| 5 miles with Gina after running about 1 mile to meet. I did an additional 6 afterwards at about 9:30 pace, very easy. 2:05 overall for 12. Hip and back much better until I push it very fast. Still need to take things easy, but slow pace seems to work okay. | | Add Comment |

| 6+ miles tonight at 6:00 p.m. Warmer than we expected. 4+ miles with Gina. Took the Middle Canyon out and back. She's getting stronger on the moderate uphills each week. We'll focus on hills once a week. | | Add Comment |

| 5 "fast" miles doesn't mean the same as a few weeks ago, but relatively fast for what I've been doing lately. Felt good. 5+ miles on the Provo River Trail between Nunn's Park and Vivian Park and back. Nice, pleasant day. No rain today, but probably not so lucky tomorrow or next week. Utah Valley Marathon tomorrow for some. Good luck to Marion and others who may be doing it. | | Comments(3) |

| 12 miles at 9:00 a.m. Very easy running wtih Gina and Matt2. Gina's fist 6 miler, wtih major improvement on pace over last weeks 5 miler. I am really proud of her. I did another 2.5 with Matt and the rest by myself. Feeling pretty good, but running pretty slow. But, I'm just happy to be back at it. | | Add Comment |

| 6 1/4 miles tonight. 4 with Gina, she did better, but some knee problems in the last 1/2 mile. Cooler weather helped. Hopefully a day off for her tomorrow will too. Light rain towards the end of the run. Solo tomorrow night. | | Add Comment |

Settlement Canyon up to amphitheater and back. 10:00 minute miles going up. Close to 8:00's last two coming back. Not a good idea. I think it's the hard downhills that is causing me grief. Need to get back running slow easy ones with Gina tomorrow night. | | Add Comment |

| 5 miles at 5:10 a.m. in 47:58. Ran easy and alone. A bit sluggish but otherwise okay. 12 miler tomorrow, at least 6 with Gina. Matt2 should be there as well. Then were heading to Idaho Falls. | | Comments(1) |

| 13.4 miles today. Light rain in places. Gina made 6.4. I'm really proud of her. She was strong at the end, but the cooler temperatures helped. Saw Liz at the golf course, she thought Gina was Tina. I guess they do look alike at a distance. Nice effort today. Very easy except pushed last mile around 8 min pace. Ragnar team is just finishing. Tina is running the last leg right now. | | Add Comment |

6 miles easy. Gina did 4 miles and did great! She even wanted to do the lower hill with a second repeat. I couldn't believe how strong she was. She's doing well and building up a good base towards TOU 1/2.

| 4 miles very easy. 3 at the track with Gina. 1/2 mile to and from. Nice morning. 5:15 a.m. Repeating it tomorrow. I either start two-a-days tomorrow or I will do a trail run with Tina on Sunday morning. Feeling pretty good right now, except for first thing out of bed in the mornings. | | Comments(2) |

3 miles with Gina at the track this morning at 5:15 a.m. 1/2 mile to and from plus another 2 up to the base of the dam and back along the old canyon road. Not feeling the best this morning so I took it really easy the entire run. Still....it's good to be back running steady.
Evening run: 3 miles total. Started my first Yasso 800's this year. Did better than expected 2 x 800 in 3:28 and 3:27 with 400 recovery after each. 1/2 mile down and back from track. I need to be careful with these, but they didn't seem to bother me as much as running on the downhills have been. We'll se how they go. | | Comments(3) |

| 5 easy miles for a recovery run from last night at the track. 5:10 a.m. solo this morning. Nice temperatures and daylight at the end of the run. 6 miles tomorrow morning before meeting Gina and Matt2. Then another 8. Start building for SGM. | | Add Comment |

| 6 a.m. run. Extremely nice weather today! Did 6 miles before meeting up with Gina and Matt2. Gina made 8 miles this morning. I thought she was struggling to finish the 7 that was scheduled and then she said she wanted to do one more. I was totally amazed. She's doing well. I made 14 miles slow and easy and then had to quickly shower and jump in the car to go up to Farr West. I'm feeling it now. 5K next Saturday will be a nice change from the long miles for the weekend. | | Add Comment |

| 5 slow miles with Gina. Forgot my Garmin, so we had to estimate how far we went. She wanted to do an extra mile from what was on the schedule. I think that is a good sign. She is doing very well, but we wilted a bit with the humidity. It felt like it wanted to rain, but didn't. It would have been a welcome relief. 5 miler in the morning. | | Add Comment |
