First day of official training for Top of Utah marathon. Been running on the treadmill lately a lot due to crappy weather...cold, windy and wet...

Today was 45ish, cloudy and nice for a run. Ran 5 on the ridge with some smaller hills. 

9:07 pace is kinda slow but OK...will look to do 3 more runs this week as weather looks halfway decent. Meaning not too cold and not much rain in the forecast.

4 miles easy on the tread and will look to go 10 miles on Saturday outside(hoping for good running weather). Feeling good and looking forward to running outside for my runs as we get some decent weather.

Perfect running weather today...partly cloudy with mid 50's temp. and no wind or rain.

Easy run in Snoqualmie(flat) with a couple miles on the Sno. Valley trail.

Started out with a long sleeve tech shirt and short sleeve on but after 4 miles ditched them along with my hat as it was making me sweat a LOT.

Lungs were feeling great but legs got a bit tired at the end so finished up with an 8:10 mile. The first nine were run at 8:58 pace, just going easy.

Legs are feeling really good from the slow buildup to this.

Sweet morning for a run 50-55 degrees with sunshine. 2nd day in a row of sunshine.

Ridge run with 1 of the miles the parkway hill. It's a mile from bottom to top but uphill is about .75-.8 miles and I did that at a pretty good sprint. overall pace today was 8:45...not bad but certainly not fast either. Body feels great!!

Another PERFECT running morning. Cool(55) with plenty of sunshine though so just wore a short sleeve tech shirt. I can't believe how well my legs and body are responding to this uptick in miles and running on "real" surfaces. 

Going at an easy pace and finished at an 8:42 ... gonna have to look for some races this summer!

We've had nice sunny days for 4 days in a row this week...knew that wasn't going to last. A little rain overnight so cooled off a bit...upper 40's for the run...a little wind but not bad. 

Drove down to town and ran Mill pond out to the bridge then SVT to Centennial Park. Then back on SVT then back to CP. And finally Mill pond and done...the SVT does tend to be easier on the legs but it slurps the energy right out of them too. Got a bit tired toward the end but was able to focus and keep good form and even speed up a bit on the last mile.

Started off really sluggish the first 3/4 of a mile then got in a nice rythm. Surprised me at how quickly my fitness is coming back...

Overall pace 8:39 with last mile coming in at 8:27...

Nice running weather...overcast with some wind in places...low 50's

Warm up of about 2.75 miles easy at the ridge. Saw my buddy the Treeman and ran for about 3/4 of a mile with him...he's getting ready to run the Rock n Roll Seattle marathon in about a month.

After warmup hit the parkway hill and tried to go fast up it but the wind turned crazy there and was pounding me. Finally made it to the top and was beat...wind at my back was an easy cruise back down.

overall pace was 8:37
