I'm in Tahoe for the week with my family. I've been sporadic with my training for the last year and I want to get back into shape and up the mileage. That starts with running six days a week and going from there. Today I went for an easy 4.2 miles. I picked it up a little the last mile. It felt good.

I went for a nice run in Tahoe. I started out along the road for a mile, then turned onto a really steep hill called ski run blvd. It started out uphill and kept getting steeper and steeper until the end. It was quite the workout to get to the top. It was a mile in length. After that I got onto a trail and turned around after three miles. I went back the same way. My splits were all over the place with the hills, with a 5:59 for the last mile. Total pace was 7:29.

Just an easy run today. It felt good, easy pace. 7:12 average. I was feeling a few possible injuries, but everything felt fine today.

Six miles today. I kept a pretty relaxed pace throughout, not really easy, but not hard. My splits were 7:17, 7:07, 6:58, 6:57, 6:40, and 6:24. It felt good, nothing is sore. After I ran, I lifted weights for a half hour.

Short trail run today. Slow pace, 8:30. There were some monster hills, so I wasn't worrying about the pace too much. It was a good workout.

I'm bumping up the mileage slowly. Today I ran seven miles along the provo river trail. I kept it pretty easy 7:30 for the first two miles, 7:00 for the next five.

Five miles today. I felt good but a little more tired than usual, I think it will take a while to get used to running everyday again and while I'm increasing mileage. My average pace was 7:03 with the last mile at 6:18.
