Cam's Running Blog

Didn't get a run in today, Got to sleep at 6am after work and Aubrey got me up to open my presents just after noon.  Headed to Kangaroo Zoo and played with the kids for my birthday.

Met up with Ben V and Brett F at North Ogden Nature Center.  Ran the canal road south down to the waterfall at the mouth of Ogden canyon.  Got a nice view of the fire at the mouth of the canyon and the only spot in the valley without smoke this morning!!  Good run, hope they get the fire under control.

Race this morning went well.  I'm always cautious to run my guts out on the 4th of july race because I don't want to be too dead to enjoy the rest of the day.  Felt like I ran a good hard race today though.  Ran fairly even splits on the miles that were flat, little slower on the uphill mile in the middle (5:43, 6:14, 5:45).  Hit the Kaysville parade afterward, BBQ and Grma & Grpa Brough, and the fireworks at Davis High.  Great day, girls had fun.

Struggling today to find time for a run and time my sleep for my grave shift tonight.  Got out for a little loop though.  Rainy, great day to try out the waterproof running shoes!!

Got out for a little tempo run in the rain today.  4 miles out the south Ogden loop (6:44, 6:25, 6:49, 6:49), need to work on my consistency I guess!  Felt really good in the rain.  Left hamstring and hip bugging a bit.  Started with the glucosamine again when I got back.

Easy run this morning.  Over past Weber, up and around beus pond a few times, and back home.  Felt a little sluggish.

Warm up and cool down to and from Weber State.  Indoor track workout.  Too hot to run outside today!!

6x200's (38, 37, 39, 38, 38, 39)

3x400's (1:22, 1:18, 1:19)

2x600's (2:03, 2:05)

1x800's (2:52)

Workout felt great and the hamstring did pretty good.  Not 100%, but stronger than its felt in the past.  Meant to do 4x400's, but must have miss counted in all the circles cause my watch says I only did 3, workout was pretty decent without it though.

Ran to Weber indoor track again.  Couple miles there before I met up with Jordan and we ran 6 on the track.  Then ran back home.  Hot day again.  Got some good miles in.

4miles on the indoor track at Weber.  Met up with Jordan after waking up from my last work night of the week.  Decent few miles, and better than running outside during midday heat.

Insomnia got the best of me this morning, so I took advantage and headed out on a run before the heat got up!  Decent run out polk/tyler, and back on the pipe trail.  Too bad Weber's indoor track doesn't open until 6:30 or I could have spent a little time there too.

Trails today

Dropped the girls off at my parents, and Lesley and I headed to Ben Lomond peak.  Parked at the trailhead in the North Ogden Divide.  Hiked most of the way up with some running here and there.  Ran a lot of the way back down.  Probably could have ran a bit more, but I've had a great week overall and didn't feel the need.  2.5 hrs to get to the peak, 1.5 hrs back down.  GPS watch was out of batteries and I forgot to charge it the night before, so we just went with the mileage on the trail markers.  Perfect day to be out in the mountains.  Not too hot, windy and rainy and great.  Good to get out for a solid hike/run with Lesley.

Ran out to the pavilion and back on the pipe trail.  Pretty warm out and stopped at every water fountain available.  Ok run overall.

Good workout, felt strong.  Always a nice change to get on the track a bit.

Hike up in Glacier park.  Went with Lesley and her dad.  Great day, great weather.  Hiked to Mt. Siyeh, and had my first grizzly bear sighting!  Elevation gain 4,313ft.  Amazing lookout from peak!!

Hike day 2 in Glacier park.  Did a two peak combo today.  Hiked to Pollock peak and then over to Bishop's Cap.  Horrible windy conditions and foggy for parts as well, delayed us for an hourish trying to stay warm and putting on more and more clothes from our packs.  Awesome hike in the end, glad we made it the whole way in the conditions though.  Elevation gain 4,195ft.

Run this morning with Lesley and the girls around Eagle Bend.  Felt pretty tired from a big hikes the last few days. Total-5.25miles

Huckleberry hike this evening with Tim and Su up Bear Creek.  Had the girls in the carriers, nice hike and got a bunch of huckleberries for some good pancakes and scones this week!!  Total-4.25miles

Went around Eagle Bend again today.  Out and over doc's hill then around to the highway to Kalispell, then around Harbor Village and back to the house.  Felt pretty good.  Nice morning weather.

Headed out on a distance run this morning.  Hit the river road and decided to do a few tempo miles cause I was feeling pretty good.  4miles of easy, fast, easy, fast.  Tempo miles were 6:10 and 6:05.  Met up with Lesley and traded the girls.  I pushed the girls back home for a 2mile cool down.  Good run, nice to have a some good runs up here in Montana.

Left the girls with my mom this morning and Lesley and I got a run in together.  Ran around Eagle Bend, nice morning run, great weather.

Went up to Glacier park with the girls and my parents.  Hiked in to St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls.  Also went for a hike up the boardwalk at Logan pass.  Fun day with the fam, and beautiful waterfalls in Glacier.

Ran out the the river road dam and back to eagle bend.  Going to be a warm day here.  Still feeling the left hamstring a bit.
