PM 3 miles on the JRP I have a half marathon in a couple of weeks. I guess I ought to try to get ready for it. Running was difficult, but the lower body workout this morning contributed. Shins are still tight. I don't know about this. Strava |

| Core workout. 30 min on stationary bike at 90+ rpm. HR around 160 and then dropping to low 150's. I am really sore from yesterday. | | Comments(2) |

| Upper body workout. 3 miles slow around the neighborhood. I felt a lot better running today. Of course, I wasn't pushing it at all. Just ran at recovery pace. I felt like I could just keep going when I was done--which is good because I need to up the mileage tomorrow. I'm thinking about 6. Maybe 8? I have a 1/2 in two weeks so I need to do something significant. I think I'm going to stay at the easy pace until the race and then just see what happens. |

Did an easy four mile loop twice. I didn't really want to do the crazy hills on my normal 8 mile route so I kept it close to home. Plus, the loop gave me the ability to drop the mileage if I wasn't feeling good. I did feel good, though. It was good to run some distance. I felt better about doing the half in two weeks. It would have been tough today. I know I could have done one more loop, but it would have been difficult and I don't think I'd feel very good after. A couple of weeks of training ought to make a big difference, though. Strava |

| Easy three. Felt pretty good today. The 8 miles really made a difference. I actually was running at a faster pace. That might not be good, but I just ran at the pace that felt good today. I probably should back off that pace a bit. Strava |

| 60 minutes on a stationary bike. Had to push hard to get my heart rate up. It was difficult to maintain 90 rpm at the higher level. Hamstrings were sore at the end. Biking is so much easier than running. | | Add Comment |

| Last long run before the half. I felt good about being able to do 3 more, but I was super slow today. The encouraging part was that I was able to run harder the last three miles. I ran with my heart rate monitor for the first time in a long time. When I first put it on, I was getting rates in the high 160's. I hadn't even started running yet. There was obviously something wrong with it so I just ignored it. Strava |

| The 10 miler was good, but my shins are flaring up. I wore compression sleeves all day yesterday and overnight. (I have some new non-streched-out ones on order.) I decided I can best prepare for the half Saturday by not running. I might do 3 miles slooooow Wednesday. So I did my intense lower body workout today and then 30 minutes of stationary bike. | | Add Comment |

| Stacie was out running this morning and I was on my way out when my 3-year-old daughter came out of her room and told me she was hungry. So I stayed home with her. I ended up running to the gym at night after a meeting at the school and doing 30 minutes on a bike before they closed. | | Add Comment |

| Did the upper body workout I was going to do yesterday and then did 30 minutes easy on a bike. This half marathon is going to be interesting Saturday. | | Add Comment |

This was a fun but difficult race. This was my slowest half marathon which could be expected because it was run in a loop instead of down Provo Canyon, but it had more to do with my physical condition. If you are reading this, you can easily check my recent running history and see how unprepared I was for this race. To summarize how I got here: I signed up for the Utah Valley Marathon in October. In November, my right hamstring started to hurt right at the top where it attaches. In December I decided to stop running for a while and see if it went away. I did a lot of stationary cycling and weight training to stay in shape. It didn't go away. I started running again in February to see if the marathon was still possible. It started getting better. My schedule called for a half marathon this weekend so I signed up for this one. In March, my shins started hurting. So, I stopped running again knowing that the marathon was out, but I figured I could still do this half. The course was fun. I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure what to expect for a time, but was pretty sure 2 hours was out of the question. I really had no goals other than to finish and to line up and see what happened. I ran this as well as I possibly could have, so while my time wasn't great, I am very happy with my performance. If someone had told me that I would come in under 2:05 at the start of the race, I would not have believed it. Details

| Lower body workout. Calves still sore from the half Saturday. I'm going to take some time off from running and then ease back into it. | | Add Comment |
