AM:  12 miles. 2 mile warm-up, 3 mile warm down. 4 x 2000m repeats from Karl's home in Orem with a great crew. 800m rest between intervals. All times were in the low to mid 6:20's. I didn't pay as much attention to times, except to notice that my mile times during the intervals ranged from 5:02 to 5:08. This entire run was an out and back course on the roads. Was a great workout. Zak and I ran together the whole time; he is in great shape.

PM:  6 miles on the Murdock Canal Trail.

AM:  20 miles, Provo Canyon, 10 miles up and 10 miles down. Large crew (10 guys). Great run, and excellent, mild weather. 10 miles easy on the way up, then did an 8 mile tempo at 5:25 average (5:22, 5:23, 5:21, 5:29, 5:26, 5:24, 5:27, 5:23). Just went by feel today, and this is the pace that felt right. Felt very relaxed and comfortable. My goal for this run was to get a good workout, but to not over-do it. I feel like I succeeded. Mike and I ran together during the tempo -- he looked great! We even paced Sasha for a couple miles during the Provo River Trail 1/2 Marathon.

It's been a rough week health-wise. After a good workout Wednesday morning, I quickly developed GI issues, and I was vomiting and had diarrhea all day (sorry, TMI). I could hardly stand up because I felt like I would pass out. I think it must have been something I ate. That day, I couldn't keep any food or drink down until late afternoon (which I again threw up later). My weight dropped to 141 that day (not good at all -- definitely not the way to lose weight; I was clearly very dehydrated). I didn't miss any planned runs this week, although I probably should have. I did a second run on Wednesday evening (thought I could hack it, despite my wife pleading that I do otherwise). I did finish the run, and then promptly threw up everything again. Finally, later that evening, I began to improve, and I ate and drank as much as I could (several times during the night). I managed to gain 8 pounds in 1 day (I was 149 pounds on Thursday morning); I was happy about this.

Ok, enough whining. I'm finally feeling about back to normal.

PM:  Hamstring and upper body weights.
