12.2 mile morning run around the overpass loop. Did the headphones this morning and sometimes when I do I run a little faster than I should. I didn't have the garmin on but I'm guessing it was just under 7 min pace maybe like 6:50 or something. Legs are starting to come around- the hamstrings are still pretty sore but way better than last week and other than that I'm almost 100%. So by the end of the week I should be ready to roll.

GOOD JOB TIGER!

8.3 miles tonight with the club. 5 mile warm-up then a 2 mile tempo and 1.3 mile cool-down. The run tonight with the club was good in theory... I just had some diet issues before the run that screwed things up. Actually the content (sushi and a bowl of Golden Grams) wasn't too bad it was the timing that was. I ate them just after 6 p.m and we ran at 8 p.m... that proved to be not enough time for the digestive system to take care of it's load. So my tempo went south about 1.6 miles into it I just stopped right before it was too late (puking) and took some deep breaths and then just finished slower. The first mile was in 5:08 and I was on pace for around a 5:20 on the second before bailing out.

Anyways a good time tonight with the group. It's fun to have everyone get together and do runs like that.

10.4 miles on the bike = 2.6 miles or easy running.

I road down there and back and it was just over 5.2 each way. I really didn't want to get on the bike after we got done but this is my plan and I have to man up to it.

Hey Clyde i guess i am in on the B team. which stands for better! Hey what are every one plans on going up. We should coordinate the trip plans.

We are going to leave Thursday afternoon/evening and drive up to Orem and stay there that night at my uncles house. They will not be home and we will have the house to ourselves for the weekend.

Then we will drive up to Logan on Friday from Orem and enjoy the race. Well stay in Orem on Saturday night at the same house and then come home on Sunday morning.

So it will be You, Dave, Logan, Hayden, and I riding up in Dave's car and we will all split gas.

We will talk about it tonight and finalize everything.

What took you so long to get out? I thought you'd be leaving right after me. I have so much to do I don't know where to start so I am blogging my run. :)

I had to give my stomach some time and take a couple potty breaks before I left.

Nice run today! Sometimes the sun just shines your way like it did for tiger. See, even he has a little drama with the whole pain in his knee and stuff. Lets hope it doesnt rub off on Kolbe! Go Celtics! What happened to KG? He turned into a Karl Malone quick didnt he?

True story Walt- and I agree I've got the Boston pride- Go Celtics.
