| Good recovery run today, 6.1 miles at a easy 7:12 pace in 44 minutes. No soreness in the body to speak of. The temperature was 17 degrees. I guess spring is not close here yet. Evening: Ran 1.3 miles with my wife and kids. |

| Another easy run today 8.1 miles at a 7:30 pace. I got in some good uphill running up Olympus Rd. and the a good downhill stretch running down Booth Rd. I've been really depressed the last couple days that I should have done better at SLC. I keep going over and over the last 4 miles of the race that I should have tried to push harder. But Ogden will be my redemption. Anyway, I ran 8.1 miles at a 7:30 pace in exactly 1 hour. |

Rainy morning but the temperature was in the 40's. I ran 8.3 miles at a 7:17 in 1 hour. I was trying to run easy by feel and not pushing the run at all. I ran all over just making the route up as I went. The whole distance was flat. My inner knee on the right leg has been hurting the last couple of days, and it actually hurt this whole run this morning. I will not run tomorrow not because I'm taking a day off, but my wife is leaving for Boise today and will be gone till Thursday night so I have to be home in the morning. I will not have time the whole day to run. This break is good anyway to give the knee a chance to heal, and if it doesn't feel good on Friday, I won't run Friday either. One thing to note looking at the marathon on Saturday, when I turned into the last bit on the gateway, I looked at the digital clock display and it was right at 2:44:50 so I thought okay I will be under 2:45 and I picked the pace up, but I could have ran faster than I did, but I thought I had an easy 2:45 something. But when I could see the finish line digital clock from a distance it showed 2:45:58. I sprinted too late and got 2:46:07. Lesson to learn don't ever assume something, but give it all you have at the end.

| No running this morning or today. My wife's in Boise and I will not have a minute in the day to run. But that will give my knee a chance to heal. My problem is I would have run today if I didn't have a chance where I couldn't. I'm the type of person that will run or exercise even if I feel hurt, sick and that's not always smart. I've always believed that you have to do something everyday, but than there's a point where you can over-train and wear your body down. I've realized if I want to get the best performance out of Ogden, and using SLC marathon as a good tune-up, than I better make sure my body does get some rest time. I really don't feel like I just ran a marathon, even on Sunday my body felt good. I would like to walk away from a marathon feeling like I can't even walk that I gave everything I had.
I'll do my usual sit-ups and push-ups tonight so I'll do something. 7 hours of sleep this morning, but I stayed up till midnight looking at the Ogden course and figuring out what pace I need to run each mile. |

| This morning the weather was 30 degrees and I thought it was going to rain, but I got lucky. I finished my run before it even attempted to rain. My knee wasn't bad I could feel some soreness as I ran. About 85% of the run I ran on gravel, dirt, grass to help the impact. It really didn't bother me running. But if I start running tomorrow and
it hurts than I won't run Saturday or Sunday and give it a good rest so
I can get ready for Ogden. I ran at an easy pace not caring what it was, and that's how it should be after last weeks marathon. I need to take it easy and then build back up next week. . I ran 10.3 miles at an overall 7:24 pace in 1:16. Busy day tomorrow.

| Nice day today! Sunny and warm and no wind! I got almost 9 hours of sleep last night which was excellent. I did a lot of uphill stretches in my run, because I feel I really need to work on my uphill running. I feel thats a little bit of a weakness for me even though I do a lot of it already, but not in continuous miles. Going up like a 1000 feet in 4 miles would be a good training session. Which I haven't done. Anyway, I ran 14 miles at an easy 7:03 pace in 1:38. I took it very easy. I wanted to be on my feet for a long time in this run and the miles didn't matter to me today.
