Well back in wonderful warm Utah, Ha,Ha

Vegas was fun to run in some warmer weather. Today I could diffenitly feel the altitutde change as I felt like I was working harder, maybe the colder weather also had something to do with it.

My time today was 47:40.

What an awesome run today, not that my time was very good, but I seen three big bull Elk in the Spanish Fork river bottoms. It was very cool. Today it took me almost as long to do the 5 miler as it did the 6 miler yesterday. My time today was 50:27. I did feel very wack today, maybe tommorrow I will do better.

Today I thought I would just go out and do an easy run, and not push to hard, but once I got going I felt pretty good. My first 3 mile split was 26:08, I thought not to bad. I still felt like I had some more energy to give so The final 3 I tried to pick it up a little more and ended with a 24:51, total for the 6 miler was 50:49 almost a 3 min. improvement from Tues. 6 miler.

My right outside bottom of my right foot is still sore, so I took it easy. My time today was 47:50, and I also did 200 crunches to try and strenghten my core. The 3 Bull Elk are still in the river bottoms. Very cool.

I took yesterday off and let my right foot heal up a little. It was still a little bit sore today, so I took it real easy. I am haveing a hard time staying motivated. Everyone in my house this week has had the roto-rooter trots, sick tummies. My wife and I are the only ones who have dodged the bullet, so far. I hope I don't get that nasty stuff. my time today was a very slow 1:01:20.

I have been blessed with a new toy for my running addiction. My wife and Mom gave me a Garmin 205 for Christmas, and today I used it on my run. I think it will be a great tool to help me get better and faster. I am still trying to figure out all the bells and whiseles. I felt pretty good today after taking a few days of to let my foot get better still haveing some problems on the bottom of my right foot, I think it is time for some new shoes. My time today was 46:53. Average pace was 9.10 min. mile.

The morining there was a new inch of snow on the roads, so I did 20 min. of my nordic track, and planned to do 6 miles in the afternoon when the roads were not so snowy. I felt ok on the run, really did'nt feel much like pushing it, so I kept it at a 10 min. pace. My time today was a slow 1:53:00, My right foot is still a little tender, can't wait for the new shoes to get here. I did see 3 deer, and 3 bull elk which was way cool. There was a pretty good head wind through most of my run. Calories burned today 1169 on my 6 mile run, and 250 on my nordic track workout. I have been on vaction for about a week, before my vacation my weight was at 175, this morning I was at 172. I would like to get down to 160, don't know if I have the determination to do that. But will try. I whis I had my wife's will power to stay away from the refined sugar, chocolate is my main weakness.
