I ran outside today with Hildisvini today. The news said it was 83 but it seemed so much hotter then that. Grrr, I don't like heat.

My first 10 miles since I got tendonitis. I felt really got running it and felt like I could have run a couple more at the end. 86 minutes was my time. I need to get ready for the Provo half. It's scaring me.

Today's race was fun. I love all of the adrenaline at the beginning then hate it when it leaves. I also liked it because Hildisvini, Ben, Steve, and my wife Emily also ran in it. When I started out I felt like I was going very fast and I wasn't going to reach my sub 50 minute goal. Then I looked at my watch at the 2 mile mark and was blown away when it said 13:50. Wow, that pumped me up. The rest of the way I felt really strong, then kind of died the last 1/2 mile. I ran it around 46 minutes. I fell really good about it. I am also glad because everyone else had a good race. After I finished the race, I ran back to find Emily and ran with her the rest of the way. I am so proud of her that she ran the whole thing. Now I need to try to get her to sign up for more races. Time to start training for the Provo 1/2 marathon. At work we have been talking about the benefits that a wind resistant body suit for running. I think there might be something to that.

Rode the bike at work and worked out the upper body. I'm really stiff after the race yesterday. Not sure if I should do my long run tomorrow. Although the half marathon is looming. I feel so unprepared for it.

Hiked up Adams Canyon with the family. I packed Maya around in the child carrier. She did great. The waterfall was cool but it sure was hot out there.

Ran on the treadmill at work. I think I strained my hamstring/groin during the race last week. It only seems to hurt during running. I can run with it but it is uncomfortable. I have the 1/2 marathon coming up in a little over a week. I hope it gets better by then or it will be a long 13 miles.
