4 miles today in about 30 minutes.

Very slow 4 mile run in approximately 40 minutes. Had a beautiful view looking out over Salt Lake City.

4 miles very easy. 

One of these days I am going to have to start doing more than just easy runs. 

Over the last 18 months I gained 30 pounds. I have in the last couple of months lost about 15 pounds of that, but I want to lose more before I start doing anything really hard.

4 miles mostly easy with some fast portions mixed in.

5 miles @ 7:30/mile pace.  I was a cold morning.

Warm up jog

4 x 1000m at a fast pace with 200m jogging in between. (distances were not exact.  I estimated them.)

All running was done on the road.  I wish there were a track nearby that I could use. I know that there is a high school not too far from where I am living, but I don't know if I am allowed to use the track.

Cool down jog.

5 easy miles.

5 miles at a moderate pace.

A new friend that I have met here is taking me to lunch today at a place in Salt Lake City called Chuckorama. It is a buffet restaurant. I am looking forward to it, but am afraid I might eat too much. :(

5 easy miles @ 8:30/mile

Warm up run.

12 x 200m sprints with 200m walking in between.

Cool down run.

Ran up City Creek Canyon in Salt Lake City this morning. It was the first time in such a long time. It brought back some really good memories. The river was flowing very fast today. I didn't see any animals, but I did see many (about 8) perigrine falcons. I love this run. I definitely need to do it more often. It is my favorite run of all time. My thigh muscles are sore now.

Did 2 miles very easy and then 3 miles at a fast pace.

5 miles at a very easy pace.  I don't know why, but I am really having a hard time running at a fast pace and maintaining it.

5 miles at a moderate pace.  A friend of mine has been trying to teach me how to golf. He took me to a practice range today and we hit a bunch of golf balls.....Hmmm  not really sure if I am suited for golf.

5 miles very easy.

Ran 5 easy miles today.  I have really been having trouble connecting to the FRB.  I keep getting a message that it is an unsafe site and that the Certification is unvalid.  Don't really understand all of that, but I am tired of fighting it, so I probably won't be visiting this site much from now on.

About 8 miles. Ran from my house to the entrance of City Creek Canyon.  Then ran to the 1.5 mile mark and back down. I was 3 minutes faster this week than last. Also felt much easier and I did not get sore today.

There was a lot of water in the river today and I enjoyed listening to the river flow as I ran up the canyon.

Yesterday I had a lot of trouble getting on to the FRB, but seems to be okay today.

6 miles at an easy 9 min/mile pace.  I am not sure why whenever I go above this pace, I start having trouble breathing.

5 easy miles. 

Went golfing with my friend. I think I have improved a little. I think I know which end of the club to hold now....　:)

5 miles at 9:00/mile pace.

I mowed a lawn today for the first time in my life. I don't think it is my favorite thing to do.

5 at an easy pace.  One of these days I need to start increasing the intensity of my runs.

Ran from my home to City Creek Canyon and then ran the canyon. I got caught in a rainstorm, but it was fun running the canyon in the rain.

I usually have been running City Creek on Saturdays, but there is a race there tomorrow, so I ran it today instead.

3 miles at a vey easy pace. I have decided that starting in June I will step up my training.

Warm up run from my house to the mouth of City Creek Canyon.

Ran to the 1.5 mile mark in the canyon and back down. 12 minutes up, 9 minutes down for about 21 minutes.

Cool down run back home.

5 miles easy.

Played golf this morning. I am getting better.

8 Miles. A mix of moderate and easy.

I am going to mow the lawn now.  That has to be equivalent to a couple of miles. :)
