Been feeling good and strong. Slowly building my mileage up and then we will see what we can do.

| PM: 5 miles + core H
Today was one of those days that seems to appear every once in a while. A day where you can't seem to escape work and then come home to another set of chores and problems to solve. It was just one of those days that seemed like I never got to sit down and the run kept getting pushed back until it was late at night and time for bed. But I'm sick of those days impeding my progress.
Ran 5 miles at 11:17pm. Put on some running tights and a headlamp then headed for the streets. Still building mileage and strength so the average pace was 8:41 per mile. Afterwards did Jay Johnson's core H routine, stretched, and now it's off to bed.

Ran today with the fiance. She's been running with me lately and has actually be improving a lot. Kept a pretty steady pace and ran an 8:51 average mile.
Been listening to a lot of Jay Johnson's running podcasts and really love what I've learned so far about running.

Ran around the Provo Airport with Lauren. Averaged an 8:51 mile again. Been feeling really good lately and my legs have been awesome. Glad to see the work pay off. Gonna do some core and stretching later tonight.

| 8:02 am: Utah Human Race 10K
Ran the Human Race today with Lauren. We ran the first 2 miles with the future mother-in-law and then broke off to run the reset. We averaged an average 9:00 min pace which was good considering we were running 10:50 pace for the first couple of miles.
The course was fun. It was just the Sandy fourth of July race course, but backwards so it was pretty familiar. Can't wait for the rest of the day. Got 2 turkey dinners planned and some football games to watch.
Best holiday ever!

First day of snow in Utah. Ran around Orem for miles by myself, averaging an 8:04 mile. Not too shabby.
I want to start recording a deeper anaylsis/self reflection of my runs here. I'm trying to come up with some questions I can ask myself both during and after my run. Hoping to create something that will help give me a clear and concise analysis of what I'm doing everyday.
Core and stretching tonight before bed

Couldn't have asked for a better run. Temperature was below freezing, but to be honest I couldn't tell. Was just able to enjoy my 7 miles around the Best Buy loop. Lungs and legs felt great and have been this entire week. In fact, this is the first week I have ran 30+ miles completely pain free in a long long time. Couldn't be happier. Can't wait to continue building and get stronger.
Did some stretching before bed.

This past weekend I did some research on warm ups and drills. Specifically which ones to do, what is better than others, why you should do these drills, etc. Came upon a dynamic warm up video (written by Jeff Boelé) on Coach Jay Johnson's youtube channel that I really liked and decided to try it out.
After the warm up I ran 5 miles averaging an 8:32 mile. Felt super good right off the bat (I'm thinking it was because of the warm up) and was able to hit some pretty hard hills. Had a total of 661 ft in elevation gain. By my turn around point, I was pretty winded, but was able to hit the downhill and recover.
After the run did 2 X 100 M striders on the road. Felt good to get in a short sprint. Haven't gone that fast in a while.

Did the dynamic warm up again before running a quick 5 miles. It felt oddly wamr today for there to be snow. Anyway I felt really good on my run and was able to average a 7:59 mile. I'm really liking this new warm up, unless I find a reason not too I think I keep it. 3X 100 m striders after the run.
Later lifted some weights with Lauren and then did some stretching before bed.

| PM: 6 miles + core h
Ran in the gully today. Every time I run there I always miss it more when I leave. I was racing the sunset (and it was getting really cold) so I didn't have time for the whole warm up. After a few drills and small stretches I went into it.
I swear as soon as I dropped into the gully it dropped 10 degrees. Just after the second mile, I ran into a group of coyotes that were yipping and howling. They were only about 20 feet from me so naturally I stoped running to start howling with them. Was pretty fun hahaha. Then got back on the trail and averaged an 8:16 mile. The trail was kinda snowing, but nothing too bad.
Later in the night I went to my future brother-in-law's wrestling match and ran into my high school running coach. It was nice to talk to him again and catch up.
Did core h and some stretching before bed.
