Long day.  Started early ended late.  Only had enough time and desire to do 5 late night miles.

10 miles this morning.  Felt pretty good.  Did 3 miles at just about marathon pace.

Stopped by Steve's running store in St. George yesterday.  Bought a new pair of shoes for myself and the wife.  I got the Asics Gel Nimbus 9's.  I love Nimbus.  I also picked up the Struassburg sock for my achilles tendon.  I hope it does the trick.

I used the sock last night.  I'll give it about a week and see what happens, I'm hearing good reviews about it anyway.  I tried out the new Nimbus 9's today, loved them. 

I'm planning on doing some mile repeats at speed tomorrow.

11 total miles today.  Got out a little earlier then normal, which was good because I ended up doing a little speed.

Did a pretty good warm up and then 1 mile @ speed in 5:59.  I know it wasn't very fast, but I haven't done speed for awhile besides the Summer games 10k last Friday, so I was a little sluggish. 

Did a few more miles @ speed, each one natrually got a little faster mile two @ 5:44 and mile three @ 5:27.  I didn't want to over do it, so I stopped at three. I'll probably add another mile to the speed next week. 

My seven year old daughter plans on doing the Bryce Canyon 5k again this year and was bugging me to train with her, so we went out and did 1 mile.  She might end up being a good little runner one of these days.

Another day miles day.  I felt a little tired and slow from the speed I did yesterday, but overall a good run.

Worked late last night.  I spent about 4 hours helping someone that was stuck.  Crazy guy went off road, in the sand, without four wheel drive.  I almost had him out, but he didn't know how to drive when being towed.  I ended up getting stuck myself and then we both worked on my vehicle for awhile.  We must have collected every piece of sagebrush with in a 1/4 mile just the build up a road enough to get some traction.  Between using the high lift jake, killing all the sage brush in sight to make a road and shoveling with our hands, we both finally made it out.  I was so dehydated by the time we were done and of coarse it was dark.   All I could think about the whole time was how it was going to effect my run in the morning. 

I was so tired this morning I didn't run.  I'm going to go out this afternoon in the heat of the day, I'm sure I'll suffer for sleeping in. 

Did a 10 miler this afternoon, it was way too hot!!!!  I carried water with me and there was a little wind, so I didn't pass out and die.  Now I know why I run in the morning.  I feel bad for all those crazy runners in St. George, now thats hot.
