I was able to get my run inbetween the thunderstorms. It was nice to have cooler day. My legs are a little wack from yesterdays run. But I felt ok and was able to keep it going. My ankle as far as running seems to be a non-issue, it dos'nt bother me running. But it is a little tender to the touch. I am having a hard staying motivated in my training, the only thing that keeps going is I want to run the SGM bad. This sat. my Bro. Clay and I are planning a long run down payson canyon it should be a great time. My total time today was 1:19:45, with an average pace of 9:44 a little slower than yesterdays but that's ok I was never very speedy.

Had to wait until the thunder shower was over to get my run in, sorry Sasha but I refuse to run in a lighting storm. The ran sure made for a nice cool run tonight. For my training today I keeped it on the flat and did only a few hills, I do alot of hills during the week and decide today to take it kind of easy. So I went out to Harrys Hill and back home, and felt pretty good through most of the run. Sorry I don't have any fasenating potty stories to tell like my Bro. Clay. My total time today was 1:26:03, with an average pace of 9:33.

Did Payson Canyon down hill run this morn. It was a blast to go with my Bro. Clay. He is a pretty funny guy to hang with, and is good for a laugh. I felt good for most of the run, the last mile was pretty tough. when ever I run with Clay he makes me push myself a little harder than I usually do, it was fun. My total time was 2:03:43, with an average pace of 8:50.

Will todays run had alot of different elements incorporated to make it interesting. When I started the temp was at 100 degrees, there was a strong wind coming out of the canyon which gave me a strong head wind for half and a tail wind for the last half. The last 1.2 miles it started pooring rain, big rain drops that stung when they hit you. the weird thing was the sun was still shineing, so kind of a different run. I think being in the higher altitude kind of took the wind out my sails a little bit, so the run kind of kicked my butt today. Total time was 1:19:46, with an average pace of 9:42, I think my ankle is pretty much at a hundred percent so I think we are doing will in that area.

I thought that I would try and do some speed work today, now that my ankle is feeling 100%. Yesterday I felt pretty wack all through my run. I don't know if I'm drinking to much water and washing out to many electrolites. This morn I woke up and had a real bad cramp in my left calf muscel, it hurt bad. So today I drank some sports drink 20 oz about an hour before my run, and then another 20 oz during my workout. so we will try and see if that helps. My total time time today was 1:16:34, with an average pace of 9:19.

It was nice to be able and get out early and do a long run. It was a beautiful morning, nice and cool but a little on the hummid side. It did rain a little bit off and on, not to bad just enough to cool you down. There was alot of Lighting in the North end of the valley, some on the south and west. It made for a great show at 5 am in the morn. It felt pretty good through most of the workout today, got a little tired towards the end but we managed to pull through. I turned my Garmin off at mile 6 which is the top of Harry's Hill, there was a lot of lighting and I did'nt want to give any chance to becoming a conductor for it. So I dont have any mile splits from mile 7 and on. It did take a little over three hrs by my cell phone clock.

My total time was 1:22:14, with an average pace of 10:12. I my my muscel pull is'nt anything serious, it 's to close to the SGM. Yikes. |

I tooka few days off to see if my hamstring would get better. I went for a little 6 miler, and the paim is still there. I did'nt do any streching before I went out, but I did strech godd after I was done. It seems to bother me the most after I have been sitting and then get up to move around. It is pretty sore. I don't s any change from last week so I think this is going to take a while to heel. I may have to pull out of SGM. I really don't know what to do. Man I am starting to grt bummed. My total time today was 1:04:24, with an average pace 10:39, i was going pretty dang slow and the thing still bothered me.

| My leg was really sore this morn when I got up, I tryed stretching it through the day so I could try and run this eve, so I went out when I got home from work and after a mile my leg hurt so bad I had to stop. I don;t know what to do, this is so frustrating, maybe I will just have to stop and let it heal. Man this is really starting to bum me out SGM is only a month away, what to do, what to do. I think maybe I will try a bike and see if I can keep some kind of fitness for the marathon. I don't know. Dang!!!!! |

| No running again today My left leg is so sore. I have diceded to take a week off and see if I notice a difference. I will try running on tues. I am going to run SGM even if I have to crawl across the finish line. I ran 2 races in Washington county this year so I would'nt have to go through the lottery. I trained all last winter in sub freezing temps. I guess this is why I am so bummed out about having this injury only a month out from the marathon. I quess no pain no gain. I will do my best to try and stay focused on getting my leg better. |
