Went for a Steve Jones style run today. Up and around the Dimple Dell north rim trail this afternoon.   This is an uphill rolling wood chip trail that is merciless in the heat.  Came back down to 7th east and Walmart and then slowly opened up from 6 minute pace to 5:30s then 5:26 for the last 2 miles before home.   Much better than yesterday, felt like I could fly down 7th.

Long tempo run with 2 miles at MP effort and 1 mile at AT intensity each set alternated with a minute or so of easy paced running.   Last 3 miles in 16:44. 16 miles out and back on the loop.   Total time: 1:33:34.   Felt really good this morning even with the 82 degree heat.  Nice..

No run today, just too busy with work, meeting and family today.  Damn recession.. It's literally squeezing the life out of me in ways I don't want go into detail right now. Thats ok though as it may just be the way it's supposed to be.  I keep wondering if maybe the best days are gone now.  I just can't seem to get in the miles I need  in order to make it happen. And regardless of what people say I don't have all that much talent, I have to work really hard just like everyone else.  The really bad part is that I'm not getting any younger either.  Hmm.. maybe I'm feeling a little sorry for myself today I don't know, but I don't care either because thats the way I feel right at the moment.  But for now, I'll just go run and play tomorrow.   Because afterall,  I'm still grateful for that.

Very agressive but controlled run today.  Headed out on 7th and clicked off a 6:44 first mile for a warmup!  Next was 6:22 and after that things got really interesting so to speak.  More to come later.

Hills, hills and more hills.. almost everyday I run up and down hills.  I hope it pays off.  First 6.5 miles in 40:09.  Miles 7-10 at 5-5:22/mile and 11-13 at 5:32-5:44 with last half mile at 2:38.  A really good run considering my weekly average is still low although about 20 mpw higher than before SLC marathon.  All in all, a very good run today...

I just got thrown a curve ball today with my health and it came on suddenly for some reason.  I even went on my run as soon as I got away from work to see if it would clear up with some exercise and improved circulation.  Not happening.    You see I have a case of bad ringing and hearing loss in my right ear and it's making me crazy with anxiety.  Even to the point of not sleeping well last night because of it.  I dread the idea of seeing a doctor because of the cost.  No insurance..  Long story. 

Anybody have any personal experience with this?   Ear infection? No pain though.  I'm stumped as to what is happening.  Anyway, 5 easy miles today at 7-8/min mile.
