I seen them all standing in a field close to the road over a freshly killed rabit. They looked like they were injoying there meal. I also did 25 min on the bowflex and finished with 200 crunches. Then rolled both legs with the big foam roller. I will take tomorrow off and do a long run on sat.

Both legs were real whack today, just no zip or energy. So with the marathon coming up next week I kept it short and easy today. I will take tomorrow off and try again sat. I did do 25 min on bowflex and 200 crunches.

I had to go into work at 3:30 am today, did not get off until noon. So the long run was in the heat of the day today, it was okay because I was not going to go very far as I am tapering for Park City Marthon next week. My legs felt good today after taking friday off. Next week will be easy runs as I do not want an injury at this stage of the game. Been a good week of training.

This was the hardest marathon for me to run, so much uphill. It was brutal but fun. Perfect weather conditions, not to many people. Just a nice beautiful place to run a marathon.

Woke up around 5 am could not go back to sleep so I strapped on therunning garb and headed out the door. I did feel good for the first few miles then last weeks marathon started to feel it a bit, my legs are still on the whack side, the left one as been a bother all summer long. But the fact that I am running at all this week is good so I will do what my body will give at this point. It will take a few weeks but I will be ready for SGM. I spent some time rolling the legs out after todays run. I really like that part of the recovery process.
