Ran at westmoore high school. We did 8x 400. I kept them all between 1:13 and 1:15 with one fast one at 1:07. Then we did a mile run with striding the straight and easy jogging the curve.

3 easy before work at O.C.

Went to the park and ran 3 mile with Abriella in the stroller at the park.

Nate paced me for the first 2.5 then he dropped off (He ran bandit) I hit mile 1 at 5:04 mile 2 at 5:05 and mile 3 at 5:18.I felt good through the first 2 miles but then my legs got heavy. I could blame it on the weather but I need more of edurance training and I know that will come in time as I start my tempo runs back on a regular basis. Overall I finished 12th place and won my age group. Maybe next race.

12 mile super heat run with none other then Jason. I would imagine this is what it is like to run in Death Valley.

Easy run down at the river with JB, Neal, Jesse, and Austin.

I waited till after the rain went by and did a 4 mile tempo run. I did the first 2 miles about half marathon pace and then picked up the pace on the last 2. I'm glad I waited because the was about a 20 degree difference from before the rain and after the rain.

8 easy down at the OKC river

the work out was 10 mile tempo starting at 6:50 and knocking of 10 sec each mile. The temp was 90 degrees. I made it to mile 8 which was 5:38 and then I decied that it was enough for me and jogged it back easy the rest of the way.

20 miler with land run. New place for me but I liked it and it was cool this morning.

Easy 12 miler out at the Draper Hills.

10 down at the river. The wind was crazy. This was my toughest easy run in a long time.

The wind got my allergies going crazy. I skipped the workout and ran easy out at Earlywine YMCA.

I still feel like crap but now I feel achy. I tried to do a workout at bluff creek but between the wind and how I felt it wasn't happeing. I decied to to end my running at 5 miles. So when I made it back to the car there was Nate and he talked me into running the trails. I ended up with 9. Thanks Nate I still feel like crap.

This week was not a good week because of my allergies. After my not so good run Wednesday I decied to rest Thursday and Friday and get after it on Saturday. I ran with JHat for the first 5 miles then I did a 4 mile tempo at under 5:35 pace.(5:33  5:33  5:32  5:33) then I ran hard 1 mile and easy for the next couple of miles. 5:29 and 5:35 into the wind. I didn't feel 100% and I was coughing the crap out of my crest durning the run but I did feel better then I have.

Ran a easy 12 with Nate out at Draper Hills. It was rainy and it felt awesome.

10 easy on the river

I did 4 mile warm up and cool down. The plan was mile repeats. First mile was with the wind and I hit 5:14 second mile was into the wind and that was not to goods 5:22. Mile 3 was at 5:08 and I was done after that. I did the rest of the run like a steady state run. I still feel the effects of being sick last week but I feel a lot better.

10 miles easy to Draper Lake and back.

easy run down at the river.

I decieded to run this race because first place was a $100 dollar gift card to OK Runner and I need a new pair of race flats. I went into the race going to do a tempo run at half marathon pace (5:25- 5:30). The first half of the race was pretty much a series of down hills and on the back half there where so pretty good size hills. I won pretty easy and felt comfortable during the race even through the hills

easy 12 through the Draper Hills

10 easy on OKC river

10 mile trail run out at Draper Lake bike trails.
