Clyde's Comeback!

Through the Knolls and over to the golf course restroom and then back. I decided to restructure my running program as of today. I'd like to drop about 7lbs and for the last month or so it just won't come off... and I just don't want to eat good. So I'm going to start running doubles again. It seems a run in the morning and evening helps my body really get fit... No I'm not going to be increasing the mileage to high volume but rather just the frequency. So in a nutshell like 6-8 miles in the morning and 4-6 miles in the evening. I'll try this for a couple weeks and see how the hammy holds up. It might get a little tweaked with me running STGM in a couple weeks and going to Moab for a mt bike weekend this week but overall thats the new goal. 

Did my little auto pilot loop around the GC this evening for some always on the run miles. I felt good... better than avg I guess. Hit the first two miles at around 7:30 then kind of kicked it in and just focused on really good form. Then avg 6:55 for the run. Hitting the last mile up from the gas station under 6 min's. Hopefully this wont trash the system for the week cuz I've got a lot going.  

Met up with Logan and Paul here at the house at 5:30 a.m. We did the Bloomington loop run down to the river trail and back around. It was nice and cool and we just eased around. I felt good and never felt like I was working. It's nice to get a run in and not feel beat up from it. I decided that I'm going to run STGM all out and race it hard this year only if there is a 70 mile an hour tail wind... so if it's only 69 mph I'm still a no go.  

5 always on the run miles with my uncle over in Hurricane. I've been running with him a few times trying to help him learn the sport or something. He's doing great and did the 5 miles tonight in 47 min with only one walk break and that was factored in to the time. A couple weeks ago we walked 3 or 4 times on only 4 miles. So a big PR for him today.  

Looped around B-hills. Temps were great today. I just love this time of year... but it's going to get warmer they say... at least for a while. Run was o.k. nothing blog worthy to report. 

5.9 miles this evening around B-hills and stuff. No watch but a swift clip all the way around.  

Nice cool run this morning pushing Myler in the baby jogger. I woke up feeling like blah and didn't want to do anything but by 3 miles into it I really felt great. It got me excited to head to Moab for a weekend of running, golf, mt. biking, family, and college football. Oh yes baby!

4 miles around the GC here by the cabin in Moab. My left foot felt like it was fractured. I did some wind sprints down the fairway barefoot last night in the dark and now it's just pain. Now to play in the golf tourney. 

Went on 2 big mt. bike rides here in Moab. Lots of steep climbs, pounding rock trails, and sand. I road the Slickrock trail this morning. It says on the reviews that it takes between 2-4 hours to ride. I did it in 1:24 - passed lots of road kill. Then this evening I did the Flat Pass trail- or One Rocky Mutha. I was pushing it trying to out run some four wheelers back to town... and I did. I was flying but pounding up the hills and  my heart rate was sky high. Anyway the legs are dead... DEAD! But it was totally worth it.
