Got out late this morning and was a little tired after pushing it last night. So I only went 5.

Decent run. Decided to do tens in the morning a couple of days a week. Ran the middle 5 with a friend at about an 8 min pace. Ran there and back in the 7:30s.

Wanted to do a 5k run last night but got stuck in a silly homeowner's association meeting. Did 7 in the rain this morning. Long run tomorrow.

Second-to-last Utah Valley long run. Not bad. Kept the pace in the 7:40s until the last mile. Started to fade after mile 18.

Broke a new 5k record for me. Finished in 19:49, but I have mixed feelings about it. I stopped less than a half-mile in because I was caughing up  blood. I decided to go on with the run and turned in a great time (for me) but I'm still a little freaked out about it. I hope it doesn't come back.

Ran 6 of the miles with Mark. Finally broke out the new shoes.Maybe I should run with the old ones a couple more times so I can retire them at 1,200 miles.

Almost didn't run tonight. Been really tired lately but couldn't handle the guilt so I ran, but not very fast.

Daughter had a Rugby game at BSU and needed to be there two hours early so I dropped her off and went for a run on the greenbelt. Took a path on the side of the river I hadn't run on before. Good run through the trees.

And her team won.

Final Utah Valley Marathon long run. Would have liked to have a better pace, but pretty satisfied. Got the pace down below 8 for the final two miles, so that was encouraging. I like doing Friday evening long runs, but they can be tough depending on eating, etc. during the day.

Ran 8 miles alone then finished running with my wife. She wanted to get in half-marathon mileage. The fast 8 went pretty well. Started out pretty slow but sped up each mile with the last at 7:01 pace.

Ran with Mark this morning. Drove over to keep the mileage down today. I'm going to try to do a real taper this time. I'll do 5-7 a day this week. 5 a day next week in California and then 3 or less each day of race week.

When I started out there was a little bit of lightening flashing on the horizon. Then, about a mile and a half in, the lightening was flashing above me. Then at about three miles it started pouring rain. What could I do but keep running? I felt like Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump. "You call this a storm?!"
