Dee's running blog

Met up with Todd and Ben.  Did an easy recovery run from the Albertson's in South Ogden to the Weber State football stadium and back.  Soleus started cramping on the way back.  Not good.

I ran with Ben, Todd and Shane.  We left Albertsons and went through South Ogden past the armory to the toll road.  Pushed the pace a little to the toll road.  Dropped down the toll road and then turned around and went back up the toll road.  A full mile of straight uphill.  It was the second time we've run the toll road in the last five days.  That's two times too many.

I ran up In Island Park through Centennial Shores. It was snowing and there were a couple of fresh inches on the snowpacked roads. Very beautiful run with the reservoir as a backdrop.

Nice easy run through Centennial Shores in Island Park. 

This was suppose to be an easy run.  Instead, we left Todd's house crossed and went through South Ogden, made our way down to Hilltop and then came back up through Burch Creek Hollow and some steep road I'd never been one.  Went over to Glasmann and ran Glasmann and then back to Todds.  Some fairly significant hill work. 

Ran with Todd from  Albertsons down to Old Post, up to Skyline and then over to Woodland, to Combe and then Eastwood back to Albertsons.  A good run, with some real significant climbs.  took it fairly easy with an 8:59 pace for the run.

This was one of those runs I'll remember years from now.  It was snowing very hard.  We contemplated not going but then figured we may as well get it over with.  Left Albertsons and went down Eastwood to Combe and then up Woodland.  Steep climb.  Followed Woodland over to Shadown Valley and Skyline.  Continued over to the Dee Events Center and then to the stadium. Continued along the east bench to 20th Street.   Dropped down 20th to Grant and ended at Peak Performance.  Very wet and slippery run.  The roads were packed.  I was soaked by the time we got done and had icycles hanging off my hat.  Glad we did it though.

Nice easy run from Albertsons to my house through S. Ogden, around by Friendship and then down Burch Creek. Legs a little sore after yesterday's run through the blizzard.

It's two steps forward and one step back again.  After several pain free runs, it was back. I planned on running 6 and cut it short after it took me 41 minutes to hobble 4 miles. Maybe it's time to go back to the Nimbus.

Ran with Todd, Ben and Shane.  We left Albertsons and went down through S. Ogden and the Terrace to Cafe Rio on Riverdale Road.  After Monday's lousy run I decided to go back to the Nimbus.  Bad mistake.  My right calf seized up at 2 and a half miles.  I basically hobbled the rest of the way.  It looks like I'm done running in the Nimbus.

Ran with Ben, Todd and Mike.  Left Albertsons and went down Eastwood to Combe and then down to 89 crossed into lower Uintah.  Went West to South Weber Drive and followed that to Riverdale.  Took river drive, crossed Riverdale road and then ran to 31st. Street.  From there went to Grant and then to Peak Performance.  I felt surprisingly strong today.  The last two miles were a bit of a struggle, but I fell in behind Todd and tried to keep up.  We were knocking out 8:10-8:15 miles over the last 4. 

I met up with Todd and Ben up at the football stadium at Weber State.  We went across the top of campus and up into Forest Green and over to Shadow Valley.  The first two miles we pulled a lot of hills.  Topped out in Shadow Valley and then made our way down to Old Post and then back to the stadium. 

Did a pretty good hill workout with Todd and Ben.  Started at Albertson's, went through Shadow Valley, up to the top and then came across Woodland into upper Uintah.  Took Woodland all the way to Combe and then down to Uintah Elementary, around the school and took the long way back.  First three and half miles was up hill the last three were down and flat. I'm starting to feel much stronger.  I'm going to cross my fingers that I'm back to full strength. 

Ran the Ogden river parkway with Mike. We left Peak Performance and went up two miles towards Rainbow Gardens and then back.

Met up with Todd, Ben, Mike, Shane and Melinda.  We went to the Frontrunner station in Farmington and then ran an out and back on the Legacy trail.  It was the first time I'd run that trail.  Not bad.  Basically flat and no traffic to avoid.  Stayed in a comfortable 9 minute pace for most of the run.  Dropped down to the 8:30 range for the last three miles with my last one being an 8:20.
