Hottest day of the year or run of the year so far. Arrived home from work this afternoon and the temp was in the middle sities. So I threw on the tank top and it was so wonderful to run without all the winter gear. I felt as lite as a feather, My run took me out past mini gu corner today and back. The legs did good after sat long run, after the run I spent 25 min on the bowflex doing upper body work. Good start to a new week.

Nice race today at Snow Canyon in St. George, the weather was perfect a little bit of a head wind coming out of the canyon. I did feel good through out the race today, had good energy and the old legs held up good. I do not know what place I had in my division as they had me in the wrong catagory altogether. Not sure how that happened, they had me in the womens 50-54 weird. So in that division I placed 2nd and about 58th overall. Just so bazzar, oh well.

My mile splits are as follows:

1. 7:53

2. 8:05

3. 7:37

4. 8:05 begining of the uphill miles through the Ivans neighborhoods.

5. 8:13

6. 8:17

All in all a good race for me.

Nice long run today and great weather, I ran out over harrys hill and up to the round about. Cut over to loafer canyon rd, then down to canal rd, to home. The last 6 miles I did my best to run at marathon pace miles, no I will not tell you what the pace was I'm still very turtleish. I want to try and get my body used to running harder when it's tired this training year. Maybe I will have a real good marathon. Cross my fingers.

Nice extended run around the golf course today, a bit on the windy side with some rain and sleet. But once I made my way down into the river bottoms the wind was a bit calmer. I did push the pace a little harder today, the old legs wanted to pony out a bit. I also did some hill repeats, finished todays workout woth some upper body work on the bowflex. Then worked on the lower body to work some different leg musceles. So a good workout today.

Nice long run today, hooked up with my Brother Rambo Hr. about mile 3.5 and did my best to run with him for few miles. Needles to say he helped me push the pace today, which is what I need. It was a perfect morning for a long, it has been a great week of training.
