Dee's running blog

Ran with Todd and Ben from Albertsons down to Cafe Rio.  Had a nice fairly easy run. Had an 8:36 pace for the run. 

I ran from Peak Performance up the Ogden River towards Rainbow Gardens and then turned after 2 1/4 and went back.  Legs were pretty sore today.  Stayed at a comfortable nine minute pace the entire run. 

Todd, Ben and I left Albertsons in S. Ogden and went down to the Article Circle and then down Chambers to Burch Creek and then down Adams to 41st.  Went up to Madison and then to Monroe to Glasmann and once we hit Chambers back to Albertsons.  The first three miles was down hill and the last three was up.  I had some soreness that I think is the result of my increase in mileage. 

Easy run in the neighborhood.  A lot of small rolling hills stayed in the 8:45 to 9:00 minute range.  Wanted to keep my legs loose for tomorrow's long run.

Ran Monte with Quinton, Todd, Brian and Melinda.  We started at the snowmobile parking lot and ran down to the Chevron in Huntsville.  Covered the first 7 miles of the Ogden Marathon towards the end.  Had an 8:37 average for the run.  Felt good for the first 16.  Really bogged down the last mile and a half.

Ran out by the Weber County fairgrounds while my son practiced baseball in sandlot.  It was cold and the roads were very icy.  That combined with some very sore legs from Saturday's run made for a slow methodical run. 

Met up with Todd and Shane and we ran from Albertsons. Did the Combe loop backwards, then went to Old Post down to 4800.  Crossed Harrison and went over to Glasmann.  Took Glasmann to the Artic Circle and then back to Albertsons parking lot.  Legs are still pretty sore.  I let Todd and Shane go after about three miles.  Stayed in the 8:15 range most of the run.  The Glasmann hill really took it out of me though.  Finished mile 7 with an 8:10.  A good run overall. I'm feeling like my soleus problems are behind me.   

Did my neighborhood loop to get my legs loosened up.  Still very sore.  Then went up to Nate and got a massage.  Legs feel much better after the massage.

Ran with Todd and Ben.  We left my house and traveled up Jefferson, then went up Burch Creek to Chambers and took chambers up to St. Joes.  Crossed Washington and went down through S. Ogden, past Friendship, the Armory and into the Terrace.  Did the full Terrace loop, crossed Washington at Hilltop and back to my house.  The first two miles were pretty signigican uphill.  We pushed the pace the last three miles and I was down in the 7:30 range.  Had an average of 8:30 for the run.  First run in a new pair of Kayano.  Felt good.

I ran from Peak Performance up the Ogden Ri ver trail to Rainbow Gardens and back.   

I ran on a paved trail near Snow Canyon Hish School.  Went up two miles and back while my son warmed up by a baseball game.

Ran in and around Brunkerville Nevada.  It was 89 degrees when I ran in between baseball games.  I'm definitely not use to that kind of heat.  Very suffocating.

Ran in Leeds.  Left the house we were staying in and ran up North on Main Street until it turned into a frontage road that parallels I-15.  Nice, fairly scenic run.  Turned around after 3 and ran  back. 

Ran with Todd, Ben and Mike.  We did the toll road loop.  A pretty difficult run.  Took it easy the first few miles, picked up the pace until the big hill up Combe and then finished with the last mile under 8.  Felt surprisingly strong the last mile after a ridiculous climb. 

I hurt my knee playing dunk ball over the weekend and then really aggravated it on Monday's run.  I've been hobbling ever since so I got on the treadmill with the intent to get some easy miles in.  I ended up only doing two slow miles due to the pain.  I've just been getting back to running fairly strong.  Hopefully this won't be too major of a setback.

Met up with Todd at Albertsons.  We did a run we call Bernies.  I intended to get 6 in but cut it short due to pain in my lower knee.  I don't think it's anything structural, maybe a bruise, but there's a pretty sharp pain with every step.  I couldn't keep up with Todd so I sent him and hobbled through the run.

I met up with Mike for lunch at Peak Performance and we ran the river trail up to Rainbow Gardens and back to Peak.  The knee was sore the first couple of miles but loosened up and felt much better towards the end. 

Ran in the nieghborhood in between a visit to the accountant and the first soccer game of the year. Had some soleus pain which is a bit of concern since it's been pain free for almost teo months now.

I left my house at 7:30 and it was 51 degrees.  Met up with Melinda, Ben and Todd and we drove to Farmington to run the Legacy Highway trail.  The wind picked up on the way down and was really blowing by the time we started.  Mike met us there on his bike.  Started the run with the wind at our back.  The plan was to go 18 miles.  At about mile 5 it started snowing.  Not too bad since the wind was at our back.  After the turn around at mile 9 the snow was coming full force into my face. Just had to duck the head and keep running.  Mike had his cell phone and had called his wife to come get him.  They stopped at one of the over passess and Ben and I caught a ride back to Farmington.  Todd and Melinda kept going and we picked them up after 15. 

Ben and I ran from Albertsons in S. Ogden.  Did Combe loop backwards and then took Old Post to the football stadium and back to Albertsons.  Had just under a 9 minute pace for the run.  Ran a 7:50 tenth mile.  Felt pretty strong through out.
