Ran Fartleks with my running class. We would sprint at about 90% for a minute and then would jog for a minute. Total I ran about 1 mile warming up and 2 miles running the fartleks. Ran 15 min doing fartleks AVG hr: 180 MAX hr: 191 CAL: 223.

After school I went and helped Ryan for an hour or so with his house. An then went home and studied. I was too tired to go swimming or biking after helping Ryan tear out the concrete in his driveway.

Broc the rock, our little stud, took second overall in his second race ever running 400 meters. He rocked! I am soooo proud of him. He started off fast and was able to keep his lead for the entire race. There were about 30 little kids all with ages between 3-4 running with him.

I ran a new personal best. The course was only 3.01 miles so I had to adjust my time. I ran 21:45 total for the 3.01 miler which equals a 22:21 5k. I came in 5th overall for the males and 3rd in my age group. The course was downhill so I will keep my goal of 22:30 for the next race.

Tammy ran with Broc in the stroller and pulled out a 25 minute 5k.

Merri took 2nd overall for the women and 4th overall for the entire race.

Race Pace: 7:13

Today, I pretty much studied math from 11am until about 7:30pm and I am still am not done with my lesson. It is taking a while for my brain to kick into gear.

I did a brick workout today for training. I biked about 12 miles in 35 minutes (HR avg: 175-180) and then ran a ghetto slow 5k in 28 minutes (HR avg 180 max 187). I ate a large dinner about 30 minutes before working out which was a very bad idea. I was about to chuck the whole time running so I shortened my run to just a 5k. I really wanted to get in 7 miles today but, oh well.

I need to kick it into a higher gear so I can be ready for the St. George Triathlon. I am starting to get nervous which is a good sign because It shows I still care about the race. I want to get under 3:00 hours this time which is definitely doable if I have a decent day.

If you read this please comment. I don’t care what you say just show me that you are reading it and I will forever love you. I always appreciate the little comments I do get.

No running today to save my legs for the mile run tomorrow. Looking to get in the low six’s. Swam a fast 1/2 mile in the pool and did some 50 meter swim sprints. Consistently swimming the 50s in 35 seconds. Worked out the biceps and neck.

Started Spring term at BYU. Hope I can find the time to work full-time, go to school, train for triathlons and take care of the family.

Medium Run 5k on course 1. Time:24:05 – Cal: 358 – HR avg: 180 – HR max: 195 - Rate:8 – Pace: 7:46

After a week of being sick I am finally getting back onto my training routine. I ran a medium pace 5k and my legs felt wobbly and heavy. I felt good the first 2 miles but the last mile and change was a little tougher. It is getting pretty hot out… or at least hotter than usual.

I was able to get a decent swim in. 36 laps at about a 2 minute 100 pace. It has been almost a month since I swam and I could totally tell. I felt slow in the water and my form was off. I need to turn it up a notch to get ready for the SGTRI.

Worked chest and tricepts on the weights.
