Clyde's Comeback!

I finally started to feel better and get this bug out of my body that has been kicking around for the last two weeks. So this morning I thought I'd go outside instead of the treadmill. I'm glad I did. It was a nice morning and I would have only been able to handle around 7 miles inside on the TM.

I did the GS/Power/Watertank/Industrial loop. I just kept it nice and easy and tried to ease into the week. I ended up feeling really good all the way through the run.

7:29 min/mile pace for the run.

I need to hit 67.5 miles for this week and next to hit 4,000 by the end of the year. So most likely just do just that. I may do a little more this week if time permits so I can have it easy next week.

7.2 miles this afternoon before wrestling. Left the high school and headed over to River Road down to the trail. Then over through Bloomington Hills to the trail that goes to the Dixie Center. Then back up to the school. Nice little run. I hit one mile at 5:30 pace just to get the wheels moving and then just ran the rest easy. Whole run was right at 6:30 min/mile pace.

11 miles this morning. Same run as yesterday. No watch today- I just ran on feel. Anyways another nice morning here in the STG. The temp at my house when I left was 43. I can do 43 but not 33. Good run.

12.4 mile run this morning. I got a really good nights rest last night (finally) and slept in until almost 8 a.m. So I didn't get out until a little later than normal. It was misty and off and on with rain. At first I thought it would end up being a horrible run because of the wet and mud but it never got that bad. I tried to stay on the paved roads and not so much on the trails to stay out of the mud.

I went up past the fire station and over the new overpass in Washington, then down through Dogtown and a mini loop in GS and back around through Middleton and home.

Just ran it smooth and easy at 7:05 pace for the run.

8 mile run this morning. I went out for 11 or 12 and at the cut off talked myself into coming home early. So now I'll go out again this afternoon sometime. My left hammy was hurting all night and it hurt on the run today so I'll ice/use the stick and hope it feels better later.

Didn't get out again. I had a mild set back. While going down some stairs I rolled my ankle pretty good. Well actually about as bad as I've ever rolled it. Now we will see how good I can heal.

10.8 mile run today. After last nights ankle thing I'm just glad to have gone out. When I woke up this morning I couldn't walk without assistance from a wall or something else to hold on to. I milled around the house for a few hours cleaning and stuff and it started to feel a little better but still very sore. But I told myself I needed to get out. So I went out and just took it very easy. The first two miles where pretty painful and right in there I almost turned back but just after two miles or so I must have go use to the pain or it stopped hurting. Because I went on to have a really good run after that. It didn't hurt much at all. So I'm guessing it will tighten back up this afternoon and evening but I'll hit it with some good IB and ice.

16.1 mile run this morning with Logan and Dave. Bill and Mike started out with us and then we split. Loop up into Coral Canyon and back. 6:45 min/mile pace for the run. Very nice running with those guys and getting out this morning. Even though Dave said it was 22 degrees or something before we started. It soon warmed and was quit nice. Now we are off to Vegas to watch the bowl game BYU vs. UCLA part II. It should be fun and cold.
