10 easy smooth miles at 4:00 a.m. !!!  I was proud of myself getting up that early and running.  It felt pretty good to run by the light of the moon and stars, or coarse I was a little nervus about stepping on a rattle snake.

Late run today, I didn't feel like getting up early.  I guess getting up yesterday at 4:00 a.m. and running left a bad taste in my mouth. 

I was able to sneek away from work today for a few hours and managed to get in 6 easy miles with some speed in between.

Speed miles

Mile 1 @ 5:33

Mile 2 @ 5:24

Mile 3 @ 5:18

Mile 4 @ 5:27

Felt pretty good about the speed in general.  I was a little tired from Saturday's race, but managed to post some good times.  I was fighting a little head wind on the speed, but I'm not complaining too much. 

Total of 10 miles.

10 easy miles. A little tight from yesterdays speed. I had to run some errands today in St. George, while waiting I decided to do my run.  I ended up running at a park on 7th North and Bluff.  I just ran on the grass the whole time.  I must have ran around that crazy park 25 times, but I got my 10 in.  I watched people come and go, while on their lunch breaks.  Most came to smoke or have lunch.  I even watched one person get a citation from St. George PD.  People were looking at me like I was crazy, probably woundering just how many times I was going to run around the park.  It ended up being a good spot.  I got to rest my legs from the impact of the asphalt, there were trees for shade and even a drinking fountain.

Another 10 easy miles today.  It was my day off, so I slept in and ran around 10:00 a.m.  The wind was crazy out there today, at least it wasn't hot. 

The dog hasn't been running with me lately because of the heat.  He's a long haired dog and doesn't do well in the heat.  I shaved him yesterday and took him running with me today.  He did a lot better without all that hair. 

I'll have to get up early and run tomorrow.  I've got the early shift, which I hate.

6 miles today.  Had a really weird scheldule and then a family party to attend.  Did everything I could just to knock off 6 miles.  I felt good just being able to get out and run today.

Total of 12 miles today!!  I haven't ran over 10 miles forever.  It's time to start ramping up.  I've been some what of a slacker lately with my miles.  I need to start getting serious. 

The dog did his longest run yet today.  He looked like he could have done another 10 easy, of coarse he doesn't get water like me.  Maybe it's best he doesn't go over 10. 

I felt pretty good about this weeks mileage.  I haven't gone over 40 miles in a long time.  I do feel a little more tired then normal, but I think I'll be ok.
