Today was a great run.  I only planned to run about three, but I felt so good.  I decided to go a little further.  I still wanted to keeping going, but I had other things that I had to do.

Another great run.  I ran in the fieldhouse again today out of convenience.  Can't wait to consistently run outside.

I had a great run today. I planned to take it easy and do two miles, but i was having too much fun to quit.

Great run today.  I actually did a pretty quick pace overall.  I averaged 8:40/mile today.  I probably pushed it a little quicker than I should have, but I wanted to see what I could do.

Today was a great run.  I really didn't feel very good this morning and I only intended to run about three miles.  The first mile was terrible, but after that I couldn't stop.  I still had plenty of gas in the tank when I got done, but I had a lot of other things that I have to get done today.

Tough run today.  I was a little sore from yesterday, and I hadn't eaten in a long time.  Overall a good run though.

A little bit of speed work today.  I ran mile splits and then walked a bit.  My first mile was 8:43, the second was 8:28.

My first 18 mile week.  I wanted it to be twenty, but I ran short on time.  Today's run was great.  I kept a good pace of around  8:30/mile.  I like this faster pace, it is a lot more gratifying than running 10s.

Nice run today.  My foot is really hurting though, so I probably will end up backing off tomorrow.

I really had a nice run today.  I started off planning to go for around three miles, but once I got there I decided to go more.  I eventually ended up at 5.25 and decided I'd better call it before I got hurt.  

 It was a great fun though.  I feel awesome and can't wait to go again.

 On another note, my registration papers for the Top of Utah Marathon have officially been processed.  Bring it on.

Quick paced run today.  I didn't want to get too much distance after yesterday.  My mile splits were around 8:20/mile.

Today I really didn't want to run, and the first two miles was absolute torture.  After that it was great.  I had a great run and I feel awesome afterwards.

Today I felt terrible.  I started to run and got to about two blocks from my house before I about lost it.  I decided to take a day off since I obviously wasn't up to par.  I slept for a good portion of the afternoon.

Much better run today.  I started off running a quick 1 mile warmup then did a little weight training.  After I got done with the weights, I ran another 3.4 miles.  My pace was around 8:34/mile which is pretty nice.  I'd like to see it get down to 8:00 for the marathon, but we'll see.

Today's run was a little tough.  I'm very sore from yesterday's weight training and running.  I really want to go home and do an ice bath and down some Motrin.  I got some good mileage though, so that is great.
