Today's run took out towards Harry's hill and back. Very windy run going out, at my back on the way home. One of these days I need to start picking it up on my miles. The Utah Valley Marathon is fast approaching.

I did a golf course loop today, nothing fancy as I just am struggling to get my mojo back. I spent some time on the bows flex doing some core strengthening and some crunches.

Another nice slow run today, went out past mini gu corner today. Good head wind going out, it was nice to have it at my back on the turn around to home. Legs for some reason are still feeling whack, they have been this way for a few months now. Not sure what is going on. I finished today's workout with some time on the bow flex, upper body core work. Then finished with some crunches.

I really do like this 10k, was not sure how I would do this time. Been fighting a hamstring issue for a few months which has left me less than desirable shape. But for the shape I am in, I ended up doing better than hoped. All in all it was good race for me.

My wife Wendy ran this race as well, her second 10k race of her running career. She enjoyed and had a great time as well. Very proud of the way she was able to preform. Great Job Wend.

Also ran this with my son Bryan nod my Brotjer Clay they both did excellent in their age catagories. It was fun to have them both along.

Today my legs were feeling going for a run. I did an easy golf course loop today, kept it easy as my legs are starting to bounce back from Saturdays race. No time for Bowflex or crunches today gotta get going.

Got up early this morning and headed out the door just before 6am. I wet out up over Harry's hill, then to the round about over tow loafer canyon road. I came out on canal road and it started raining good. I have not done a long run for a while it felt good to get out and get busy, good week of training it has been this week.

I was not able to get out until after 10:30 am this morning. What a nice morning though,did my usual Saturday morning long run with a little more. My legs were whack on the second half today, I think Wednesdays whacky hill repeats took their brutality to my legs today. Great run this morning, great week.
