Running Blog for Spencer

Average pace 9:00, windy hot, ran from work, I think the wind helped with the heat, but it was still hot. 

Average Pace 8:23, Ran at JRP nice run light rain 66 degrees. 

I forgot to mention the other day when I ran at the Jordan River Parkway as I came up on the bridge between Winchester park and Waldon park there was a young couple, probably 16,17 years old. As I ran past I heard her saying "I cant live like this anymore I need to know where we stand" . That was less then a half mile into my run so when I came back 55 minutes later they were on a bench near the bridge making out. I guess she found out where they stood. My money is on the boy moving on within a two weeks!

And I today I saw a dog that looked exacly like Scooby Doo, it was way cute.

Average Pace 7:47, Morning run, I was not running race pace but I was not just cruzing either, my 5 k was 24:04 FYI. The run felt really good especally after running in the heat all week.

4th of July, need I say more, I stayed up late the night before got up a 6:00AM to help with the ward 4th of July breakfast. Talked to a few neighbors on the way home, took everyone to Wal-mart so we could get a few supplies for our hike to Timpanogos Cave. Timp was our main family event for the 4th, So I am counting that as my workout today,  in a 1  1/2 mile there is 1063ft accent and then you come back down, I can feel it in my legs that must count for something. 

Just thought I would share our family blog. it makes me happy to be a part of a great family. Notice my Ragnar shirt!

Average pace 8:53, Evening run at the JRP , started at 7:30 PM it was a nice run I was a little worried about finishing diner at 6:30 and running so soon after but it was not a issue that I could tell. 

A ton of people at the Parkway tonight, nothing really cool to report about the run tonight. All is well!

Average pace, 8:45, JRP run, went well. 

Average Pace 8:44, at the JRP. The run was great, I am in need of new shoes soon, well now. I am really watching what I am eating, making sure my intake is enough but not over doing it. I have hovered around 156 pounds since April and I know I could loose 5 - 10 pounds, though I am not making loosing weight my priority. 

Average pace 8:58, ran at JRP. I felt good as I finished the run. Now on to me busy Saturday. 

My wife decided I was going to be her trainer, she does not like to run, actually that is an understatement, she dislikes running is more like it. This was really out of the blue, So I am glad to run with her, I just need to work out how to help her and do my running as well.

Tonight we ran one mile together then I showed her how to stretch and cool down. It took us 13 plus minutes for one mile. Then after we were finished stretching I went running and did another 8 miles. Without doing a bunch of math I probably averaged 8:35 pace. 

Started my run with my wife, then ran 5 miles on my own. 

We will be seeing the 12:10 AM showing of Harry Potter as a family, So I am going to bed to catch a snooz before the movie. 

Average Pace 8:58, Ran in the heat, going to the temple tonight. 

Average Pace 8:53, Neighborhood run. 

Wednesday's run was a mid day run and was very hot I think I my self out of water. I took Thursday off.

Average Pace 8:45, Ran at the JRP. Started late I needed the sleep. I managed my water intake and heat really well today. 

I am headed to get new shoes today.  YEA!!!! Long overdue. 

Arundrea's birthday yesterday. We went and saw Harry Potter again. 6 miles tonight around the Kearns Ice skating rink. The nice thing is the cool temp in there, the bad thing is running in circles. 

Average pace 7:51,  Wa Hoo These are fast shoes !

Average pace 8:10, JRP late run mostly in the dark. I had my little ragnar running light, it worked great. 

Average pace 8:52, early morning run, with the late night run last night I thought I was running ragnar again. run went well I am glad to beat the heat today and have the run over. Now on to family fun ! 

Average Pace 8:58, Ran at JRP with Ken, started 6:50 AM nice cloud cover this morning, really humid though. Feeling great, I am ready to extend my distance a few miles. This next week is a recovery week then on to some more miles. St. George is coming up fast.

Now on to fixing the washing machine, not to big of a deal if I can get my hands on the correct part. 

Ran at The Oval, Ran for 56 mins which I figure is a little over 7 miles.

Looks like the US Speed skating folks are practicing again, pretty cool to watch. 

Average pace 7:34, neighborhood run.

Average pace 8:10, Ran at the JRP , Evening run, nice temp tonight. The bugs were out I had to stop and get a gnat out of my eye, and toward the end of the run I sucked something into my mouth, it went out faster then it when in though. 

I came home from work, buzzed the dog, washed the dog, cleaned the tub and swept and vaccumed the floor, I needed to get all the dog hair up. Then got dinner going, believe it or not all  6 of us were here toinght for dinner. Cleaned up dinner then got my running gear on and went running. now it is 9:40 and I am about to get a shower and go to bed.  What a day.

Average Pace 8:10 same as my 9 mile run last night. It was a little warmer tonight and I ate not 1 but 2 of Ashtyn's chocolate  chip cookies when I got home from work. So tonight's 6 mile run was a struggle most all the way. 

Average Pace: 8:24, better run today even though I started my run at 4:45 PM and about 90 degrees. I am fighting the first sings of a cold too, so far I am winning.
