9.2 miles up the trail and around GS. I didn't leave until around 8:40 or so because some people were pruning our bushes around the side of the house and the dogs were getting crazy. Anyways by the time I was out running it was almost too hot. The weather is just magical right now. Last Thursday the 13th of November I saw kids out having a water balloon fight up in GS. Man I'm glad I live here! 

I felt good on the run. Just a little click of pain back in the hammy. I'll try to nurse it along this week and maybe have April work on it this Saturday. 

9.2 miles tonight. After a long day of cleaning and painting the nursery I finally got out. Not a bad run at all. I finished off the desert right at dusk and it was beautiful out there.

I posted a picture of my new set of wheels. As you can see my "green" all biking phase only lasted about 6 months. Hey I tried...

11.1 miles this morning up around part of the overpass loop. Another great morning with sunny skies here in Zion. I've got a stack of honey-do's a mile long so it's time to get going. Mik'L can crack the whip from Arizona or Florida. 

8 mile industrial park loop. About the same time as last night run. It's really peaceful up there that time of day. The hammy is a little sore today, but I ran a little harder on Monday than I should have because it was feeling really good. So I'll have to keep the pace easy.

8.7 miles this morning around GS and a shorter Middleton extension. I was flat this morning. Just could not get any turnover at all. Hope to eat good today and get some more rest and hopefully I'll be able to feel better before tomorrow.

4.5 miles on the treadmill this morning. I was feeling pretty trashed last night and woke up with a cough in the middle of the night. So I took some cough medicine and that knocked me out the rest of the night and into the morning. I got up and finished painting and doing some work in the nursery then got a mini workout in. Hopefully I'll be ready to run tonight for the club run. 

10 mile run tonight with the club. We did an out and back on the parkway. Nothing amazing we just chatted and kept the pace at laxi taxi. I can still feel a little of last nights sickness or at least the medicine I took.

4.5 miles today. Actually I did a bike ride that and I'm not sure how far it was but it took a little over an hour. It was a killer ride over on part of the Bear Claw and Poppy Seed trail. My heart rate was bumping like I was doing a tempo or track workout. It was a serious killer- but way fun. I came home and was busy finishing some honey do's for the rest of the day. Then some family members showed up and I didn't have a chance to get out and actually run. That was kind of a good thing because I am still feeling a little sick. I guess we will see what happens on Saturday with a run or not...

To finish off the day I hit up In-and-Out for dinner and ran into Greg Harris. I'm on a kick with that place lately. That is the 3rd time in less than two weeks. Good stuff!

No real running again today. I had a chance to do some biking again with one of my cousins and so we went and did the same ride I did yesterday and it was killer again. Then we came home for a hour or so and went out again up to the Church Rocks loop and did it. I'm drained like I did back to back speed workout days of running. It was a lot of fun and a nice change-up for the legs. 

Next week might not be that hot for running either. I'll be out of town most of the week and will be in Torrey and Orem/SLC. I hate trying to run when it's cold. I'll try to get in what I can up there and enjoy the week just the same. However I'm looking forward to the week after that when me and my wife will finally be home and have our normal life back. So I guess you could say until then everything is going to be a push.
