There is alot of things that I can think of that could have caused me to not do so well.   Rest, Head cold, Weather, and I dont know if running two days before at a very fast pace really helped me. I also ran the day before that was pretty slow just to keep my legs moving and loose.   I dont know but its time to wipe this race away and forget about it and move on.  I need to focus for Ogden and not stress over this.  Good job to the 366 runners who came out and ran in the weather.  It definitly was not my favorite day. lol    

Today looked a little wet and windy so I went for a run in it.  Oh I hate the wind.  Ran out to Layton from my home and circled back and met the wife at Jensen Park in syracuse and finished my last two miles with her.  The weather started getting real yucky right when we finished so I am happy.  I did well was not sore from Saturdays run so that is good.  Hope everyone has a great weekand.   

Well today I was not expecting the 5 inches of snow in my driveway.  YUK  In April no less, gotta love Utah.  Well I cleaned the snow off and headed out for my run for the day.  It was cold and windy as usual.  Started out with 2 miles tempo and 8 miles MP.  Did pretty good considering the weather.  Ran a total of 10 miles with a nice cool down of a half mile. 

Today was a nice day I started out with a nice couple miles at tempo and then 8 miles MP and a nice cool down .  Did the loop around Sunset, Clearfield, Clinton.  Started with all uphill for the first two miles and a few bridges to get to main.  All in all it was a fun run and now I am going to catch a movie with the kids since they are out for spring break. 

Today was a very nice day for a run.  I left around the AM time and did the 10 mile loop around several towns.  I was feeling a little slow today but I managed to just keep it at  a nice pace and build up the miles for the week without hurting myself.  My muscles were tired and sore feeling from the effects of the 10 miles a day thing.   But all in all what a great day.  Now off to work for ten hours.   YAY!!!!!!!!!!!   not. 

Today I ran the 10 mile loop with a little extra at the end.  It was an ok day the wind has been horrible, had a nice head wind on the five back but managed to just get into it.  Held a pretty good pace finished at 1:11:05.  Finished the week strong and not injured.  Got my long 20 miler tommorrow looking forward to a nice long run.  enjoy your weekand everyone. 

Ok today is a busy day I needed to do a long run of 20 miles today , or I was scheduled to do one anyway.  I knew that I was working late (graves) last night and had a few soccer games today with the girls before I go to work again today.  My schedule changed at work and I do not get to have those weekands off like I had  (damn).  So I attended the soccer games with a few hours of sleep and when I got home I headed out the door to get a few miles in at least.  I ran my normal 10 mile loop and finished pretty good.  Lots of people out today.  Little windy but all in all a great end of the week total of 60 miles.  I will be running my 20 miler Monday morning since I am off and can get the rest that I need for that run.  Trying to play it a little smart with rest and not just running with no sleep. Even though my miles this week is pretty good.  I can not believe that I managed 10 miles a day all week.  My legs are tired, but that is good.   

Well I needed a long run today and went out the door around 10 am.  I decided that I was not going to do an out and back.  I ran from my home up to main street in Clearfield and headed North 20 miles away.  I passed Smith and Edwards in North Ogden and still needed a mile and a half, so I ran over the dike and out to the North marina of Willard Bay.  Had the wife come pick me up after.  I did pretty good had a little wind today and some nice up hill areas.  Managed to run the 20 in 2:26:03.  I believe with Ogden course having mostly down hill I will be doing pretty good and will hopfully PR .   today was mostly flat and uphill, so we will see how it goes. 

Today I just wanted to move a little after the long run yesturday I was sore.  I was able to get out run a slow 5 miler and I mean slow it was horrible.  I decided that Tuesdays are going to be my rest days instead of Sundays, because of work schedule and moving my long runs to Mondays.

Today was a nice day.  I had to work then I got off and enjoyed a nice 10 mile run out to Jensen Park in Syracuse and back home.  Ran pretty quick and was feeling good.  Started slow with some soreness but it went away after the two miles so held a strong pace throughout the rest of the run.  Lots of people out enjoying the weather.      

Today I ran 10 miles and it was a nice day.  First 3 miles nice and slow and tempo and the last 7 was faster.  

Today I ran from my home down to the trail and accross to Syracuse and back the same way.  Ran into alot of people I knew along the way.  Feel ok I am tired and legs are tired but all in all pretty good. 

Left today with a friend and my wife out the door by 6:50.  Nice morning ran a few miles with them at the beginning.  I left them and ran my pace around a 7:20 to syracuse and turned around at 5 1/2 and ran back to my home at a faster pace then out.  I finished strong on the way back.  I was running back home and caught a glimpse of about 25 runners in front of me and so I worked my way up with them and passed them and they were all the Police Academy students.  I was able to make it to the front of the pack and run with my buddy Heath, who was training the guys.  I then ran home from there.  Nice day and hope everyone else had a great run at Salt Lake Marathon today.

I ran early today, but what a nice day it was.  Ran the out and back usual 10 miler.  feel pretty good.  Ran slow the first two miles and picked it up to 7:30 and had a few 7:10 miles.    

Ok so today is the first day that I went out and said this wind really does suck.  I jumped on the bike and went for a 20 mile bike ride instead.  It was so nice to have a change for a day.  Went golfing 18 holes and mowed the lawn .  Sometimes we have to have a break and do other fun things.    

Only 5 miles today at the Cardiologist Office on the treadmill.  As you can see my week has not been fun at all.  I ended up with high Potassium levels and it made the Blood pressure sky rocket and my heart was doing some funky stuff,   So the last three days have been nothing but tests on the heart.  All is well and the Doctor cleared me for Monday to start running again so we are good.   Well at least its peace of mind that I can run and finish.   

Today I got the clear to run from the Doctor.  Yay!!!!!!!!!Strong Heart and healthy,  I was so excited to get out the door.  After a few days off I wanted to get going.  I started at 1230 pm( because of the late call from the Doc) so it was a little warmer then I wanted but I managed.  I ran the 22 miles out to Centerville/ North Salt lake area from Clinton. I finished in 2:38.  I did feel pretty good but towards the end I was getting tired and slowed down a bit.  The course was all flat and rolling hills especially through Farmington and Kaysville.   I think I am ready and will do well.  I will update you on my visit to the doctor tomorrow about the levels of potassium and why mine got so high.      

Ran a nice 6 miles today around town. 

Today I ran a pretty good 10 miles.  I feel great and got it done early this morning.  Around a 8:00 pace for the first couple miles and held a 7:40 the rest and around 7:00 last two miles.  Stretched and did a little weights and sit ups. 

today i ran on the track and did 9 miles.  It was ok would have been funner outside but good times with some running friends.  Did a little speed work but not much.   

8 miles around town and a nice 10 mile bike ride. 

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. 

ran a nice 5 miler around town

today I ran out to Syracuse pond and back on the trail to 800 North and then up.  Ran into a great friend about the last 2 miles and he joined me for a nice 6:50 pace back home.  He said this is way to fast for me.  I think he was just tired he just finished the Ironman a few weeks ago.     

rode the bike 20 miles 

Today I ran a nice 7 miler around Syracuse and West Point 

Today I met about 20 people at the North Ogden Trail and ran a  nice 10 k with them.  The course was a challenging course with alot of rolling hills.  Managed a 39:15 and I guess it was to be a fun run but I fealt really good and wanted to push the entire way.  Hope they invite me to come back

Ran a 5 miler around town and finished with a 20 mile bike ride.  Who hooo signed up for a Triathlon today.  First one I am excited to start swimming and biking and running.  We will see how it goes.   

Today was a training run for the Wasatch Back.  I woke up at 4:45 left out the door and got up to Pineview Dam and it was getting light.  Weather was awesome so I headed up old snow basin road and ran both legs 11 and 12.  total was around 14 miles of up and down hill running ending at Snow Basin lodge and running back.  It was a great morning and good to get out of the heat and run early.   

today i did two a day 3 milers

running the Wasatch Back today and tomorrow.  188 miles here we come. 

Well our team of newer runners did very well today and yesturday.  I had a nice hot run first up snow basin that was very hot but did very well. Second run was nice in the middle of the night around Rockport and last was the nice down hill from the top of ragnar that goes off the beaten path after two miles and is all trail running from there down the ski resort 7.45 miles.  Nice run and great to get off the pavement and on the trails on the last run.  I flew so fast that I was afraid to slow down or I would hurt myself .  Ran it in 50:12.  Yay lol

First Tri was a blast, I think I would have done better if the course was marked better.  I ran a extra loop on run because I took wrong turn, set me back a few minutes that cost me a medal for a place.  Oh well the Tri was a sprint with swim, bike , run, and repeat swim, bike, run.   Forgot my goggles at the pool on second transition had to run back to transition to get them, so that cut me back a few minutes as well.   Good time though had fun

This was my third TRI this year and I was excited for this one.  The temp was cold after transition from swim to bike, but the swim I did better then I anticipated and the bike was the third fastest time so feel good about that.  The run from transition is something I need to work on after everything else my legs dont have much but I will beat my goal soon and overcome the tiredness if I keep training.  Oh ya plus this stress fracture in my hip that I need to let heal.  I will be ready for TRI season first of the year. 

Race went well as expected.  Great fast 5k course.  Tested out the Cortizone shot that I had in my hip last week and things feel much better.  I had a Interarticular impingment on right side.  Comes with running alot i guess.

Well back at it.  It has been a long road to recovery.  still having lower back issues, hope that goes away quick.  Ran 6 miles pretty slow today, but need to start up again.
