Clyde's Comeback!

Into the fields around Stone Cliff then down the trail to Bloomington Hills- back through the Knolls and home. 7:21 pace for the run. 

I started out slow and really felt like Monday ( I'm guessing not running on Fri, Sat, or Sun was one day too much). But around mile 4 I started to feel better and in the end was really running well. I kind of think I'm actually starting to get better but I don't wont to say that out loud or the hammy will hear me and start hurting again. Looking forward to a good week of running with a trip to Torrey  this weekend.  

Basically the same loop as yesterday but without the Knolls finish. Avg of 7:15 min mile pace. Had a hard time getting things to flow today. I think a good run on the golf course in 5 fingers would help square me off. So I'll just need to get over there. Hot and dead days of summer here in the STG. 

Another version of the Stone Cliff loop. This time I went down through St. James Place and into Bloomington Hills. For some reason the legs felt really trashed and I struggled to keep things going. During the run I just kept trying to relax and run easy but still ended up with a 7:20 avg. I would have liked to see that around 7:40 but I just couldn't relax. Now we are getting ready to head to Torrey for the weekend so I hope to get a few runs up there at altitude. 

Wasn't going to run today because we drove from Torrey over to Manti to the temple and then golfed Palisades GC. It was a great day and I golfed really good and even chipped one if off the green. 

Anyways I did 5 miles on the treadmill becasue it was windy and rainy out. Started out hitting the first mile in 8:35 and then worked into a mini tempo finishing at a 7:10 avg. Legs felt great and I was satisfied with the workout. 

I got dropped off in Bicknell and ran back to Torrey. It was a sick trip. I ate a butt load of my aunts famous cheesey hash browns way too close to going out on the run. I was close to puking the whole trip and had to stop for a road side potty. Nonetheless I still avg. 6:58 and was just trying to keep things flowing but not push it. 

After golfing 18 this morning and messing around I wasn't really up for a run but I had a goal this week to at least get out everyday Mon-Sat. So I went up Sand Creek on the dirt road and then looped cross country style down a wash and into Rainbow Estates then back home. It ended up being a really enjoyable run. I loved being out in the hills above Torrey. It is absolutely beautiful up there and the temp was just around 80 so pretty great compared to STG stuff. 

Happy with getting out everyday and hope to do the same next week. Kind of feeling good about the direction of my fitness and training.
