5 miles. Weights, push and sit ups, heavy bag.

 I'm excited for everyone running the St. George marathon tomorrow.  I can't express how much I wish I was there as well. 

Not drawing out on the lottery this year has really bumbed me out.  I don't know if I'll ever run as many miles per week or train as hard as I did this year again.  To not be able to test myself on a PR marathon, when I trained so hard really upsets me.

I know those who actually got into St. George don't really care, but I feel like I missed an oppertunity this year.  I don't think I'm going to run as hard as I did this year.  It took a lot out of me.

I almost considered running bantom, just prove to myself it was going to be a PR.

Anyway, I'd like to  horse whip a St. George marathon official or two, but I guess thats water under the bridge. 

I'll be ok.  I'm just venting. 

Good luck everyone tomorrow.  Enjoy the race.

I tried to imagine myself running the St. George Marathon this morning on my five mile run.  Although fun, it didn't feel like the real thing. 

Man, I hope I get in next year.

Nice easy run. Fist 4 at 7:30 minute miles last mile at 6:58. Felt really easy. Didn't feel like pushing too much.   It's fall.  It's time to step back a little.  If I push too hard durning the Fall and Winter months, I'm not going to feel like pushing when I should be pushing. 

Did push and sit ups, weights, and hit the heavy bag around.

4 miles at 7:30 mpm, last mile at 5:50. 

Felt pretty easy and relaxed.  This 5 mile a day stuff feels too easy.  It's hard going from 15 miles a day to 5. 

My body does need the rest and I could use some time off from long running to get excited about it again.

5 miles this morning. 4 at 7:30 mpm, last mile at 6:30. I went to run on MY treadmill this morning and can you believe it, someone was running on it!!  I had to do my weight, heavy bag, push and sit ups first. 

My arms were really tired and sore this morning. 

Finished the workout on the treadmill.

Slacked off for a few days. I went wake boarding on Monday for awhile. The water was 65 degrees. Probably the last ride of the season. I'm still a little sore. I was boarding for almost an hour straight.

I was out of town for a couple of days and didn't run. I got the chance, I just decided not to.

5 miles today.  Pretty easy and fast.  Hit the heavy bag, push and sit ups and weights.

Long day. I was working the hunt and started early and didn't get off the mnt until late.

I didn't get done with my workout until after 10 pm.  Luckily my wife got my lazy butt going.

3 miles at 7:30, 1 mile at 6:58 and the last mile at 5:45.

Push and sit ups, weights, and hit the heavy bag.

Felt pretty good.  Man are my arms tired from the strenght training.

5 miles this morning.

3 @ 7:30 minutes per mile

1 @ 6:58

and the last mile @ 5:45

A good little bit of speed to start off the morning.  I didn't feel like I was pushing all too much.  I'm not really going to bump up for awhile, but a mile of speed every week isn't going to hurt me.

Did some push and sit ups after the run, followed by weights and hitting the heavy bag.
