Clyde's Comeback!

Around the Knolls and down into Bloomington to the river trail. Then back around B-hills to river road and home. I just tried to keep things easy this morning. No pushing it, no trying to get into a good groove which equals pushing it. My legs were kind of sore and trashed from last Saturdays workout so I needed to kind of run it all out of them this morning. Anyways kept it simple and hit a avg of 7:23 min mile pace. 

Another slow painful run... well just kind of soreish. Looped Stone Cliff and in to B-Hills before coming back to River Road and home. Pace was slow and easy at 7:20 avg. Looking forward to the soreness leaving the legs. I'll also be in SLC Friday and Sat so if anyone wants to run up there let me know. 

5 miles tonight with Don. Around the Knolls and into B-hills onto the GC and round then back. Pace was nice and easy and it helped loosen up the quads.

This run pretty much sucked. Paul and Logan met at the house at 5:15 and we ran through the Knolls, down past Flying J, around the Bloominton Loop then back over to River Road to the house. I just felt like crap- bottom line. The hammy was sore and I was just overall fatigued. I could tell Logan wasn't doing that good either so we kind of were dead weight for Paul. Sorry man! But you always hear that slow miles are good miles too so we avged 7:35 for the run. I hope to be able to relax a little today and run a little shorter on Thursday. Then Logan will be in SLC on Friday morning as well and we are going to try and do a longer run up there. 

Had to keep it strictly recly today and just go short and easy. The legs felt much better than the last few days. This was good because if they had not I was thinking about walking away from the sport. I just looped Flying J and B-Hills hitting the loop in 1:03. Now to get ready to head up to SLC.  

Good run up here in SLC. Meet up with Adam, Chad, Walter, and Logan (who was up here as well). We met at the state Capital building and ran around the bench for a few to kind of use the flat area before heading up the canyon. Then we started up, up and more up. Walter and Chad needed to head off a little early but the rest of us went up to the top. Adam had fun showing us his little secret running park. It's a great run with really no traffic and for us St. George boys the temps were awesome. I started getting really tierd of the uphill as the legs were still kind of jacked from last weekend but about that time we reached the top. Had we been feeling frisky we could have bailed down really fast but nobody was so we just hit a smoot, conversational 6:40 pace back down to the cars. 

It was great to see all those guys. Since I haven't been racing this year I haven't seen most of the blogging family. I thought to my self this morning that when we are all healthy we had a pretty strong pack out today.... not your typical morning joggers!

Great run guys and thanks for coming out!

Kind of a off the cuff rest day. I had planned to do a bike ride today and it didn't happen so I just didn't do anything. This was good. I really enjoyed being up in SLC and just having the morning with my wife and a nice breakfast with some old friends. It felt great getting some extra rest but I feel way chunky now after eating fast food and soda all weekend. I'm guessing Mondays run is going to suck...
