My foot that had a bunionectomy on it was hurting pretty bad. I think it's just got some fluid built up in it from being on my feet all day and then running after that. I'll elevate it tonight and hopefully it'll be better tomorrow.

Today I walked one mile ran 2 miles then walked a mile. My total time was 51:16. It felt good. This week should be interesting because I'm working 5 of the next 7 days and it's always hard to get a workout in when I work 13 hour days, but I just have to be disciplined with myself and get it done.

Today I walked a half mile, ran a mile, then walked a half mile. My total time was 25:29. I did my run to the gym and then lifted weights and stretched at the gym.

This morning I ran two miles. My total time was 20:50. My shin only hurt a little bit. I'm icing it now. I work the next three days so I'm going to take tomorrow off, and then I'll run again on wednesday. Hopefully, a day of recovery will help my shin.

I ran 4 miles with my Dad after work tonight. My time was 41:11. It was nice to run with someone, it definitely makes the run go by faster and I got my long run for the week done which is nice.

Today I ran 3 miles. It felt good and my total time was 30:09.  After my workout I did 3x 15 sit-up and 3x10 push-ups.

My original plan for the week was to run 15 miles and walk 5, and then next week run 20. I'm having a hard time motivating myself to do my workouts on the days where I'm going to walk because it takes so much more time, so I'm going to skip the walking and just get the 15 miles of running in. I don't know that the walking is benefiting me much anyway now that I'm able to run 2-3 miles each day.

Today I ran 3 miles in 29:49. The course I ran was pretty hilly too. After my run I did some stretching then 3x15 crunches, 3x10 push-ups and 3x10 leg lifts.

Tonight I ran 2 miles, and I took Aurora with me. She was really excited, so the first mile was alot faster than the second. My total time was 20:20. That makes my second week of running 15, next week I'll go 20. On a side note, I have my phone track how far I walk at work and today I walked 5 miles while at work, and it was just an average shift.

This morning I ran 5 miles with Salt Lake track club. We did the cemetery loop, and it took me 47:49. I felt really good and it was one of my fastest runs too. Hopefully I'll be able to run with people more often it's always nice to have someone to run with, but my work schedule makes that tricky. Not many people want to run at 4:30 in the morning.

This morning I ran three miles on the treadmill in 29:37. I hate the treadmill but it was supposed to snow so I thought I'd give it a try. I pay too much attention to the monitor when I run on the treadmill and the miles seem to drag on forever but I'm glad I got it done.

Today I ran 3 miles in 29:39. It felt okay but my right quad has been hurting lately. My shift got canceled so I didn't have to work today which was nice.

Today I ran 3 miles at liberty park. My total time was 31:14. I felt pretty sluggish today. I work a graveyard shift tonight so I'm going to take tomorrow off. My right quad has been hurting lately, but it usually warms up and does okay with diclofenac and tylenol. 

This morning I woke up with a low grade fever and haven't felt good all day, but I took a long nap and then got my run in. I did 3 miles in 29:27. It didn't feel too bad. I can't wait till I'm in good enough shape that 3 miles is easy.

Today I did 3 miles on the treadmill really slow. I still don't feel good and I didn't want to be outside in the cold so I went to the gym, and then afterwards I sat in the steam room to help my sinuses drain. My total time was 34:51. One of my slowest runs in a while, but I got my 20 miles for the week which is the farthest I've ran in a week in a very long time. Next week I'm going to go for 20 again, and I have a thanksgiving 5k too.

Today I ran three miles at sugar house park. I felt okay but I'm still not feeling very well. My time was 30:14. My right foot has been falling asleep on multiple runs recently. Any ideas on what I can do to make it stop?

Today I ran 3 miles with my dad after I got off of work. My total time was 29:16. I felt pretty good. It was really windy out and it's always hard to go for a run when you've been on your feet for 12+ hours. Yesterday on my run I rolled my ankle a little bit and it's sore today, but I'm sure it will feel better in a couple days.

This morning I ran 3 miles. My total time was 29:34. I felt good, now I have to get things ready for tomorrow, and I have the thanksgiving 5k in the morning. It looks like snow is in the forecast, so hopefully we'll get lucky and have good weather for the race but either way it should be fun.

This morning I ran a half mile warm up, then I did the thanksgiving 5k. My goal was to be under 30 minutes, and I was!My time was 27:07, so I averaged about 8:43. I ran alot faster than I thought I could. I felt good, and it gives me a good idea of what shape I'm in for the next couple of 5k's I have coming up. After the race I did a mile and a half cooldown.

Yesterday I was too exhausted to run, so today I had to do 6 miles to get my 20 for the week. I took Aurora with me. We went to liberty park and it took me 1:02:13. I took it nice and easy. That's the farthest I've ran it once in a few years, so I felt pretty good about it. Next week I'm going to go up to 25 miles, and I'm going to footlocker with East High so that should be fun!

Today after work I went to my dad's house for a run. I ran 4 miles. My total time was 38:52. We went out towards market street and back. My left shin and right quad still hurt pretty bad. I hope they'll start to feel better soon.

This morning I ran 4 miles from the hotel before we went to disneyland all day. My total time was 40:52. I took it nice and easy. I was tired from the long bus ride.

We went to the course this morning, and I jogged most of it. I did 3 miles in 30:36. It's a really tough course. My two goals are to run the whole thing without walking and do it in under 30 minutes.

This morning I warmed up about half a mile then I ran the race. My time for the race was 28:45. It was a really tough course, but I was able to do the whole thing without walking. It was really tempting to walk when others next to me were walking up the hills and maintaining the same pace as I was running but I did it. I also met my goal to be under 30 so I was really happy with my race. After the race I ran 2.5 miles cooldown very slow. Then I watched the seeded boys and Garek won which was really exciting!!! Then we had the long bus ride home which sucked, but it was a fun trip.

Tonight after work I drove over to my Dad's house and we did 4 miles. My total time was 38:00. My left shin and right quad still hurt pretty consistently and it makes it hard to open up my stride, but my legs feel better when I do. I've been massaging them the past couple nights and stretching. I hope they stop hurting soon. It's hard to motivate myself to run when every step is painful.

I took yesterday off because my shin was hurting pretty bad. Today I ran with my Dad. We did our traditional run to go get the christmas tree. It was 7.25 miles and it took me 1:07:48, which is 9:20 pace. It was my longest run so far, and my fastest. My legs felt pretty good. My left shin and right quad still hurt off and on during the run, but not so much that I slowed down.

Tonight I met Demetrio at the Jordan river trail and we ran 6 miles. It took me 1:00:02. It was windy and raining, but at least it wasn't super cold. My quad and shin have still been hurting. At least the next two days I don't have to run as far, but I am working both days so I'll be on my feet alot.

Tonight I ran after work from my house. I went 3.75 miles and it took me 37:37. My leg is still hurting quite a bit, so I also made a doctor's appointment. I'm going to take a couple days off and see how things go from there.

After taking a few days off I ran 4 miles today. I ran to the gym and it took me 41:20. My legs felt sluggish from the days off. I'm going to focus on doing a little less miles and adding in some strength exercises to see if that helps my legs to stop hurting. After my run I did 3 sets of 6 slow climbers, 6 lunges, and 6 squats with 2 minutes in between each set.

Today after work I did 3 miles around my neighborhood. It took me 31:32. My legs were super sore from the lunges and stuff yesterday. It shows how weak my muscles are and how badly I need to be doing those things. After my run I did 3x30 second wall sits and 3x30 second planks.

Tonight after the end of my 62 hour work week I went to the gym and did 4 miles on the dreadmill. It took me 39:00. I felt pretty good about that because I usually run slower on the treadmill. After the run I did 3 sets of 6 lunges, 6 plank jump ins, and 6 shoulder taps with 2 minutes in between each set.

I'm taking the day off of running, but I did 3 sets of 10 squats and 3 sets of 10 push-ups.

This morning I did 3 miles on the treadmill. I was going to go outside but it started snowing really hard so I went to the gym instead. It took me 28:31. My cardio felt really good, and my legs only hurt a little bit. After the run I did 3 sets of 10 slow climbers, 10 plank jacks, 10 alt arm/leg raises, 10 donkey kicks, and 10 plank jump-ins with 2 minutes of rest in between each set.

I ran one mile on the treadmill in  9:36, then I did 10 minutes on the elliptical, and 10 minutes on the bike. My leg was hurting so I didn't want to do too much running.

After working all day I did the beat the new year 5k at sugarhouse park. The race started at 11:30 and it was about 5 degrees. It was freezing, but I over dressed and was really hot during the race. My goal was just to beat the new year since I haven't been running as much and I was pretty tired from work. It turned out to be my fastest 5k this year. My time was about 26:30 (there weren't timers). I beat the new year and it felt pretty good. Hopefully this next year will be even better, and I can get in shape and actually run closer to the way I used to.
